Heroic

On to the final Chopin song that I definitely wanna play: Op 53, Heroic Polonaise! It's gonna be another challenge, tougher than the Fantasie Impromptu for sure! Now that I've gotten the hang of the Fantasie Impromptu, shall spend the time improving it whilst I practice the new song. So far the beginning of it doesn't seem too tough, but the tough part is at the end where the LH plays running octaves... It's gonna be a mega tiring song to master but it sound really majestic! Ever since beginning my exploration of Chopin's pieces, I've always wondered when I'd finish the list of songs that I wanted to learn, and it's about to be completed! With that I'll have a whole repertoire of 8 Chopin's songs I can present to others! :)

Well as part of being accountable to everyone, I must admit that my QT as of late has been... Late. Haha well since there's so much to do in a day, Van and I usually start QT extremely late, leading to fatigue and some incidents of accidental falling asleep. I suppose we've got to start being more focused in our QTs... As a Christian couple, one thing that I believe is that before you can get a relationship right and God centered, your own life has to be God centered, and that's what we need for now, a renewal of focus! And do pray for us for that! Thank you very much!

B1G concluded last saturday, and I must say it was a pretty tiring experience. I've never been that drained from a conference, and I suppose my stamina is not what it was. The time spent there was definitely refreshing, and a big reminder of God's realness in my life. For one, many thing the speakers shared resonated with my previous experiences, and its always a good reminder of how other like minded Christians like yourself also do go through moments of brokeness and anguish, and how you recovered your faith just like they did shows how real a God we have! It was a great reminder of those times, and through that I was truly blessed. St James Church in a way does feel like a second church to me some how, and I suppose that's because its where the one who inspired me towards change came from, giving me a second, transformed life that fateful day 8 years ago. Another reminder of the realness of God in my life. =)

Tomorrow will be watching Hotel Transylvania with Van, and its a movie we've both anticipated for awhile! Exciting! :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 ...

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...

Aikatsu

Have been engaging in a couple of new interesting hobbies to liven things up.  First off, chess of which I've started diving into to learn opening strategies and as part of that have started to watch official tournaments. Good way to stretch my thinking muscles. Second, watching netflix series in alphabetical order. Never know what interesting gems you uncover. I'm partway through stuff starting with the number 2, and its quite amazing how much you find about other cultures from this. Upcoming is a movie called 2 Weeks in Lagos, I think will be interesting cos I will get to learn more about Nigeria. I last watched a movie called 2 States which was about the clash in cultures between North and South India.   Third, watching soccer for the thrill and excitement. Letting this blog live up to its name.  Fourth, PS4. Finally finishing of Tales of Berseria and starting on Assassins Creed Origins soon.  Fifth, anime - the usual stuff I have never gone without since thi...
