WC 2010

Well for the weekend I was given pretty much a lot of reponsibility. With my mom and grandma in Vietnam and my dad taking care of my grandpa, I've been tasked to take care of the twins, although they don't actually need a lot of my guidance when it comes to eating, bathing, sleeping and such. Just buying the meals, driving them around, and looking after the car. Reluctant to go for outings because of that... Sorry Jon.

Haha and then now its my turn to take care of my grandpa, so I'm with him at my grandparents place, just chilling, using my aunt's laptop (she's in Vietnam too), and just pretty much keeping him company. My dad has flown off for work for 2 days, and the twins are alone at home, but they'll manage haha.

I know it seems simple and stuff, but this is pretty much the first time this much reponsibility has been thrust in my hands. I enjoy it, but at the same time its pretty daunting. After all, after God family is my main priority, and to be given such a big role in it is amazing. So this is what being 21 is all about: mega big responisibility.

World cup ends... Spain are champions! But like a true neutral, I'm rueing what the sport has come to. The first half was filled with players hacking at each others legs. The second half was a little more exciting, but the hacking never stopped. To a fan supporting either side, I'm sure they must have been angry at the referee (and players of the opposing team), but I think he did an amazing job in a match that was so rough. So for this world cup as a neutral, I'll give the kudos to New Zealand! The only country not to lose in this world cup. 2 1-1 draws and 1 0-0 draw as one of the lowest ranked sides in the competition is great.

And so Mueller gets the golden boot for 5 goals 3 assists. Congrats to him, he's deserved it. And congrats to Paul the octopus for his predictions being right. Well in terms of probability and mathematics, the probability of him getting all the 7 matches right is 1/128 (half to the power of 7), which is a whole lot easier than striking 4D, which loads of Singaporeans can do anyways. Well the logic behind the comparison is flawed, but who cares haha. Paul just isn't psychic all you mislead people!!! Pardon the randomness.

The world cup comes to an end. Need more sleep.

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,...
