Outings

Ok for this post it'll be about random stuff and pics from the YE outings I've had since the end of exams.
1. Prata

Ok I'm a prata noob who's only eaten egg and plain pratas before. The only exception was the noodle prata on the day of Take.5 though. Met Paul and Martin at Al Ameen, a prata house opposite Beauty World. Had my first taste of a banana prata. (Yes, noob I know.)

Got there pretty late cos I overshot the stop, and had to double back + walk.

2. Pool

I've been having lots of pool practice these days. Went for 2 pool sessions with Paul and Martin.
1st session near the prata store
Paul 2 Me 1
Martin 1 Me 0

2nd session at Bukit Timah Plaza

Paul 1 Me 1
Martin 1 Me 2

Those two sessions were pretty much warm up sessions after rusting up over the exam period. Didn't fare too well. Kept on conceding free balls. But right now I think I'm quite on form thanks to those pool sessions. (Well on form enough to play well with the S03H people)

Finally we played a who can pot the most balls game. I won that one, potting 17 balls out of a possible 45.

3. BBQ

Finally the one I have pics of. Reached Mel's house early to help start the fire. Didn't help much with the first pit, but I was the one who started the second one with Li En's help. Never did it before, and so wasted lots of firestarters.


Playground swings.

Went to swing a couple of times, and then came back to continue work on the fire. Then everyone started screaming and backing away from the sink area... The reason: A gigantic praying mantis. Caught it and let it move around on my hand for awhile, then set it free in a couple of bushes. Woot honestly I thought it was pretty cute but I'm one of those weird ones. Heres a pic.


Praying mantis. Why are you guys scared of it? It doesn't bite.

Soon the fire started, and Paul arrived with a pretty good sound system which he plugged in to the power source. Yup soon loud songs were playing. Wonder if we disturbed the neighbours.


Paul and his sound system.

We celebrated Audrey's birthday with a nice cake (which she took home). Aww man I wanted to eat it. Happy birthday to both Audrey and Jon.


Chocolate mint cake from Polar. One of the best cakes IMO.

After that went to play soccer with Saul, Shaun, Kenneth and Andrew. Soon Gerald came but by that time we headed back. The remaining time was spent on the swing, playing Munchkin Fu and watching the rest of the people playing double whacko.

To round up the day, most of us went to McDonalds at KAP for supper and that was it.

Well... Wonder how long the fun will last for me. NS looms over the horizon.

Next post: Grad Night. (I hope I get all my pics from random people by then.)

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.
