Shakugan

Since my exams ended on Thursday its been a whole mess of rushing around, especially with the leaders 2013 stuff being churned out for YE. There are a whole lot of other stuff that need to be done too, including meeting the J2s and also the assistant leaders... Ah well!

Got a look into the world of mixing whilst watching Pitch Perfect with Gihon and Vanessa! Well its the world in which Vanessa is in now, making songs using complex computer systems, and I'm glad I got to see a little glimpse of that. Vanessa herself is making amazing tunes and letting me hear them, and some of them are really really good!

Besides that, the other important thing was Jon's birthday celebration, which was today. I usually don't like much fanfare on birthdays (especially my own), but Jon does deserve to be applauded for the effort he puts into organizing Holland Cell activities, and my respect goes to him. Every time I see his work I'm reminded of superheroes working behind the scenes although they sometimes don't get the respect they're due. But he's done an amazing lot of stuff for the sake of the cell.

Lastly, I've finally taken the time to update my itunes, which now contains all the new anime songs of the anime that I've recently watched. Next on my anime list is Shakugan No Shana!


The introductory premise of this action anime is this: the main character, Sakai Yuji, because of a string of fortuitous events, finds out that he actually is dead right at the beginning of the anime. Why? Monsters called Tomogara eat the essence of human existence, causing the existence of some people to immediately disappear. How is Yuji still alive then? It's because of people like Shana, the red haired girl who appears before him, who are called Flame Haze, who create false existences called Torches (which Yuji is) to make sure the balance of the world isn't disrupted by the sudden disappearance of existence of a person. And this chance meeting leads to a whole chain of events that cause Yuji to be embroiled in the battle between Flame Haze and Tomogara.

Yup that's one big mouthful! And you gotta watch to understand. It was one of the really popular animes in Japan when it first came out!

And so, as ever, I'm busy! And as usual, I'll pull through. :)

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.
