International Friendship Day

In the light of International Friendship Week, I'd like to thank all my friends who have been so helpful, so nice, and those who've just been there for me, even in little ways... I've realise that my friends are all awesome people. Being someone's friend isn't easy. You have to listen to them when they spill out their troubles, and its never nice. Anybody who's a true friend with someone else should be respected.

Well... SYF rehearsal was ok for me. Chairman was really nervous I guess... He told me he wasn't happy with the performances either... But I felt it was ok. Deserving of at least a gold to tell the truth. But... You'll never know... Haha. I'm an optimist. I think it'll be gold with honours and I'm confident of it! Although it isn't perfect yet.

PoP practices are so great! We're going to do awesome stuff on next Saturday. Everything's going smoothly... And know what? I prayed, and they didn't schedule any guitar practice for Saturday. Haha. Good! Haha. Ivan and Jesse came down, and so did Mel. Woo hoo! Thanks for coming Ivan. We really needed the keyboard... The script is real interesting, yeah? Mugging chinese is tough. Especially if the chinese handbook has so much wrong stuff in it. Haha. Man U's away kit is White right? I'd better tell Paul and Jon then...

You wanna know how I busted up my chin? K. Me, my bros, Hui Min and Yan Leen were playing soccer in the upper hall. I had the ball and wanted to try a simple manouever. You know how to dribble the ball past your opponents when you're in between them, and they get too near? You send the ball forward between them and then dash through after the ball. Thats what I did. And then... My bro put his leg out so high that it was about knee height when I was trying to pass through. Then I fell... Haha. Embarassing. Well. I wasn't expecting that kind of tackle. They aren't that experienced I guess. If I'd used that tactic on a good duo of players, one would cut me off by putting himself in between the ball and me, and the other would go after the ball. Even if they're not that experienced, they wouldn't have risked getting red carded for that kind of rough tackle. Haha. Well. My chin's fine. My speed of healing is so high that its forming a scab now. Even after one day only! Haha. That kind of wound usually takes a week to heal?

Thanks for being concerned everyone. Really appreciate it. And once again... I love you all. Friends are one of the best gifts God has given to you. So cherish them, just like the treasures of God's kingdom. Love ya!

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 ...

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!
