Academic Exploits

And so one of the toughest weeks so far I've had in school has passed, with 3 tests, a presentation, and a preparation for an experiment all completed. Its time for some good old R&R, and a whole lot of rest. Spent a couple of late nights working everything out, but I guess its paid off in a way. Apologies for not keeping up the posting every Monday.

So a couple of highlights over the past week: the 3 tests were rather smooth sailing and weren't as difficult as I thought it was. In fact I've already gotten the results for my abnormal psychology test back, and I've scored a 41/50, which I'm pretty satisfied with.

Besides that, I've been working hard on a presentation that was exceptionally difficult, as the combined presentation with all 4 of us has to last 95 minutes, including discussion time for the class. I was rather stressed by that and spent quite some time reading the article I was presenting on and working on the slides. It went magnificently well in the end, being rather entertaining and informative!

Lastly, in a separate group project, my friends and I went to the Science Library and then Kent Ridge Park to film some footage that we needed for the conducting of an experiment on Tuesday. Of course, since I was the only one with a car I was tasked to drive. On top of that, I was the one featured in the video as well. But as with all my academic exploits, this one went well too, and when we showed the tutor our footage he was extremely pleased with it.

Because of all this, this week especially I felt exceptionally vulnerable and stressed, and I must say that God has been faithful, keeping with me even though in periods like these I may have lost sight. With Vanessa having some problems of her own, and me helping her shoulder them as well, the additional pressure did stretch me quite a bit. But one thing I do know, it is shaping me in a way to be more resilient and able to guide and protect her in the days to come, and its strengthening our relationship. Its a rather new experience sharing the pain of someone you love, yet having to suppress that pain to be strong for her. Its unlike anything I've ever tried, much more difficult than any challenge so far. But I'll cope with it! =D

With that said, it feels like we've been together for an extremely long time, even though its only been 2 months. That shows the strength of our relationship right now, and I'm very pleased. =) O levels are looming, and I'm praying for God to keep sustaining her and revealing His blessings to her each and everyday.

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.
