L.A Noire

After 2 weeks of not posting I'm finally back! I admit it has been rather difficult, mostly because of juggling my work and being with Van with my personal to do list which includes anime, piano and running or ps3-ing. Wonder if I should decrease the number of things to do in my to do list per day hmm...

Well, the past 2 weeks have gone by well! Updates on my paper is that I managed to get it finished 3 days before the deadline, and the presentation passed by very well comparatively to other groups. For my group we got grilled considerably much less, and for that I'm rather thankful! Continuing with academics had my first mid term test last week on thursday on Chinese Heritage, which was rather doable considering the vast scope it could've covered. So 3 more important deadlines have passed agreeably!

For now its recess week! And I'm looking forward first to my Japanese "project" of having to show students from Waseda University around NUS on this friday, and next to having cell with Gihon on saturday. Plus that, I'll also have dates with Van of course, who is ending her job on wednesday. Besides that tuition with Amos, perhaps along the course of the week if he needs them. There might also be a bible study leaders meeting. In a way its great to see the YE comm start work on meetings again, and I can't wait to get things started again.

Turning to leisure, I've finished Yakuza 4 and I'm starting on a new PS3 game: LA Noire! Its the genre which I appreciate very much: mystery and puzzles in a world roaming format. Just think GTA without excessive killing, with the main character being a detective instead of a vigilante. Very much enjoying it! Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu is proving very difficult, and I've only made it to one and a half pages so far.

I remember the past 3 or so days each having a really unfortunate incident that I was disappointed about, but surprisingly I can't recall much of the happenings on thursday and friday. I suppose I am pretty optimistic hmm. For yesterday though it was a happy occasion marking Juan and Nick's wedding, and my first visit to a Japanese cultural festival at Waseda High School, after YE I found out that I'd left my headlights on all the way from 930am to 7pm... And the battery was drained. That was really deflating after such a good day hmm.

Well, I need this coming week to catch up with sleep so catch you guys some time. We'll see when I get to update my blog!

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.
