Valentines

Recently I've been thinking deeply about my alma mater, and sometimes I just don't know what to think. I'm proud of it, for creating people of good caliber, able to enter the workforce, be productive for Singapore, and also function extremely well in society. But on the other hand, I now find salient some evidence why some people sometimes hate us so much. The indifference, assumed higher moral standard, and the blatant disregard for the feelings of others are some of the things I've been observing from some (not all of course) of my peers, seniors and juniors. Sometimes even from myself. I don't know what to say... I've always been proud to be part of the family, but now I don't know. Sometimes what you experience just breaks your whole view and positive regard of a situation. Attitudes change...

Well, on to more exciting stuff: my bros have bought FF13-2, and Daryl's now deeply engrossed with it, playing it continuously for some time. I'll probably play it, because its replayability value is high, but that's once I complete GTA4 and ACR.

Besides that, Daryl's done with his life as a poly student, and will now either be relaxing full scale at home, or looking for a part time job. Do ask him out yeah, since he's now free. Darren has just left for Thailand on his OCS training for a full 16 days, so do catch up with him when he gets back yeah!

Next, the servers are doing very very good jobs leading worship here in YE, and I was very very impressed with Deborah, not only because she led well, but also for her depth of introspection into the theme that she chose. And I'm glad some of the servers are helping out with worship. Looking forward to Aaron co-leading with me! Well with the progress they're making, they can become the next line of worship leaders! I'll slowly work them into it. For now, its just theme and song selection, but soon I'll introduce chording, administration, the need for passionate singing, and eventually leave the entire process to them. That'll take some time but I believe they're doing extremely well!

Lastly, Valentines Day this year was a first for me, before this every single year was just an ordinary day for me. I truely do feel the blessing of being loved by someone who has God in mind, and way that Van cares for me. After our date on Valentines some really bad news came in regarding my project group, and also my tire had a rather bad puncture which I fixed all the way till 1130... But there she was supporting me, although we were physically apart. We gave each other gifts with a depth of meaning, and with a deep heartfelt sincerity... And that's what I cherish very very much.

Well that's all for this post! Next week will be break week, but shall be busy with doing up my Japan and Singapore project proposal, and preparing a super nice file with our BS for Gihon (Since they don't have the book). So you'll probably see me blogging earlier in the week instead of Thursday. Catch you all back here soon!

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.
