Watashiwa no nakama!

YE

Movie Screening at YE! The movie was great IMO, and there were a couple of quotes and learning points that meant quite a lot to me. Especially with the exams looming, and the question marks floating around on what the future would hold. So here they are. I think it means a lot to the other exam takers too.
1. "Preparing for rain".
2. Faith without action is meaningless.
3. Thank God even in the successes and failures.
4. Godly methods are no match for worldly methods.
5. Miracles do happen. There is no such thing as impossible.

Leisure

Ok a list of piano songs that I've been practising in free time. As you can see its a list of FF songs plus one jazz piece basically.

Autumn Crocus

For the jazzy feel that I've never tried playing before...

Aeris's Theme - FF7 AC

Reminds me of yzyz's for his pwnage playing of the triplet accompaniment with the quaver melody, Rach for sending me the song file, and BenZ cos its his fave FF song.

Fisherman's Horizon Theme - FF8

My fave FF song out of all the FFs I've played. Which includes FFA, FFAQ, FFT, FFTA, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9, FF10, FF10.2, FF12. This is the only song that makes me feel very very calm.

Eternal Harvest - FF9

Tougher than all the rest of the songs... This one is super fast paced and used for training finger dexterity, modulational mood changes and LH smoothness. Not to mention psychomotor skills.

To Zanarkand - FF10

Its famous. No need for any more explanation. I've played the noob version on guitar before, so I shall do the pro version on piano and leave the pro version on guitar to my bro.

Eternity of the Memory of Lightwaves - FF10.2

Nice duet song. Need a solo instrument to duet with though. Elec guitars don't sound very compatible with the song. Perhaps a sax? Or flute? We'll see.

Watching One Piece now!


Monkey D. Luffy! The most funniest person I have ever seen. Though not the most smartest, his total faith in what he does is really admirable.

He's chasing his dream, his nakama are chasing their dreams, I shall chase after my dream too!

Bah just got my NS letter from the letterbox. It says here that I'll have to go for enlistment on...

Woot 15th Dec.

Not if I can help it. If you'd asked me three months ago whether I'd want to go early for ns I'd probably say I don't mind. But now... God has given me something to do, well at least to start before I go for my BMT. And its very very very important to me at least.

So I'm gonna take my IPPT on the 28th of Nov at the Toa Payoh Stadium! Wish me all the best.

I believe I can attain a silver at least, at the rate I'm going now. I've always been very good at situps, sbj and shuttle run, and getting better. My current pullup count has risen to 4-5 from only 1 (which was 6 weeks ago). Going to time myself tomorrow for 2.4. But the one I'm worried about is sit and reach. I've never been very flexible (in all senses of the word).

I have faith I'll be ready by then. So no probs. I'll be praying for both As and IPPT!

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,...
