# Day 2
It's day 2. Not of studying, but exams. Just wanna say it's ben great cuz God's been God. Without Whom,I'd be a puddle of tears. God has been faithful, helping me pull through, though I so don't deserve it. Thanks goes out to You.
Only 3 more papers to go. Actually shouldn't be only, cuz it's still 60% to go.
My CAP score is gona come out soon, but whatever it is, taking a line from Facing The Giants, if it's good, i'll praise God, if it's bad, i'll still praise God. MUCH easier said than done, even more so as the exams have been proceeding smoothly. God help me stay close to You under pressure. When I don't understandthings. When there is no mood to study. When I don't know how to answer simple questions. When the exams overwhelm, help me to stay calm.
Looking forward to post-exams. Not very sure who's free and what to do. Tentative would be a little re-union with the scholars in SG, most likely 3rd Dec. Lunch with Jean somewhere on 5th. Movie outing with UNI-fied people of YA (= Looking forward to all of them!
But most of all, returning home. TO see my sis who's finished SPM, maybe even get to see the new house. Then there's CFFF anf INFACTION.
Then there's decisions. How many modules to take next sem. Should I take up leadership in YA. Not comm level or anything, but really stepping out of (an already not so comfort zone) to strive for His Kingdom even more. Battle Plan's not ready yet, there's so much I want to do, but for now.. stay focused. There's 3 more papers and 3 and a half more years of UNI.
Well, shouldn't be saying it like it's torture, but have to start thinking with God's mind, seeing with His eyes, that there's so much I can do for Him in this (very seemingly torturous) period.
Cheers to the people who have been praying and cheering me on, my cell, shujingz, alexis, ade, kiaboon, huiyan, and all others who have encouraged me in one way or another, sorry not all ur names are listed here.
So now.. it's 9pm, and Friday 9am is looming.
Bye...Labels: Exams

# DAY 1
It's day one of mugging week. It's official mug-a-thon in NUS except for the School of Medicine ppl who have their own crazy timetable. For the mere mortals, we are dragging ourselves along.
For this mortal. Today was maths. Glad i understood some of the things i didn't previously when i read (the close to useless) notes again. Finally realised that there was a different formula for surface AREA and surface INTEGRAL. Noob? Well, better now than never? Hehe. Need to get out of my room. Like seriously.
THough i doubt NUS will be much more conducive. What's bad abt being in my room all day? firstly, you don't want to know. Secondly, i ate my "rations" (big thanks to Jayne and family!! =)
But the sad thing is that's the only thing i ate. From cereals, to biscuits and cookies. Now planning my instant noodles dinner. Yes I shall have that. Whee~~!
MSN is quite stressful with everyone on BUSY or MUGGING mode. So yeah, not too encouraging there. Lookign forward to CELL!!! Oh man.. i dunno what i'll do wthout you guys.. really...
Ok, enough of whining. Time to thank God for helping me and nto throwing me away after day 1 of mugging. Thanks for the better understanding, i still could use a smarter brain, but Im thankful for what You've given me thus far. I'll learn to be more obedient and trust You more.
And i currently think the song Sweetness(medley Can't Live A Day) is jsut awesome!
Shoutouts to all muggers-perservere on to the end!!

# The Stress
Oh, just wanted to say Im so stressed I can feel myself catching a fever. It's like.. wow.. Congratulations CS1101C, you're the first module to make me sick. Sad thing is, I actually enjoy programming, but a time limit of 105 minutes isn't enough for me. Need more processing time. Also, you guys purposely set questions that only geniuses can complete, but I shall trust God to help me in about 1 hour's time.
Yup, it's one hour to my practical exam and my handphone reminder just went off. Ok, need to get my mind off this. Too bad I don't have earphones or i'd be listening to Hillsong or Planetshakers ryte now. Whee~~
Bye.Labels: CS1101C

# The Lecture Edition
Im now in LT7A and am totally not bothered to listen to the lecturer. Why am I even awake at 9am? Cuz I already attended this lecture by another lecturer, and this lecturer is currrently goign through the same questions again.. So yeah.. rather lazy to listen to the same thing again.
