Ippo

Hi guys... It's been a month or so since I last updated... Ever since tutorials began its been a whole lot of busyness in store for me, so much so that there are days when I've got to sleep rather late. My body clock's pretty strange now, and I think I have a sleep debt. But all that doesn't matter, compared to the joy I have giving my best to God everyday! :)

So, it's now break week, and I must say that it's a well deserved rest, after having to do lots of stuff for school, YE and other miscellaneous stuff.

Updates on leisure activities... I'm still stuck at the second page of the heroic polonaise, still playing alpha protocol, but what's new is that I'm watching a new anime: Hajime no Ippo, which is about a young boy who's bullied and decides to pick up boxing to find out what being strong truly means. Along the way, he gains Japan's Featherweight Title and is still on the process of learning what true strength means.

A rather inspiring anime to keep pushing towards what you want to achieve, with an attitude of never giving up! :D If only all of us can have this attitude when it comes to things of God... But I'm glad with the "I Promise" event that just passed, YE members were able to take their first step towards desiring more of God. The word Ippo in Japanese means one step, and I guess all of us in one way, took a step forwards, and that makes me happy. :D

Well, I'm not sure if I should promise more regular posting, cos I'll be swarmed once school starts again. :P But oh wells. :) Do check back to see what other posts I have. :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 ...

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,...

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...
