Sorry if posts have been rather sporadic the past few times. This semester's work load is considerably higher than previous, as I'm taking 4 core modules. Thankfully, now the only things that are left are my food and health assignment and my statistics report. Whittled down from almost approximately 12 projects and presentations I've had to make or do this semester. An update on the social psych project that I've just recently finished: we did immensely well, being awarded more bonus marks than the other groups (according to the lecturer at least), and for that I thank God. One of the segments of the presentation involved impromptu recall of previous concepts learnt (the lecturer kinda dropped a bomb on all of us suddenly), but then our group handled it very professionally and it ended off very well! Thanks be to God, he's the one who's always been in control! It was the talent for thinking quick on my feet that He gave me that helped us through that one. Today

I've found a new anime to watch! And its one of those that I've been looking forward to. =) My PS2 game Persona 4 is being turned into an anime, so I've started watching it, and though I know the storyline already, its nice seeing it animated, and the battle scenes showcased. Its the midst of O levels already, and the first major paper has gone by. I must say I think Vanessa handled the first one well from what I heard from her. Though she was a little afraid that she'd made a mistake on the entrophy being positive or negative, she answered it correctly so I assured her of that. Also, she's begun looking toward the future, to what she'd like to do and study, reading up on all the application details and things like that. I like the sense of responsibility that I'm observing in her. =) Besides that, term is drawing to a close, with only 4 weeks of studying left. I've got 3 more projects due: A social psych one - writing a children's storybook with con

Recently I've been finding driving people around to be quite a joy, especially people from church. Providing for their needs makes me feel that I'm utilizing my gifts and talents in a positive way, for the sake of others. However this week, after a long time of driving only, I took the train to church on Sunday and to Bugis on Friday to celebrate Mel's birthday. I must say I still don't really like public transport, which is rather stifling and discomforting. Have begun on my next anime, Vampire Knight. A suggestion from Vanessa that I've kept in mind for watching for quite some time. Obviously, its about vampires and a special school for them, with normal students attending the day class, and vampires attending the night class. Haven't gone too deeply into it, so looking forward to more action! Here's a pic. The main character Yuuki in the foreground, and leader of the vampires Kaname to the left and her close friend Zero to the right. This week I've go

And so one of the toughest weeks so far I've had in school has passed, with 3 tests, a presentation, and a preparation for an experiment all completed. Its time for some good old R&R, and a whole lot of rest. Spent a couple of late nights working everything out, but I guess its paid off in a way. Apologies for not keeping up the posting every Monday. So a couple of highlights over the past week: the 3 tests were rather smooth sailing and weren't as difficult as I thought it was. In fact I've already gotten the results for my abnormal psychology test back, and I've scored a 41/50, which I'm pretty satisfied with. Besides that, I've been working hard on a presentation that was exceptionally difficult, as the combined presentation with all 4 of us has to last 95 minutes, including discussion time for the class. I was rather stressed by that and spent quite some time reading the article I was presenting on and working on the slides. It went magnificently well in
