New Year!

Chinese New Year update! Three main things during chinese new year...

Dad's side visitation. Actually it wasn't that much of a 'visitation'. More like go to my grandparent's house that kinda thing. Since all my cousins and uncles on my dad's side go there, all we have to do is go there and collect all the Ang Pows without having to visit a seperate house. So it was pretty cool. As usual all my cousins were dressed in their new clothes, and since most of them are around my age we talked a bit and played a bit of Mahjong and Jim Rummy. Got super demoralised after I lost about 10 bucks in Jim Rummy, but managed to win 8 bucks back by the end of the night. So yeah, the total losses were $1.80.

Church! Went there to do ushering after visiting my dad's side relatives. My dad had a new job for me and Grace. Haha. Pass out the offering bags and click some clicker thingy to take the attendance. The clicker thing was pretty fun actually. Haha. Not many people went, but it was lively enough... Headed back to my grandparent's house for more gambling...

Mom's side visitation. Had to travel to a total of 4 houses. My first aunt's place, second aunt's place, my godpa's place and third uncle's. You know what? My mom has 10 siblings. So we were pretty lucky that most of them came to my first aunt's place. Otherwise... Haha. It would have taken till midnight at the rate we were going. Saw many long lost cousins and all those nephews of mine who are older than me. You guys remember Jomel, my cousin who went to YE? Yup she was there, but dunno about her guitar skills ever since she stopped lessons. Haha.

Went back to my dad's side, where everyone gambled like crazy. Haha. My bros included. So I won lots and lots by playing Mahjong, another $8 to be exact, but lost $2 on Jim Rummy yet again. Total losses... Approximately 4 bucks! Big dip from last year... Sigh. Haha. Well, so thats how my Chinese New Year was spent. Not much really.

Haven't counted my CNY money. Haha. This week was quite crazy and fun, update you guys more about it later! Yup. Maybe after YE on Sunday.

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,...

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.
