Neglected this space for a while... Have since started school, into my second week now. The beginning of the fourth and final year was eventful before it even started! I almost didn't get into the honours programme, because of some miscalculation that left me one module short of fulfilling certain criteria. But that was over already, and hardly without a hitch too.

And school is a dread already. I have assignments due almost every week and it's looking crazy. But this is really the furthest I can go already, probably never going to do post-graduate studies and probably my final year of committing to studying something for a degree or diploma (I hope). 

Will try my best to post frequent updates! I do actually have a lot of thoughts that I need to document down, but am just lazy to do it here. 

Still doing up the worship leaders' training curriculum, and I honestly feel as though I am researching and writing for a term paper! There's a lot of books to read and then I will find stumble across relevant stuff in other books. Once in a while I will get some nice stuff from the internet. And on rare occasions I will chance upon very excellent and nuanced points, but it isn't necessarily related to worship, and then right there and then it gets me thinking and researching other stuff. And thanks to a few people who've passed me more books for reference too! Hahaha I think I enjoy reading generally, just that I'm quite a slow reader. 

Commissioner Lim commented before on his blog that sometimes reading many commentaries and topical books are really helpful, but nothing beats returning to the Bible for the absolute Word. Which I find totally true. I get swamped by all these thoughts and ideas from the books, and sometimes all I really need to do is turn back to what does the Bible say about this. And I have this dual parallel Bible with NIV and The Message translation side-by-side which really helps. I love The Message because some of the phrasing is quite damning at times haha, but in a good way and it challenges and convicts really strongly. 

My main distractions nowadays are the Olympics games! Streaming it live on Youtube. I will play it on one side of my laptop screen and then do the curriculum on the other side of the screen haha. Watching a lot of gymnastics and table tennis and volleyball and swimming. Actually pretty much everything, because it gets really exciting at times. Waiting for swimming to start now, haha the bad thing is the swimming event finals are usually 2 or 3am in the middle of the night.
