Own Them, RJ, Own Them!

The hols are here! Which means... Mug. Aww man.

Besides studies a lot of things are happening... My bros are going away for one week from 7-14 June, and my house will be undergoing renovations for about 3 weeks somewhere near that time period. Not forgetting my NS checkup on 8 June, YE retreat on 2-3 June and Pirates on 30-31 May. Seems like its still gonna be quite a busy holiday.

And if theres one thing I've learnt to appreciate over the past weeks, this'll be the second most important one: its better to be busy than idle.

Soccer

Champs League final!

Overall it was a really keyed down affair. Not much hype surrounding it unlike 2 years ago. I think its cos people believe that such a rare occurence would never repeat itself. Going down 3-0 then coming back to tie and to win it on penalties. It is near impossible, and people are convinced that it'll never happen again. So that probably explains the lack of hype surrounding the match.

Eventually:

AC Milan 2 Liverpool 1

AC are champions! Oddly, 3 out of 4 teams in the semifinals were English teams, yet the Italian team won the champions league title. Funny.

Wednesday was a bomb awesome day. Yeah it was GP common test, but it was what happened after that made the day a really sweet one.

There were 3 match supports in total, one to Tennis guys and gals finals, one to Netball finals, and the last to Rugby finals. Went for the Netball finals to support Amanda, Carol and Candera. Haha but only Amanda got to play.


Netball Finals! 3rd Quarter I believe.

RJ led almost all the way, except for one point where we were trailing by... One point. That was the closest HC came to beating us in the second quarter, but besides that, it was all RJ! Theres no denying that HC did an awesome job. I believe their shooters had an almost perfect record, and their passing was super good. But RJ overcame it so kudos to both teams for playing their hearts out!

There was a bus to Home Team NS Academy so Plan, Leonard, Mie, Lawry, Charissa (I think Mam, Jheeva, Vivek and Kaswin as well. Tell me if I left anyone out.) took RJ charter buses to go support Rugby final!


In the bus outside Toa Payoh Stadium.

The atmosphere was really great! All the stands were full, and everyone was cheering like crazy. Even though the match hadn't even started yet. Soon... The battle for first started! Nazi, Kenny! Go guys you can do it!


The lineup... AC on the left, RJ on the right.

ACS scored from a penalty first, with RJ coming back by scoring a try and failing to convert the resulting spotkick. ACS made the score 10-5 by scoring a try and converting. In the dying minutes, RJ scored another try, sending the game into overtime with a score of 10-10. The crowd was getting anxious. A penalty was awarded for ACS... They missed... A few minutes later, a penalty was awarded for RJ... We scored! With a margin of 13-10, we won Rugby!


Prize Giving Ceremony. RJC ~ Rugby A Div Champions!

Woo it was a really exciting experience. That day, RJ won a quadruple gold with victories in netball, rugby and both tennis finals. And the day after, RJ won another quadruple gold with victories in hockey, soccer and both badminton finals.


Auspicium Melioris Aevi! With God to guide the way.

Congratulations to all sports teams, you guys did very well. We're all very proud of you guys.

Aww man! Friday was farewell, and it was the very last time I'd see most my fellow J2 RJGE members. It was good... Yeah I was sad, but at the same time, I was glad that I could see most of them one last time. What more can I say?

Kovan, holding his head haha. The amp provided us with good music, some really funny I must add. I respect Kovan, cos of his conviction not to play cards until it was beyond 5pm.

Linky, the new chairman of RJGE. Dealing the cards which Kovan refused to play.


Stuff I got... Thanks everyone. Thank you God for giving me this awesome CCA. Its been a privilege to play for You. God bless all you people in RJGE!

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.
