IHC

S03H

Everything's getting normal in and around school... Lots more breaks, lots more free time, lots more interesting things to do.

Participated in Interhouse Championship Chinese Chess today. Haha first time playing CChess in a major tournament. A bit rusty, ever since the class craze for CChess ended a term ago. Still had most of my skills though. The previous times I'd participated in an IHC for Morrison I played IChess, which I wasn't that successful at. This time CChess was pretty decent.

Final results: MR 3rd, 44 points.
Result Tally: 4 wins 1 loss

Reached B48 at around 2pm with Kevin. And we teamed up with Yong Sheng to form a 3 person team. Each house is allowed only 4 teams of 3. So 4 teams from BB and BW competed, as well as 3 teams from MT and 2 teams from HH. Total matches all of us had to play = 5. And it was 1 point for win, 0.5 points for draw and 0 points for a loss. Did ok I guess. It was fun while it lasted.

So my team ended up with 9 points out of a possible 15.

Yong Sheng: 2 wins 3 losses
Kevin: 3 wins 2 losses

BB and BW people were seriously ownage. Good thing I beat both BB people I went against. But I lost to a BW guy. First two rounds the time for the opponent ran out. Third game I won, fourth lost, and last game won.

Go MR! May be going for the Spiderman 3 outing. We'll see.

Civics on tuesday was about online identity. Whether whatever you do online reflects the values you hold true to yourself. I hope I have. I really hope that you guys can see what God's been doing in my life through my posts. Cos he's the one I hold dear to. Christianity isn't only a religion, but a relationship with God, and the way you keep relating him everyday, whether nothing seems to happening, whether you're sad, whether you're on cloud nine.

And I believe that if you have a daily relationship with God it should show on your blog. So all those YE people with blogs, do try and post some things on how God's been working in your life, changing the things that you find inadequate, as well as how he's guided you and helped you through the difficult times. I think it'll be a good source of encouragement to other people in YE, and will help in charting your spiritual walk. Do try what I suggested! It'll help.

Piano

Well my piano teacher gave birth just yesterday, on the 24th of April 2007. But I don't think that the baby was due that early. Better ask how she's doing... So as of today, all piano lessons will be cancelled until further notice. Better practise still. And wonder when my theory grade 8 results are coming out.

Maybe I should go visit them in hospital? We'll see.

Read about the drowning in the canal incident. Hmm the going into the canal incident happened near block 148... Which I believe is quite near to my house. Probably at Bukit Batok MRT? Also, Debra Koh, the poor girl was a student at Hillgrove Sec School. And its right beside Lianhua Pri School, which is right beside my house. Freaky! Wonder how the students in the school are feeling?

The news report was quite shocking. I was quite amazed at the distance the 3 survivors managed to swim before getting rescued. If it were me... I don't think I would've survived. Haven't swimmed for eons, and my body's in pretty bad shape. The drainage canal right outside Bukit Gombak MRT near my house is pretty big and dangerous. If I were to slip and fall into the canal on a rainy day... Who knows?

Condolences go out to the family, friends of Debra Koh. To be taken away at the age of 13-14. Its quite tragic. God bless you guys.

And to all my friends... Be safe! Its been raining like crazy the past few days. Be careful not to slip and fall.

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,...
