New Year!

5 posts left to the 200 mark!

Chinese New Year update! Three main things during chinese new year...

Dad's side visitation. Actually it wasn't that much of a 'visitation'. More like go to my grandparent's house that kinda thing. Since all my cousins and uncles on my dad's side go there, all we have to do is go there and collect all the Ang Pows without having to visit a seperate house. So it was pretty cool. As usual all my cousins were dressed in their new clothes, and since most of them are around my age we talked a bit and played a bit of Mahjong and Jim Rummy. Got super demoralised after I lost about 10 bucks in Jim Rummy, but managed to win 8 bucks back by the end of the night. So yeah, the total losses were $1.80.

Church! Went there to do ushering after visiting my dad's side relatives. My dad had a new job for me and Grace. Haha. Pass out the offering bags and click some clicker thingy to take the attendance. The clicker thing was pretty fun actually. Haha. Not many people went, but it was lively enough... Headed back to my grandparent's house for more gambling...

Mom's side visitation. Had to travel to a total of 4 houses. My first aunt's place, second aunt's place, my godpa's place and third uncle's. You know what? My mom has 10 siblings. So we were pretty lucky that most of them came to my first aunt's place. Otherwise... Haha. It would have taken till midnight at the rate we were going. Saw many long lost cousins and all those nephews of mine who are older than me. You guys remember Jomel, my cousin who went to YE? Yup she was there, but dunno about her guitar skills ever since she stopped lessons. Haha.

Went back to my dad's side, where everyone gambled like crazy. Haha. My bros included. So I won lots and lots by playing Mahjong, another $8 to be exact, but lost $2 on Jim Rummy yet again. Total losses... Approximately 4 bucks! Big dip from last year... Sigh. Haha. Well, so thats how my Chinese New Year was spent. Not much really.

Haven't counted my CNY money. Haha. This week was quite crazy and fun, update you guys more about it later! Yup. Maybe after YE on Sunday.

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
