Ok.

Hey guys! Uhh. Lets start with soccer!

Liverpool 2 Boro 0
Birmingham 1 Fulham 0
Blackburn 3 West Ham 2
Bolton 1 Aston Villa 1
Charlton 2 Sunderland 0
Chelsea 1 Wigan 0
West Brom 2 Man City 0
Newcastle 1 Arsenal 0
Man U 1 Everton 1
Tottenham 3 Portsmouth 1

There you have it. Looks like Arsenal aren't going to make it, and Wigan and West Ham, who started strong, are beginning to stumble. Liverpool's getting real good. 10 clean sheets. Char will be happy I guess!

Thursday... Went to return guitars, and then when to Guoren's house for a short acoustic jamming session and to listen to two of his songs he's written for the band. Nice. One rock and one pop-rock. Arrangement is good. Probably would be catchy enough for audiences if they can catch the lyrics. Did a bit of touch up on his singing voice, theres always a tendency for us guys to go out of tune in the high, low or accented parts. I have a cool bass run to play in the intro for the rock song. Yay.

Saturday... Well. At Rong Chang's and Doreen's wedding. The food was nice. Haha. I tell you guys what I was thinking after the wedding. Hmmm... Being in YE and all, I feel that theres a large large chance there'll be more such inter-COGS weddings in about less than 10 years time? Thats my prediction. Uhhh... I don't know if I should say this but... Never mind. Haha.

Sunday. Dancing was kinda tiring. But we mastered the first dance! Great sense of accomplishment. But, looking at the other dances... Hopefully I'll be able to do them as well. Doesn't look as easy.

I admit. I donated about $10 to the Cambodia people by buying ice cream. Hope it helps you guys...

Went for pool with my bros and Des on Sat and Sun. Saturday's games were ok... Good fun. But Sunday was the day when I was on firey form. It was me versus my dad in the first game. He broke, and I stormed to a 4 ball lead, taking the 9, 10, 13, and 11 balls consecutively. My dad shot the 3 ball in, and I continued by taking the 3 remaining balls, and lining a near perfect ball for myself to pocket. I hit the shot, and the black went in. But the white ball did as well. Bummer. So much for the perfect match. But now I know what I'm capable of when I'm really focused. Haha. Anyone game for pool?

Finally. One official announcement for ALL who know me. Yes. That means you. That includes my relatives, RI friends, RIGE people and of course my JPS buds.

Please come down to Paragon on the 23rd of December, at 8pm to support us COGS people and watch our performances all the way to 9:30pm. It'll be a blast, I promise. There'll be dances, skits etc. Come see please!!!

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!
