Cheer Up Guys!

Yoz... Soccer Module was fun today but I wasn't in the mood for it I guess. I didn't score anything and did nothing constructive to help my team at all.

Goal Tally: 8 goals in 12 games in 4 sessions

Wells, I guess seeing everyone so sad has made me kinda worried for everyone. The feeling of loss has already subsided for some, but in comes in a more powerful emotion, the emotion of sadness.

The first and youngest I ever felt extremely sad was when I was around 6, when my grandmother on my mums side died. She was a really nice person, and although my chinese was really lousy, and she spoke only chinese or dialect, we had a special bond that no one else knew. Until now, I'm really not sure what that bond was... Well, she passed away due to a haemorrhage in the brain after complications from a stroke. I saw her fight with death in the bed where she stayed in Bedok. At first I didn't understand what was going on. The concept of death was kinda foreign to me. To see her pass away with my very own eyes was really saddening. On the day of the funeral, my knees felt really week, and my mom had to bring me up to my grandmother's house to rest. There, I cried until there were no more tears. No one was beside me, and no one else knows this except me. I felt like all the sadness had all come out like a river. Thoughout the years, through the problems I faced, the rejections and scoldings I endured, I never felt sad again. Maybe I became kinda numb to it. Until now. Its a different kind of sadness now...

Wells, the sadness I felt the first time was that of grief. Now, the sadness i feel is rather different. The reason I'm sad is cause you guys are sad. So cheer up k? Then I'll cheer up too! Smile!

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

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
