This Week was...Interesting

To say the least.

From the rugby finals on Monday to the Pines/American Club on Friday, this week has been one of the most eventful I've had this year. On a side note, why is it interesting when the air con gets blocked? Because e vent full. Okay shoot me, I couldn't resist.

In light of certain recent developments, we need to give a huge shout of thanks to the Old Man Upstairs (and I'm not referring to Mr Jones). What can I say, "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him"- Romans 8:28.

While those around me have been lavishly enjoying themselves this week (Ice Cream Week -hackcough-), I have been a true blue guaikia and actually bothered to catch up on work, even to the point of starting on stuff that I know I won't have time to do later on. Cao has declared me the team nerd, which is ironic considering my general I'd-rather-be-bitten-tenderly-by-an-old-man attitude towards some of my work.

Ah well, chem prac calls ^^

A Crazy Little Thing Called OM

Well, I've practically driven myself to exhaustion the past couple of weeks. See, this is why I need a car.

Last Saturday was OM nationals. It was saddening not to win, I shan't deny that. Especially on hands-on spontaneous (which I sat out of). But still, I believe that God has blessed us tremendously these past couple of months, and there's no reason why we shouldn't still be thankful for that. "To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue", says Proverbs 16:1. It's all yuan fen, and I'm sure there's a Long-Term purpose for it all.

To my teammates, it was and is an honour to be able to eat, sleep and live OM with you guys. Keep your heads up, yes. (if you're emo eat ice cream, eh yeang)

If the winners ever read this, (this sounds way ego but) you had to be some kind of good to beat us. All the best for whatever you do (:

Have fun and go read everyone else's blogs for the full story hehe.

Campaign sounds like OBS for French kids

It does, doesn't it.

It's been eons since I last posted. For this I blame the piles of work that await my return from school at 10.30 pm every night. I bet OM shortens your life, and not just because of the paint fume intoxication. Am feeling lazy to talk about OM life for now, so if you want to find out more go look at Jeremy's blog. I'm sure the superhero keeps a regular record.

Anyway, last week was Student Council campaigning. Rather belatedly I have to admit, allow me to come up with some campaign slogans that are never going to work. As far as I know, I came up with these on my own, so if they happen to resemble anything you're familiar with, please don't hold it against me.

1. Vote for me if you like complex numbers!
2. A vote for me is a vote for free newspapers!
3. I want to be CEO

On a more serious note, I'll admit that campaigning was kinda fun, albeit being tiring and pointless at times. I guess it depends how enthusiastic you want to be about the whole thing.

Good Friday coming soon. Do take time out to reflect on why this Friday's good. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

Okay off to do random things with the guitar.
