Outings

Ok for this post it'll be about random stuff and pics from the YE outings I've had since the end of exams.
1. Prata

Ok I'm a prata noob who's only eaten egg and plain pratas before. The only exception was the noodle prata on the day of Take.5 though. Met Paul and Martin at Al Ameen, a prata house opposite Beauty World. Had my first taste of a banana prata. (Yes, noob I know.)

Got there pretty late cos I overshot the stop, and had to double back + walk.

2. Pool

I've been having lots of pool practice these days. Went for 2 pool sessions with Paul and Martin.
1st session near the prata store
Paul 2 Me 1
Martin 1 Me 0

2nd session at Bukit Timah Plaza

Paul 1 Me 1
Martin 1 Me 2

Those two sessions were pretty much warm up sessions after rusting up over the exam period. Didn't fare too well. Kept on conceding free balls. But right now I think I'm quite on form thanks to those pool sessions. (Well on form enough to play well with the S03H people)

Finally we played a who can pot the most balls game. I won that one, potting 17 balls out of a possible 45.

3. BBQ

Finally the one I have pics of. Reached Mel's house early to help start the fire. Didn't help much with the first pit, but I was the one who started the second one with Li En's help. Never did it before, and so wasted lots of firestarters.


Playground swings.

Went to swing a couple of times, and then came back to continue work on the fire. Then everyone started screaming and backing away from the sink area... The reason: A gigantic praying mantis. Caught it and let it move around on my hand for awhile, then set it free in a couple of bushes. Woot honestly I thought it was pretty cute but I'm one of those weird ones. Heres a pic.


Praying mantis. Why are you guys scared of it? It doesn't bite.

Soon the fire started, and Paul arrived with a pretty good sound system which he plugged in to the power source. Yup soon loud songs were playing. Wonder if we disturbed the neighbours.


Paul and his sound system.

We celebrated Audrey's birthday with a nice cake (which she took home). Aww man I wanted to eat it. Happy birthday to both Audrey and Jon.


Chocolate mint cake from Polar. One of the best cakes IMO.

After that went to play soccer with Saul, Shaun, Kenneth and Andrew. Soon Gerald came but by that time we headed back. The remaining time was spent on the swing, playing Munchkin Fu and watching the rest of the people playing double whacko.

To round up the day, most of us went to McDonalds at KAP for supper and that was it.

Well... Wonder how long the fun will last for me. NS looms over the horizon.

Next post: Grad Night. (I hope I get all my pics from random people by then.)

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!
