Numb...

Alright! Soccer was fun!

Goal Tally: 9 goals in 15 matches in 5 sessions

I joined a new group with new people, Benny, Paul and Eugene. They're pretty persistent players who thrive on working hard to score goals. They're really stable players. I still didn't have much form though. It came late in the last game. That game was kinda like a Man U vs Arsenal thriller. You know what happened? I got pit against my previous team. Yeah. Haha. Kind of weird playing against the people who you used to help. In the first few minutes, our team had a 2-0 lead, but lost it as Kenny pulled 3 goals back and Shou Yee scored one to make it 4-2. Soon it was 4-3, then 5-3. Then we pulled back 2 more goals through Benny and Paul, making in 5-5. Haha.... Then it was the last few seconds of the match. Paul kicked the ball, and it fell to me in midfield. Nobody was coming, and Shou Yee was off position at the goal mouth. I dribbled awhile, then aim and kicked. And the ball flew and entered the right corner of the goal. Then the whistle blew. Hahaha... 6-5, with me scoring the winning one! Hahaha. Really sounds dramatic but ironic.

Well, played table soccer with Samuel, Eugene and Dali during RE. I and Eugene vs Samuel and Dali.

Ben & Eugene vs Dali & Samuel
34-16

I admit. We jammed the table soccer machine. But if we didn't, we'd have to pay $2.50. I'm too stingy and thrifty. Haha.

I was kinda numb throughout the wake. Not that I wasn't concerned, or anything negative. Maybe it was because my grandma died when I was acout 6 years old. I cried a lot and was really sad when I was young. Maybe thats why this wasn't as bad a thing as compared to what I experienced in the past. Read the book of job again. Doesn't tell anything about being numb about suffering. If you do find it, tell me ok? I wanna know if what I'm feeling is actually natural or not. It kind of makes me feel weird and different. Haha. Well.

Sometimes I feel like Soujiro Setta from Samurai X. No emotions whatsoever. Always smiles though. Trying to find himself and his freedom. Yeah. I feel like that. I don't know why. Maybe its cos of a sad childhood like his? Dunno.

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,...

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 ...

Bakemonogatari

Hiya everyone! Just signed my permanent staff contract today and I must say that was a real moment of satisfaction. Shows that the 2 years of hard work and dedication to what I do has paid off in a big way and I'm happy with my work. When I started my job I had no idea it would be this fulfilling and enjoyable and I am so blessed to have it. Couple of exciting things are happening: for one a holiday with my family to Korea. Other stuff include pay raises and the bonus that goes with it, Euro 2016 etc. I finally watched a match on Saturday (it was boring) but Sunday night's matches were great. Tonight not too sure if I'll watch any but it's shaping up to be an exciting tournament. Well that's all for now, more updates after the next series!
