Happy New Year!

Wow... Sorry for posting my new year's greetings this late... My dad took away the external modem to prevent my bros from playing. Haha. Well, doing my Geog project now...

Bowling was great! I scored 97 for my first and 75 for my second. A bit off form... Only managed One strike and four spares. Paid 2o dollars for everyone's shoes. Those who owe me money, please return me the money or else... Just joking! That was a pathetic attempt at sadistic humour, Daryl's forte. Haha. Anyway, went for watchnite service with everyone after that. Listened intently to pastor... Felt really sad for the people elsewhere. Be strong and courageous... After the peace, went to sit with my parents and my bros. Was really surprised that Hui Juan came up to share. Great sharing! I think among the scores of adults around me, I clapped the loudest....

The next day was soccer. Argh... didn't score. Never mind. Was fun. Great to see Ivan again. Great to see Johnston, Kenny, Caleb , Junxu , David, Ryan, Radius, Uncle Henry... Will remember you guys... And Ivan is still my idol! Great acrobatic saves! The rain was refreshing, wanted to play but decided to dry out. Sat beside Moses and Louis to talk. Moses has some plans for YE too... Cool. After soccer, the girls went up to change, and Martin and Paul were doing the Matrix thingy in the rain. Haha... "Won't die larh..."Haha.. Finally it was our turn to go up and Paul did the whole Eminem rap twice by the time we reached the 25 floor. Cool. After drying ourselves down, I borrowed one of Gerald's Shirts, a nice yellow one just my size. Will return it soon... Ben Aw wasn't so lucky though. Went to eat duck rice, then most of the guys left except me and Sidney. Went to play mahjong! I rocked in it! Haha... Went off with Sidney while Amanda, Hui Juan and Shirley were sleeping. We talked about Louis on the way to the MRT... Wells, fun day!

Happy new year again!

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 ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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. De...
