Heroic

On to the final Chopin song that I definitely wanna play: Op 53, Heroic Polonaise! It's gonna be another challenge, tougher than the Fantasie Impromptu for sure! Now that I've gotten the hang of the Fantasie Impromptu, shall spend the time improving it whilst I practice the new song. So far the beginning of it doesn't seem too tough, but the tough part is at the end where the LH plays running octaves... It's gonna be a mega tiring song to master but it sound really majestic! Ever since beginning my exploration of Chopin's pieces, I've always wondered when I'd finish the list of songs that I wanted to learn, and it's about to be completed! With that I'll have a whole repertoire of 8 Chopin's songs I can present to others! :)

Well as part of being accountable to everyone, I must admit that my QT as of late has been... Late. Haha well since there's so much to do in a day, Van and I usually start QT extremely late, leading to fatigue and some incidents of accidental falling asleep. I suppose we've got to start being more focused in our QTs... As a Christian couple, one thing that I believe is that before you can get a relationship right and God centered, your own life has to be God centered, and that's what we need for now, a renewal of focus! And do pray for us for that! Thank you very much!

B1G concluded last saturday, and I must say it was a pretty tiring experience. I've never been that drained from a conference, and I suppose my stamina is not what it was. The time spent there was definitely refreshing, and a big reminder of God's realness in my life. For one, many thing the speakers shared resonated with my previous experiences, and its always a good reminder of how other like minded Christians like yourself also do go through moments of brokeness and anguish, and how you recovered your faith just like they did shows how real a God we have! It was a great reminder of those times, and through that I was truly blessed. St James Church in a way does feel like a second church to me some how, and I suppose that's because its where the one who inspired me towards change came from, giving me a second, transformed life that fateful day 8 years ago. Another reminder of the realness of God in my life. =)

Tomorrow will be watching Hotel Transylvania with Van, and its a movie we've both anticipated for awhile! Exciting! :D

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!
