hmm... test y'day was bad man... i didnt know how to do!! haha.. i think im not going to make it... every once in a blue moon, i'll fail some.. the moon is blue this time.. haa! anyway, on the bluff myself side, its only 10% of overall grade.. oh welll.. hee...
anyway, despite not my unfinished but due today assignment and totally not touched on revision for mid sem test on sat.. haa.. i went for hogs breathe with my mum! yummy yummy yummy!!! eat 2 steaks and one big dessert - our bills came up to $57 some cents, which i think is pretty cheap compared to sg's price! hee... mummy's leaving, so she's treating me to nice food mah.. so sch work can wait.. haa...
tat's why its 3am liao and im still awake now.. 1stly cos i overate and its keeping me awake.. haa.. den also cos i gan giong abt my assignment liao. it's a long story but the summary is i ended up discovering that i have not writen enuff... my guide is 1500 words plus another 5 pages, but now i only have 1212 and 8 other page.. the crux i think is meeting 1500 words, not 5 pgs la.. so im in shit mess... but its 3am liao, so im just going to leave it as it is ba.. actually its not done yet.. i still gotta go library to find some stuff to finish it up before handing in tmr... which means i would end up having more than 1212 words, or LESS.. :s
u see, u cant get back to being a smart student after u have not been a student for so long.. haha... i should have came here to teach or something... haha..!

good nite debbie
moving on
mid sem is approaching... next week's i've got 2 mid sem exams and one assignment to hand in already... all making me a little nervious. i've stopped studying like 1.5 yrs ago already, its kinda hard to get back to being a student... i not even sure if i know anyway, haha... its not tat i know, or don't know, i just don't know if i know... and the thing wif exams... i prob had my last exam like 3.5 yrs ago... cos dip in marketing in tp is all project based, we dun do exams.. there were mid sem tests too, but its the kind of thing that i dun give enuff attention to.. haha!
bday's passed one week already... but im still getting bday cards and presents! haha... thanks to billy, my gal frens, my family... and one special bday card came from an aussie fren i got to know in qut christians - cos i run into her on the 12th and her being ang mo will ask "hows ur day"... i said fine, and said its my bday! yea, den this tues she passed me a bday card and wrote some things in it.. i tot it was very sweet...
my family gave me a card that has a recording function that you can playback, but on the playback, it jus sounds like noise.. ha! dad wrote "malcolm sang and spoilt the song. how can?" - which i tot is really funny... da jie said "you were not born in the zoo, i know cos i was there" - haha! according to er jie, malcolm didnt ruin the recording, daddy was the one who was screaming... haha..
persis, kim, nic, karen and elaine sent me a teddy who holds a piece of cake and on the cake it has a candle. its really cute! the candle even has the "string", the one to light fire on. yea, but its part of the teddy so obviously it cant be lit. a card together wif it..
billy made necklaces for me! yea, he made them! tats so cool... and of cos wif a card that made me teared... hee... sweet... :)
dang dang dang-dang!
jus saw yasmine's wedding photos sneak preview... weddings sound so exciting! i cant empathesize why pple wld say weddings are a chore or a drag.. "so many things to do, juz sign a paper la" kind of attitute... tats... insulting... juz by seeing frens wed, i feel that air of happiness ard.. who looks at wedding photos not smile at them? who heards of a couple being newly wed and gives a face? if u do, u need to be more passionate abt life and love man!
the yoked cannot be with the unyoked - so true to that, and not just to marriage - how many of you feel like u don't completely belong wif ur non-believing frens becos values are diff? i do... but that doesnt mean that i dun make frens wif unbelieving frens la... just to me, the r'ship is not the same... but if friendship is like this already, wat more about a guy-gal r'ship...
saw more babies medical surviving stories today again... babies born wif blood clotting in the brain, premature, lacking with one bone in his arms... who can look at suffering baby and think "oh he will get thru it" and think that cool-ly? juz watching tv, i feel like crying... if that's MY baby, i cannot take it...
but all this reminds me once more about passion. not to just go thru life and its stages, but to go thru life passionately! not take things for granted... what does having life in Jesus means - not just in the next life, but the current life on earth. It means sooo much! it means hope and passion! why does mel gib name his film "passion of christ" and refer it the the cruxifixtion?
badly organised massive thoughts i have.. haha...
dang dang dang-dang!!
cheap slippers vs havaianas
how many times have i been fooled by the cheap-po ways and still how many times did i refuse to not not fall into that same trap? Countless.
In the last trip to Thailand wif billy, we bought cheap rubber slippers for ourselves... really dirt cheap like converted to be less than S$3 per pair... compared to my expensive havaianas (whose price cannot be named! ha..), that's HUGE savings...
but i didnt start wearing the cheap slippers till i came to brissy. after days of wearing it, the part inbtw my big toe and second long toe is kinda sore now lor.. juz now i almost had a feet cramp while crossing the road... arghh... cheap slippers for cheap quality... havainas on the other hand, has no such problems... and are so far absolutely comforty... :)
well, i still like my cheap slippers - but only cos i bought it together wif billy and he as matching pairs.. hee!
juz need to complain...

