Ninja Scroll

Hi all, as promised am back! And I figured it would be easy to tag my blogging to the end of watching an anime series, and that is working out so far!

Just finished Ninja Scroll, an action anime about how a wandering ninja (who seems more like a samurai) is thrust into sudden peril when he enters a village, only to find all its inhabitants being hunted down by a group of ninjas who are after a girl in the village. As they journey on they discover the secrets about her identity and face multiple strange assassins until the girl comes face to face with a final choice whether to accept her "destiny" or throw it away in favour of living a normal life. 13 eps only so short one!

My life is taking a great turn and all things are working towards drawing me closer to God. For one, Thursdays at 8am I'm attending a prayer group at my workplace, and through it feel revitalized as I commit all my cares to God. I appreciate how my colleagues and I are trying to breathe life into each other through prayer and encouragement. Another wonderful thing has to do with my care group at church and we're having serious discussions on how to improve in the new year, with many of them renewing their commitments in the new year yesterday when we met. I believe that good things are in store!

Final thing is that today will be rather exciting with a room escape planned for Team A. My intentions are for all of us to share about ourselves because although we know each other, I would like all of us to know about each other at a more intimate level so we know what to pray and encourage each other with,

Ok until the next post!

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...
