Mayday

Yesterday was one of the worst days to fall sick... Especially with so many things to attend to. Grandma's birthday dinner, sorting out Gihon's prayer buddies and praying for YE to name a few. And it was the 1st time in ages I've gotten sick twice in the same year. Pfft. Oh well at least it gave me time to think about various things. But thats the only positive out of the many negatives.

Finally got my new QT material! Bought it during the recee for ID retreat. Just reading through Christian help books and short passages of the bible without something to put it into perspective was quite dreary... I'm glad I got the chance to buy it!

One thing I'm getting really interested in is murder mysteries, have been watching the Murder Game, Murder in Small Town X and Kindachi Case Files. Its scary how simple emotions can push people to the point of murder or committing a crime, and how twisted killers can be born from just a lingering hatred for someone else.

Another would be folklore, mythology and legends of various cultures. Persona, the Shin Megami Tensei series, Tokyo Majin and various readings on wikipedia pretty much piqued my interest. Its quite intriguing the way "demons" and "spirits" are blamed for natural phenomenon which can't be explained, and how people's imaginations can run so wild, causing them to create all these legends.

To do list:
1. Prep BS
2. Msg Elijah
3. Msg Gihon abt prayer buddies
4. Msg Gihon abt usher duty this week and YE
5. Prep teaching/ppt for ID retreat
6. Tutor Aaron on thurs
7. Driving on tues
8. Confirm CIP with Aunty KF

Leisure
9. Finish Tokyo Majin
10. FF13
11. Get lyrics for all songs on iTunes
12. Sign Lang
13. Cook

This years May's busier than usual...

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...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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...
