Well, I thought I'd be able to post more often, but studying for my adolescent psych test and doing up my japan and singapore proposal took quite some time... Well I must say this semester my project groups aren't as efficient and collaborative as the previous semesters, leading to some undue stress. As usual, I'm my accommodating self, so just took majority of the work upon myself. Its no biggie! Well have finally finally finished getting all the trophies for GTA4 besides the downloadable content and multiplayer trophies of course. Can finally start on Assassin's Creed, which Aaron will of course be very excited about. :) Besides that have been watching Macross Frontier, which is an amazing anime imo. Not a big fan of all the series with mecha in them, but then Macross Frontier has really opened my eyes, and so I'm recommending it to all you other anime fans out there! Here's a pic. The main theme overriding the whole anime is the spirit of never giving up on y

Recently I've been thinking deeply about my alma mater, and sometimes I just don't know what to think. I'm proud of it, for creating people of good caliber, able to enter the workforce, be productive for Singapore, and also function extremely well in society. But on the other hand, I now find salient some evidence why some people sometimes hate us so much. The indifference, assumed higher moral standard, and the blatant disregard for the feelings of others are some of the things I've been observing from some (not all of course) of my peers, seniors and juniors. Sometimes even from myself. I don't know what to say... I've always been proud to be part of the family, but now I don't know. Sometimes what you experience just breaks your whole view and positive regard of a situation. Attitudes change... Well, on to more exciting stuff: my bros have bought FF13-2, and Daryl's now deeply engrossed with it, playing it continuously for some time. I'll probably

Hey guys I'm blogging from school... And every thursday seems rather rough... This week especially, with lots of things on my mind hmm... Mostly to do with church haha! Firstly teaching at SYC on Friday, then leading worship at YE on Saturday, and finally playing for worship on Sunday. I've long gotten used to doing many things in a row like this, but as I age my body and mind's capacity grows less and less. Am getting tired, mentally spent and spiritually involved so very often! Ecclesiastes 12:1 really got it right hahaha! Well, a good thing is that Valentine's Day is approaching, as well as the 6th month anniversary of my relationship with Van. Its been a great journey so far... One thing that I need prayer for is how to balance my own needs and hers at the same time. Carrying your own burdens is hard enough so its not difficult to imagine how difficult carrying the burdens - physical, mental and spiritual of two people is. Its tough, but I'm trying my best, and

Well, as the title says, its a new semester and a whole lot of new experiences I'm going through! I've made quite a lot of new friends in the tutorials that officially started this week (since last week was CNY week). Its another benefit of being new to certain modules. For example for my Japanese module... Cos I'm not taking with my previous cohort of people who've been taking Japanese with me all this while. So made quite a few new friends in Japanese tutorials, not to mention my other psych tutorials and my SS. Also met a few old friends... Eileen, Rui Xiong, Hyqel for example! Also met people like Dan and Shaun in school. :) So some updates on school life. Its gotten pretty hectic after my tutorials are added in. For odd weeks, things are relatively calm and easy going except for a 10-8pm day on Thursdays. For even weeks it gets slightly harder, when I have a 10-8pm day on Wednesdays as well. Also, its my first time having to rush from Utown to the Arts Faculty, and
