Utter Respect

Utter respect. For the strength, integrity and resilience of the Japanese people even in the midst of all the happenings. For manga and anime followers like me it was expected for all of it to be put on halt... But the fact that manga and anime continue to be churned out by the hardworking authors, animators and publishers are a true testament to the resilience of the Japanese. I'll never look at them in the same light again.

Went for my Japanese Studies lecture and heard about the family situation of the lecturer's family, with some of his wife's relatives still missing, and others safe and sound. Could really hear the pain in his voice. And in some of my friends too. I may not understand the situation full well, but my support and prayers are with all of them, its the least I could do for such a great people.

On personal matters... Cognitive Psych paper is going well, just one para left and biblio to do. Just concerned that there's not enough content to explain the concepts effectively. A two page paper is really not enough to treat the topic in a proper light. However, all I can do is trust.

Speaking of trust, today was really expecting a very very tough day, but in my prayers just committed everything to God, and I suppose letting go really helps you enjoy the little blessings... My bio psych tut classmates giving out sweets (which I really needed for keeping awake) for answering questions to name an example. Really thankful for that.

Oh well this day will be long but I'll be alright. Later. =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.

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.