This week has been very happening cuz mainlyof Sarah's birthday, which we combined with Jeremy's. But it also meant I forgot to hand in my assignment for EG1109.. sian.. Study too much for that exam I forgot 3 things. 2 tuitions... and 1 assignment. What's the best part? I actually did the assignment.. So yeah.. hopefully the prof will still let me hand in (=
Now for the birthday celebrations, lets start from the fact I was preparing the poster for Sarah and then Jeremy, then I also completed the birthday quiz. Too bad it was too easy, and FX apparently thinks I'm too kind..
OK.... somebody's handphone just rang with some weird BOLLYWOOD ringtone with someone singing... And the lecturer just said "it's important to pay attention to this here..." And we all jsut laughed, but by the time i typed this, everyone seems to be listening again..
Ok, back to the birthday celebration, met FX at SIM at 6.30 on 151. Then waited quite a bit for 154 to come. Her friend Crystal was there too, but she mostly "zzz-ed" to her iPod. We talked about the birthday prep, and random stuff till we reached SignPost at Paya Lebar. Walked around and bought our dinner (Subway) which was a bit too much considering that we had a lot of food for the birthday surprise. Then after buying dinner, Female Magazine (for Sarah mind you) and a rose (yes, it's for Sarah once again). Then we took a 135 to some backdoor of TKGS area, then we decided to walk to her house. Surprisingly, we were the first to arrive, so we sat down and enjoyed our dinner.
Later Matthew arrived. And we all ate our subway. Ohryte, i had a $1.50 bubble tea too.. I HATE PEARLS. ok, moving along, Mian and James arrived and the real prep began. We filled up Sarah's bean bag, started cooking (more on that later) and then we changed the decor in Sarah's room. Firstly, we just placed the bean bag on the floor with a poster and rose on her bed. Then it moved onto the bed, then the animals started coming onto the bed as well (the animals are soft toys). Then finally I put the chess set in the shape of a 25 on her bed too and we took pictures. Then we spammed her room with posters. Her table, aircon, mirror and piano got spammed too. Then we went to join the cooking ppl. Mian already had many things underway. Meatballs were being heated up, some Swedish bread with cheese was being spread by James and we.. well.. were just playing ard with the rest of the food.
Too bad i dun have pictures or i could better describe the food, but since I can't i'll jz go straight to the summary of what we did. We had a cheese/tomato pizza on Swedish bread, Swedish dessert of either sour cream and salmon or mozarella cheese and ham in a, erm, i dunno what u call it, a little packet? Haha.. my vocab for food is soooo bad. THen we had Swedish meatballs too! With ligenberry sauce (which is jam, I don't care what the Swede's think =p) Why all the Swedish food? Cuz we thought Singaporeans eat too little of international cuisine.....
Yeah ryte.. cuz Sarah's boyfriend is from Sweden and there's some Swedish food she likes, and there are some people who seem to be living under coconut shells that haven eaten at IKEA before. Hehe!!
Then we also had Sushi from Sakae cuz Jeremy likes Jap food. So yeah, we had lots and lots of food! Whee~~!!
Now for the surprise. Sarah already knew we were at her house. how boring ryte? Or so we thought, but we decided to surprise her anyway. So we switched off all the lights and her mom went to open the door. Then we hid at different locations in her living room and when she came in, we shouted surprise with the camera pointed in her face! Whee~~!! She screamed and i think we had it on camera. We sang happy birthday, cake candle blowing and all. Then we went upstairs to surprise Jeremy.
He was in the house since we got there, so once again we thought, not much of a surprise here. So... We went up with the lit cake anyway. His mom knocked on the door and he came to answer and we shouted SURPRISE! His response?
***SLAMM~~!!!***
He slammed the door in our faces from shock! Haha! Then he opened again and blowed the candle and all that... Of course he would be shocked cuz it's not his brithdya yet, his bday is only on the 25th, but still in November, so would be easier to celebrate now. 25th i'll be having exams the next day, but let's not talk about that. James had the door slamming incident on video though (=
Then we had food, and while everyone went down, I sneaked into Jeremy's room to spam his room with posters. He had one in his wardrobe, aircon, table, mirrow but he had one on his window too! Hehe. Then i went down and joined the party but halfway, Jeremy went upstairs to get something, and he saw his roo already.. no fun...
