No quizzes, no assignments, no project deadlines and no presentations this week BUT i am drained and exhausted as my week comes to its timely halt once again. It's my FYP that took so much time and sapped so much of my energy this week... For the uninitiated, my Final Year Project is on the In vitro Degradation of biodegradable polymer films. This is the second consecutive night I spent in my laboratory preparing the samples for the project - 360 in all in separate 10ml bottles! But I thank God for a helpful mentor, great FYP mate and a friendly lab tech who made my progress smoother. When there seems to be no way, God provided a door! Made a few screw ups but managed to salvage something (i hope...) by the grace of God! I am zombified right now!! Talking about zombies, I caught the sneak preview of Resident Evil Extinction last friday and it rocked (for most parts at least!) Talking about rock, i'm gonna catch my favourite Asian rocker, Zhang Zhen Yue, tmr in NTU for his campus concert!

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
For disco fans out there, the tune for this kickass track is borrowed from one of Boney M's greatest hits, Rasputin. The boys, Turisas, who did this amazing and nostalgic cover hail from Scandanvia and they are reowned in the metal scene for their brand of folk metal! Hell yeah!! U may ask "Wat the folk?", listen and u'll find the answer...

Turisas - Rasputin

Really amazed by the blessings that I've been enjoying thus far, cos I haven't been the most well-behaved choir boy (metaphorical cosi can't sing for nuts). Haha... got thru a presentation almost flawlessly despite having a sore throat, knowing more of my life's purpose and more valuable lessons learnt thru what i experienced these few days! I am really guilty now and I am resolving to becoming a more disciplined guy now!!

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
Here's the new song from one of my fave female-fronted metal bands - Nightwish! Although their former lead singer (Tarja) is gone, the new one (Anette) isn't doing too bad either! The power riffs and thumping beats remain, so they still rock!! By the way, by shear freaking coincidence, the title of the song is the name of the company I am currently doing my project for!!!

Nightwish - Amaranth

Instead of gripping how stressful life is, I chose to give thanks to God for what happened for the past 8 days. Besides the allergy episode, I had to cope with meeting assignment deadlines, project work, preparing presentations, FYP progress, studying for a tough-ass CA and my upcoming soccer event (btw, check it out @ adelphoscup.blogspot.com)! Despite being a zombie, oh yes, managed to catch Grindhouse: Planet Terror and it was a gorefest blast! Sorry for the digression, I managed to plough through every bit of task by His Strength! Right now, although it is not really the calm after the storm, I can at least rest a bit more. Thank You Jesus! Thanks for the lesson on Integrity too!!

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
Bought the latest release by my long-time favourite band, the Foo Fighters and I must say they sound as good as new! "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace" is a more-than-satisfactory effort and I would recommend it any self-proclaimed rock fan without hesitation! Instead of introducing their newest single, I decided to travel back in time to visit their entire back catalogue and savor their finest moments! Gues I gotta share one with y'all...

Foo Fighters - Everlong
