Quest For The Secret Ramen!

Next post is post 300!

Family

Went to watch Harry Potter on friday with my parents at Jurong Point. The movie was fine... If I didn't read the book before I think I would have been less excited about the movie. One major problem was that the final action sequences didn't do justice to the book. There was a lot more happening, and the final action sequence only lasted 15 mins. That part was disappointing.
Well, can't wait for the last book! Those who want to borrow from me (yes, I've pre-ordered), please let me know.

So far the borrowing list is as such:

Daryl/Darren

My mom went off to Batam the day after the movie (yesterday morning), leaving the rest of us guys at home. Dad did most of the housework such as washing cups, folding clothes etc. He is quite the perfectionist haha. And of course, we ate out. Just one day in and I'm kinda missing the home cooked food.

Instead we had KFC in the afternoon, and Ajisen in the evening. Good, filling meals, but nothing compared to eating at home IMO. Wasn't allowed to share anything with Daryl, since he was sick. Wonder if he'll be ok today.

S03H

Civics was something I found pretty interesting... Emotional Intelligence. Mr Wong talked about "the emotion reflex arc", in which in certain situations, you tend to pre-judge people, and once a stimulus occurs, you will instantly react to what another person does to you. The whole reflex arc will occur in just 7 secs! And the key to good relationships is to control this reflex arc.

Over the years, I realise that I've controlled certain emotions well, but other emotions have been left neglected. In my younger days, it was greed, self-centeredness. In primary school it was sadness and grief. In secondary school it was anger. Without realising it had something to do with the reflex arc, I managed to suppress certain emotions.

But I realise I still have some emotions to work on. Hatred for example. Pride and loneliness are others that I need to keep in check. I will work on these, and be a better person!

The S03H guys went for a quest for the super secret ramen on Wednesday (which was quite a failure heh) and then for another quest for the imba gosu ramen on Friday (which was a resounding success). After failing the first time with a team of 4, we made a team of 5 and went for it the second time.

For more info, check out Leonard's blog http://www.genesis-sg.blogspot.com/, under the post [Quest for the Holy Ramen 3].

Some pics from the quest!

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.
