Heroic

On to the final Chopin song that I definitely wanna play: Op 53, Heroic Polonaise! It's gonna be another challenge, tougher than the Fantasie Impromptu for sure! Now that I've gotten the hang of the Fantasie Impromptu, shall spend the time improving it whilst I practice the new song. So far the beginning of it doesn't seem too tough, but the tough part is at the end where the LH plays running octaves... It's gonna be a mega tiring song to master but it sound really majestic! Ever since beginning my exploration of Chopin's pieces, I've always wondered when I'd finish the list of songs that I wanted to learn, and it's about to be completed! With that I'll have a whole repertoire of 8 Chopin's songs I can present to others! :)

Well as part of being accountable to everyone, I must admit that my QT as of late has been... Late. Haha well since there's so much to do in a day, Van and I usually start QT extremely late, leading to fatigue and some incidents of accidental falling asleep. I suppose we've got to start being more focused in our QTs... As a Christian couple, one thing that I believe is that before you can get a relationship right and God centered, your own life has to be God centered, and that's what we need for now, a renewal of focus! And do pray for us for that! Thank you very much!

B1G concluded last saturday, and I must say it was a pretty tiring experience. I've never been that drained from a conference, and I suppose my stamina is not what it was. The time spent there was definitely refreshing, and a big reminder of God's realness in my life. For one, many thing the speakers shared resonated with my previous experiences, and its always a good reminder of how other like minded Christians like yourself also do go through moments of brokeness and anguish, and how you recovered your faith just like they did shows how real a God we have! It was a great reminder of those times, and through that I was truly blessed. St James Church in a way does feel like a second church to me some how, and I suppose that's because its where the one who inspired me towards change came from, giving me a second, transformed life that fateful day 8 years ago. Another reminder of the realness of God in my life. =)

Tomorrow will be watching Hotel Transylvania with Van, and its a movie we've both anticipated for awhile! Exciting! :D

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. De...

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.
