university life
its been a month n a half since school started...seriously. i think jc life rocks. maybe it was cuz my jc life was so fulfilling and so enjoyable, everything else just pales in comparison. didnt bother to go to orientation. didnt bother to join a cca. there's just no time for anything and everything. we spend everyday studying and doing tutorials or revision. dont recall me ever being so hardworking in my life. still, uni is enjoyable in its own little way. the independence we have is one of the plus points. the rest of the plus points? heh. havent discovered them yet. caught up with a few friends recently. really miss all of them. especially all my teammates. we used to spend every day training together. now some of them are halfway around the world. okae maybe like one-quarterway around the world. life is kinda depressing without friends. thank God for msn and email :)
2 people i cherished passed away recently. is there pain of loss? of course. life is really as fragile, if not more fragile than we think. we ourselves are fragile, nothing without God's strength. there's nothing we can do to stop it from ebbing away, the person becoming a memory in our mind. i hope i never get Alzheimer's. i want to remember everyone for the rest of my life.

d-day is here.
the phrase or should i say word 'd-day' was coined from the korean drama i finished watching recently..full house :) (starring Rain & Song Hae Gyo) :) aniwae im using it to describe the impending doom that is going to descend on all of us new freshmen as matriculation begins for nus this week. sigh. it's time to move those lazy butts off the couch and prepare for a new phase of study in our lives. signed up for the Standard Chartered 10k run over the weekend..am i mad? not really. just sick and tired of becoming less fit...my goal is 60min and below...approx 3 more mths..jiayou jiayou jiayou! :)

sth from Matthew Henry's commentary i learnt during QT:
The more we do in the Lord's service, the greater are our obligations to him, for the will, for the ability, and opportunity. In many things God leaves us to fix what shall be spent in his service, whether of our
time or our substance; yet where God's providence has put much into a man's power, scanty offerings will not be accepted, for they are not proper expressions of a willing mind. Let us be devoted in body and soul to his service, whatever he may call us to give, venture, do, or suffer for his sake.

IM BAAAACK!
hmm havent blogged in ages..a little bird has started complaining so here i am...it's been wad 6months? rather lazy to put stuff up here la...to everyone who doesnt already know... im starting uni soon...looking forward to it or not? dont know really... kinda rusty to this expressing my feelings thing after so long...starting sketching sum stuff recently...copying simple drawings frm the Mr Men series (cus really, i CANT draw complicated stuff, they come out funny)...been pondering recently over the idea that many pple say left-handers are the creative sort who can use their right brain for music, art, blah...how come im not really like that? ive been stuck at stuff that's on the other extreme end...
in sec sch, i loved geog...hated history..but both are arts subjects...so i guess i was still neutral...attempted to draw stuff when i was even younger..i could always imagine the most beautiful things..yet when i picked up my pencil to start drawing..everything would come out wrong..so i never looked back at art again...in jc, i was a science student through and through...apart from listening to all kinds of music, there was nothing musical about me. i gave up piano when i was halfway thru grade one..hheh..guess i was just not interested...now..i dont know man..but i guess i still like baking (is that common for a creative left-hander?) and i like art and craft...even put together my own art n craft box during sec4..had this crazy thought during uni applications that i could try applying for architecture..where did that come from? hah..but i guess since God has opened up the door for me to pursue science i'll follow His will. will i become a forensic scientist and further my studies overseas? or will i join some art-related club or society in the u? oh! but i realised i can match colours n stuff...is that considered creative? im hoping that studying science is not 'rotting' my brain...and making me lose the creative side of me..save me! oh well...im blabbering..until next time... :)
