Sports Day

And so its been more than 2 weeks since I last blogged! Its been rather busy, and I thought this semester was going to be more relaxed. In fact, my first " graded submission" of sorts is already next monday, and its a presentation about a journal article which constitutes 12.5% of the grade. It'll only get busier, but I think its still alright!

So far the tough courses are by two core modules, my lab in cognitive psych and cognitive neuroscience, and surprisingly, my General Education Module on Chinese Heritage is proving to be rather heavy in terms of workload. The best module by far is Forensic Science, its quite relaxed, has no tutorials, and has little workload, so I'm thankful for that. I'm enjoying my Japanese classes too, learning new forms to use! Hoping that this semester I'll keep my faith strong and my heart focused!

So on Saturday was Gihon Sports Day, and the turnout was pretty good with 8 people turning up! We played badminton, pool, and watched a movie. I'm glad that Gihon now has a really good cell culture, and its thanks to the contribution of all the members to create this culture. Even the young ones relate to the older ones like brothers and sisters, and I'm glad for this level of relationship and fellowship. When I first started out on Gihon, this is what I hoped to achieve, but now on the next level more work needs to be done, and I'm looking forward to it!

Well, its also been one year since Vanessa and I started officially dating, and God has brought us through much, and is always reminding us to keep Him the center! We've been rather successful except some lapses, and I'm looking forward to more years with her! She's progressed much in finding her own true self in the time we were together, and I'm glad I could play a part in that. I do believe I'm doing my utmost as a Godly mate for her, and I'd like to keep it this way. Our dear friends, please continue to support and keep us accountable on this journey!

Lastly, I've started watching one of the oldest sentai anime: Saint Seiya! It's about a group of people called Saints who save the world from evil and go on a quest against the evil Arles to quash his evil ruling of the Saint Community. It is mega old school (some of their costumes are hilarious), and predictable, but enjoyable! Brought me back to the days of Power Rangers haha!

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!
