Initial D

This week has been pretty tough in some ways, with a very draining day on wednesday to top things off, with lessons stretching from 10am to 6pm, then tuition from 7pm to 9pm, thus giving a rather tedious 11 hour work day. I was rather fatigued on that day, and if not for Vanessa would've been even more weary. Her advice and hearing ear seems all the more powerful now that we're together.

Getting used to the rhythm of juggling school and work, and now with the new car its been made easier, and there's the general sense that if I didn't have the car, things would've been worse. And I come to a realization that everything that is happening now is put in place just at the right time, for my life to advance. With a car, tuition, the things I'm learning in class, and Vanessa too, everything just comes together efficaciously. And with that I can see God working through it.

I've long wondered how I'll be able to keep my passion for God burning even in uni, seeing some Christian friends I know get lax and lose sight of God, and I've found out that there's no reason to worry or even think about it, for God works for the good of all those who love Him.

Well have started on some new leisure activities: the first being Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. And the second, because of my car, being the watching of Initial D the anime. It really gets me excited to drive most of the time haha. No drifting for sure though, cos my car's auto transmission hehe.

Well the anime's about a young 18 year old driver named Takumi Fujiwara who helps his dad out by delivering tofu in the dead of night on the winding mountain roads of Akina, and in so doing inevitably learns drifting, and all the essential skills and basics to be a road racer. He does so illegally before he gets his license, starting to help his dad from the age of 13, which explains his great skill. =O Eventually he's challenged to a road race, and despite being new to it, beats one of the best drivers and shoots to fame. That's the gist of it. =)

Here's a pic:



Yup that's Takumi and the car he drives: the panda black and white AE86 Toyota Trueno. Oh another thing to note: in the live action movie Jay Chou acts as Takumi hmm.

Well, tutorials begin next week, and after bidding I've gotten an alternate week monday friday free schedule, so every 2 weeks my weekend will be 5 days long, and my work weeks will be 4 days long, which is a great bonus!

As I slowly learn new stuff, I'll update you guys on what I've learnt. But for now I'll leave you in suspense! =)

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.
