Bliss

Well, a big welcome to the year 2012, a brand new year waiting to be explored. The year 2011 went by in a flash... It felt like a bullet train going past, with the busyness in YE, dating and school stuff making it go rather quick!

If there's one word to describe 2011, it would be 'bliss'. Being with Vanessa and getting to know her contributed to much of that, and am looking forward to spending many more years with her. There are many things that happened this year, but all pale in comparison to finally being a couple with her. Its a big responsibility, and I now believe that I'm in a good capacity to care for someone else, not only emotionally and physically, but spiritually as well.

Its been rather uneventful for a typical year for me, but oh wells I enjoyed it while I could. In this new year, I'm going to continue striving towards maintaining my spiritual fervor, which I realize is beginning to diminish with age. The relationship with God is there, but is starting to grow numb. I used to be able to hear God's voice each and everyday, but its becoming more sporadic as the days pass. Revival is needed, and I'm still praying for it.

Besides that, its time for me to pass on what I've learnt to the younger generations, grooming them to love and serve God with all their heart, mind, strength and soul, just as I did and I'm now doing. That'll be my motivation for the new year. As for my personal goals, shall continue working on my list at the sidebar of my blog.

So on to other random stuff I've been doing. GTA4 completion is at 87% completion, I'm still stuck at the first page of Chopin's Revolutionary Etude, I'm currently watching Yugioh Zexal and ep 35 of Running Man. As for my story, now working on chapter 13 of it. Bidding is occurring now, but I've been allocated 3 modules already so it isn't much pressure. So far what I'm hoping to take are:

Japanese 3
Adolescent Psychology - good for helping YE I hope!
Industrial and Organizational Psychology
Personality and Individual Differences

Oh oh and my results for the previous semester: an A- for stats, B+ for social, developmental psych and food & health, and a B- for abnormal psych. This brings my overall CAP to 4.17, decent and respectable!

On this note, a happy 2012 to everybody, and stay tuned here for more posts. Its my 7th year or so of blogging, and this'll go on for sure. =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 ...

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...

Aikatsu

Have been engaging in a couple of new interesting hobbies to liven things up.  First off, chess of which I've started diving into to learn opening strategies and as part of that have started to watch official tournaments. Good way to stretch my thinking muscles. Second, watching netflix series in alphabetical order. Never know what interesting gems you uncover. I'm partway through stuff starting with the number 2, and its quite amazing how much you find about other cultures from this. Upcoming is a movie called 2 Weeks in Lagos, I think will be interesting cos I will get to learn more about Nigeria. I last watched a movie called 2 States which was about the clash in cultures between North and South India.   Third, watching soccer for the thrill and excitement. Letting this blog live up to its name.  Fourth, PS4. Finally finishing of Tales of Berseria and starting on Assassins Creed Origins soon.  Fifth, anime - the usual stuff I have never gone without since thi...
