Revolutionary

And so school has ended for this semester, and I'm pretty glad I've made it through in one piece. If there's one thing I've learnt this semester, is that seeking God and staying focused is never easy, but if you manage to do it, you'll feel all the closer to His presence. This semester has been tough, but even more so than the previous semesters, I've drawn closer to God and relied on Him. Exams are drawing near, and 2 out of 5 subjects have been studied already. Working hard on the rest. =)

As always, sorry for the lack of posts, have been studying and my schedule's been packed since the end of the term till today, and today marks the beginning of a whole stretch of free-ness that'll last till next year! So expect posts more often!

Have started on Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, the first of the difficult trio of songs that I'd like to try. This trio includes the above song, and his Heroic Polonaise and Fantasie Impomptu. All of them are amazingly hard, but since this Etude is the shortest, I'll start with this. The left hand for the song is very very fast. At least I'll finally get to train my left hand hmm.

Besides that, have also started watching Claymore! About girls needing to infuse themselve with power of beings called Yoma to defeat the Yoma themselves and save the towns from them. The story follows a girl named Claire as she enters into the organization of the Claymores. Its one of the more famous manga, ranking slightly below the big 3, fairy tail and tied with D Gray Man and Hunter X Hunter. Here's a pic:


That's Claire in the pic I believe. The anime is so named because each one of them has a Claymore, a Gaelic sword that they use to fight the Yoma.

Lastly, Os are over! Its time to date Vanessa! \(^O^)/ Its been 3 months since we've started dating officially so praise God for that!

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!
