18 and 8 days old

Happy birthday mom! Hope you liked the Ajisen dinner we went for. And thanks Gerald for buying that cheese cake for my mom. She liked it a lot. I think she's gonna make lots more yummy stuff for you to eat in future.

YE


Well, I'm 18 now... So went clubbing to just get the general feel of things. Some of you guys may have gasped... But I assure you that I didn't drink, and I just went to see something new! I'll never go again though, its not my cup of tea.


So some of of us went down to the Butter Factory, which is quite a small club. Me, Rach, Gerald, Paul and his gf. Nothing much to do there except see people dance (well they at least try to) and look at all the strobe lights whirling around and stuff like that. Jon and Eugene joined us later after booking out of camp for the nat day holidays.


The thing that surprised me was that there was a small region in Singapore just dedicated to clubs. All the hoo-hah about Singapore being a conservative society isn't totally true after all. It was something I'd never expected or seen before. The architecture's very good! Here are some pics.




Beautiful Fountain!





The shelter above us... Nice!

One thing that amused me was the themed clubs. One example is Clinic, which is a club made to look like a hospital. In the inside, its all hospital beds and wheelchairs for seats. And the inside is decorated just like a mortuary with all the metal chambers for storing dead bodies. Yeah that kinda thing.

S03H

The day before that there was the national day celebrations in school. Ate lunch in the canteen, then joined the guys for a round of Mahjong at A64. Didn't win many games though. Hmm Leonard How joined me, BenZ, Leonard Loh, Kevin, Chris and Sam from S03H, and we played for quite some time. BenZ kept on winning lol.

Soon it was 5:30pm, and most of us guys went down to get the food for the class. Some of the S03H people sat above the mini-canteen. It was a really nice feeling sitting there actually. Looking at the sky and enjoying the food and company, with music in the distance and singing along to all the familiar songs.

The concert was ok. It was good, entertaining fun. MR got third. BW and BB tied for first. Quite sad. In all my years as a Morrison or MR member my house has never won.


Haha never mind. On to the good stuff. I've finally found a scholarship that's actually useful in my case. The PSC Open-Med Local Scholarship. Registration opens 1st September, and I'm very excited about applying. But I think I'd better do a bit of research into it first. Wish me all the best!

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.
