Ghost In The Shell

11 posts to 600!

Well I'm almost done with Grande Valse Brilliante... Just a few bits of tying up to do, with portions on the 8th and 9th page still causing a bit of trouble here and there. But I think I can declare it finished within the week! This piece was certainly at a level higher than Raindrops, mostly because of the speed and the muscle memory involved, and the sheer length of it. But it was thoroughly enjoyable, allowing me to showcase part of my livelier side.

And shall move on to Chopin's Tristesse soon. Quite excited about that, which will be a stark contrast from the waltz that I just finished. Time to switch moods from playful to melancholy. Soon I'll be playing 3 pages of a song that Chopin himself labelled as the best melody he'd ever written.

Besides that I'm now halfway through Resonance of Fate, which is pretty slow. Being the perfectionist gamer that I am, made sure I got through every dungeon getting every item, finishing every quest and fighting every arena fight.

More on leisure: I'm now getting close to the 100 anime mark, so now I'm watching Ghost in the Shell, a futuristic anime where humans have learnt how to store their consciousness in cyber brains, allowing for the mechanization of their bodies. Its about a crime fighting team tackling all sorts of cyber crime that arise from this new development in technology. Pretty interesting I must say.


And here's Motoko Kusanagi, the main protagonist of this series.

Also I've now hit 10 pull ups and have been running 2.4km everyday in preparation for IPPT.

Lastly, yesterday signified the beginning of the second year of friendship for Vanessa and I, so went over to her place to spend the time with her in celebration of this day. 7th June 2010. You guys may be wondering why this day is so important, after all we've all got many friends, who we've known for many years without celebrating this kind of thing.

But this is special for both of us: the way that God brought us together was nothing short of amazing. Two like minded individuals with many things in common, able to understand each other amazingly well, brought together at a random BB GB junior camp which she might not even have turned up at. Its a happening that we both believe is God's wonderful grace for us. And since then life has never been the same. And I have to say, we've certainly brought each other closer to God throughout this year of friendship, and that is special for sure.

Looking from the start of the holidays till now, lots of things have advanced, and I'm certainly thankful for that. And there's only one person I can truly give thanks to. Thank you God. =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

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. 

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!
