Majin Tantei

Hi guys its been 2 months since the last post and that was how long I have been watching Major! With 6 seasons and some OVAs it took some time!

The Month of April was pretty good but May was when it started getting tough. Have a couple of tough clients to handle, as well as heightening work loads (8 days of duty in June). My office is in a mini crisis, with only one counter staff and 2 failing to turn up, and thus now we have to do counter duties as well which is a huge time sink and it is getting tougher to finish off cases. We'll have to see what we can do though. As a result the past 2 weeks have been exceptionally tiring at work and weekends have become very precious!

Glad that this week I finally got a chance to relax well! For the first in a very long time it's a full weekend to myself (in addition to dating Vanessa of course). Vanessa has finally gotten her braces in and she is now able to eat solid food, so we went for Monster Curry, something that she has always loved although now she can only handle the not so spicy version. Perhaps next time we can upgrade to level 1 spicyness. We bought a really interesting thing - the pop up pirate thingy from running man. I bought some macarons and we played for them using the pirate thingy; ended up losing 5 times out of 6. I only ate one in the end. =(

Ministry wise Vanessa just finished with the YE retreat and I'm proud of her for handling it well and leading the youth as the commandant. For myself, midweek was the music ministry core team meeting and I'm glad I handled the meeting well too!

On to my next anime - Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. It's a mystery anime 25 eps long with a paranormal aspect to it: the main detective is actually a devil with an appetite for mysteries. Quite an interesting premise and this makes for interesting dynamics between the main characters. Also finished an anime on the side - Saikano, which is a rather depressing anime on the effects of war and human modification. A couple are torn apart when one of them is made into a weapon of mass destruction and the anime records the process of her losing her humanity bit by bit and their struggle through it all. Sad.

Oh well until the next update!

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 ...

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,...

Have been engaging in a couple of new interesting hobbies to liven things up.  First off, chess of which I've started diving into to learn opening strategies and as part of that have started to watch official tournaments. Good way to stretch my thinking muscles. Second, watching netflix series in alphabetical order. Never know what interesting gems you uncover. I'm partway through stuff starting with the number 2, and its quite amazing how much you find about other cultures from this. Upcoming is a movie called 2 Weeks in Lagos, I think will be interesting cos I will get to learn more about Nigeria. I last watched a movie called 2 States which was about the clash in cultures between North and South India.   Third, watching soccer for the thrill and excitement. Letting this blog live up to its name.  Fourth, PS4. Finally finishing of Tales of Berseria and starting on Assassins Creed Origins soon.  Fifth, anime - the usual stuff I have never gone without since thi...
