First Week

And so this first week of 2011 has been moderately busy, with activities almost everyday to occupy myself with.

On saturday, went down to my maternal side cousin's house all the way in Bedok, to see my niece who's 1 year old. Her name's Riona, and I was pretty touched at the effort my cousin and her husband put in to create wonderful memories for her to look back upon. Had to drive back, which I quite enjoyed, but it was slightly stressful because of the distance.

Sunday, playing for main. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Somehow I feel I was made to play in bands like that, with high technical ability. I was in the groove so to speak, I could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, and I was moving along with the rhythm and meditating on the words of the songs. Playing with adults just seems different, and its something I've come to enjoy. No stress at all even!

Monday, grocery shopping. Drove to Bukit Timah Shopping Centre. Rest of the day was uneventful... It was sort of my "day of rest" before the busyness set in.

Tuesday. Worship Leaders meeting. Juan wasn't there, so helped her present the budget and take down a list of things to do. My first source of stress for the week. I was totally unprepared for it... =.= In the midst of it I almost scared myself to death, suddenly realizing that SERVE inauguration clashed with my japanese lecture if it were on tuesday. But messaging Edgal and Shengwei calmed it down, for it had been shifted a day later, and I was already prepared for it to clash with my Romans training before hand. Phew. That was quite a shock.

With a tough round of bidding to top that, it was tough to stay happy. Though I wasn't unhappy either, just not in that optimistic state I usually always am in. Yesterday was one demanding day, but at the same time it was alright.

So some things remaining for the week: Romans training today, SYC chalet on thursday, SYC on friday, Leaders training and YE on saturday, and service on sunday. Thats a lot whoa.

Finally, leisure. Have started on Last Rebellion on PS3, which is quite like my kind of game. An RPG in which you actually have to think more. Quite like mastermind in the gameplay. For anime I've moved on to Samurai 7. And I've finally made progress on Chopin's Grande Valse Brilliante op 18 after leaving it stagnant for some time.

School in 5 days... It's alright. For now haha.

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,...

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
