Can’t say I’m very satisfied by my exam results.. My CAP dropped from 3.5 to 3.18.. it’s a big drop of 0.38. Although I expected to have the lousy grades this semester but some modules were lower than expected which made me kinda sad. But well, I’ll bounce back like I always do. It’s not going to be a hindrance to my learning process. I’m sure I did learn a lot this semester although the grades reflected otherwise. This sem has been good and I hope to continue accquiring knowledge in the next few years.

Haz.. Finally after 4 semesters of exams, I’m a officially a year 2. LOL..

writer’s block

I’m suffering from writer’s block or rather to be precise it’s translator’s block.. So there won’t be a story yet for a couple of days. I’ve been contemplating if I shld abridge the story so it’s shorter and easier to read.. Well.. let’s wait and see.

ring ring

If only I could take a photo and put it here.

Sitting beside me are 3 mobiles. one is my 6230i, the other is my 6610 and the last is my 2100. All of them except the 6610 are active lines. The 6230i is my personal line and the 2100 is the SBC line. Although they seldom ring but looking at those 3 phones beside me makes me feel so like a business man.

As for the humble 6610, it’s going to be of use soon. come 4/6 when I don on my greens, I’ll have to use it for national security reasons. lol..

Reminiscing

It was fun to look at the old photos and laugh at them. But at the same time, it was sad. Why? Because some of the people in the photos are no longer in our midst now. EIther they have left for ‘greener’ pastures or have disappeared altogether. Furthermore, I was looking at my old self and now. I don’t really see much difference in myself, still old kiddish me. I need an objective to change for a better, but it does seem like I haven’t found one or maybe I’m not focusing on my objective at all. Looking at some of the people there. I hope that they will continue to be around, serving in truth and spirit till the day we all meet the Maker in all eternity.

Looking at time past and gone,
We’ve all grown old and forlorn.

Grey makes its way through Black
While White becomes the new Black

What’s there that we have done?
What’s left that we have not done?

Feeling regret when this life is past?
Clutching on to things that won’t last?

Lol

I was going through some photos on our faith fighters multiply website: faithfighters.multiply.com

And these photos are taken during one of our workshops during YF June Camp 2003 at Loyang. Although it’s somewhat funny but it’s thought-provoking.

nice?

Here’s my iBook makeover.

Before

and after,

After spending quite a sum on it, I think it’s money well-spent. Looks real nice. Actually if they could make it to cover the whole front face, it would be nicer. For now it’s just covers the front flat surface, the curves are exposed but still, it’s scratch proof, water proof, dirt proof and etc etc.

Happiness 2

‘Hello?’

‘Tom.. It’s me.. He…’ the voice of Carolyn came through the sound of crying.

‘Oh? Can you stop crying? I can’t understand what are you trying to say.’ an exasperated Thomas replied, yet his voice was filled with the ever so minute traces of worry and concern.

However the crying did not stop, and Thomas could only wait patiently for Carolyn to make sense of what she was trying to say. Time passed and eventually the cries died down to sniffles, suddenly a tiny voice cracked through the phone. ‘He rejected me.’

Upon hearing this, Thomas heart skipped a beat. On one hand he was glad, for Carolyn was still single but on the other he was feeling sad for Carolyn, for the plight that she is in now.

Happiness 1

‘I’m sorry. But I simply can’t love you.’

Carolyn hugged Joshua tightly from behind, like a castaway clutching on to a piece of driftwood for life.

‘No!’ she cried out, ‘I don’t want it to be like that,’ she exclaimed almost to the brink of hysteria.

‘I can understand the feelings you have for me, but I can’t accept it. I can only say sorry to you,’ he consoled her with his ever soft and comforting voice.

‘Why? Why can’t you accept my feelings? Am I not worthy for you? Tell me what’s wrong!’ she blurted out. She could never imagine that her first confession to him would result in a calm yet painful reply from Joshua.

Joshua pried the arms that encircled him and turned to face Carolyn. He clasped her hands and said, ‘Carol, you are a nice girl and there’s nothing wrong with you. But I’m not qualified to love you as I am not able to grant you happiness. My heart belongs to someone else. I’m really sorry.’

All along, Joshua knew that Carolyn had feelings for him. But in his heart, there was a certain someone who was his source of happiness. Therefore, so as not to delude Carolyn any longer, he decided to reject her tactfully. But, no matter how tactful the rejection was, it was bound to have its repercussions.

‘No.. I don’t want your apologies! I don’t want you to say you’re sorry! All I know is that you can bring me happiness.. and I do love you! So what if there is another person in your heart, I only want you to love me!’ Carolyn blurted out amidst the flow of tears that kept streaming down her cheeks.

Joshua looked at Carolyn and said, ‘You must never like me, for I will only bring you sadness, like now.’

‘But.. I.. only want.. to love you..’ Carolyn looked at him with her tear stained eyes.

Joshua, as he wiped her tears away looked at her, filled with guilt. He always believed that a man should not let a woman cry, especially Carolyn who has always been so strong. He could only feel sorry for her and nothing else besides that for his heart could not be shared with another person.
