this is my new third home :D as5 02-03! in fact, i like it so much that i like it more than 02-02. and i'm really going to miss not having access to that room next semester, maybe i should take lexi.

i frequently see these people around the internet lab.
jasm
limin
daph
surong
connie
steph
xuanyu
dl1
emm
amelia
a lot of year 4s

and i seriously think only jasm, limin, daph and i have actual access to the lab.
i think if we get caught for smuggling people in, i'll be the first.

i'm still trying to procrastinate from biling summary. sigh biling sigh.

to my horror, while i'm doing my routine pique video viewing, i saw this.




WAS HE IN HONG KONG WITH MAN UTD IN THE RECENT YEARS?

omg, i missed it -_-

i think the revelation of god's grace has really changed my life a lot.

i haven't really had the habit of thanksgiving, which i should really start cultivating.

praise daddy god for his wisdom and favour this week.

1) many deadlines were pushed back, which really meant so much to me, since i'm really tired and not prepared for most of these projects. and there were just too many projects cramped together :D thank god for awesome and reasonable elang lecturers!

2) my daddy came back to singapore this week for my birthday, and i desperately wanted to spend some time with him, but i couldn't because of all these deadlines. and daddy god knows how daddy wants to spend some time with me just like He does, and i actually managed to squeeze out quite some time because of the postponed deadlines and meetings.

3) because he's with me, i will not fear! and that applies to wmatrix too. i actually managed to finish my internet take home quiz rather quickly :D despite procrastinating till the last day.

4) thank you daddy god for my marketing group mates. it could have been so bad, doing projects with people that you don't know. and it's just amazing that we barely know each other, and i feel so comfortable with them. laughing over the thirty year old guy for no reason. and getting the report and presentation done in time. thank you daddy god for his holy presence and strength, getting me through these two days especially. thank god that i had fun with them. in fact, i never felt so happy with friends that i know through cross fac. and it's really awfully sweet of them to buy me a (slice of) cake today to celebrate my birthday, when they really didn't had to.

5) for angeline, getting her industrial attachment.

6) for friends, and a good birthday party, where everything went as planned. i kindda had the post band concert feeling after it, tired, but happy.

7) for year 3 elang majors. their presence make me feel more excited about coming to school. for socioling group for being sweet like marketing group. makes meeting for project on your birthday a lot better. for making me feel less ridiculous coming to school for biling. can't wait for our outing.

8) for the twenty one years of my life. there was no certainty to whether i will be able to survive till this date, but because i have jesus in me, i shall live and be spared of all diseases and lack in health and any other part of my life!

i love this video! and the arrangement of himne del barca, it's rock with this different drums part compared to the former rock version.

just now, i met up with my socioling groupmates to discuss about some tutorial presentation, which is actually rather trivial, but somehow we managed to spend 4.5 hours discussing online, CMC, *shakes head*. it was still all right.

so as usual, i suggested using google docs which has beocme the most important software since the last semester. and as we were about to finish what we've got, i accidentally clicked something, and the table with all the important information DISAPPEARED, and that moment, i really just wanted to die. and i started having a mini nervous breakdown.

but guess what! PRAISE GOD, aidan saved the file :D like a few seconds, or milliseconds before i deleted the table. oh man, it's like what are the odds of us remembering to safe it once in a while, and we've gotten so dependent on technology that i really wouldn't bother. thank You for the holy spirit prompting aidan to save the file. it's not cause the tutorial presentation was such a big thing, but cause i spent 4.5 hours and really a lot of effort formulating the answers. and i thought it was really cute. cause my group actually had 4 of them, who did historical variation together. and it was so coincidental that all of them are christians, so they will pray before every meeting (okay, i really found it a bit weird at first), so before this meeting, they told me about this and i was like sure, lets say a prayer before this meeting.

i didn't really give much thought into this. but i'm really glad that we have the presence of the holy spirit for this meeting, even though it's not like a really big thing to me. like sometimes, i tend to just not talk to god about small things, cause i always think that i only ask god to help when i need it, other times, i can do without it, but that's certainly not true. our mighty god is a god of small things too. and we should invite the holy spirit into every moment of our lives, so that he will guide us even in things that we deemed as not so important. you never know when you need him around. may god be with me through all the big and small projects that are to come this semester :D



this song has been speaking a lot to me recently.

a warm hug and prayer for these fantastic injuried players yet to return for their clubs and countries!

xxoo (don't really know what that mean, but surong thinks it's a very cute thing to use it, so i'm using it!)

