A Series Of Fortunate Events

And so its September. Time has been passing pretty quick. I'm a full month into studying already, yet its only felt like a couple of days? I suppose its the army time syndrome; after a whole 2 years of being in a camp a month feels like a few days.

Completed my very first assignment in uni, and a little confused at how well I handled it. Friends everywhere are complaining about their assignments, and I found mine too simple. Perhaps its the courses I'm taking that are not so difficult, and perhaps like army training the courses I've taken are progressive in nature? Anyways, I thank God for this. When I see everyone else struggling (or at least claiming to struggle), I can't believe how blessed I am.

Another series of fortunate events include saturday's trip to church. As everyone probably knows the train service between Jurong East and Clementi has been stopped for this weekend, and at 2:15pm I found myself making my way to the shuttle buses to Clementi from Jurong East. The stipulated waiting time plus journey time was 45 minutes, and according to predictions it was almost certain I'd have been late. Even to an optimist being late would've been a forgone conclusion, considering the queue and traffic.

Amazingly as I arrived at the temporary bus bay the employees decided to open a second queue for commuters, and I was the 2nd person in the queue. Immediately I got to hop on a bus, and reached church 15 minutes early at 2:45pm. Just another wonderful blessing that could be nothing less than God given. =)

This morning my mom left for Batam and Darren for Korea! I'm sure they'll enjoy themselves. Everythings looking up isn't it? =D

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...

Aikatsu

Have been engaging in a couple of new interesting hobbies to liven things up.  First off, chess of which I've started diving into to learn opening strategies and as part of that have started to watch official tournaments. Good way to stretch my thinking muscles. Second, watching netflix series in alphabetical order. Never know what interesting gems you uncover. I'm partway through stuff starting with the number 2, and its quite amazing how much you find about other cultures from this. Upcoming is a movie called 2 Weeks in Lagos, I think will be interesting cos I will get to learn more about Nigeria. I last watched a movie called 2 States which was about the clash in cultures between North and South India.   Third, watching soccer for the thrill and excitement. Letting this blog live up to its name.  Fourth, PS4. Finally finishing of Tales of Berseria and starting on Assassins Creed Origins soon.  Fifth, anime - the usual stuff I have never gone without since thi...
