Journal #2

여러분! 안녕하새요?

This picture was taken yesterday, during the semifinal of the K-pop talent contest 2008 at VivoCity skypark. 

Considering that iVoice (harry, andy, michelle senjaya n me) was only been formed the previous 2weeks, I would think that it's already awesome that we were in the semifinal. Great job everyone, I really appreciate all the long hours of practice that we had almost every single day to prepare.. The fact that we managed to get through the audition means that we're already in the top 25% of the participants. 

And it really does more than just having fun together and forging stronger bonds. It shows that the 3 musketeers of nusLife really know how to have fun and perform beside mugging!!

For me personally, this experience tells me that God is too wise to be mistaken, and too good to be unkind. In retrospect, many things that I've attempted turned out not as I expected them to be. Yes, we may not have got in the final of this contest, but I'm glad that God has given me the chance to partake in it. I have many things that I want to achieve in life, and God has been faithfully guiding me along, showing me which things are for me and which were not. Left to myself, I'll chase everything and get lost in the process, not knowing what I actually want to pursue. In all, I'm glad that I could still acknowledge my being childish to God, but I know I need to grow up.

Today's message was about taking commitment. I must admit I was kinda lulled by the conviction that God is love and God is forever faithful and true, so that I kind of forget that any working relationship begs mutual commitment. And since God has shown his faithfulness to me, I think it's high time for me to be steadfast to him and his will. I don't want to forever be in a marathon where I say I love God on Sabbath and I love myself (I couldn't care less about God and his will) on the rest of the days. It's time to step up and grow up.

Entry #2

Today I woke up at 11 am. The result of watching online TV shows until 3am yesterday. (Yeah, I admit I still need my 7-8 hours of sleep..) 

Had my lunch at the residence food court, prawn and tofu (supposedly) hotplate, but the plate was nowhere near hot and the meal was not charred.. Well, anyways, that was what I find quite value-for-money, as the other stalls sell food at > 3 bucks. 

Back to my room, planned to do my maths tutorial, haven't printed the question paper yet. Oh well, I could do my Korean homework instead. Forget what was it about, well I can ask my friends around letter. So, more facebooking and customizing my blog. 

My Calculus will start in about 15 minutes and I'm still in my room typing this out. Hope I can make it there on time. I'll be having 6-continuous-hour lectures..  and will bunk in the School of Computing to finish up my robot project tonight.. Really wish I have a digital camera so I can take pictures with the robot kit.. >.<

I wish myself a good luck.. 

Lessons Learnt #1

@10am, ACC1002X - Financial Accounting

I'm not joking, I learn the followings during lecture..

1) To keep yourself alert, make sure your stomach consists one-third meal, one-third water, and one-third nothing.

2) The Accountant's Love Language:

I will credit my love, if you debit your love.

I'll record our romance in a journal,

then post it to the ledger of my heart.

I'll keep our love in an account,

based on double-entry,

to keep track whether the balance is debit or credit of my love for you

The trial balance shows that we add to each other

The adjusting entries keep us together

Closing entry is when we agree to get married

In a period of profit and loss, we should check our entries

Oh, so many babies..

The point is: Support Sg Government by procreating more.. haiz.. 

@12am, CS1105 - Computing and Society

--> It's ironical how we're often concerned about our privacy being intruded by our next of kins or friends, but easily give up privacy when we're online

@2pm, LAK120 - Korean 1

--> Made a script for the final project, that was fun. The first effective discussion I've ever had so far. Completed the full 15-minute skit script in English during the tutorial itself. Great work, Peiqi, XiaoYu and Ming2!! Now what's left is translating it to Korean.. Hahaha!

@4pm, CS1101S - Programming Methodology

--> It's still quite obscure. And I haven't started doing the problem set 4 which is due yesterday.. Oh my. Stuck at understanding the concept. Well, guess I need to speed up a little bit. Next problem set will be a robot project.. *doki2* Woo yeah! Guess it'll require a lot of logic.. Hope I can cope.

Actually there were more things that I wanted to write. but due to my SMR, I can't remember everything. Hope this suffices for now.
