Truly Asia...

Well time for my post on KL!

It was a whole lot of firsts for me, and travelling with my friends from Navigators made the whole experience a really meaningful and enjoyable one. For one I was able to hear lots of their own experiences when it came to their church live and leading others, and also their own doubts and worries. And I really look forward to continuing to encourage them and let them encourage me as we all go about our uni lives with God in control.

I went there still remembering the trauma of past experiences in Malaysia, the time when my family's MPV was stolen at one of the Juscos in Malaysia... And 10 of us had to squeeze into an old, small, Mercedes Benz with a faulty aircon. That was certainly an upsetting experience, and since then I've harboured ill feelings towards Malaysia as a country. It was a time to be rid of those negative biases and truly learn to love even a place that hurt me so badly.

We went to a whole lot of different places and here's a list:
1. Chinatown - Petaling Street
2. Central Market
3. St John's Church
4. Bukit Nanas Eco Park
5. KL/Menara Tower
6. Bukit Bintang Shopping District
7. Merdeka Stadium (outside only)
8. KL Old Railway Station
9. Malaysia Police Museum
10. Deer Park (outside only)
11. Bird Park (outside only)
12. Hibiscus Park
13. Suria KLCC
14. Aquaria KLCC
15. Petronas Gallery
16. Batu Caves
17. Templer Park
18. Petronas Twin Towers

Quite a large number of places for 4 days, but totally worthwhile. We spent quite a bit on good food, entrance fees and stuff for our families and friends. For me the trip cost 400 sing dollars, but it could've been considerably less.

All in all, I'm grateful for God's provision during this trip, it couldn't have been possible without Him. =)

Here are some pics!


We took a train down. =D


Not forgetting the most important person during our trip: Jesus!


Malaysia's National Flower: The Hibiscus!


Finally, the iconic Petronas Twin Towers.

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!
