CTs

Its the middle of CTs, and I guess I've been quite ok with the papers so far, though chem was a real challenge. Imagine if you look at the MCQs, decide to skip until question 7 and then decide to do section B instead. But I guess that helped cos I finished section B and C with 25 mins to spare then I speed read through my MCQs and finished it. If I'd continued trying to figure the MCQ answers, I'd probably not have enough time. Econs wasn't as killer as I'd expected, though my hands ached and I was shivering through the paper.

Well, Maths and Bio left. Two of the subjects that I have more confidence in. I just hope I pass my chem and econs papers. Get all C and above would be fine for me. And you know what? Teh bing works pretty well if you're feeling brain dead. Had a pretty sleepless night thinking about something good that happened after econs test. But shalln't disclose any of that sorry...

I've got a break tomorrow yay! Got more time to sleep, catch up on world cup and practice piano. Alrighty, A, B and Aural are really really good now... Left more practice on scales (Which kinda deteoriated after mugging) and C which should be ok. Only one month to grade 8 exam, can't afford to slack!

Hmmm still thinking about hols... The last week was full of YE outings. One ice skating, which was ok for me, one movie, which was better than ice skating, and Tim and Huimin's wedding, which was the best!

Went to JEC last saturday for YE's ice skating outing. It was pretty ok, cos I skated pretty well without falling. The atmosphere was good, there was lots of laughing and fun. Went to play a few arcade games after that. Watched a pro play Dead of Alive 4. He completed all the stages, even defeating the final boss. It was pretty awesome overall...

But its kinda amazing how you can get lonely even with lots of friends around. Not because they're not good company, because sometimes when you just feel down for no reason I guess that sort of feeling creeps in. In the dreariness of a long holiday I guess its quite inevitable.

On monday went to watch She's The Man at cineleisure. Played a round of pool with Paul which I lost, but I felt much better then as compared to Saturday. The movie was pretty intersting in my opinion. Well I just wish handling realationships would be that easy... But in reality its not. And its quite interesting the extent a girl can go to prove that she can be as good as the guys. And I say... Girls and guys are equally good. I'm such a fair guy right? Paul was comparing the movie and Twelfth Night. I haven't read the book before though....

After that we went to Suntec to find Sarah and eat at Carl's Junior, the best burger joint ever created I think. The burgers are just so big and juicy and appetising. The problem is the fries. A bit too salty. After everyone finished eating, we played a round of Around The World In Eighty Days... In which you have to guess the next place to travel to. Example...

Australia, Russia, Oregon, Ukraine, Netherlands, Denmark, Taiwan, Hawaii... I think all the YE people know what comes next. So this question is open to all non YE people. What country should come next? I'll treat the first one to guess this to a cookie (or maybe not) haha.

Tim and Huimin's wedding was the best ever. Simple and nice. With nice food as well. Tim wrote a song and did a music vid for Huimin... Can't possibly beat that can I? Haha... We'll see about that... Probably 10 or less years down the road? I felt really at peace there, seeing a good mentor and friend get married. It gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. But had to go home to mug after that though.

The sec2s went to plaza sing to buy strings, and guess what. The string my bro bought for $1.05 got wasted cos he snapped it while trying to bend on the acoustic. Wasted money. Plus the fact that the bookshop near my house (where they sell strings) is going to close down, it was pretty tough getting another one. He ended up using his electric string on the acoustic.

It was quite a pity that I couldn't go to the wedding dinner. Went for aural class instead. Cos of my grade 8 exams... Heard that the dinner was fun as well... Too bad I missed it. Hmm wonder how Tim and Huimin are doing on their honeymoon in Thailand?

Sunday was good. Cos both worships went really smoothly, although Yan Leen was leading her first main worship, and the sec 2s+Rach were manning the fort in YE. Kudos to all musicians and singers in both worships. Got really good feedback. Give each other a pat on the back haha. Looking forward to Youth Sunday on the 9th!

Meryl kicked herself out of Singapore Idol. What a disappointment... But I must say she didn't sing that well. It would've been good if someone from RJC were in though.

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. De...

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.
