Daioh

Apologies, for its been ages since I posted!

Well, school work is catching up to me, but with God's strength I will pull through. Specifically have 3 deadlines on the following week, though one of the group presentations is already settled. Left a solo project and a group proposal due. Besides that I've been rather fine. Busy doing readings, and over the past week all my weekday evenings were full with activities, which kind of restricted any time for other things.

The car's been giving a bit of problems with it stuttering whenever I come to a stop, so got it checked out and sent for maintenance with a hefty fee, but its now good as new, all clean and better than ever!

On thursday went with Vanessa and her family to go watch Tao: The Art of Drums at the Esplanade, and as a supporter of all things Japanese, watching the Japanese Drums being played was exciting, and they impressive thing is the incorporation of many aspects of the culture of drums: it being an aspect of war, work, history, mythology and leisure. Also the performances were so dynamic that there was never a dull moment. =)

Yup here's a pic.


Saturday's YE was a little nerve wracking, with the debate going on between both sides. My side was pretty quiet so had to step up. Thankful that Sherrill stepped up too... I guess I am pretty weak at rallying people for that kind of thing so gotta work on that. Vanessa was pretty shaken up by the build up of lots of stressors during the week, so had to be strong for her too, and I think I did a pretty good job of that. =)

And a happy birthday to her today! Went over to spend some time with her and give her some gifts. Can tell she really appreciated them and when that happened my heart soared. Could tell she was having the time of her life. =D

Other things: for leisure, I'm done with Chopin's Minute Waltz, which wasn't as tough as I envisioned it. Just a lot of finger dexterity involved. My next project will be Chopin's Nocturne Op.9 No.2. Its the most famous one everyone should've heard it before. Also, watching a new, rather cute anime: Azumanga Daioh. About the school life of a couple of funny girls, much like Lucky Star, except less random.

And a second pic! The characters from Azumanga Daioh. From the left Yomi, Osaka, Chiyo, Sakaki, Kagura and Tomo!


Well will update on how my deadlines are going, so keep tuning in! Sorry for the break in posting. =)

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

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time! 

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.
