  •  I'm horrified, mortified, annihilated and left to rot,
    by that overly simple Physics Paper that left me struggling to survive.
    Feeling bad because you didn't study is alright.
    Feeling bad because the paper was stuff is alright too.
    But in my case, i was simply... Careless.
    I feel ridiculed that I actually intergrated the wrong variable,
    or whether I didn't do my tutorial early to discover that I = J.dA
    None the less, I hope I'll pull up my grades in the final year exam.


    And this is my new whiteboard. Bought it to do physics in my room.
    Shown in this pic, the artist tries to fully encapture the essence of Biot-Savart's Law, Gauss's Law & Ampere's Law.

    And just when I was preparing for my Calculus test,
    My enthusiastic neighbour Benny arranged a get-together for the Dota Gamers!
    We've been playing Dota since last semester, and it was here that i learnt it well.
    And last night at 11pm the 12 of us met face to face,
    to see the true identity of the pros that we always play with everynight.
    Great meeting you guys!
    Nice to meet Piggo, Achu, LK, Genesis, Bentoh, Starmax, and the rest of them!
    And before we left and walked back to PGP I bought a copy of Playworks Magazine.
    And in it... i saw this...


    That's the Team I was leading for the IES CZ competition!
    It was the same 5 guys who i led into victory for the Raputre Gaming competition!
    Lost to Fleming's team that day though. But it was a good game :)

    And yes, it was definitely cool to have Gaming competitions in NUS.


    And what are the rewards of playing hard while studying hard?

    Winning prizes of course!


    Why do people worry over the less important things in life?
    For almost many weeks, I've seen the same girl cry over a loss of marks.
    Or simply because she made a careless mistake in her quiz.
    I asked myself, if i were like her, i should've cried buckets of tears by now.
    It got me thinking why people actually pay so much attention to material things?
    Does it ultimately mean that security can be secured by a degree?
    Does this imply that one's efforts should be proportional
    to the kind of future they should have?
    And so i realised that maybe I was the odd one out...
    Always just taking things in a stride, giving a shrug when i fail my paper,
    or whether things just don't seem to go on right.
    Then I saw this in the afternoon on an envelope....


    I remembered it clearly... and this means...
    "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you;
    I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing"

    Now I realise why I'm"different"
    Why I don't shed a tear at a downfall,
    Or why I don't seem to be affected by a horrific failure.
    It's because... For 22 years of my life,
    There was never a time my God forsaken me.
    And I know that I know that,
    my future will be as bright as the sun because of what he shall do for me.
    Whether I pass of fail, whether I do this or that,
    There's a power and assurance that he gives me.
    Thank you Lord! and thank you for my Tomorrow.
