L.A Noire

After 2 weeks of not posting I'm finally back! I admit it has been rather difficult, mostly because of juggling my work and being with Van with my personal to do list which includes anime, piano and running or ps3-ing. Wonder if I should decrease the number of things to do in my to do list per day hmm...

Well, the past 2 weeks have gone by well! Updates on my paper is that I managed to get it finished 3 days before the deadline, and the presentation passed by very well comparatively to other groups. For my group we got grilled considerably much less, and for that I'm rather thankful! Continuing with academics had my first mid term test last week on thursday on Chinese Heritage, which was rather doable considering the vast scope it could've covered. So 3 more important deadlines have passed agreeably!

For now its recess week! And I'm looking forward first to my Japanese "project" of having to show students from Waseda University around NUS on this friday, and next to having cell with Gihon on saturday. Plus that, I'll also have dates with Van of course, who is ending her job on wednesday. Besides that tuition with Amos, perhaps along the course of the week if he needs them. There might also be a bible study leaders meeting. In a way its great to see the YE comm start work on meetings again, and I can't wait to get things started again.

Turning to leisure, I've finished Yakuza 4 and I'm starting on a new PS3 game: LA Noire! Its the genre which I appreciate very much: mystery and puzzles in a world roaming format. Just think GTA without excessive killing, with the main character being a detective instead of a vigilante. Very much enjoying it! Chopin's Fantasie Impromptu is proving very difficult, and I've only made it to one and a half pages so far.

I remember the past 3 or so days each having a really unfortunate incident that I was disappointed about, but surprisingly I can't recall much of the happenings on thursday and friday. I suppose I am pretty optimistic hmm. For yesterday though it was a happy occasion marking Juan and Nick's wedding, and my first visit to a Japanese cultural festival at Waseda High School, after YE I found out that I'd left my headlights on all the way from 930am to 7pm... And the battery was drained. That was really deflating after such a good day hmm.

Well, I need this coming week to catch up with sleep so catch you guys some time. We'll see when I get to update my blog!

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 ...

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,...
