Sports Day

And so its been more than 2 weeks since I last blogged! Its been rather busy, and I thought this semester was going to be more relaxed. In fact, my first " graded submission" of sorts is already next monday, and its a presentation about a journal article which constitutes 12.5% of the grade. It'll only get busier, but I think its still alright!

So far the tough courses are by two core modules, my lab in cognitive psych and cognitive neuroscience, and surprisingly, my General Education Module on Chinese Heritage is proving to be rather heavy in terms of workload. The best module by far is Forensic Science, its quite relaxed, has no tutorials, and has little workload, so I'm thankful for that. I'm enjoying my Japanese classes too, learning new forms to use! Hoping that this semester I'll keep my faith strong and my heart focused!

So on Saturday was Gihon Sports Day, and the turnout was pretty good with 8 people turning up! We played badminton, pool, and watched a movie. I'm glad that Gihon now has a really good cell culture, and its thanks to the contribution of all the members to create this culture. Even the young ones relate to the older ones like brothers and sisters, and I'm glad for this level of relationship and fellowship. When I first started out on Gihon, this is what I hoped to achieve, but now on the next level more work needs to be done, and I'm looking forward to it!

Well, its also been one year since Vanessa and I started officially dating, and God has brought us through much, and is always reminding us to keep Him the center! We've been rather successful except some lapses, and I'm looking forward to more years with her! She's progressed much in finding her own true self in the time we were together, and I'm glad I could play a part in that. I do believe I'm doing my utmost as a Godly mate for her, and I'd like to keep it this way. Our dear friends, please continue to support and keep us accountable on this journey!

Lastly, I've started watching one of the oldest sentai anime: Saint Seiya! It's about a group of people called Saints who save the world from evil and go on a quest against the evil Arles to quash his evil ruling of the Saint Community. It is mega old school (some of their costumes are hilarious), and predictable, but enjoyable! Brought me back to the days of Power Rangers 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

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.
