Thankful

Hmms... The birthday celebration on Saturday went great! Yeah... Happy Birthday to Mel and to Kenny of course! Went to Marche at the Heeren for dinner... The pizza's awesome. Yup. Then went to take Neoprints with the gals and Kenneth and Paul. Those who went included Tim, Huimin, Gerald, Yanleen, Hui Juan, Rachel, Charissa, Amanda, Shu, Kenneth, Paul and of course the birthday girl herself! Went to play pool after that...

Scores:
Paul 1 Me 1
Kenneth 1 Me 1

They won by hitting the black ball in the hole. I won when they hit the black ball into the hole at the wrong time. Haha. Lucky me.

Watched the first half of Fulham vs Man U while we were there. Fulham scored in the first few minutes?! Kenneth was like... What the??? Obviously a Man U supporter... He was cheering when Rooney scored that awesome goal. Haha.

Sunday was real fun. Helped out with the drinks when the Primary Schoolers were having NAPFA. Brought the dispensible water thingies downstairs and filled them up with water for the Primary schoolers to drink. Then did a bit of the standing broad jump. Improved my score by 10 cm? 245 now to be exact! I think I can beat most sportsmen in my school! =)

Scored once during PE. Haha. First goal in a long long time. And I was in the weaker team... Lost 3-1 though. We haven't been playing soccer for a long long time as well... You hafta have the desire to score a goal in order to get one. I haven't felt that adrenaline rush in a long time!

Hmm... Just some personal reflections now... Being satisfied is some sort of a curse yet a blessing. The more comfortable and open you become with your friends, the more likely something happens... Being satisfied with the friends you have now makes you lose focus. Makes you forget how to be thankful that they are your friends... I hafta keep checking myself in case I lose this... Something reminded me of that. Yup. See ya guys... I'll treasure you guys always! Haha.

K. One addition... Schedule for Sundays!

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!
