YOG

Have thoroughly enjoyed the coverage of YOG so far, with Singapore doing pretty well. I think the anchors of the 11pm broadcast have been doing a great job! Proud of our youngsters who've done all they can to make Singapore champions.

BPL has started once again, and watching the various replays of matches I've seen how mistakes by goalkeepers can just make or break a team. And heroics by some of them will save a club from defeat. Take Joe Hart for Man City. Loads of saves meant that Man City survived an onslaught on their goal from the imperious Tottenham offense in their 0-0 draw.

Here are the results:
Tottenham 0 Man City 0
Blackburn 1 Everton 0
Aston Villa 3 West Ham 0
Bolton 0 Fulham 0
Sunderland 2 Birmingham 2
Wolves 2 Stoke 1
Wigan 0 Blackpool 4
Chelsea 6 West Brom 0
Liverpool 1 Arsenal 1
Man U 3 Newcastle 0

Another point of note was Blackpool's 4-0 defeat of Wigan. Though they were expected to be one of the weaker sides in the league they've managed to win in magnificent style and now lie 2nd in the table by goal difference. Underdog supporters everywhere are probably grinning from ear to ear.

On a different note, God has really blessed me in lots of different ways... I expected to not get used to studying so quickly, but just today I felt like I've been doing it for quite a long time already... Also I've gotten majority of the tutorial slots I wanted, and though my schedule looks pretty tight for this semester, I've still been able to cope with the readings and workload and things like that. In fact I'm pretty much ahead in reading the material given, as much as a week ahead. Its pretty amazing for someone who hasn't studied in a long time, and I don't think its just me who's working on this. God's working with me too.

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.
