New Sem

And so bidding is finished, and I've got all the modules I want! Here's a brief description of each.

1. PL 3232 - Biological Psychology

This is the bio part of psych (duh), focusing on how brain and body function determines a person's thoughts and behaviours. I'm quite looking forward to this, cos it's a merger of 2 of my favourite topics of study... How does the structure and functions of my brain make me different from anyone else in the world?

2. PL3233 - Cognitive Psychology

How do people think logically? What are their thought processes? How does the brain understand stimuli like light waves, sound and touch? These are the questions to find answers to here in this module.

3. JS1101E - Intro to Japanese Studies

Here's another one I'm looking forward to... It'll make my trips to the land of the rising sun a lot more meaningful than they have already been. Wonder what exactly they'll cover in the lectures. Exciting!

4. LAJ 2201 - Japanese 2

Finally gonna learn how to speak non formally... Enjoyed jap 1 thoroughly and scored well, so I figured I'd do Jap 2 as well! With my passion it should go great! Need to find old lecture and tutorial friends though!

5. GEK 1519 - Science of Music

This is a combi of music theory and physics... Which is pretty cool! After all the long years of doing piano, guitar, bass I'm finally studying in depth about it. It will be useful in YE or main's context I believe, to improve some of the facilities and equipment and such. Some more this module is non examinable! Bonus bonus!

This sem looks slightly less intense than the previous... So looking forward to it!

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,...

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

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...
