Ok... So it doesn't look that busy compared to some people. But I've been spending more time doing all these things instead of blogging. Once I'm tired, or doing pw, or reading messages, or doing tutorials, I'll not blog since blogging takes up a large portion of time. Which explains the long break.

Ok I'll give you guys more to read then...

Friday was kinda like a series of unfortunate events day haha.

First event came during PE, while we were playing Frisbee. The second match we were trailing 1-0, when one really excited guy who was marking me became overly zealous in trying to grab the Frisbee off me. And guess what. His flailing hands whacked me in the face. And my glasses broke in half. Specifically, the left lens broke in half. Yeah he apologized and I said never mind, but I wasn't really happy. One thing was that I couldn't contribute to my team any more, the other was that I'd have to go half-blind for a few weeks.

On retrospect, being half-blind isn't that bad after all. Tell you guys why later.

Second event was after school. I had makeup bio prac for the potato thingies with class 3A? The class contained some familiar faces... Hung Wen from guitar, Pan Deng from ex 4B and Wei Ren from ex 2E. Ok. Did I tell you guys I was half-blind? Yeah I think I did. Cos I couldn't see anything on the transparency, and had to keep on asking Wei Ren what was on the slide. Whats more, we had to use a borer thingy to cut potato cylinders, and there was once I missed (you guys should know why). And I ended up with wet potato on my shirt. Grrr...

Third event came later on the way home. I was on the 157, sleeping (sweating as well, cos it was really hot) when suddenly the bus decided to come to a halt. The bus driver started the bus again, and it stalled after the bus had moved a few meters. This happened quite a few more times, until the bus driver gave up. So... I found myself in the middle of Bukit Batok wondering about how to get home. The place was kinda familiar... Near Keming Primary. So, being my half-blind self, I ended up mixing up the road names and going the long way back home. GRRR...

Saturday as usual was slack/sleep/chiong tutorial day, Sunday as usual was an awesome YE day. Good food from Aunty Elma... *Drools* Which reminds me. I've gotta do the August Roster soon. Hmm I know Mel needs a rest, anyone else? Tag the board please if you do... Lazy/Too busy to send out mail. =P

Monday was the first time in a long time I spent my entire day half-blind. It was pretty interesting. I actually had to stare real hard at people to see whether I knew them. So I probably freaked out a few guys (who probably thought I was gay) and a few girls (who probably thought I was attracted to them).

Apologies to those I missed or didn't say hi to. Hopefully I didn't miss anyone while I was walking around half-blind. The answer to two FAQs during this period of time (till 1st aug): No I'm not wearing contacts. And yes, thats why I didn't wave to you initially.

I've realized something. "Being half-blind makes you focus less on the way you're going, but more on those who pass by the same road you go down." And I think its an awesome quote (created by yours truly =P). Applies to life as a whole as well. Don't you find it true?

When you have no idea what you wanna do/achieve you look less towards the future and more at those who are around you, either guiding you through, or those who just fleetingly pass you by. In other words, you take more notice of your friends and acquaintances. Right?

Being half-blind was pretty good for me. Made me pay attention to things around me more. Also, I rely on my other senses more. I dodged a few things today (such as drink spillage and someone who was desperately late for something). And used my Jedi reflexes to catch papers that were flying away. And lots of other stuff like that. Cool huh.

Thanks Chris for tagging... Haha guys, why suddenly so quiet? Is it cos my dad's around the area? Don't be scared of him lah. He just wants to know my friends better, that's all. And I think he knows all of you guys are very guai one. So no worries, say whatever you want. He doesn't mind.

Speaking of tagging... Some people in class went on a tagging frenzy during pw today. Impersonation power... Now Azrin's and Chris's tagboards are flooded with lots of weird stuff. No comment from me.

Any suggestions on names for my guitars?
Acoustic already has a name. His name is Rusty. Hahaha. For obvious reasons.
Bass - Is greenish-blue in colour, G string tends to buzz (don't think sick guys, that string really buzzes), D# (D string 1st fret) is always slightly out of tune no matter how I tune the string.
Classical - Has an EPL sticker on it, I haven't cut off excess string from the headboard. Its strings are further away from the fretboard as compared to other classical guitars.
If anyone has suggestions for a name, or needs a more thorough description of either bass or classical guitars, tag the board.

This is long overdue, but happy birthday to all July babies! July babies rock the house! Pri school classmates - Joel, Serene, Songhua, Church people - Amanda, Class people - Tabby, Lawrence. Sorry to those I missed out. Tag my board to scold me or something. Please?

I realize that chapter 1 of my story's long overdue as well. Paiseh... Maybe tonight if I get the chance.

And notice that I've included the phrase "tag my board" many times in this post. Haha. Hope you guys get the hint?

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,...
