Thursday Thoughts: 28 July 2011

It's almost August and a lot of things seem to be happening in August. A new life starts for me almost. Firstly, I will be starting school, at long last. Another important thing is that I will be assuming the captaincy of the 23rd Singapore Company. That's a whole lot of things already.

At the end of August, I will also be completing my internship in Church. That will be an experience that I guess I will be sharing at YMPACT one of these days. But with that, I have decided (long ago for that matter), that after my internship ends, I won't be joining the youth service anymore. About time I left.

It has been such a long journey, and it is good to go, at long last.

Monday Musings: 25 July 2011

What can I write about this week? Well, pain I guess.

Physical pain, literally. There's an ulcer at the back of my mouth, near the throat. Not small, the size of a one cent coin and it hurts so bad. It was so pain that I could not consume solid food yesterday (which isn't a bad thing) and now I've resorted to not speaking for simply opening my mouth would send a spasm all the way round to the back of my head. But, at least I know that such kind of pain will disappear in a few days.

Heart pain. Wanted to write about this last week, but I just didn't know what to write. Fast forward one week, and I still don't know what to write. But there is a deep painful hurt in my heart, not for me, but for two good friends of mine who lost their baby. Words just cannot describe such pain. But I know there is a God above who comforts all.

Monday Musings: 11 July 2011

It's been a full month since I last updated. Most of the month I was not in Singapore. Was in Italy for a family holiday and thereafter in Chiang Mai for a staff retreat. Ironically, I actually felt a lot more rested in the latter.

Well, school is starting in a little over 3 weeks. That's great! Been pouring over what modules to take and it's a lot harder to do that at graduate level. However, I think I've settled on the two modules I wish to read this semester; graduate analysis 1 and a Level 6000 seminar module on graph theory. Three day week, two modules and one exam at the end of it all. Nice countdown there.

Time to really get a move on life.