Then it was Sarah's turn and she had to take the birthday quiz first and she chose a passing mark of 10 out of 16. But she scared 13 out of 16... Too smart already.. So sad.. so she got to go to her room. She opened it and saw the bean bag. She thought we took her old one (blue colour) and gave it a new skin. -.-'''
Oh well, at least now she knows we got her a new one. Jeremy thought we got him a vibrating pen. It's actually a pen Massager from OSIM. Oh well, oh well, oh well, it really runs in the family i guess.
Moving along, we had a nice dinner and cake though i was too full from it. And then we had cell till 3.30 am. Haha! Pro ryte... we started around 1.30am.. Then some watched movie, while other settled to look at our own eyelids up close...
Ok, that's all for now, shall continue some other random time i dun feel like listening to the lecturer (if i've already listened to the lecture before)
Bye...
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAUN!!! 20 already man! Cheers!Labels: birthday, FX, James, Jeremy, Matthew, Mian, sarah, Shaun

# It's Dying
Hello once again. This is a very rare update.Sadly rare, but true. Why?Cuz I'm apparently occupied by nothing everyday. Nothing actually means, homework, slacking, eating, sleeping, pretty much my life at the moment, other than weekends. Cuz weekends rock.
So what has been going on in uni? I'll say nothing much. Lectures, tutorials, online tutorials.. etc..
More interesting stuff. EG1109 had a second quiz. It was rather hard, the first question. And the second question, it asks us to calculate how long two bars of aluminium and brass (one on top of another) should be if they have area ratios of 1:4 if they are to give the same compression as a combined aluminium and brass bar (same stacking) with area ratio 1:4.
Everyone (ok, those i think actually can answer the question) got 1 is to 2, while one got 2 is to 1 (lolz) while i got... 0.923 to 2.077. why on earth did i round off the figures in my calculations..
And the first question, well, at least i got the tipping condition correct, hopefully i'll get an S, if God decides to bless me, it could be an E! Think im quite safe from U.
Ok, so what else is up? Hmmm, actually before that, Thursday, i was actually studying for the EG test, I studied in the library till about 8pm plus.. (from 6 plus only lar..) then decided to have a McDonald's dinner. Announcement for all you people who eat Macs regularly, YOU ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF!
McSpicy Meal price outside = $6.20
McSpicy Meal price in NUS = $4.50
You got ripped off = $1.70
Which can almost bring someone out of extreme poverty. Not to mention for every 5 meals u eat in NUS, the savings itself can buy you a meal. So if u have a group of 6 friends (yes, hopefully u r not so sad that u dun even have 6 friends, if u don't try making friends with Ronald McDonald, he seems lonely) the bill can be split five ways if u eat in NUS.
Moral of the story? I love McSpicy meal (= Haha
Ok, moving along, i have lots of things to do this week. Let's see.. USP Essay on statistics and life... Prepare Cost of Discipleship week 6, Prepare pre-service prayer, complete lab on wednesday, practise programming for programming test...
It's a lot. Not to mention i have to facebook, youtube, MSN, gmail and Wookiepedia.
Oh, but there are exciting things coming up. Check out this two posters i designed... It's for CAMP INFACTION!!! YA Camp people..!! All the way in Batam, with the awesome Ps Jonathan. Im very excited. Can u feel the excitement? Of course u can't u're only reading a blog, u can't hear me screaming from where u are (times i wish i had Phildia's voice =p )
And also, is anyone free on the 15th of December? My church is having a Christmas food and fun fair. There will be lots of stuff going on, like carnival games, drama, dancing, FOOD, more food, Cookign demonstrations, lots of stuff to buy, and there will be charity drive and blood donation too! So if you are free, pls do contact me to get tickets. And even if you are not free, and u want to help out charities (we're supporting two charities in addition to the elderly living in Block 12 in Bedok) do buy some tickets and it willl be donated directly to the residents (=
Yes pls pls do help out if you can ya? It will be much much appreciated. Of course i will be there too, and im not too sure what i'll be doing on that day. And the youth are manning the games stalls, so.. hehe... come expecting crazy people doing crazy things! HAHAHA!!
ok, ok, cannot be too excited here.. ppl will start looking at me.. Yes, im blogging in Olive Cove in NUS.. good hting about having my own laptop! HEHEHE
Maths lecture in 20 minutes.. and me, i guess i'll go lar, although it;s not my lecture... cuz my lecturer... is.. rather.. ahem.... shall not comment..
U, however, are free to comment if you know him
Bye for now..
