YOG

Have thoroughly enjoyed the coverage of YOG so far, with Singapore doing pretty well. I think the anchors of the 11pm broadcast have been doing a great job! Proud of our youngsters who've done all they can to make Singapore champions.

BPL has started once again, and watching the various replays of matches I've seen how mistakes by goalkeepers can just make or break a team. And heroics by some of them will save a club from defeat. Take Joe Hart for Man City. Loads of saves meant that Man City survived an onslaught on their goal from the imperious Tottenham offense in their 0-0 draw.

Here are the results:
Tottenham 0 Man City 0
Blackburn 1 Everton 0
Aston Villa 3 West Ham 0
Bolton 0 Fulham 0
Sunderland 2 Birmingham 2
Wolves 2 Stoke 1
Wigan 0 Blackpool 4
Chelsea 6 West Brom 0
Liverpool 1 Arsenal 1
Man U 3 Newcastle 0

Another point of note was Blackpool's 4-0 defeat of Wigan. Though they were expected to be one of the weaker sides in the league they've managed to win in magnificent style and now lie 2nd in the table by goal difference. Underdog supporters everywhere are probably grinning from ear to ear.

On a different note, God has really blessed me in lots of different ways... I expected to not get used to studying so quickly, but just today I felt like I've been doing it for quite a long time already... Also I've gotten majority of the tutorial slots I wanted, and though my schedule looks pretty tight for this semester, I've still been able to cope with the readings and workload and things like that. In fact I'm pretty much ahead in reading the material given, as much as a week ahead. Its pretty amazing for someone who hasn't studied in a long time, and I don't think its just me who's working on this. God's working with me too.

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...

Aikatsu

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...
