Staying up late

Watching the match between Deportivo and Liverpool on ch5 now...

Can't help but notice that both teams are trying to make accurate passes instead of trying at goal. I'm quite bored now actually...

Liverpool are playing really differently from what they usually play in the EPL; in the EPL they specialise in utilizing crosses from the flank or superb runs down the flanks to initiate attacks, but here, they seem to be passing the ball to gain momentum, which I guess is really safe and sound defensively but its not that strong offensively. Sturdy players like Murphy, Heskey dislike that kind of attacking, so I guess thats the reason Rafael didn't include them in the team...

80mins left and still nothing... Deportivo just haven't shone, and from their matches in the Spanish League, you can say that they aren't powerhouses anymore. Their attacking is non-existent (Sorry, I don't mean to be blunt), and their tackles are inaccurate. But give them a little credit...they've managed to hold Liverpool who beat Monaco.

Well...disappointing match. (That won't stop me from watching at night though...)

Updates for the matches will be coming soon...

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Vox Humana

497th post. Its been a rather pleasant weekend, filled with Gihon and worship stuff. Really enjoyed myself baking with Gihon. Wished we could've taken a vid of everyone for Youth Day... Probably will have to meet them one day to film them haha. Probably will organise a homework doing session for them to complete everything before the hols end. Well Father's Day celebrations today went quite well... Only had a couple of hours to practise for the hoedown, and practise for the worship went comparatively better than the prac during camp. It was my first time playing piano/organ/keys/trumpets/vox for worship, and I'm glad it went ok, and I did it with God. Driving test is on friday... Not too worried about it, and also have no prob with failing it actually. Taking it easy, but hoping for good news. I guess its the peace that transcends all understanding thats taking over. And the most important thing for me for this test is not whether I pass or fail, but whether God was with me
