FYP = Flunk Your Project

Had a long day today. Missed lunch to polish my sample. was a bit pek cek so decided to reward myself with a HUGE bowl of goodness *wink*

Laksa!!!! It’s really satisfying especially when you’re hungry to the core because you missed lunch. Not just any laksa, currently i think there are only TWO places selling Sarawak Laksa in Singapore. Rare commodity.

They sell the very famous Kolo Mee also, which really has been a put off by the Kuching 家乡面. Ok i shall not advertise for them anymore. if you want to try, there’s an outlet at Simei and another one at Jurong East. Both near the MRT just ask around.

Moving on, was passing by the lab last week and i noticed this box. really had to take a picture of it.

Out of curiosity's sake i peek in to see if anyone has submitted their FYP. Seriously. It’s not even second sem yet. Department apparently is very enthusiastic about our final year report. I foresee it being empty all the way until April. let’s see if that’s true.

FYP is exhausting. even my samples agree.

Deathbed

Just attended a funeral service. Though she’s not someone that i know, but funeral services always get people thinking. Especially about their future.

It got me thinking too. And this song came into my head. Like all songs, it doesn’t really strike a very deep first impression (maybe only the length strikes an impression) but i’ve really come to like it after a while.

It’s almost like a skit or a musical and the music expresses correctly at different parts of the song.

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.” (John 11:25)

what would you say when you’re on your deathbed?

Feeling the ‘L’ Word

The thing is. It’s really, really hard to keep a blog from dying. especially when you’re lazy and there really isnt anything THAT interesting going on in your life.

Past few weeks have been just rushing to NTU back and forth, and i’m starting to feel the momentum slowing down. it’s not really a good thing, considering i have to present something in the coming January.

Furthermore, i have design project 4102 which is due like in November 16th or something. That’s like one month from now and we’re still figuring out scraps and how to write our report.

*sigh* year 4 is quite fast paced actually. And lately, i’ve sort of inherited a string of gigs due to some occurrence of events. So i have been gigging almost every week. 

That is why Philippians 4:6 is really comforting to me: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”  Faith that He is in charge of everything, in His timing, is a comfort that prevails all hopelessness.

On a sidenote, i’ve decided to post some pictures here just to lighten the post up :)

This is at Orchard Central. was having some gigs there and realised how artistic (or not) the place is.

The one below is another statue in Orchard Central. Like a really *HUGE* shoppaholic.

IMG_0169The legs you see belong to this really tall lady (about 6 storeys?) on the later picture.

IMG_0183No i’m not Michael Jackson again. It’s just that the gig i did require us to dress up to the theme of Shanghai Jazz. look like some Shanghai mafia back then.

On a random note, i’ve decided to take some pictures in my laser session at NTU and post it here as well.

Trust me. You wouldnt want to put any part of your body below that tip there. it will burn a hole through in seconds. Laser rawks.

Conspiracy

epl010209-liverpool-v-chelsea-5 I don’t know about you. So let’s hear others opinion (especially those who are overseas).

There are 3 Telcos in Singapore. Singtel, Starhub and M1. Currently, there’s only 2 telcos providing cable TV ie Singtel and Starhub. And only 1 telco get the rights to broadcast ESPN English Premier League. Apparently only 1 telco can broadcast whatever league there is.

Now. Starhub used to own the rights to these channels and Singtel didn’t use to have cable TV. since they introduce their (really sucky package) cable TV, they have been engaged in this very xiong bidding war for the rights to broadcast EPL. Recently, Singtel WON the rights to EPL, which really is one of the MAIN reason people subscribe to Starhub cable.

The FUNNY THING is. Singtel and Starhub (and for that matter M1) are all under the same huge umbrella company. i don’t know about your country but this really seems like a pseudo war to raise prices for cable TV (though i don’t watch them).

What do you think?
