Shakugan

Since my exams ended on Thursday its been a whole mess of rushing around, especially with the leaders 2013 stuff being churned out for YE. There are a whole lot of other stuff that need to be done too, including meeting the J2s and also the assistant leaders... Ah well!

Got a look into the world of mixing whilst watching Pitch Perfect with Gihon and Vanessa! Well its the world in which Vanessa is in now, making songs using complex computer systems, and I'm glad I got to see a little glimpse of that. Vanessa herself is making amazing tunes and letting me hear them, and some of them are really really good!

Besides that, the other important thing was Jon's birthday celebration, which was today. I usually don't like much fanfare on birthdays (especially my own), but Jon does deserve to be applauded for the effort he puts into organizing Holland Cell activities, and my respect goes to him. Every time I see his work I'm reminded of superheroes working behind the scenes although they sometimes don't get the respect they're due. But he's done an amazing lot of stuff for the sake of the cell.

Lastly, I've finally taken the time to update my itunes, which now contains all the new anime songs of the anime that I've recently watched. Next on my anime list is Shakugan No Shana!


The introductory premise of this action anime is this: the main character, Sakai Yuji, because of a string of fortuitous events, finds out that he actually is dead right at the beginning of the anime. Why? Monsters called Tomogara eat the essence of human existence, causing the existence of some people to immediately disappear. How is Yuji still alive then? It's because of people like Shana, the red haired girl who appears before him, who are called Flame Haze, who create false existences called Torches (which Yuji is) to make sure the balance of the world isn't disrupted by the sudden disappearance of existence of a person. And this chance meeting leads to a whole chain of events that cause Yuji to be embroiled in the battle between Flame Haze and Tomogara.

Yup that's one big mouthful! And you gotta watch to understand. It was one of the really popular animes in Japan when it first came out!

And so, as ever, I'm busy! And as usual, I'll pull through. :)

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.
