mere responsibility.
sometimes i feel sad for teckbeng laoshi. especially when he makes the effort to rush through the causeway on fridays to be back in time for choir yet his efforts seemed to be in vain. if you are late because you have work or school, that i can understand. come in 10-15mins late? fine fine. but to be 'fashionably late' ( i use the term very loosely here) is totally unacceptable. how is it that pple can be so cavalier towards a commitment? just because laoshi is patient and nice enough to not name names does not mean that you can just get away with it.
what irks me the most is that it's normally the older ones who are late. how is that a good example for the younger ones to follow? they'll think that it is okay to be late and thus, making a habit to not turn up on time and the vicious cycle continues. oversleeping is not an excuse. you dont oversleep on a workday or schoolday do you? why? because it is a
commitment. then wouldn't sundays be extra important because it is a commitment to God? such disregard for simple responsibility does not reflect well on you, dont even mention dependability. it's even more unbelievable when others can waste other pple's time and laugh it off afterwards, blaming it on reasons that should not even be condoned.
so what if you claim to be irresponsible and yet continue doing it? there's no point in apologising if you dont attempt to rectify the problem isn't it? it just takes a little effort on your part and i dont think it's asking too much of you. give some thought to laoshi when you decide to snooze on a sunday morning. the anxiety he feels when pple dont turn up on time to practice. think of him when you decide that you dont wanna turn up for practice or sunday morning worship. think of the commitment you made to God when you decide to join choir. tardiness is not and will never be acceptable. get that into your head.

desperate for time.
"for every hour of class time, you are expected to have two hours of revision time for each subject." yep. this is how i'm pressed for time. a 2 hour lecture means 6 hours of revision and that means...i'm already 12hours behind for intro to psychII and 12hours for statistics. fantastic!
for the first time in my life i have to drag myself down to school though i'm really feeling under the weather. sorethroat, flu and clamminess dont seemed to be good enough reasons to skip lessons anymore because the course is so intensive that one missed lecture means one whole chapter on my own. i cannot afford that. i still stop myself to ask if i am pushing too hard and the answer, honestly, is no. so right now i'm praying that i'll miraculously get well over the weekend cos i can't afford to be spending time recuperating anymore.
got to choose our electives yesterday! had quite a few interesting modules to select from and between neuroscience and principles of counselling, i chose the latter. though i'm really interested in neuroscience, realistically i think the interest alone will not be able to sustain me throughout the whole course. think i'll go mad studying the anatomy of the brain. should probably equip myself with counselling skills since i'm planning on heading towards counselling or clinical psych. ok enough about school! gosh i'm so boring. ok off to more interesting highlights.
i watched poseidon! ok this is old news considering i watched tt 2 weeks ago but ANYWAY. the effects are really good and it's powered with excitement throughout the whole show. oh oh and the dialogues are really smart. plus josh lucas (for the last time,
NOT george lucas.) looks really hot. ha! 2days after watching poseidon i went cruising! the trip was really laid back, ate alot, jacuzzi-ed alot, read a little, didn't really suntan much though i did try. the stopover at redang was a major turn off. all i can say is:
redang is seriously overrated. there's like absolutely no way you can relax and unwind cos every minute music is blasting from the amplifier, children screaming, pple running around. -.- yeah the water is clear but filled with rocky corals in the shallow waters. definitely not enjoyable.
then it was davinci. as usual the book is more enjoyable than the movie itself. felt that the ending is a little anticlimax cos it ended quite abruptly. can imagine a sign being put up at the louvre anytime soon: The DaVinci Code is just a movie, please do not break our floors, Mary Magdelene's tomb does
not reside here. Thank you for your cooperation.
caught xmen 3 on wednesday and yup, it was good! tho i was hoping for more characters to appear and show true potential instead of them dying 20mins into the show, turning psychotic and getting cured. but anyhoo! storm is really really cool! frankly speaking she could've singlehandedly won the whole war by electrocuting everyone in the vicinity. come on, she controls an
element! ohwell it's logical to tone down her powers. for full understanding of the drastic damage she could have caused, please consult One Piece's character
Eneru in the Skypiea arc.
so! after a month of hiatus, i've studied enough hours to make me sick (it's still not
enough enought), i've watched a record of 3movies in 2 weeks, went on my dreamcruise, ate alot, played arcade and finally succumbing to the flu virus. thats about all i did so i guess you haven't really missed much. now i'm going back to studying hell lots of hours to make me sick again. wish me luck!

爱子归来 -詹宏达
仿佛是遥远记忆，似乎已经忘记祢；
肺腑心肠冷冷清清，早已是昏昏沉沉漂泊梦里。
哪知祢还记得我，久等候不忘承诺；
天父，怜悯! 怜悯我软弱!
垂听我灵魂细诉困惑:
“是非难分明，该何去何从?
人事扑朔迷离，不在意料中；
有时狂风起，有时地摇动，
灾祸连连不间断，彷徨惊恐。”
贪欲间真爱失落，迷途中岁月蹉跎；
追逐一场空洞虚幻，最后是曲终人散孤孤单单。
慈爱声悄然来临，抚慰我纷乱心情:
“爱子，归来! 仍于我同行!
仍于我同行! 仍于我同行! 于我同行!”
世路多艰难，忍耐才能当，
日久老练通达，心生盼望；
盼望中祈求，祈求中等候，
等候不知羞愧，光荣自由。
灵魂交托主，福祸不在乎，
直到战争结束，欢欣走天路!
