Settled

Its taken me so long to finally properly settle down in my new job, and its now been 6 weeks in and counting! I must say I'm enjoying my time at work, although its filled with heart wrenching moments for the sake of some of the people I meet, and mixed in with a couple of stressful cases that need thorough hand holding, I must say this job is everything that I'd dreamed of doing. I never thought that on my first try I'd get a job which fit my personality, liking and abilities closely, with good superiors, colleagues and environment. All this I have to give thanks to God for.

When I asked my superior why I was chosen she just said I had the passion, and they wanted to give me a try... It was then it dawned on me how fortunate my circumstances were. And in retrospect, I got my new job whilst YE was toned down in terms of youth week... The timing was just too perfect, giving me time to get used to the job before YE picked up. And once again I learn the true meaning of Matthew 6, to not worry about tomorrow. 

There are some exciting things looming in the horizon, but I'm not sure if I can announce it. Has to do with my workplace! But one thing that just happened today was our office's monthly healthy living series, and we went to marina barrage to fly kites and play frisbee, among many other things. Talk about excellent work life balance haha! I still worried about my major cases but well sometimes a little break is in order!

Now that Van's started her internship new challenges of sleeping early are rising, and perhaps we need to do that for her sake! We both are learning about the challenges of a 9-6 job, and the need to change our sleep cycles loom above us... I'm pretty ok now but she's been having a headache from fatigue! Do pray for her yeah! :)

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...
