LETTERS FROM THE LIVING

Friday, February 22, 2008

Been slogging on my FYP report since Sunday and boy it's been FYP, FYP and more FYP. It's as if my other modules vaporized from the face of the earth. Anyway, I thank God for the wisdom He gave me so far, but I'm blaming myself for procrastinating for so long. Now it's time to reap what I sow and back to my Data And Results section!!

This amazing track from American melodic death metallers, Shadows Fall, ranks as high as those war-themed melodic hits by Metallica. More melodic than metal, it will sure serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing wars around the world. But wars are inevitable eh?

It's been awhile huh? Again!

Really caught up with many things these past two weeks and only managed to take a surprising breather today of all days! Here's a belated Happy Chinese New Year and a lovely Valentine's Day too!!

FYP, FYP, FYP, it seems to be the flavour of the week, or shall I say of the month! My submission deadline is fast approaching and I am frantically trying to conjure something CONvincing for my report. Will continue to trust God and seek God even in the midst of busy-ness!

CNY came lightning quick and went even faster than before I can really say "Gong Xi F.." Good time of rest and catching up with ppl ard me. Watch CJ7 and Ah Long movies too! Really blessed!!!

Thank God for sustaining my health too as I came out of all the festive gluttony relatively unscathed. But I have to upkeep the temple by working extra at the gym these couple of weeks! A visit to NUH this week was a stark reminder that Health IS Wealth!!!

And thank God for bringing me thru today's bummer quiz on V-day. On this day where almost everyone is in the mood for love, guess the ones who were the happiest were those on their way to the banks after milking the V-day gift-buying madness cash cow! A bit irritated in sch (besides the quiz) when i was asked whether i'm going on a date after sch. Problem is not the question they asked, but the answer i gave did not sound genuine, so I got a bunch of teasing/probing from my friends! The aforementioned took place more than 5 times, with different friends I came across!! Argh...

Rayzor's Rock-amendation:
Just enjoy this rockin' tune and the funny vid! Restraining myself to get emo with love ballad vids for today! Haha...

It's been an eventful two weeks but I did not have either the time or energy to blog it down. Was struck down with food poisoning more than 10 days ago. I had cold shivers at night, a fever and countless trips to the toilet during the day. On top of that, I forced myself to school as I had lessons and fyp going on. I self medicated and thank God for the healing in time as I got an interview coming up.

Last Sunday was the walk-in interview for SIA flight attendants and after some contemplation, I decided to go for it - along with another enthusiastic friend from church cell group. We went at about 9am, the time stated that it will start, but was stunned at the snaking long queue at Sheraton Towers hotel. It was like Singapore Idol!! The wait for the selection process was so long it almost numbed my body and mind. To cut the long story short, I made it pass the first round but crumbled at the subsequent one! Overall, it was an enriching experience, learning how to cope with nerves and get a preview of more interviews ahead! It took me 3 hrs to wait and go thru 2 rounds of the interview!! I also started my CCLT last sunday!!

This week was mainly worrying about fyp and the pressure to start typing the report proper is mounting! Admidst that busyness, the NTU career fair was held over two days and I had to go take a look and hopefully get to apply for one or two companies as peer pressure sets in. Will not give much details of the event as I will be typing an article for Nanyang chronicle, so stay tune for that report next issue! Anyway, I got to submit 2 resumes and will apply for a couple more via online. The best part was that I won the 3rd prize in the lucky draw!! One of my friends told me I won the previous day and I thought it was just a voucher or something, but it turned out to be a Panasonic FX Lumix digicam!!! Truly blessed! Thank you Jesus!!!

Looking forward to progress with my fyp and also CNY!!!

Just wanna post this long forgotten brit-rock band, Hundred Reasons, who got me into that whole post hardcore genre. They still rock but not as much as when they first hit the scene. Relive their glorious past with this one!
