LOL Report

Whoever's marking my lab report is so gonna LOL when he sees it.

Lesson learnt. However time consuming and reeking of double work it will be, I'm gonna do a simulation run through the experiments and calculations so that no minor detail will escape my grasp ever again.

I tried my best at titration, but still...

Wrong Answer

This happened during one of the evangelism discussions with my fellowship.

~

Imagine meeting Jesus (yes the Saviour himself!!!) at the gates of heaven. He speaks.

"Question 1: Give me a reason why you would qualify to enter."


The first thing that actually came to my mind, well actually the first few things:

  • I've been having a burden of prayer over the unsaved...
  • I've been serving in your house... OK maybe not very well on the social interaction side... me being introverted and all, but... still can lah, huh?
  • I...
Then it struck me.

Wrong Answer.

I've never been this surprised since, well, since a certain Sunday night last year, but that's not the point.

5 years into the faith and the first thing that came to my mind when asked about the condition of salvation is still, self-effort.

I felt like kicking myself.

Nothing delivers us from spiritual death except for Jesus' blood shed on the cross. I want you to know as well.

Tada'ima

Dear God,

I'm finally back in business. 我回来了。

After this semester

After this bloody semester ends, I will play my part in

  • CVCF Bible Study Camp
  • NUS VOICES Emerge 2009
  • Somebody's birthday bash. LOL
  • Dunking Liwei at Sentosa beach.
  • Hopefully go for K (finally) with my OG mates.

That, will be after this bloody semester ends.

OK, back to statistics!

Three Sighs

Sigh.

(On Lab sessions)

Eugene: "(on computing) ... it's hard to beat the scholars anyway"

在下: "For me in Chemistry... it's hard to beat those who copy their seniors' lab reports -__-"

~

Sigh.

It's my turn to lead people again. Not that I'm not happy - I'm actually pretty excited.

But I won't be going too far by saying that I'm afraid to lead.

~

Sigh.

Suddenly I'm not used to free Sunday afternoons :(

*Bump

I really shouldn't leave that lousy-mood post up here at the top for too long.

Especially now that I actually have the capacity to ruminate on my Chem stuff again and to actually think of going Vivo after my short VOICES meeting for an equally short (hopefully) shopping spurt.

For someone like me, it's a good sign that I'm starting to need a belt again :)

I'm finally out of that bloodshot-eyed (well my eyes felt bloodshot; they didn't actually look that way), blocked-nose state of existence, and we've closed the chapter of our J-studies group work. Sorry Rin for the time issues =( , and sorry myself by that stupid pronunciation mistake I made during presentation.

You will get my new mobile number soon.

After the mini-concert on Friday I can finally have a nice Saturday morning. Bright sun, clear sky, just my chemistry notes, some data on ionisation energies, and I.

I'm actually very much looking forward to that.

I have drunk the green potion

So now, in the very words of Dumbledore himself,

KILL ME!

Bell Bless You

Had a fun night out with Kelvin and Jon at Wala, listening to Unexpected while rambling about the detriments of the legendary Bell Curve.

Glad that our group presentation is more or less finalised, and my own lines are starting to take shape. I must have scared the shit out of my groupmates with my sucky trial presentation earlier today LOL! I will do my best for Monday, I promise.

And my popular writing article about molecules. Rachael seemed to have 无心插柳 when she made a casual summary of the desired style being somewhat like blog writing.

You'll know what my 柳成荫 refers to then.

Looking forward to starting writing it in the first place. After all (act casual)... it's already 2 days left before the deadline...

Good NEWS

It's pure coincidence I'm sure. 偶然だよ

The top song for Oricon Single Charts on October 13 was:

Monday Come

In times like these my mind is just, blank.

Projects to be completed, gig in the afternoon, assignments in the evening. I never thought it to be possible that this blankness and mental fatigue would go out of control, but it just did.

Come next week, I'll be a happier person. Right now I don't even have the capacity for emotions anymore.

祝我生日快乐

Thanks for the well-wishes, the TFU Concept Art book! And the cake!

I really enjoyed the night out with the IT Club guys, at Mel's Birthday chalet. It's really a reunion of old friends; I feel at ease there, not like the kind of gatherings which I'd rather say I'm obliged to go for.

Here I am, 3 a.m., writing this post while waiting for my instant noodle to get done. Burned my midnight oil. Now too hungry to actually have a proper sleep, hence the noodles.

And partly also to view the After-Action-Review of the Voices practice today. I mean yesterday.

Revenge of the Splurge

I regret to inform you (yeah right), that

Photobucket

What with my recent purchases of

Photobucket
The Force Unleashed, for PSP

Photobucket
Yeah that same bag

Photobucket
Audio Technica ATH-SJ1 headset

Photobucket
iPod Classic, 120GB

The Splurge has begun, indeed!

Spot the Milo Truck!

I did! Albeit a bit slow, huh.

Photobucket

What with everyone talking about culture, and how to build a culture in communities which are said to have no culture, I realised that culture is really made up of little things like this, something a community has in common, something that will make everyone's day, something that will...

OK I'm babbling too much. Stop.

Collide

That's called being a fan.

I never got the implication of having crossover characters in Soul Calibur 4 until I saw that gameplay video on Youtube.

Photobucket
Starkiller looks like a nihonjin here...

Photobucket
Angol Fear, designed by Yoshizaki sensei based on Angol Mois from Keroro

That means, the galaxies of Star Wars and Keroro, collide.

Sleeper

Sunday night 2359. Monday morning 0000.

Thought I wasn't going to sleep until 2.

Then the e-mail came. Irony huh.

Nostalgia

Back to the time when Fujiwara wasn't the first fictional Tofu shop that comes to my mind...

I guess I'm really getting nostalgic.
