For Who You Are

Hey guys... I guess I've sorta overestimated the pressure of juggling my rock, guitar, piano and H3 commitments. I'd expected myself to burn out by midweek, which was approximately Wednesday, then die for the rest of the week. Although I did burn out on Wednesday, after piano I felt strangely... Good. And the rest of the week felt like a breeze. Even though there was additional prac on Sat it was really nice.

Glad I'm feeling that way. Keep it up Ben Low! Only 17 days left to stress freeness!

S03H

Well... Most of the results are back, and I guess its been better than expected. With only 2 days of mugging per subject I'm pretty surprised that I did that well. My powers of DOTS are pretty strong (probably thanks to Zheng), and I think my memory of past topics are very good. Will announce the results once I get my maths, GP and H3 Bio results.

H3 test was easier than expected. They gave the MOE level paper instead of the bomb hard kind given during the previous Promo exam, and it was much better. The standard of questions were quite satisfactory and ok to handle, so I'm sticking with Bio H3! Originally S03H was supposed to be a H3 Bio class, but everyone converted to NUS H3 Bio, H3 Chem, H3 Econs blah blah. Me, Sam, Chris are gonna stay true to our roots! Haven't asked the twins or Kashwin yet though.

Haha but I only started mugging on the day itself so I'll see how it goes haha.

Oh for the first time... I ponned two lectures in a row, and I guessed it was pretty well ponned, considering the content of the lectures. No white slip pls!

Eden-Sol

Well, we're well on our way to finalising the last few songs in our concert line up. We've changed it dramatically since our last Eden-Sol Rock Musical. We're gonna be a bit more funky and a bi more emo than usual. We're also trying to divert ourselves from our heavy grungy sound. And I think even non rock peoples will like what we do. Will reveal the actual line-up a day before the concert, so stay tuned for it.

Additional info: We're redoing 1 song, reviving an old practised song and doing 3 new ones just for you guys.

Those who want tickets, don't forget to approach me! Go discuss amongst your friends before asking me, it'll be better if you guys come in a large group and mosh together haha.

So... Have been looking for the following few songs just for practise:

Pain ~ Three Days Grace
Higher ~ Creed
City Of Blinding Lights ~ U2
Beautiful Day ~ U2
Its My Life ~ Bon Jovi

Pretty nice songs, but won't be playing most of them for concert. Just for practises sake.

YE

Haha our second GAY (guys at YE) outing took place on Thursday, and it was a fun filled experience celebrating Kenneth's and Eugene's birthday at the Rail Mall. After eating Bak Chor Mee we went to a nearby wine place to drink a little. (Not me though, I've promised that I'll never drink. Ever.)

Picture time!

Heres the wine place. Pretty homey right?

Eugene, and Kenneth!

From left to right: Benedict, Eugene and Martin. Ignore the two girls at the back.

Kenneth and Ernest with pretty funny looks on their faces. Sorry guys couldn't help not putting this one up.


Gasp! Incriminating evidence. Trust me, I didn't drink! It was the other guys lol.

Ok thats all for today... Besides those in the pics, a few more people like Shaun, Gerald, Paul, Jon came as well! Cheers to the organising comm of the second GAY (I repeat, Guys At Ye) outing. Till next time.

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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...
