Mayday

Yesterday was one of the worst days to fall sick... Especially with so many things to attend to. Grandma's birthday dinner, sorting out Gihon's prayer buddies and praying for YE to name a few. And it was the 1st time in ages I've gotten sick twice in the same year. Pfft. Oh well at least it gave me time to think about various things. But thats the only positive out of the many negatives.

Finally got my new QT material! Bought it during the recee for ID retreat. Just reading through Christian help books and short passages of the bible without something to put it into perspective was quite dreary... I'm glad I got the chance to buy it!

One thing I'm getting really interested in is murder mysteries, have been watching the Murder Game, Murder in Small Town X and Kindachi Case Files. Its scary how simple emotions can push people to the point of murder or committing a crime, and how twisted killers can be born from just a lingering hatred for someone else.

Another would be folklore, mythology and legends of various cultures. Persona, the Shin Megami Tensei series, Tokyo Majin and various readings on wikipedia pretty much piqued my interest. Its quite intriguing the way "demons" and "spirits" are blamed for natural phenomenon which can't be explained, and how people's imaginations can run so wild, causing them to create all these legends.

To do list:
1. Prep BS
2. Msg Elijah
3. Msg Gihon abt prayer buddies
4. Msg Gihon abt usher duty this week and YE
5. Prep teaching/ppt for ID retreat
6. Tutor Aaron on thurs
7. Driving on tues
8. Confirm CIP with Aunty KF

Leisure
9. Finish Tokyo Majin
10. FF13
11. Get lyrics for all songs on iTunes
12. Sign Lang
13. Cook

This years May's busier than usual...

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,...

Have been engaging in a couple of new interesting hobbies to liven things up.  First off, chess of which I've started diving into to learn opening strategies and as part of that have started to watch official tournaments. Good way to stretch my thinking muscles. Second, watching netflix series in alphabetical order. Never know what interesting gems you uncover. I'm partway through stuff starting with the number 2, and its quite amazing how much you find about other cultures from this. Upcoming is a movie called 2 Weeks in Lagos, I think will be interesting cos I will get to learn more about Nigeria. I last watched a movie called 2 States which was about the clash in cultures between North and South India.   Third, watching soccer for the thrill and excitement. Letting this blog live up to its name.  Fourth, PS4. Finally finishing of Tales of Berseria and starting on Assassins Creed Origins soon.  Fifth, anime - the usual stuff I have never gone without since thi...
