Daioh

Apologies, for its been ages since I posted!

Well, school work is catching up to me, but with God's strength I will pull through. Specifically have 3 deadlines on the following week, though one of the group presentations is already settled. Left a solo project and a group proposal due. Besides that I've been rather fine. Busy doing readings, and over the past week all my weekday evenings were full with activities, which kind of restricted any time for other things.

The car's been giving a bit of problems with it stuttering whenever I come to a stop, so got it checked out and sent for maintenance with a hefty fee, but its now good as new, all clean and better than ever!

On thursday went with Vanessa and her family to go watch Tao: The Art of Drums at the Esplanade, and as a supporter of all things Japanese, watching the Japanese Drums being played was exciting, and they impressive thing is the incorporation of many aspects of the culture of drums: it being an aspect of war, work, history, mythology and leisure. Also the performances were so dynamic that there was never a dull moment. =)

Yup here's a pic.


Saturday's YE was a little nerve wracking, with the debate going on between both sides. My side was pretty quiet so had to step up. Thankful that Sherrill stepped up too... I guess I am pretty weak at rallying people for that kind of thing so gotta work on that. Vanessa was pretty shaken up by the build up of lots of stressors during the week, so had to be strong for her too, and I think I did a pretty good job of that. =)

And a happy birthday to her today! Went over to spend some time with her and give her some gifts. Can tell she really appreciated them and when that happened my heart soared. Could tell she was having the time of her life. =D

Other things: for leisure, I'm done with Chopin's Minute Waltz, which wasn't as tough as I envisioned it. Just a lot of finger dexterity involved. My next project will be Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2. Its the most famous one everyone should've heard it before. Also, watching a new, rather cute anime: Azumanga Daioh. About the school life of a couple of funny girls, much like Lucky Star, except less random.

And a second pic! The characters from Azumanga Daioh. From the left Yomi, Osaka, Chiyo, Sakaki, Kagura and Tomo!


Well will update on how my deadlines are going, so keep tuning in! Sorry for the break in posting. =)

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...
