Level Up!

Well... Good news good news! Ben Low is now a Lance Corporal! Although its actually no biggie I'm actually glad my rank has been upped. Kinda feels like you've completed a quest or something. So I've added something to my to do list for the week.

Reminders to self:
Top up BBDC account
Start asking people out
Cooking
Go learn more sign language
Get lots of snacks and bring guitar into camp
Get new PSP memory card
Sew on IPPT and Rank on No.4

Yup so my first duty officially ended today. Its been great. Especially the weekends where we got to do anything that we wanted. Over the week quite a few exciting things happened... Such as the sergeants moving to our bunk, a new set of UIP signallers coming in, playing soccer, playing PSP, doing the laundry, AHM Briefing, watching Blood+ on the company comp, singing and playing songs to God at the balcony etc etc.

Off count: 4.5
Leave count: 7
Total rest days: 11.5

Excited about this coming weekend and the next duty weekend. Lots of interesting things are now happening. I'm a bit dizzy cos of it all but its a good thing I guess.

Schedule:
Thurs - Gym, BBDC, Lot 1, Cooking at home
Fri - Run, Meet Marcus, Meet Andrew
Sat - Gym, Sign Lang, prep no.4, worship prac/synthesis?, soccer!!!
Sun - AHM, worship prac, church, grandma's house
Mon - Gym, Prep for book in: print chords, get snacks, draw $$, anime spree

Pardon me... Cos from now on I'm gonna be using the blog to do a little bit of scheduling and management on top of all the reflections and stuff like that.

Besides that... EPL!

Arsenal 1 West Brom 0
Bolton 3 Stoke 1
Everton 2 Blackburn 3
Hull 2 Fulham 1
Middlesbrough 2 Tottenham 1
West Ham 2 Wigan 1
Sunderland 0 Liverpool 1
Chelsea 4 Portsmouth 0
Man U 1 Newcastle 1

The draw between Man U and Newcastle wasn't expected... And Hull, Boro and Blackburn surprised IMO. Go Hull! Underdogs rock.

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!
