First Week

And so this first week of 2011 has been moderately busy, with activities almost everyday to occupy myself with.

On saturday, went down to my maternal side cousin's house all the way in Bedok, to see my niece who's 1 year old. Her name's Riona, and I was pretty touched at the effort my cousin and her husband put in to create wonderful memories for her to look back upon. Had to drive back, which I quite enjoyed, but it was slightly stressful because of the distance.

Sunday, playing for main. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Somehow I feel I was made to play in bands like that, with high technical ability. I was in the groove so to speak, I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, and I was moving along with the rhythm and meditating on the words of the songs. Playing with adults just seems different, and its something I've come to enjoy. No stress at all even!

Monday, grocery shopping. Drove to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. Rest of the day was uneventful... It was sort of my "day of rest" before the busyness set in.

Tuesday. Worship Leaders meeting. Juan wasn't there, so helped her present the budget and take down a list of things to do. My first source of stress for the week. I was totally unprepared for it... =.= In the midst of it I almost scared myself to death, suddenly realizing that SERVE inauguration clashed with my japanese lecture if it were on tuesday. But messaging Edgal and Shengwei calmed it down, for it had been shifted a day later, and I was already prepared for it to clash with my Romans training before hand. Phew. That was quite a shock.

With a tough round of bidding to top that, it was tough to stay happy. Though I wasn't unhappy either, just not in that optimistic state I usually always am in. Yesterday was one demanding day, but at the same time it was alright.

So some things remaining for the week: Romans training today, SYC chalet on thursday, SYC on friday, Leaders training and YE on saturday, and service on sunday. Thats a lot whoa.

Finally, leisure. Have started on Last Rebellion on PS3, which is quite like my kind of game. An RPG in which you actually have to think more. Quite like mastermind in the gameplay. For anime I've moved on to Samurai 7. And I've finally made progress on Chopin's Grande Valse Brilliante op 18 after leaving it stagnant for some time.

School in 5 days... It's alright. For now haha.

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.
