Death's Face

321 days to ORD!

It may seem kinda redundant to count down day by day, but to us ns people it really means a lot. And considering the speed that everything is passing by... It may help us feel a lot better.

Apologies to all... Doesn't feel like Christmas to me at all. Yup there are parties being thrown here and there, theres a church service to attend. But I'm totally not in the mood. I couldn't even get a chance to get decent presents for anyone. You could even say I didn't even take any initiative to do so.

I could give a couple of excuses saying I've got little time cos of book in timings and such, but the fact is I could've just rushed out one of the days and just bought some simple gifts of chocolates from west mall or something. This time, money isn't the issue, I'm just not feeling like it.

Went to my mom's side aunt's funeral. Liver cancer. Yeah, thats what took her. For the first time in a long time I felt a tinge of sadness. NS kinda numbs the senses/emotions I guess. For some reason you'll never feel sad about your own predicaments, but when it comes to others pain its different.

I mean, she was nothing like what I remembered her to be. A sunken face, wrinkled and hollow looked back at me when I stared into the coffin. I couldn't recognise her at all. So thats what death looks like, was the first thought that hit me when I saw it. Coupled with the indescribable sadness, it all seemed surreal.

We sat there for a couple of hours...

My cousin talked to my mum about my future prospects... Seems like she's got a few prepositions. Theres a medical missionary university course in KL that I'm quite interested in. May go for it... After all, its killing two birds with one stone. And I can still be back home everyday, albeit late. But at this point of time I just don't know. Theres also a theology and psychology double degree in australia thats possible, but I'm not too keen on that.

Now that I'm done with Lucky Star, going for Chobits, then My Hime/Otome, then Rosario Vampire. Have all of them downloaded and ready. Have taken notice of one of Naruto's songs: Nakushita Kotoba (Lost Words) by No Regret Life for its lyrics, mainly. Probably the next song I'll learn.

I realise that I've not been updating about soccer. It all boils down to the mood once again. EPL is starting to become a draw fest each and every week.

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.
