Changed my blog description, don't know why, but I think putting that cheesy "feel free to look around thing" just doesn't impact people in, it doesn't even describe who I am.
So I saw this poster in Koorong and felt it was really cool. Plus the fact why should we stick to the conventional way of description? Why can't we challenge others? Why can't we make people think?
Is a blog just for bitching? or is it a possible medium that can make a difference?

Compressed Update
It has really been a long time since I'm posted here, ermm *looks down* yap its 5th march....
I guess I've been rather busy and occupied doing stuff, definatelly not playing DotA, as I've had a 2 week DotA drought already. Guess I have been busy doing more research than I thought...
Can't believe it, I'm still not used to things being this way yet, research has integrated itself into my life and I feel more or less comfortable doing research, get pissed off when people do not cite properly in documents it just feels strange.
Furthermore I'm still not used to the Bible study co-ordinator in OCF, I can't believe I'm actually doing it, preparing materials, sending out email guidelines, doing research, showing references.
Just last week someone asked me for my powerpoint presentation of "Introduction to book or Romans". I can't believe it, usually it would be me asking someone else for their slides and notes, not someone is actually asking me for it, the position has swapped...
There is no doubt a sense of pressure in being in charge of bible studies, it like the whole learning curve of OCF will in a certain sense depend on me, it is a huge responsibility no doubt, I wonder how to staff workers cope with it...

Just an expression
I should have posted this about 3 months ago, about the time when I was pondering about my results, I read it last week but forgot to write...
A generation goes, and a generation comes,
but the earth remains forever.
The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
and hastens to the place where it rises.
The wind blows to the south
and goes around to the north;
around and around goes the wind,
and on its circuits the wind returns.
All streams run to the sea,
but the sea is not full;
to the place where the stream flow,
there they flow again.
All things are full or weariness;
a man cannot utter;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.
What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done,
and there is nothing new under the sun.
Such great poetry I am not capable of, for this is the work of a king.

Like a fish back in the water
I can't sleep so I'm posting this...
I had a very strange feeling today, it just feels like a sense of calmness, it came during lecture, for some reason the lecture about Human Computer Interaction seems strange and yet calm to me, there I was sitting somewhere in the front roll, the usual "nerd" position and out of a sudden I heard this phrase "Academic Research", and my lecturer proceeded to talk about the research on the effect of Human Computer Interaction and how it has changed over the years and the direction in which this research is heading toward. Out of a sudden "bam" I suddenly feel so comfortable listening to research statistics.
It came to a point where I felt I can't really study at home, as in back home back in Singapore, I don't know why but it seems to give me a sense of home is somewhere where I can rest, relax and slow things down, have time for myself and the people around me. To spend time doing the things I want to do, other than work. And here in University is where I get my work done,
I had to force myself to do research and read academic papers when I was home, but here its just natural for me to pick up a book and start reading.
This feeling is weird, again at this point of my life I feel as if I like studying again there is some sense of enjoyment in it again. I hope my mom isn't feeling too happy now, mom just in case you're reading this don't be too happy it also means your son is a workaholic, or worse a research-crazy monster.
