I guess everything is returning to normal, as everything is now over finally. No more going home late, no more having dinners outside. I guess it takes some getting used to. But I'm so glad its over.

Recieved feedback that we did considerably well, especially for our last two songs. Today was Raffles Rock Elections. Actually maybe not. Its Raffles Rock PAP style walkover. There were only 6 people running for 5 positions, and I was the only one not from the exco there. Went down after doing GP essay to see what was happening, only to find out the exco had already been finalised.

Hahahaha. Chairman is none other than Samuel Lim, Vice-Chair is Jia Hua, Secretary is Lim Wei Ren, Treasurer is Gabriel and QM is MOCA. Congrats to everyone! Wish me luck for RJGE Exco. Hope to use this oppotunity to bridge relations between RJGE and RR.

Went to Swensens with Gabriel, Samuel Lim and Choon Wing to celebrate lots of stuff... Such as the Raffles Rock thing as well as Samuel's birthday that passed last week. Had lots of laughs. We ordered like 3 topless 5s to eat. We were having this funny convo...

Choon Wing: Hey guys lets go for rock climbing!
Me: Ehh... Why?
Choon Wing: Cos you wanna go rock outing what...
Me:...
Gab: Yo Sam, you know what?
Sam: Err what?
Gab: You've become a rocking chair! Hahaha.
Me: Ehh... Why you guys so lame one tell this kind of jokes...
Gab & Choon Wing: Lol you told us these jokes in the first place!
Me: O_o Oops jagggg.....

Actually it wasn't exactly like that. Just wanted to make it funnier. Hahaha.

Monday went for RJGE exco interviews. It was kinda fun cos we spent our time playing bridge/hearts outside the com labs. When it was my turn I went into room A, which contained Ronnie, Hongyue, Elaine, Serene and Yueyi. They asked me to play anything I wanted, then sight read a passage. Then they asked me about the classic RR vs RJGE thing. I knew what to say though. Other than that question no other things really intimidated me. And so I got through interviews. =) Time for speech! Its tomorrow...

Sunday was really the best main service I've had all year. Playing the bass didn't stop me from worshipping. All the songs were pretty much familiar so I didn't rely on scores. I just sang my heart out to him while playing. And Still finally made a comeback after less than 1 year. That was the best song of the lot.

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still know you are God

Liverpool 2 Chelsea 1!!! =) What else can I say.

Lastly, some commentary on social issues. Would like to talk about the MM vs journalists seminar thing that was on channel news asia. I think the reason why people don't apologize for what they do is cos even if they do apologize, they still wouldn't be forgiven.

Some people nowadays aren't forgiving enough. When people make mistakes and apologize for those mistakes they just chide them for what they did wrong instead of accepting the apology. These people that have been roughly brushed aside will think... Is this what I get for being sincerely apologetic. If so I'd rather not apologize. Hence this unapologetic mentality amongst Singaporeans today.

Why can't people just learn to forgive and get on with life? I just don't get it.

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!
