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 ...

Gamble

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,...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...
