24!
It’s 12 x 2.
It’s 2 cycles of the chinese zodiacs.
It’s almost half the length of ppl’s lives, or even lesser.
It’s here, it’s now.
It’s real.
Now, deal with it.

So it’s a brand new semester all over again. But this time, it’s gonna be the last semester (I HOPE SO!).
With tears trickling down my cheek, a small grin on the face and a raised eyebrow to confirm the fake tears, I start reviewing the courses I take this semester.
I’m glad, after all, knowing that this might be the only semester in which most, or maybe all of the modules are not forced towards me, but what I actually like.
But it’s not all dancing in the clouds too as there are some sacrifices that I have to make.
One of the hardest decision is to take Computer Aided Chem E which schedule is Friday night, meaning I have to miss almost every single NUS-ISCF fellowship sessions.
I am sure that I will never forgive myself if I do not give my best from the very start to the very end for all these modules.
Well, I also need to come to school almost everyday. And, I’m gonna force myself to stop being too comfortable at home, away from school, studies and the society. I just need to fight these well, and end it well too.
Yes, I have my ups and downs all four years in NUS. And I fear the outcome of this 4 year study. Will I graduate and make my parents proud? Will I get a job after graduation? Will my university time be marked as “failed” by myself, or friends, or family? I really don’t know. As all these thoughts race all over my brain, I calmed myself down and reminded myself that I should let go of the past, the complacency, the disappointments and failures. After all, I’m not working hard to serve men, myself, parents’ expectations or what others think about me, but God and God alone. I commit myself this last semester not only to fight hard in my studies, but also to depend hard on Him.
Ah, and I get stressed out extremely easily with little things and I get sick easily with big things Those that know me well, know that I have those tendencies. I used to see that as one of my weaknesses. For now, it’s still my weakness, but I would like to see it this way too: I am granted the stress and the sickness such that I stop being ignorant, not responsive or plain negative when problems come. I’m kinda forced to learn to respond not only in the right way, but also at the right time (which means as soon as the problem strikes). I guess if whenever problem comes, I stay lazy, unresponsive, using stress as my excuse not to do anything and even if I later on ‘learn’ and get back on my feet. I’ve basically never learnt at all.
And lastly, I think I should start being more organized. Starting with the little things.
Great, a rather positive post to start the new semester!
Putting Christmas before FYP is hard. Harder if everyone else is starting on the report which is due on 6 Jan and you’re still struggling to find errors in the model.
But whatever it is, I’m putting Christmas before FYP.
Not the party, nor the shopping, nor the Santa, nor the presents… but the revival service.
I know it sounds stupid, but my spirit longs for revival, especially this Christmas, after being drown by all the FYP works.
It’s hard when you wake up to FYP, breathe FYP, think FYP, sleep FYP, tweet FYP or even dream FYP.
Alright, maybe that’s a bit exaggerated, but FYP has indeed taken over a lot of other supposedly equally important things in my life so far.
I’ll be back soon, dear FYP, but for now, I’m putting Christmas before you.
Fight Fight Fight.
If Shinkai-kun from Good Luck! can fight so hard against the odds of flying a plane again (from his broken leg).
How can I not fight hard against this stupid hedek-ity.
Sorry for random post lol.

The housemate/roommate-to-be’s failed room revamp plan A.
Buy a bed frame and mattress from IKEA.
Add a hospital-like-bed-table to study, eat, basically everything on the bed. No need to buy table (bika ambon) and chair that swivels.
(Do homework until tired, just lie down and sleep, next morning wake up with table in same position)
Decided that such plan makes one even lazier, more sleep-inducing and a bad idea, in short.
2-storey bed plan, anyone? hopefully the one sleeping above doesn’t get cut by the fan.
I do not need branded wireless mouse, because cheap branded ones suck too anyway.
I love this new one I got from Comex 09. It’s an A4Tech 15-m range mouse working on 2.4G wireless network (too much info, i know)
Yup, I’m pretty sure all these are eye-poking enough.. but I’m not one who gives up this easily.
And to show off my supposedly FYP notebook:
I present you… yellow-lover.
The gleaner keeps her eyes open:
if she stumbled among the stubble in a dream, she would have no load to carry home rejoicingly at eventide. I must be watchful in religious exercises lest they become unprofitable to me; I fear I have lost much already—O that I may rightly estimate my opportunities, and glean with greater diligence.
