Wicked Junior
Being in the midst of exams suck big time. I want to blog about so many other things, but this nagging headache that I'm getting every single night is just killing my aptitude for writing (if there was any in the first place).
On a brighter note, got a letter from the ministry this afternoon, wanting me to justify my application for an award. Hmmm... A dawn of a better future I hope!
For those who have spare brain juices, try this site that I found. You have to solve these puzzles and stuff. Intriguing!

When God Ran...
Almighty God,
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock,
Omnipotent powerful
Victorious Warrior
Commanding King of Kings
Mighty Conquerer,
And the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home,
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered if
Things could ever be the same,
Then one night,
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
It's the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me,
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise, He brought me to my knees
Humble yourself, and run to the Father, just as He waits for you to return to Him. Remember that He'll always love you, Prodigal Son.

I remember...
I just finished a real good chat with an old friend. It's amazing how work and school just piles up on you and you tend to forget or neglect those who are close to you.
I guess I'm just the kind of guy that really value friendships. And being down when these friendships dissipate when you try and concentrate on too many things instead of looking at the more valuable things in life.
I'll always treasure my friends. Come what may. I'll always remember them.

I think Ling is sick -bleah-
So here I am, sitting at my desk, poring through pages and pages of Adolescent Psychology notes, trying to make head and tail out of it all. Who would have thought that an adolescent could be made out to be an angel, a victim, and a devil. Dude, they (or should I add, we) are mighty screwed up!
And lying on my comfortable bed, is Ling whom I suspect (for that matter, I DO KNOW) has a bad case of lack of proper sleep. Poor girl is fretting over her not getting the job that she wants and the fact that she has to graduate this semester.
No worries, I have volumes of Southpark and The Simpsons to cheer her up!
Host: What was the stupidest thing that he said?
Els: Do you want to walk home...
Applause From Audience
Host: What was the best thing that she has ever said?
Me: Ok...
And so our journey began, and still in the making...

Singtel Wireless Surf
So here I am at Starbucks Orchard surfing on the wireless internet interface whilst waiting for Ling to finish her dose of cardio in the gym. Kinda cool... Ha!
In anycase, I think exams are really getting to my head. I'm finding myself asking all kinds of questions, albeit to myself, in the bath, and strategizing how to answer them as concisely as possible, given my limited knowledge.
Looks like I'm having a ball!

Headaches and Marital Pinings
Waking up too early for the last 2 days have finally taken its toll. Woke up with a aching neck, and before I knew it, I had developed a throbbing headache. It's like HIV leading to full blown AIDS (I don't really understand this analogy, but you get my drift of one thing leading to another).
Took a LONG nap (something like 3-4hrs) and still was on a high when Ling and myself headed downstairs to get lunch. -Sigh- Think I should cut down on coffee? Tried to go without my caffeine load this morning, but I guess once an addict always an addict. Didn't get any studying done, but will try better this evening.
Managed to do laundry. Correction: Ling did my laundry for me...
If this is any sign of matrimonial division of labour, I kinda love it. Recently, many have assumed that we are getting hitched and married in the not too distant future. Although it can be kinda intimidating, I'm relishing what the future holds for the both of us. And when the time comes, I have to be strong and we have to be strong together.
Here's to future marital bliss...
How do I tell you how I feel about you?
When
everytime I think of you my body shakes
everytime I see you my knees grow weak and
everytime I'm with you I dont want the time to end.
When
everytime I look into your eyes, I wish I was there
everytime I see you smile my heart melts and
every night before I go to sleep I pray we don't end.
I've tried somehow to say:
you're the sun that lights up my sky
the wind that keeps me cool on a hot summer day
and sweet incense that keeps me on a natural high
I want so much to tell you:
that without you with me each day my day isn't complete
that since day one I've always wanted to be with you
that no matter what's going on in my life
you're the reason there's a smile on my face
and that loving you seems to be all I need to know.
But everytime I want to
the exact words just won't come out
for everytime I want to say it
new confessions of this love keeps flowing out.
Then to try to tell you exactly what's on my mind
yet I wish to tell you that I'm beginning to
love you more with each passing of the day
and that I want to be with you
come whatever may.

