Well, its clear I haven't been updating for quite a long time. Work business apart, on the whole life is just getting more and more packed. Of course, I must never forget the ongoing part that God plays in my life. Despite all these, distractions always and constantly try to wrest my attention away from spiritual things. Its indeed a busy world, especially in SMU, but not once can I forget about Him.

Work is getting along fine. For the first semester in SMU, I've been able to control my mugging tempo. I'm happy for that, yet I know my personal affinity to the bed. Still the research paper looms and that one is giving me a big data headache. I need to sort that out ASAP or EDA will be a lost cause.

Life goes on. Decisions will and have to be made. How they turn out is up to Him to decide. I believe that as long as I've put Him in the equation, things will turn out just alright, whether in a way I expect or not. The road ahead is gonna be bumpy, but I shall come out fine.

Eat You Up!
Eat You Up!

Was just popping by YouTube when I realized the MV for BoA's American Debut Song was up. Haha.. its interesting seeing BoA singing in English, but she has definitely improved a lot since she sang "Flying Without Wings" with Westlife. In my honest opinion, the song itself wasn't very nice, but I thought the dance was beautiful (not just her haha) and full of energy. She's really a fantastic dancer and as always, I can't wait for it to be released in Singapore. Hopefully she comes up with a better song though!

Anyways, I'm kinda taking a short break from mugging. I've two papers tml (Saturday) up till 8pm at night and I'm a little irritated by it. And I'm not too sure if I'm gonna do well. I think I understand the concepts very well, but when put into practice I can't tell. Hopefully everything will go fine tml. I don't really want my grades to fall this sem! A lot is hanging on this sem, even though its allowing me freedom to set whatever mugging benchmark I want. To some extent this is bad haha.. but I must admit I've never been one who aspires to be the top of the grade table and would rather substitute it for leisure (in economic terms).

Anyways Recess Week was pretty cool. Fencing, birthdays, good food, Party World and of course the SMU staple food mugging. The past few days have been a kind of rollercoaster ride, and I guess all in all I'm happy about it all. Lets finish the rest of the sem!

On a side note, upon checking aroud YouTube, I saw this "live performance" of M-Flo that featured BoA. Fantastic! Made me fall in love with the pair suddenly. Perfect chemistry!

Week 7
Week 7

And Week 7 is over, heralding the arrival of the much needed recess (rather study week), perfect chance to do whatever we want, yet forever constrained by the harsh need to mug for whatever papers and work for whatever projects that we have on hand. Nonetheless, the breather it gives, allowing people to wake up substantially later is much appreciated.

It was an overall good week, highlighted by the fact that I passed my driving test (thank God) on my first attempt, racking up 14 points, though I really think it should have been 12. Now all thats left is to find a decent and cheap car rental company so I can drive here and there to practice before I take on passengers. I know some have requested for me to be chauffeurs but that will have to wait till i'm confident haha. Its for your own good! My best wishes to those who are also taking the test later this month (Lawrence and Zelda). Good luck!

As I ponder how to balance the week ahead, I know I'd probably drift towards enjoying myself (simply cos I hate mugging). But the visits to the library will still go on, considering the tough requirements of the econs mods. Too much math le. And not to mention the horrible research paper I've left untouched for far too long. Indeed its time to work on it.

Now if only for once I function through the day feeling awake..

Happy birthday Gao Sheng! (If you come to my blog haha)
