Initial D

This week has been pretty tough in some ways, with a very draining day on wednesday to top things off, with lessons stretching from 10am to 6pm, then tuition from 7pm to 9pm, thus giving a rather tedious 11 hour work day. I was rather fatigued on that day, and if not for Vanessa would've been even more weary. Her advice and hearing ear seems all the more powerful now that we're together.

Getting used to the rhythm of juggling school and work, and now with the new car its been made easier, and there's the general sense that if I didn't have the car, things would've been worse. And I come to a realization that everything that is happening now is put in place just at the right time, for my life to advance. With a car, tuition, the things I'm learning in class, and Vanessa too, everything just comes together efficaciously. And with that I can see God working through it.

I've long wondered how I'll be able to keep my passion for God burning even in uni, seeing some Christian friends I know get lax and lose sight of God, and I've found out that there's no reason to worry or even think about it, for God works for the good of all those who love Him.

Well have started on some new leisure activities: the first being Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. And the second, because of my car, being the watching of Initial D the anime. It really gets me excited to drive most of the time haha. No drifting for sure though, cos my car's auto transmission hehe.

Well the anime's about a young 18 year old driver named Takumi Fujiwara who helps his dad out by delivering tofu in the dead of night on the winding mountain roads of Akina, and in so doing inevitably learns drifting, and all the essential skills and basics to be a road racer. He does so illegally before he gets his license, starting to help his dad from the age of 13, which explains his great skill. =O Eventually he's challenged to a road race, and despite being new to it, beats one of the best drivers and shoots to fame. That's the gist of it. =)

Here's a pic:



Yup that's Takumi and the car he drives: the panda black and white AE86 Toyota Trueno. Oh another thing to note: in the live action movie Jay Chou acts as Takumi hmm.

Well, tutorials begin next week, and after bidding I've gotten an alternate week monday friday free schedule, so every 2 weeks my weekend will be 5 days long, and my work weeks will be 4 days long, which is a great bonus!

As I slowly learn new stuff, I'll update you guys on what I've learnt. But for now I'll leave you in suspense! =)

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.
