1 Year

Hi all, its been half a year since this blog was updated and I'm starting to understand the part it played in my life: an outlet of reflection and understanding my inner self. It seems that only through journaling do my inner most thoughts and emotions come to the forefront. Its high time I re-kindle that and so here I am. I just hope that I can sustain this despite work.

First off, just over the weekend I completed my IPPT, 63 points = Pass with incentive. Despite not training for my running I'm glad I managed to complete the run without stopping, albeit with a timing less than satisfactory - 13+ minutes. The surprising part is how even despite that I still managed to get 63 points. I suppose training with push up and sit ups have been useful! Very thankful to God for pulling me through that.

The other thing is that I've reached 1 year of service at my company, and I'm still very pleased and happy to be with the organization I'm at. June was very difficult, with church camp and also having to see 50+ clients during the month. It was the toughest month that I've had since I've joined and there were times where fatigue would just consume me. Part of this month I needed to deal with spillover from June, and I must say I haven't had enough rest. Partially because of church camp I had less days to do my mountain of work - 18 working days for 56 cases was an average of 3+ per day. Plus I had a couple of difficult clients that were taking my time and kept coming to see me in July. Well August is going to be better I hope!

More happy news is that Vanessa and I are headed to our 5th year of our relationship, and everything is great as usual! She's had to deal with my fatigue and she's a great support, and I've been helping support her in her decisions for her future. She's in a time of transition and figuring out what she wants to do with her life, and to be of help is an honour for me. I'm especially happy when I put that smile on her face when we meet, especially when she's been mulling over various problems.

Leisure! Ever since the start of the year I had to do lots of dropping stuff - I'm no longer running or playing the piano, regrettably. But anime is one thing that helps me relax so I'm still going for that. Watching Moyashimon now, which is a rather interesting anime about a Agricultural College student who can see microbes as cute little emoji look-a-like thingies. Quite educational, as it teaches about the kinds of micro-organisms that can be found around your home and are important in daily life!

Hope I keep up the habit of blogging again (although I can't guarantee that I can do so). Shall try my best!

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!
