Blow Wind Blow

Feeling a bit under the weather, but thank God for a strong immune system. The runny nose started just yesterday... But besides that no fever and cough unlike my bro. So in today's lessons, pretty much had to disrupt class by blowing my nose a couple of times.

I think I'll be alright. =D

Today's jap tutorial we played blow wind blow, jap style. Which shows how adept my command of Japanese is now. The tutorial was a blast, and we were all scampering around like little school kids haha. "Megane o kaketeiru hito!" and I'd have to go running to get a spot to sit haha. I'm really glad I've come this far in learning a third language, and I guess after this I should work on my fourth (sign language), which I've neglected since I've begun uni.

Lastly, have started on Kimi Ni Todoke... After the first episode I can tell that this specific anime will mean a lot to me. In the main character I already see myself in the past, in all my timidness and being left out. The journey to the opening up of her world is like my own... So really looking forward to watching more of it!

Besides that, watching GTO, another legendary anime that an anime buff simply can't miss. About an ex-gangster whose dream is to become Japan's best teacher, and his unorthodox ways of dealing with the students. The laughs are certainly great, but the main gist of it is living by the values that you've set up for yourself and never compromising on them. Which makes this another great anime to catch.


And so, I've also completed my cog psych paper and concert review. Only 2 submissions and 2 tests left. So on we go... 4 weeks to exams!

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 ...

Gamble

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,...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...
