Happy CNY!

Yoz everyone! My mom baked lots of CNY goodies and I'm gonna bring some to YE! Haha. Her biscuits are really good! I realised that I forgot to update the EPL scores... Well, all of you guys should have known the results of the matches on Tuesday and Wednesday, so I'll skip it this time.

Helped Mrs Phang with checking oranges. She kinda caught me loitering around the canteen and asked me, Chin Heng, Yu Sheng and Samuel to do the orange checking thingy. Did at least 7 boxes of oranges before we finished. Mrs Phang treated us to an orange, which nobody dared to eat. Found some bad ones, and threw them away. Actually I proposed do leave the bad ones in so that we would have a break from lessons... Haha. But we didn't. We're not so bad lah.

There are a lot more people suffering out there besides from us. And they're suffering in a worse way than us. Watched Hotel Rwanda for CLE. Its about a hotel manager in a country called Rwanda, who leaves the hotel open as a refugee hideaway when civil war starts to occur between two tribes of people following the death of the president of Rwanda. The Hutu and Tutsi. The names sound weird. Its kinda sad to see the way people can kill each other because of hatred. Its even more sad to see people suffer in silence and do nothing to help. At least some of them survived. And what did the UN do to stop the fighting? Nothing. Makes me kinda doubt the power of the UN... As people of the world, we should help those who are suffering, right?

My station for the orientation station games will be at the RJC library steps. Haha. The steps kinda remind me of a certain fairy tale, so I'm gonna make the groups act it out. I'll get Jeremy to take photos too. Haha. I sound so evil. Hahaha... Never mind. As long as it makes them laugh and bond with each other...

Happy Chinese New Year!

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,...

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 ...

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...
