Board Games!

Over the past few months I've been having a sort of new hobby that really helps me destress quite a bit! Anime is good and all but I gain satisfaction in sort of working my brain out. So board games have become quite a good form of destress! Partially its the immersion in a whole new world and social part of it, but my brain enjoys a good workout. Have gotten a stash of board games, nothing that can rival Paul's but its slowly building up.

So far I've got:
Mansions of Madness - a thematic horror story-telling adventure kind of game in which one person (always me) plays the "bad guy"
Pandemic - a work together versus the board game to save the world from diseases kinda thing
Small World - a Risk-like every man for himself area grabbing game with special powers thrown in
Dead of Winter - a zombie apocalypse survivor game that's quite like the real deal but in board game form

I'm sort of a completionist also so I'll grab all the expansions for each game!

Had my 4th anniversary with Van on 13th Aug and that was a blast! We went cafe-hopping with a twist. I'm very pleased to have gone through 4 wonderful years. We've still got a couple more years, but we've survived so many life changes already I think its fantastic. She's my source of energy for those tiring days, and she's the reminder of the depth of God's blessing in my life. :D

This strange thing has been happening with my body being weird and waking me up early almost everyday. Some days its just 45 minutes earlier than my alarm, and other days is 2 hours earlier. Also have been dreaming more often. I'm not too sure what to think of it but it is taking a toll on my body. By 7-8pm I'd be a bit fatigued and 9-10pm plus I'd almost be knocked out and only be able to lie on my bed. I've been sleeping constantly at 11pm with no problems getting to sleep. Anyone knows what is wrong? :S This is a major contributor to me getting tired easily as well. The good thing is that it doesn't affect my work hmm. Oh wells.

Alright shall keep the momentum going and post another post whilst I'm at it!

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.
