New Semester

Well I've taken rather long for a next post haven't I?

It's been one thing after another as usual, and its strange that now that my semester is starting it feels oddly relaxing to be back in school. Somehow there's this feeling about a school schedule that puts one at ease!

So the modules I'm taking are:

PL4221 Early Language Development
LAJ3205 Media Japanese
PL4880G Positive Psychology
PL4208 Intro to Counseling Psychology

Only 4 modules this semester, and thus a not very long 15 hours in school per week once tutorials kick in! For now I've also got a monday thursday break, and its pretty good! One day of break for an extra long weekend, and a midweek break to consolidate. The downside is a 6 hour lesson rush all through dinner from 3-9pm on friday.

Besides that, page 7 of the heroic polonaise is keeping me stuck... The running octaves are killer as usual. Besides that, have started playing Skyrim and so far enjoying it. Also, the latest anime is one called Dennou Coil, which is about children who become detectives of sorts who deal with augmented reality. Interesting spin on the advances of technology and the downsides and complications that come with it!

For YE, I'm as usual doing my best. Looking forward to what we can do for the people! We'll be going through a phase where leadership is scarce, and I've finally begun on the leader's mentoring sessions. Hopefully those who step up to leadership embrace it with joy, because through it they'll see God's hand in everything more and more! :)

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 ...

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!
