Another Full Circle

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who cannot read them."
- Mark Twain (1835-1910)
"The truth is more important than the facts."
- Frank Lloyd Wright (1868-1959)
"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing."
- Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977)
"There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."
- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

My Internet is being a retard so here I am typing… might as well churn out an entry right?
Yes, I know its been more than a week… please don’t give me that look…

Summary of events:
WWS School programmes
U.O.L. revision lecture: E.S.A.P.
Local revision lectures: E.S.A.P. + M.M. + M.S.M.
Studying
Trying to get rest
Went for training at S.I.M. on Wednesday.
Sessions with Uncle Jimmy and Fulin.
Politics and utter rubbish.
S.I.M. T.K.D. B.B.Q. @ E.C.P.

Coming full circle at S.I.M.
Yes, it has been 3 years. And finally the black is here.
If you get what I mean.
Then again, if you have been following my exploits, you would know what I am talking about.
It is something akin to that walk I took during the grading at Kovan in January.
I endeavor to keep the good and forget the bad.
So yes, let me just say that it was a good day.

I had to rush down to Kovan on my own, coz Sir was not able to come down to S.I.M. Grand total of one and a half hours it took me to get from Clementi to Kovan. Yuck… tired, injured and well… you know the drill…
Checked on Uncle Jimmy and Fulin before having dinner at White Tangerine.
They are shaping up good.
I am all confidence in them :)
At least I know that when it comes to the day itself, they would have put it their all. And I know that I have also done my best for them as well.
The rest is in God’s hands.

White Tangerine is slowly, but surely, becoming one of my haunts.
Hahah… I like the atmosphere and the family who runs the place.
Rather homely environment.
The prices ain’t too bad either.
Hence, my ‘floating’ around that venue.
-psychotic laughter-

Studying’s picking up in pace.
Not up to my expectations though… still lacking but I will get there… slow and steady?
Maybe… but I think the slow part might have to be scrapped if I am not careful enough. X.xlll

More weird things taking place…
My six sense is ding-donging, bing-bonging all over the place. Can be a tad hard to handle sometimes… but give all to God ya?

Getting ready for the weekend.
Much to do.
Another marathon awaits.
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
-does the dance of joy-
He is in charge. :D

Aight… that does it for now.
I just finished a marathon today… need to rest my mind, body and spirit before the next one… ha
Study hard guys~!

Hit my head

"If you were plowing a field, which would you rather use? Two strong oxen or 1024 chickens?"
- Seymour Cray (1925-1996), father of supercomputing
"#3 pencils and quadrille pads."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when asked what CAD tools he used to design the Cray I supercomputer; he also recommended using the back side of the pages so that the grid lines were not so dominant.
"Interesting - I use a Mac to help me design the next Cray."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when he was told that Apple Inc. had recently bought a Cray supercomputer to help them design the next Mac.
"Your Highness, I have no need of this hypothesis."
- Pierre Laplace (1749-1827), to Napoleon on why his works on celestial mechanics make no mention of God.
"I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need."
- Francois-Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues

Summary of events since I last posted:
Hit my head, hard. (While trying to dodge a cyclist on the footpath.)
Had the first of my local revision lectures: ESAP.
Sparked off my interest in The Phantom of the Opera again.
Visited my Ian. Love him to bits! :D
Studying… picking up the pace… slowly… gah… gotta move faster~
Was a facilitator for Wired-to-Win @ N.T.C. on 18th March.
5 pairs of my disposable contact lenses tore. Good thing I checked them. Bleah…
Went for youth service, been more than 2 years since I attended.
Got started on a WWS project. :)
Signed myself up for the 2 WWS camps – Camp Coordinator!
Headless chicken.

Well, that would be as quick a summary I can come up with.
Been learning a lot of things lately.
I guess you could call them life skills… but sometimes I donno if they are a real reflection of what life is going to be like in the future.
Want to say ‘yuck’ – yeap, I just did that…

The chronic/serial planner strikes again… fretting about this and that.

Getting myself depressed over some stupid things… some people are just not worth the time in the end. It is more a matter of being disappointed in the end I guess.
I got to release forgiveness and indulge in forgetfulness ya?
God’s will shall be my own.
Not easy at all… but it shall be done…

The joy of the Lord is my strength!
Let the revision/mugging/madness/studying continue~

Apologies for the lag in posting… so many things have been happening… the good, the bad and the so sad – that I find myself crying myself to sleep at times.
I’ve had my share of wonderful times.
Thank God for those.
But even with the not so nice times, I still have to believe that all things happen for a reason.

The prelims are finally over.
Ending on a high note :)
I made sure that there was consistency in everything… so it shouldn’t be too bad. I hope.
Did a plenty of ‘smoking’ this year. Especially for the MM and CF papers… the joke was that I ‘smoked’ so much that I would die of cancer. *choi!*
-hysterical laugther-

Summary of events:
Prelims over!
Auntie Margaret’s funeral.
Underwater World Pig-nose ‘baby-sitting’.
Hanging out with the WWS youths :D – awesome afternoon!
Studying… or at least trying my best… I’m happy that the pace is picking up
Made my second trip to Haborfront… hahaha... walked around the place with Edwin being my ‘dao you’. Thanks Edwin!
Been taking photos like a maniac… and I LOVE IT! :D
Had ‘the talk’ with Elsie jie… so glad we had that conversation. Puts a lot of things in perspective. :)
I’ve got a lot of rearranging to do. Commit all to God. Put Him first.
Bought a Rascal Flatts album: Me and my Band. – LOVE IT! Totally rocks!
Met up with Yingz! Gosh how I miss her!
Talked to Grace… been ages… glad to know she’s doing ok…
Sweet Sista-hood! My girlfriend is the bestest! ;)
Watching Hana Kimi… hahahah… I’ve got the manga and now watching the show…hehe… so cute~!

Ok… I am trying out the new google-blogger picture uploading thing… donno if it will work… this picture will might be the only one I ever upload… coz my policy is that this blog is meant for writings and exclusively that… I’ve got a separate photosite for all my pictures anyway ;p

Had to go back to my optician to get my spects fixed. Actually, she replaced the entire frame for me :)
I ran into one of my JC teachers on the bus whilst on the way home.
Got a rough sketch of what I wanna do once I finish the EXPENSIVE papers.
Hope that all goes well.
I have peace knowing that God’s in charge of my life. :D

I would love to post the lyrics to all the songs I love at the moment… but in doing that, I might as well post the whole lyrics list of my Rascal Flatts album!
-laughs out freakingly loud-

Parveen!

Marcus!

Yang Mui!

Wanna meet up for study session?
Heehee… then again, I think if we meet up… no studying would get done…
-psychotic laughter-

All the best for Wednesday!
I have faith in you!
