1 Year

Hi all, its been half a year since this blog was updated and I'm starting to understand the part it played in my life: an outlet of reflection and understanding my inner self. It seems that only through journaling do my inner most thoughts and emotions come to the forefront. Its high time I re-kindle that and so here I am. I just hope that I can sustain this despite work.

First off, just over the weekend I completed my IPPT, 63 points = Pass with incentive. Despite not training for my running I'm glad I managed to complete the run without stopping, albeit with a timing less than satisfactory - 13+ minutes. The surprising part is how even despite that I still managed to get 63 points. I suppose training with push up and sit ups have been useful! Very thankful to God for pulling me through that.

The other thing is that I've reached 1 year of service at my company, and I'm still very pleased and happy to be with the organization I'm at. June was very difficult, with church camp and also having to see 50+ clients during the month. It was the toughest month that I've had since I've joined and there were times where fatigue would just consume me. Part of this month I needed to deal with spillover from June, and I must say I haven't had enough rest. Partially because of church camp I had less days to do my mountain of work - 18 working days for 56 cases was an average of 3+ per day. Plus I had a couple of difficult clients that were taking my time and kept coming to see me in July. Well August is going to be better I hope!

More happy news is that Vanessa and I are headed to our 5th year of our relationship, and everything is great as usual! She's had to deal with my fatigue and she's a great support, and I've been helping support her in her decisions for her future. She's in a time of transition and figuring out what she wants to do with her life, and to be of help is an honour for me. I'm especially happy when I put that smile on her face when we meet, especially when she's been mulling over various problems.

Leisure! Ever since the start of the year I had to do lots of dropping stuff - I'm no longer running or playing the piano, regrettably. But anime is one thing that helps me relax so I'm still going for that. Watching Moyashimon now, which is a rather interesting anime about a Agricultural College student who can see microbes as cute little emoji look-a-like thingies. Quite educational, as it teaches about the kinds of micro-organisms that can be found around your home and are important in daily life!

Hope I keep up the habit of blogging again (although I can't guarantee that I can do so). Shall try my best!

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.
