A Series Of Fortunate Events

And so its September. Time has been passing pretty quick. I'm a full month into studying already, yet its only felt like a couple of days? I suppose its the army time syndrome; after a whole 2 years of being in a camp a month feels like a few days.

Completed my very first assignment in uni, and a little confused at how well I handled it. Friends everywhere are complaining about their assignments, and I found mine too simple. Perhaps its the courses I'm taking that are not so difficult, and perhaps like army training the courses I've taken are progressive in nature? Anyways, I thank God for this. When I see everyone else struggling (or at least claiming to struggle), I can't believe how blessed I am.

Another series of fortunate events include saturday's trip to church. As everyone probably knows the train service between Jurong East and Clementi has been stopped for this weekend, and at 2:15pm I found myself making my way to the shuttle buses to Clementi from Jurong East. The stipulated waiting time plus journey time was 45 minutes, and according to predictions it was almost certain I'd have been late. Even to an optimist being late would've been a forgone conclusion, considering the queue and traffic.

Amazingly as I arrived at the temporary bus bay the employees decided to open a second queue for commuters, and I was the 2nd person in the queue. Immediately I got to hop on a bus, and reached church 15 minutes early at 2:45pm. Just another wonderful blessing that could be nothing less than God given. =)

This morning my mom left for Batam and Darren for Korea! I'm sure they'll enjoy themselves. Everythings looking up isn't it? =D

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,...

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...
