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...

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,...

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 ...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge. De...