bday present from bdayalarms - haha, a stupid personality reading thingy...
Section 1: The Inner You: Your Real Motivation
At heart you are very gentle, impressionable, and receptive -a dreamer. The world of your imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to you as anything in the outer world, though you may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting your inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, you have a rich inner life, though you may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. You usually keep to yourself.
Section 2: Mental Interests and Abilities
Outspoken and direct, you are always eager to express your ideas and opinions and don't mind opposing the consensus and stirring up a little controversy. You have fresh, original ideas and much enthusiasm for anything new and untried, but once the novelty has worn off, you are interested in another new idea or project. You never seem to have enough time to do all you want to. You are very honest, speak decisively and convincingly about things you believe in, and are unable to pretend to agree with someone if you honestly don't. You may be somewhat deficient in tact.
insec-terminator
More of my grossy insect adventure yea... Today i successfully removed a long dead and dried up lizard that was stuck in a sticky tape right above my BED! Yucks! Yucks! Yucks! Yucks! Yucks! Yucks!!!!!!
so u see, beside my bed is a security door thing (for me to escape out of the house in case of fire or watever), so to cover up or maybe is for beautifying (but i really dun think it's very beautiful), my landlord place a huge piece of cloth over it, and there's like lacy curtain thingy on top of the cloth so that it looks better (to him - not me). so the lacy curtain thing dropped down and when mother and i looked up this morning, yucks, the very dead lizard was there, stuck in the sticky tape that used to stick up the lacy curtain...
i tried to use my insect garget to get rid of it, but the thing get stuck to the tape too.. so in my desperate attempt, i juz tore the whole stretch of sticky tape out, together with the lizard, and threw that thing far away from my unit.. YUCKSS!
To keep everything looking like how the landlord intented it, i juz taped the lacy curtain back using my own masking tape.. haha! i dun think he'll notice... :P
Children - Our hope for Tomorrow!
Watched TV on amazing medical stories tonite... Having babies is really such a daunting experience... The show featured a little girl with mutated chromosomes resulting in smaller than dwarf features. She's like really tiny! her body alone is as as big as the palm of the doctor - and she's already 3 years old! And there was another boy who when given birth to, his intestines were outside of his body. Well, the boy had to undergo surgery immediately after birth, and surgeries after that and he's alive and healthy now, and normal.
reminds of me bio class in SAC, when ms wee told us the shocking facts that genes mutation is a very easy and only by chance occasion. Therefore meaning to say that chances of having a normal baby vs a not normal baby is just 50-50! That being, classifying babies as "normal" like the regular u and me, and "not normal" like being blind, deaf, dwarf, retarded. But the world's statistics shows that the normal population is sooo much more than the not normal population, and all this, we owe to God's Grace and Mercy.
reminds me also of friends i've known who cannot have kids due to various reasons, and friends who have kids that they don't want to have. reminds me of who unmarried pple who daydream abt the names of their future children, and pple who claim that they rather have dogs than children.
I think to be able to conceive is already such an amazing blessing, but to give birth to a normal child is lots and lots of abounding blessings! To my young mind (yes, i think im still quite young), having a children is too much to bear! It's daunting, man.... But one day, when im ready, i wanna bravely embrace it!

"All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work." 2 tim 3:16-17
and since all scripture is inspired by God, then the bible as good as the very breath of God, and whenever we speak of it, we teach it, we preach it, we obey it, we are not listening, listening to the very breath of God! I think tat is awesome! it's a very intimate gesture, like to a friend or someone/ anyone close! God is so real all the time! it's a very encouraging reminder... :)
That, i got out of bible study today after lecture! joined the QUT-Christians (QC in short) group today - they're an in-campus christian grp who meet in the daytime on weekdays and inside the uni. i think it's good this way, cos it's more convenient. and everybody's from diff churches, unlike the unicell or CCM.. But this grp is largely ang mos.. so the 1st step to join them was quite arkward, but thank God i picked up some guts to jus go and sit beside someone and ask, for the sake of it - hee, "is this the bible study?" and the answer was obviously yes, so i juz continued siting there. haha... they had the bible study on the grass patch under a hug tree beside the goodwill bridge.. haa.. ya, funny place to imagine, and def not somewhere i would usually sit, but i juz did anyway.. i wanted to try a diff culture after all... so i sat and allowed ants to crawl on my feet... :s Ya, but i wasn't bitten, i juz kept killing them whenever i caught them.. haa...
The sun is too hot!! it's making me sick... started with a sore throat, leading on to a flu... ooo... today is much better than y'day... i felt more sick yesterday... den drank like 3.5 litres of water... slept earlier.. today im a good fellow again! haha...