YouTube.com
Just found this website... YouTube.com. Apparently it's some video sharing portal (ok I admit, I'm slow when it comes to discovering novel websites). There is Southpark, MTVs, you name it, they have it!
Just a peek of what you would expect at the site (I'll post more when I get fresh stuff):

Caffeine and Death...
Too much caffeine in your system really screws you up! After 4 (or maybe 5) cups of coffee in my attempt to study for my upcoming exams, my body is especially jittery, I'm on an extreme high (nope, these are not due to the exams), and going for a cardio session doesn't seem to be that bad an idea (those who know me well enough will know that I usually shudder at this suggestion).
In anycase, read the newspapers this morning and found out that Arroyo has decided to commute those serving a death sentence to life imprisonment (for the complete news article, click here). And as expected, victims of heinous crimes are enraged. Who doesn't want to see perpetrators pay for their deeds?
Recently, there has been much debate about the ongoing use of corporal punishment, with Singapore in mind. Personally, I think that if corporal punishment is used with the function of deterrence in mind, it should be enforced and practiced. Reason? Well, it definitely serves as vivid punishment for would-be criminals. I mean, isn't that the reason why most perps are thinking twice before smuggling drugs into Singapore, and therefore effectively preventing drugs to be readily available on the streets unlike some countries (for more information on the Misuse of Drugs Act, click here).
Singapore has come under international scrutiny with regards to her insistence in keeping to corporal punishment. But these laws, coupled with other strict legislations that makes Singapore one of the premium destinations for work, business and leisure internationally.

Study Study Study...
I'm finding it extremely difficult to concentrate on my revisions. It's just so dreary. But a man's got to do what a man's got to do...
I promise all this will change when the new week comes along...

Apple G4 17" Powerbook
And so I got my new Apple G4 17" Powerbook. After tinkering with it for the last 2hrs (yes... I know that supposed to study, etc etc... but allow me to indulge for a moment) I've finally managed to set up new accounts, migrate information... the entire works. Love it! I promise to redo this site once I get the hang of iWeb.
The library is getting kinda noisy again. Which part of L-I-B-R-A-R-Y do they not understand? Dude! I'm trying to concentrate on doing up my new toy and at the same time making sense of the damn notes that I have in front of me!
In any case, with exams round the corner, I can't help it but feel a sense of trepidation. Call it exam stress syndrome or whatever. Seems that I need to pee every half hour or so. Sucky!
And now, back to my work... well... at least Ling is here with me.

Anger Management
I seriously think I've an anger management problem. What's worse, I think that it has exacerbated to enormous proportions recently. It's just that things really irritate me easily sometimes. Correction, the littlest things irritate me often times.
Thing is, it affects Ling and it sucks.
Have to keep this monster in check. Same goes to all my other evils.

Getting out of Control!
The entire week has been shit. Deadlines after deadlines just about took over my life! This sucks, since I'm not usually the kind that allows situations to take over my being. Damn! And when I thought that everything was over and done with, exams are just about to creep up on me. I'm drained. And things happening everywhere just ain't helping much. It's kind of ironical when the people that are really in the family aren't really family. Go figure...
In any case, there are times when I feel like Jon Arbuckle. I know that I'm secure emotionally and stuff, but when peeps start dissing about the way I look even though I put in shitloads of effort, it really gets me down. What's worse is when I've a competitive edge in me. I think I'm getting angrier and angrier, and I just don't know why. I'm trying my best to curb it, but it seems that I need to focus my energy on something. It used to be swimming, bball or gym, but I don't know what works anymore. Figure that the exams are really getting the better of me.
Thank goodness and God that I'm not alone. Ask me a few more times 'what's wrong?' and I'll break down I tell you... But I'd rather break down in front of you than anyone else. Sometimes, I feel like a damn pussy!
But hey! Everyone has his/her moments!
Take it easy, Keep it real...
