Ubin

The new semester is about to begin! Into my second half of year 2, I feel that I'm very much enjoying being a student at NUS, but also very aware of how soon the end of my left as a student is coming...

Before that, here are the modules I'll be taking and their schedules

PL3244 - Adolescent Psychology (Tuesdays 2-4pm)
SS2205 - Japan and Singapore (Wednesdays 4-6pm)
PL3241 - Personality and Individual Differences (Wednesdays 6-8pm)
PL3239 - Industrial and Organizational Psychology (Thursdays 10-12noon)
LAJ2202 - Japanese 3 (Thursdays 6-8pm)

Which means that for the first 2 weeks, I've have a 6 hour break on thursday... Can spend that time watching anime and reading my texts I guess... Hmm what to do what to do. Wednesday looks like it'll be quite rushed, but I can leave early from my Japan and Singapore module to go for my other lecture, so I'm not too worried.

Besides that, finally got a chance to properly visit the main jetty of Pulau Ubin! And its pretty easy to navigate there so we had no problems getting around. I don't mind just spending a day going to Chek Jawa just to relax, look at the swamps and enjoy the gentle sea breeze... The previous 2 times I was there was for YE camp and for OBS. And at the end of our cycling whilst we were going back, saw a beautiful rainbow, which was once again a reminder of God always being present with me.

Well got to send a couple of messages today to Gihon about SERVE inauguration, and to Andrew and Esther to schedule a lunch/dinner with them to talk about their future. Can't wait! Hmm maybe I'll use lunch time on thursday to meet Esther? Hmm...

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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...
