18 and 8 days old

Happy birthday mom! Hope you liked the Ajisen dinner we went for. And thanks Gerald for buying that cheese cake for my mom. She liked it a lot. I think she's gonna make lots more yummy stuff for you to eat in future.

Well, I'm 18 now... So went clubbing to just get the general feel of things. Some of you guys may have gasped... But I assure you that I didn't drink, and I just went to see something new! I'll never go again though, its not my cup of tea.


So some of of us went down to the Butter Factory, which is quite a small club. Me, Rach, Gerald, Paul and his gf. Nothing much to do there except see people dance (well they at least try to) and look at all the strobe lights whirling around and stuff like that. Jon and Eugene joined us later after booking out of camp for the nat day holidays.


The thing that surprised me was that there was a small region in Singapore just dedicated to clubs. All the hoo-hah about Singapore being a conservative society isn't totally true after all. It was something I'd never expected or seen before. The architecture's very good! Here are some pics.




Beautiful Fountain!





The shelter above us... Nice!

One thing that amused me was the themed clubs. One example is Clinic, which is a club made to look like a hospital. In the inside, its all hospital beds and wheelchairs for seats. And the inside is decorated just like a mortuary with all the metal chambers for storing dead bodies. Yeah that kinda thing.

S03H

The day before that there was the national day celebrations in school. Ate lunch in the canteen, then joined the guys for a round of Mahjong at A64. Didn't win many games though. Hmm Leonard How joined me, BenZ, Leonard Loh, Kevin, Chris and Sam from S03H, and we played for quite some time. BenZ kept on winning lol.

Soon it was 5:30pm, and most of us guys went down to get the food for the class. Some of the S03H people sat above the mini-canteen. It was a really nice feeling sitting there actually. Looking at the sky and enjoying the food and company, with music in the distance and singing along to all the familiar songs.

The concert was ok. It was good, entertaining fun. MR got third. BW and BB tied for first. Quite sad. In all my years as a Morrison or MR member my house has never won.


Haha never mind. On to the good stuff. I've finally found a scholarship that's actually useful in my case. The PSC Open-Med Local Scholarship. Registration opens 1st September, and I'm very excited about applying. But I think I'd better do a bit of research into it first. Wish me all the best!

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!
