Utter Respect

Utter respect. For the strength, integrity and resilience of the Japanese people even in the midst of all the happenings. For manga and anime followers like me it was expected for all of it to be put on halt... But the fact that manga and anime continue to be churned out by the hardworking authors, animators and publishers are a true testament to the resilience of the Japanese. I'll never look at them in the same light again.

Went for my Japanese Studies lecture and heard about the family situation of the lecturer's family, with some of his wife's relatives still missing, and others safe and sound. Could really hear the pain in his voice. And in some of my friends too. I may not understand the situation full well, but my support and prayers are with all of them, its the least I could do for such a great people.

On personal matters... Cognitive Psych paper is going well, just one para left and biblio to do. Just concerned that there's not enough content to explain the concepts effectively. A two page paper is really not enough to treat the topic in a proper light. However, all I can do is trust.

Speaking of trust, today was really expecting a very very tough day, but in my prayers just committed everything to God, and I suppose letting go really helps you enjoy the little blessings... My bio psych tut classmates giving out sweets (which I really needed for keeping awake) for answering questions to name an example. Really thankful for that.

Oh well this day will be long but I'll be alright. Later. =D

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...
