Suicide.

Promos in 3 days time... Why am I not nervous at all? Why do I stay online? Why am I blogging at this point in time? Haha to tell the truth I don't really have the answers to those questions. But looking at everything going around and all the stress and stuff other people are facing, I sorta feel... Guilty?

While I do study, I somehow don't feel all that stressed at this point of time. Is it cos I've finished mugging? Is it cos I think that promos aren't that important? Is it cos I think I'll definitely promote? Or that God will definitely guide me through? Well I guess its a mix of everything. And when I compare how I'm feeling with how my peers are feeling... I feel guilty, for not taking the chance to help them, for not encouraging them, for not telling them that to relax and stuff.

Although its seems like no one is asking for help, I figure that there are some people who do need it. Just that I'm not receptive enough to sense it, or just too quiet to offer my help. So I'm gonna take this chance... Anyone who desperately needs help, please come to me if you want to.

Suicide. Wonder how many people regretted not telling the guy to lighten up? Wonder how many people didn't help him with his studies? Wonder how many people are feeling guilty at this point of time? Its been more than one week already. And the effects are still there. I have a friend in my OG who had to attend 3 funerals in a week, and I can imagine how much pain he feels inside.

While on the other hand I think of how selfish the guy who decided to end his life was, I think of how us as people don't stop whenever our paths cross with someone who needs help. I never want anyone around me to die just like that, just because I just sat back and let things go their natural course. I'd go into depression with such a strong sense of guilt holding me down.

*Those who strongly oppose arguments on the basis of religion you may skip to the last paragraph*

Heres something to chew about for all Christians out there. Would you ever comtemplate suicide? I wouldn't, cos I know God's always here no matter what. He's with us THROUGH IT ALL. Also, if I died early, I'd never get to complete the will He has brought me to earth for. If any of you Christians have thought of jumping off a building, think about God, not yourself. I know this sounds a bit harsh, but I think I have to say this just in case.

Further building on this point, if God can give us Christians the strength to live on despite all difficulties, imagine the strength he can give non-believers as well. Take this chance to tell everyone about the greatness of our God, so that they can see that life is not all about studies or ambitions. So even if they fail, they can fall back on the belief that God is still the most important, and they have to stay on in order to fufill his mighty purpose.

Next post would be after promos, most likely with pics! Look out for it...

So guys... All the best for promos or whatever exams are coming. Don't let the stress get to you. Its not worth it.

P.S I know this post might generate a few opposing views. So if you have any opposing views or think my views are too strong/insensitive, please post them on the tagboard so that it is up for friendly discussion. I too will try to be as considerate as possible. Thank you.

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.
