Haha.. another set of updates! Its been another long delay. But life has been good so far. I thank God for all the blessings to far. This semester hasn't been as stressful as I thought it would. With one of my lessons down, I'm left with a 3 day week. 1 presentation down too, so i'm down to one more. Haha.. its ending.. soon, after this week, all that is left is to mug. Indeed, the only way to catch up with these super mugging dragon girls is to mug.

Me and my windsurfing mates were discussing what it was like studying in the old days. Indeed, we didn't know what was mugging. It was just attempting to finish homework. What was "did you do your work?" became redundant. Everyone did. Indeed, Singapore's efficient education system has turned students into machines and workers with the only goal of getting good results, not seeing anything else as they forge on to get results. In the end the dream is lost. In the papers recently, we see students neglecting humanities in order to score higher. I gave a chuckle. Even then, I had something of that idea. Taking subjects that had the highest possibility to score.

On a more relaxed note, I have really become superbly disappointed by Liverpool. While that does not reduce my love for them, its really sad when despite this season's team, they are back to thier old problems: inconsistency and weak finishing. Not to mention Rafa's seemingly oblivion to the errors he is committing. Perhaps he does have faith in his wierd rotation system.

Spoiler Alert! Bleach has taken another interesting twist in the manga! Haha.. Kenpachi! Actually he is easily my favourite character in the series. Inhumane power. Funny to boot. Honto-ni Akuma desu ne! Madness..

Yup, while I indulge myself in a few more minutes of manga reading (Kenshin! Grin), its back to presentation work.. haha.. on with the SMU, or more accurately the Singaporean life..

Once again, a wide gap to bridge between my last post haha.. clearing the cobwebs up at this point of time. A synopsis to my current life:

Mid Terms are over.. the horror! Mugging sure doesn't help! I'm happy I didnt mug much.. I got called to be a project chairman in my CCA TriTouch. Haha more responsibilities, but the people there are really chatty and funny, unlike boring me.. I've seen another death, and I think its made me grow up a little. More presentations and exams over the horizon.. Time to kick up the gear.. And a new game! Back to slaying monsters! And the marathon.. Help!

Looking back, I think so many things really could happen in such a short span of time. It makes me wanna go out and enjoy life more. Reading the book of Ecclesiastes just reminded me of what is really important in life, much more than academics or success. Life is indeed short.

Going through an emotional downturn doesn't help much either.. shall not comment further, but I think its really a challenge to keep the facets of your life together when some parts are falling apart. Do you work to keep it from falling or should you just give up and focus on whats left? Personally I hate giving up.. thats what brought me through army, to see the good even in the green (blue for me) life of NS.

I pray each day for a guiding light.. for a way to come out of it unscathed..

And to my dear, all the best for your A levels! Jia You..
