Concerts

Hey guys... This week was an awesome week. But well if you look at another perspective it was a crazy week. I mostly had fun this week, and I'm glad its all over. NAPFA and the two concerts. Over! Yay.

RJGE Concert

I came to this concert with one major purpose: to have fun. And of course it was really no problem with all the funny people there. Even the rehearsal before that was full of laughs. Lame jokes all over the place, 'Ben Low' puns, funny antics etc etc. I was kinda glad that everything went alright for me. I was in slacker mode I guess. Played a total of 7 ensemble songs and 1 rock band song.

A Comme Amour
Historia De Amour
Doraemon
How Deep is Your Love
Jap Song
Take Me Out
Spring
Shall We Dance

Overall it was the funnest ever... Can remember the encouragement gifts given by our section leaders. Felt really really happy and blessed with all those goodies. Its a wonder how I didn't get a sore throat haha. My friends were quite happy with the concert, everyone said it was good. Haha. And during photo taking, everyone was kinda like shouting my name. Don't tell you guys why haha. If you wanna know ask the RJGE people.

NAPFA

Haha. I'm really happy that I passed and made bronze, with 2As, 1B, 1C and 2Es. Especially after my 3 week break from the gym. Now I can play soccer while those who missed NAPFA have to take! Yay. the two As came in shuttle run and sit ups, while the 2Es came in Sit and Reach and Pull ups. Time to work on my flexibility and arm strength. Maybe a bit of stamina too.

I was kinda happy that my class was super united during NAPFA. We kept cheering people on, especially those who were weak at that station. It kinda got everyone past NAPFA in one piece. Even the girls who weren't taking 2.4km shouted words of encouragement to us guys taking the run.

RR Concert

My band's purpose coming into this performance was to:

1. Make an impression on the RJ people
2. Show the power of God in our lives

Not so much to show off and have the time of our lives. In fact, we were the only band to flash lyrics during our performance, because we wanted people to read the lyrics and get touched by what they heard in the music. I guess it sorta paid off when people sang along. It felt really awesome.

We started after Electrico, which was a plus and a minus point altogether. Being the first RJ band to perform was good, yet going behind a seasoned band was pretty daunting. Well, it didn't help that during the performance, Guoren's guit was a bit out... And my bass solo wasn't loud enough. But I guess we did an ok job. And everyone I asked said it was good.

Oh well. Had to play for Minister Yaacob Ibrahim while he sang Yesterday during the pre-concert. I'm kinda glad that MOCA was there to help me as well. I couldn't have done it alone. After that, had to pass the certificates to the minister so that he could give them out to the organisers of the concert. I stood right beside him! One in a lifetime chance. To stand beside him for a whole 10 minutes! Gasp.

Bands that played include:

LSD - RJ band
Minus Negative - Charity Band
Electrico - Professional Band
Eden-Sol - RJ band
Spanish Fly - Professional Band
EIC - Professional Band
Mr Pink - RJ Band
Zhen - Professional Band
Absolut - RJ Band
Bandage - RJ Band

Not forgetting the instrumentalists. Edmund and Hyqel, as well as MOCA! Everyone did well, although one of the professional bands disappointed...

Well, time to catch up on my stuff...

Stuff to do:
Maths Tut

PW PI

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.
