Quest For The Secret Ramen!

Next post is post 300!

Family

Went to watch Harry Potter on friday with my parents at Jurong Point. The movie was fine... If I didn't read the book before I think I would have been less excited about the movie. One major problem was that the final action sequences didn't do justice to the book. There was a lot more happening, and the final action sequence only lasted 15 mins. That part was disappointing.
Well, can't wait for the last book! Those who want to borrow from me (yes, I've pre-ordered), please let me know.

So far the borrowing list is as such:

Daryl/Darren

My mom went off to Batam the day after the movie (yesterday morning), leaving the rest of us guys at home. Dad did most of the housework such as washing cups, folding clothes etc. He is quite the perfectionist haha. And of course, we ate out. Just one day in and I'm kinda missing the home cooked food.

Instead we had KFC in the afternoon, and Ajisen in the evening. Good, filling meals, but nothing compared to eating at home IMO. Wasn't allowed to share anything with Daryl, since he was sick. Wonder if he'll be ok today.

S03H

Civics was something I found pretty interesting... Emotional Intelligence. Mr Wong talked about "the emotion reflex arc", in which in certain situations, you tend to pre-judge people, and once a stimulus occurs, you will instantly react to what another person does to you. The whole reflex arc will occur in just 7 secs! And the key to good relationships is to control this reflex arc.

Over the years, I realise that I've controlled certain emotions well, but other emotions have been left neglected. In my younger days, it was greed, self-centeredness. In primary school it was sadness and grief. In secondary school it was anger. Without realising it had something to do with the reflex arc, I managed to suppress certain emotions.

But I realise I still have some emotions to work on. Hatred for example. Pride and loneliness are others that I need to keep in check. I will work on these, and be a better person!

The S03H guys went for a quest for the super secret ramen on Wednesday (which was quite a failure heh) and then for another quest for the imba gosu ramen on Friday (which was a resounding success). After failing the first time with a team of 4, we made a team of 5 and went for it the second time.

For more info, check out Leonard's blog http://www.genesis-sg.blogspot.com/, under the post [Quest for the Holy Ramen 3].

Some pics from the quest!

Woot I just got a membership card from my dad! So the next time we go we can nullify the service charge. Anytime you guys go on a ramen quest, let me know!

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!
