What If?

YE

Have been going to lots of outings with the YE people, including a movie outing, a couple of pool outings, a few house visits, and of course the normal YE sessions. But to me the most entertaining is still visiting Settlers Cafe , which is a board game cafe with a large array of uncommon board games. Hmm would like to bring some people from S03H there some day. I think they'll enjoy it thoroughly.

Went to play 2 board games: Shadows Over Camelot & Betrayal At The House On The Hill. Both of them are great, entertaining games but Betrayal, being a Wizards Of The Coast game, had a few elements of a horror movie put inside and that made all of us quite uncomfortable. My bad... Should have done a bit more research before suggesting the game. Shadows of Camelot was good, but I think it has low replayability value compared to some other games I've seen.

For description of the games, go to www.boardgamegeek.com
For information on Settler's Cafe, go to www.sg.settlerscafe.com

Well, anybody interested in going down to Settlers? S03H and guitar people are welcome to ask if you're curious about the place and wanna go.

Reflection

Its quite weird but I've asked myself the question "What If...?" quite a number of times over the past few weeks, in light of certain events that have been happening. Well and since I haven't been reflecting much, I've decided to do one for this post.

What if... I were born into a Catholic family and not a Christian family? This question came to me while Uncle Seto was talking about the difference between Christianity and Catholicism. Sometime I wonder. Would I be different? In terms of the way I conduct myself? Would I have the same belief in God as I do now? Would I be this fervent? Would I have gained these skills and talents that I have now?

What if... I were an anime character? The thing I wonder about is whether I'd be the protagonist or the antagonist. What skills would I have? Would I be a passive or active fighter? How would I fall in love? Will I die an honourable or terrible death in battle? Would I be a mentor to others? Would I kill? Why would I fight to protect, or to destroy? Would I be left alone and hurt? Haha sorry bout that. Hangover from Naruto watching.

What if... I were to die or get hurt suddenly one day? Just like dear Thaddaeus from RJC? The Korean man who fell from the penthouse of block 26? Like the woman at Stirling Road and the man at Whampoa Street? The woman who was killed by a falling tree at Bukit Batok Nature Reserve? Who will miss me? Who will remember and cherish my existence? Will anybody mourn my death for the rest of his/her life?

Well, one thing is for certain. God put me where I am for a reason. And thats what I have to find. Though I may wonder, I know that what is important is in the present, and what I can do now, and when I should do it is more important than what I would've done if I were in another situation.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

A time to be born and a time to die

A time to plant and a time to uproot

A time to kill and a time to heal

A time to tear down and a time to build

A time to weep and a time to laugh

A time to mourn and a time to dance

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them

A time to embrace and a time to refrain

A time to search and a time to give up

A time to keep and a time to throw away

A time a tear and a time to mend

A time to be silent and a time to speak

A time to love and a time to hate

A time for war and a time for peace."

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

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.
