WC 2010

Well for the weekend I was given pretty much a lot of reponsibility. With my mom and grandma in Vietnam and my dad taking care of my grandpa, I've been tasked to take care of the twins, although they don't actually need a lot of my guidance when it comes to eating, bathing, sleeping and such. Just buying the meals, driving them around, and looking after the car. Reluctant to go for outings because of that... Sorry Jon.

Haha and then now its my turn to take care of my grandpa, so I'm with him at my grandparents place, just chilling, using my aunt's laptop (she's in Vietnam too), and just pretty much keeping him company. My dad has flown off for work for 2 days, and the twins are alone at home, but they'll manage haha.

I know it seems simple and stuff, but this is pretty much the first time this much reponsibility has been thrust in my hands. I enjoy it, but at the same time its pretty daunting. After all, after God family is my main priority, and to be given such a big role in it is amazing. So this is what being 21 is all about: mega big responisibility.

World cup ends... Spain are champions! But like a true neutral, I'm rueing what the sport has come to. The first half was filled with players hacking at each others legs. The second half was a little more exciting, but the hacking never stopped. To a fan supporting either side, I'm sure they must have been angry at the referee (and players of the opposing team), but I think he did an amazing job in a match that was so rough. So for this world cup as a neutral, I'll give the kudos to New Zealand! The only country not to lose in this world cup. 2 1-1 draws and 1 0-0 draw as one of the lowest ranked sides in the competition is great.

And so Mueller gets the golden boot for 5 goals 3 assists. Congrats to him, he's deserved it. And congrats to Paul the octopus for his predictions being right. Well in terms of probability and mathematics, the probability of him getting all the 7 matches right is 1/128 (half to the power of 7), which is a whole lot easier than striking 4D, which loads of Singaporeans can do anyways. Well the logic behind the comparison is flawed, but who cares haha. Paul just isn't psychic all you mislead people!!! Pardon the randomness.

The world cup comes to an end. Need more sleep.

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

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
