  • "I watched as you dreamed
    You laughed like a child
    So dear, and yet so far -
    That is the promise of our future


    That one day, on a green morning,
    One day, we will make it there
    Because in this wintered sky
    We still believe

    Fields of Hope"

    Studying about DNA and Genetic engineering seems fine,
    and such knowledge for the betterment of Mankind seems noble.
    But ironically, at the time I was interested in this subject,
    I stumbled about this Anime Series: Gundam Seed Destiny
    And unlike most anime that became warped and predictable,
    This anime talks about the most painful issue of War.
    It circles around politics and divide in the people.

    Set in an era in the future where genetic engineering was common,
    Genes that cause diseases and illnesses can be altered and removed before birth,
    Flaws and inadequecies can be changed and modified before birth,
    creating the ideal child that can never be sick, is talented and perfect.
    But with the popularity of this, normal natural humans grow to be jealous,
    since these "modified" people can outdo, out last and do better in all aspects.
    And before long a divide existed among the two types of people.
    Soon disputes formed, and an initiated attack on a Nation of Naturals
    seem to imply that the modified race wanted to extinguish the Naturals.
    And War began...
    And in this continuing series to gundam Seed,
    The War never stops, simply because people will never be satisfied.

    What hit me most in this anime,
    Is the images of War that exist and resembles this era we live in.
    Like in the anime, one chairman said that we all need power.
    If we didnt have the power to protect, we wont have the power to do anything.
    But because of these things,
    War can never End, disputes can never be extinguished.
    I wonder if this anime series could actually be a real future...


    What have I been up to?
    Tests, Reports, lab work, projects, School.
    It's killing me of my time! Sucking my life!
    NUS is such a competitive place!
    While I'm typing this blog, there's someone doing ALL the questions of the Book.
    Or probably someone studying for a test 2 months from now.
    But during this time, I have a life... and I did have my fair share of fun!


    Valentine's day was great!

    The Tulip bloomed while we were having dinner!

    I purposely left her a little disappointed on V'day,
     so that I could build the anticipation and surprise for her Birthday!
    Though my master plan could not be fully implemented because of bad weather,
    I hope she enjoyed her time.
    It was suppose to be a cool lovely night,
    and we'd be walking around the romantic setting of PGP at 11.59pm.
    Then I'm supposed to ask if she trust me,
    And if she said yes, I'd blindfold her and carry her to a place.
    There, a candle lited area with her birthday cake would lay.
    There I'll sing her a song I'd dedicate on my guitar.
    And there I'll see her smile at the Box of surprise I have for her.
    But the place was wet! And it rained
    I had to settle for the kitchen room!
    But actually it turned out quite memoreable.
    Hope she remembers her first birthday/Valentine's with me


    It's amazing what I'll see in PGP.
    Just when everything seems so lifeless and dull,
    And everyone's life was just this word "Studying"
    I see this....


    It's beautiful...

    Tells me one thing...
    That in the midst of a dark and doomed situation,
    There's aways a Light that makes everything seem trivial.
    At least for me, there is such a light.
    An invincible truth that makes everything around me fall in place.
    Thank you Jesus for your overflowing blessings! Woohoo!
    And just when my Physics grades were leaving me a little sad,
    I received another part of the prize I won at the CZ competition...
    A Creative MuVo mp3 128mb player that is the size of...
    1/3 the width of an EZ Link Card,
    with a thickness equivelant of 3 dollar coins.

    Dear,
    dont' worry so much about everything! It pains me to see the state
    you're in because of school work and pressure. Learn to relax and
    understand what life is about! As long as you tried your best, shoulnt
    feel overly depressed about results. Or maybe I'm just a care less
    person? hahaha.. I do feel down if i do badly, but after a while I
    realised that it's not that bad. Just have to work harder next time
    round! So keep your spirits up! It's never the end for anyone at
    anytime. Instead, it's only the beginning of a final battle! I'm sure
    that as long as you practice, persevere and be consisitently revising,
    your results will climb! Don't compare ur results to the SHENS. They're
    not human. hahaha they'll always make you feel worse! Anyway... I'm
    always here for you if you need me. We can do this ya? Trust me.
    My supreme light, the one who brings me joy -
    Zil
