L.A Noire

After 2 weeks of not posting I'm finally back! I admit it has been rather difficult, mostly because of juggling my work and being with Van with my personal to do list which includes anime, piano and running or ps3-ing. Wonder if I should decrease the number of things to do in my to do list per day hmm...

Well, the past 2 weeks have gone by well! Updates on my paper is that I managed to get it finished 3 days before the deadline, and the presentation passed by very well comparatively to other groups. For my group we got grilled considerably much less, and for that I'm rather thankful! Continuing with academics had my first mid term test last week on thursday on Chinese Heritage, which was rather doable considering the vast scope it could've covered. So 3 more important deadlines have passed agreeably!

For now its recess week! And I'm looking forward first to my Japanese "project" of having to show students from Waseda University around NUS on this friday, and next to having cell with Gihon on saturday. Plus that, I'll also have dates with Van of course, who is ending her job on wednesday. Besides that tuition with Amos, perhaps along the course of the week if he needs them. There might also be a bible study leaders meeting. In a way its great to see the YE comm start work on meetings again, and I can't wait to get things started again.

Turning to leisure, I've finished Yakuza 4 and I'm starting on a new PS3 game: LA Noire! Its the genre which I appreciate very much: mystery and puzzles in a world roaming format. Just think GTA without excessive killing, with the main character being a detective instead of a vigilante. Very much enjoying it! Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu is proving very difficult, and I've only made it to one and a half pages so far.

I remember the past 3 or so days each having a really unfortunate incident that I was disappointed about, but surprisingly I can't recall much of the happenings on thursday and friday. I suppose I am pretty optimistic hmm. For yesterday though it was a happy occasion marking Juan and Nick's wedding, and my first visit to a Japanese cultural festival at Waseda High School, after YE I found out that I'd left my headlights on all the way from 930am to 7pm... And the battery was drained. That was really deflating after such a good day hmm.

Well, I need this coming week to catch up with sleep so catch you guys some time. We'll see when I get to update my blog!

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.