barcelona, the current european champions, have dominated the footballing world last season with their historical treble (champions league winner, la liga winner as well as copa del rey winner, a first in spanish football history) and crijuff-inspired attractive football. this surely reaffirms the competition la liga has for the english premier league in being europe's best league. in the coming monday, barcelona will play their first match of the season against sporting gijon, after an uninspiring win against sharktar donetsk for the uefa super cup. but before barcelona could prove their rey (king in spanish) status, tonight, arsenal will take on the three-time premier league champions, and they will certainly grasp this opportunity to prove that not only are they going to mount a challenge to the premier league title, but they will also fight to show that the english premier league is capable of producing a football team that can play a attractive brand of football, and also win silverware, like their spanish counterpart.

there is no denying in the fact that the way arsenal play, like barcelona, is captivating, tantalizing and well... just simply alluring. they also have one of the best managers in arsene wenger, and big name players like cesc fabregas and robin van persie. but, all these quick passing and one-touch football have not produced a single piece of silverware in the last couple of seasons. despite the capture of russia whiz andrey arsharvin and the maturing of players like kieran gibbs, aaron ramsey and jack wilshere, the loss of crucial players like emmanuel adebayor and kolo toure to manchester city has dampened the chances of arsenal to be league champions. some even doubt whether arsenal will make it to the top 4, with the likes of the aforementioned manchester team as well as everton, aston villa and tottenham hotspurs proving to be worthy champions league teams.

however, after the first two matches of the season, arsenal are already sending out a shout out to the footballing world that they are not to be forgotten. like the days when they just lost their inspirational captain and all-time highest scoring player theirry henry, ironically to barcelona, arsenal showed an enthusiasm and maturity in a young team that has shocked the footballing world. however, this team soon crumbled under high expectations and the lack of experience.

tonight, arsenal are given the first major task of the season, to play against manchester united at old trafford. without their midfield mastro and captain cesc fabregas, the young gunners will need to prove that they are not a one-man football team. before challenging the superb barcelona team to be europe's best, arsenal has to first prove to be the king of the english premier league. with the sale of star man cristano ronaldo to real madrid, the loss of edwin van der sar due to injury and the perpetual underachieving performances of players like darren fletcher and wes brown, the gunners captained by a rejuvenated robin van persie who had a injury-free season last year, will go all out to cement their position among the england and europe elites.

and pep's boys, while immersed in the grandiose orchestration of coldplay's viva la vida , will certainly take notice of this upcoming threat.

at the risk of being labeled a nerd, i have to say, i'm really excited to be back in school :D

i really love psycholing :D fun lecturer, fun classmates, fun content :D that day, prof oh was doing an experiment with us with regards to /b/ and /p/ and surong and i thought there were only a few sounds to be heard, but she ended up playing like 10 sounds like that. then the whole class thought the same way as we did, i guess. so nobody wrote it down. and then prof oh had this totally stunned face, and she's, "why are you all not copying it down". and the whole class was stunned too. then she was like oh... i didn't tell you all. i like how it didn't occur to us to copy it down, and then after that, everyone just lol-ed, and surong lol-ed super loudly! then i'm like surong, you're laughing very loudly, then she's like i'm kindda laughing loudly cause i know i can do so it this class. aw... love psycholing!

and i naturally walked into (almost in fact) the sap class room, cause i'm just so used to it, psycholing is now in the classroom behind sap D:

was supposed to meet up with salt and co on friday after biling, but their lecture got cancelled, which makes me missed them for nearly a month. thankfully, salt immediately organised a meet up today, which only consisted of peisee, salt and alicia, but still <3 and bakerzin dessert, nothing can be sweeter, heh.

even though some modules are plainly less enjoyable, having year 3 elang people around just make me feel so happy. we are no longer stuck in our small cliques, and chatting with each other and making so much noise, really love it! this is officially the first sem that i can say i really enjoy being in elang. everyone is getting closer, into a close, tight-knitted group :D not to forget, my dearie geogies, i still miss you all!

as i was visiting soccernet.com as usual, i had a shock when i read that an espanyol player has passed away, dani jarque. as much as i really don't know who he is, when i saw the photo of him, i do recognize seeing him in espanyol matches. this is a really sad news as he was just appointed the espanyol captain a while ago, espanyol just moved to a new stadium and his girlfriend is 7-month pregnant. there was so many exciting things awaiting him. sigh D: rip dani jarque. the city of barcelona just lost a star, catalan derbies will never be the same D:
