Revolutionary

And so school has ended for this semester, and I'm pretty glad I've made it through in one piece. If there's one thing I've learnt this semester, is that seeking God and staying focused is never easy, but if you manage to do it, you'll feel all the closer to His presence. This semester has been tough, but even more so than the previous semesters, I've drawn closer to God and relied on Him. Exams are drawing near, and 2 out of 5 subjects have been studied already. Working hard on the rest. =)

As always, sorry for the lack of posts, have been studying and my schedule's been packed since the end of the term till today, and today marks the beginning of a whole stretch of free-ness that'll last till next year! So expect posts more often!

Have started on Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, the first of the difficult trio of songs that I'd like to try. This trio includes the above song, and his Heroic Polonaise and Fantasie Impomptu. All of them are amazingly hard, but since this Etude is the shortest, I'll start with this. The left hand for the song is very very fast. At least I'll finally get to train my left hand hmm.

Besides that, have also started watching Claymore! About girls needing to infuse themselve with power of beings called Yoma to defeat the Yoma themselves and save the towns from them. The story follows a girl named Claire as she enters into the organization of the Claymores. Its one of the more famous manga, ranking slightly below the big 3, fairy tail and tied with D Gray Man and Hunter X Hunter. Here's a pic:


That's Claire in the pic I believe. The anime is so named because each one of them has a Claymore, a Gaelic sword that they use to fight the Yoma.

Lastly, Os are over! Its time to date Vanessa! \(^O^)/ Its been 3 months since we've started dating officially so praise God for that!

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.
