Yakuza

Realized that I'd be more motivated to update my blog if I'd write down brief outlines of what I want to include in my posts, and also the content would be more interesting and more detailed! So that's what I hope to do with all my posts in the future!

So first exciting thing of the week was YE Camp venue recce, and I must say, those who are coming for the camp will love the venue! Won't spoil too much of it for you guys, and I'll let the publicity speak for itself! It was a pretty exciting first recce trip overseas for me, and went with Pastor William, Shuling, Shaunald and Deborah. Exploring the site was a good experience for me, as I was able to give my input and show them a few things I felt needed attention. I must say this will be one of the best camp sites in terms of space and bonding that I can anticipate, so look forward to it!

Next, the newest anime that I'm currently watching and have introduced to Van: Special A. In essence it's a romance + comedy anime about a group of seven elite students called the Special A, made up of the students who score the 7 highest scores in school. Specifically the Hanazono Hikari, a spunky girl who since young has been competing with a boy called Takishima Kei. They're second and first respectively within Special A, and this revolves around the comedy and romance surrounding both of them. Hikari is rather dense, and doesn't realize Kei's feelings for her. Interesting!


Daryl's about to go for his graduation ceremony, so have been following him around settling grad stuff (since he isn't allowed to drive alone for now). More about Daryl's driving: he can be safe when he wants to, but mostly he likes to do exciting stuff like rev the engine. His parking still needs work. But to all who are wondering how he drives, do sit the car while he's driving! There've been some brave souls, and they've survived so no worries!

Lastly, finally finished all the trophies for Dragon Age: Origins. The trophy that was the headache was to kill 1000 of the storyline monsters, the darkspawn. It's really buggy so had to delete the latest patch in order to get it to activate. But finally did it! So now... Playing a new game: Yakuza 4. Quite interesting, as I probably am going to take a General Education Module about Yakuza, Geisha and well known Japanese icons. Here's a pic.


You have to play as 4 main characters throughout the storyline, and it's about how these 4 men come together to protect the area of Kamurocho in their own way. Right now I'm only at the first character, a moneylender called Akiyama Shun who lends money with no interest and collateral, but with interesting terms and conditions. Not too sure about the entire storyline yet, but we'll see.

That's all for today!

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!
