Watashiwa no nakama!

YE

Movie Screening at YE! The movie was great IMO, and there were a couple of quotes and learning points that meant quite a lot to me. Especially with the exams looming, and the question marks floating around on what the future would hold. So here they are. I think it means a lot to the other exam takers too.
1. "Preparing for rain".
2. Faith without action is meaningless.
3. Thank God even in the successes and failures.
4. Godly methods are no match for worldly methods.
5. Miracles do happen. There is no such thing as impossible.

Ok a list of piano songs that I've been practising in free time. As you can see its a list of FF songs plus one jazz piece basically.

Autumn Crocus

For the jazzy feel that I've never tried playing before...

Aeris's Theme - FF7 AC

Reminds me of yzyz's for his pwnage playing of the triplet accompaniment with the quaver melody, Rach for sending me the song file, and BenZ cos its his fave FF song.

Fisherman's Horizon Theme - FF8

My fave FF song out of all the FFs I've played. Which includes FFA, FFAQ, FFT, FFTA, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF10.2, FF12. This is the only song that makes me feel very very calm.

Eternal Harvest - FF9

Tougher than all the rest of the songs... This one is super fast paced and used for training finger dexterity, modulational mood changes and LH smoothness. Not to mention psychomotor skills.

To Zanarkand - FF10

Its famous. No need for any more explanation. I've played the noob version on guitar before, so I shall do the pro version on piano and leave the pro version on guitar to my bro.

Eternity of the Memory of Lightwaves - FF10.2

Nice duet song. Need a solo instrument to duet with though. Elec guitars don't sound very compatible with the song. Perhaps a sax? Or flute? We'll see.

Watching One Piece now!


Monkey D. Luffy! The most funniest person I have ever seen. Though not the most smartest, his total faith in what he does is really admirable.

He's chasing his dream, his nakama are chasing their dreams, I shall chase after my dream too!

Bah just got my NS letter from the letterbox. It says here that I'll have to go for enlistment on...

Woot 15th Dec.

Not if I can help it. If you'd asked me three months ago whether I'd want to go early for ns I'd probably say I don't mind. But now... God has given me something to do, well at least to start before I go for my BMT. And its very very very important to me at least.

So I'm gonna take my IPPT on the 28th of Nov at the Toa Payoh Stadium! Wish me all the best.

I believe I can attain a silver at least, at the rate I'm going now. I've always been very good at situps, sbj and shuttle run, and getting better. My current pullup count has risen to 4-5 from only 1 (which was 6 weeks ago). Going to time myself tomorrow for 2.4. But the one I'm worried about is sit and reach. I've never been very flexible (in all senses of the word).

I have faith I'll be ready by then. So no probs. I'll be praying for both As and IPPT!

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.
