Inertia

Got 2 examinable PE modules next week and I have yet to start revision. I'm not at all panicky about it. I know I have to but the inertia is great. As always! :) Trying to caution myself against complacency or lacklustreness and constantly psychoing myself to have to give my best shot, even if I think this whole exam thingy is rather ridiculous.

I question the neccessity of taking exams in NIE. Shouldn't we be given more hands-on experiences, especially for PE (more game modules???) Ok granted that we need to have some theoretical groundings but what's the emphasis in our 2yrs of training? I have not seen the point. Oh wellz....just feeling a little angsty about exams! Overall feel is we have to take exams for the sake of taking exams! Got value being added in our training stint??

Inertia also great in my training for marathon. This yr I sure to 'suffer' during my run! Haha...minimal training but I am not going to chiong! That will be suicidal :). Feeling the sianness of training for it. Maybe I've reached my limit for marathons. Need something new alr.

Well I'm glad that there's still things for me to look forward to in spite of these bleah things. One being the philippines trip with ASEAN club and my backpacking trip to vietnam & cambodia!!!! The latter is what I'm super looking forward to this year. Will mark a nice wrap up to 2008. I'm realllllly excited about it. Till then, I will need to gear up to jump over the few hurdles first.

On hindsight, there's so much to take back for this year. Better start jotting memorable moments before they become history. Now..that's something interesting in the midst of boring revision!

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

SHAKING OFF THE DUST

Its been a long hiatus :) So many things have taken place and so many reflections to document but the inertia to do it was just to great to resist. Anyhow, decided to take some time during this break to start the 'blogging engine' going again. Hopefully, it revives my hope and wish to keep this site alive.  Just had the annual ODAC camp @ Ubin and while trekking around the island with the kiddies yesterday, I chanced upon this little grasshopper at the Sensory Trail. I managed to get up close and personal for this shot, which was taken with my new iPhone 7 ahem. Image was sharp and it looked great!  And the verse that came to mind was: "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?....Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." - Matthew 6: 26-34 In my rest...

PSALM 121

I lift my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip - he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel, will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life; The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Many a times, man fails to keep his promise but God never. He makes a promise and we can be so sure He will keep it forever and ever. Man may fail but He nevers. Sometimes, we may wonder if God is really doing the right thing for us but I know one thing - trusting Him is the only thing that can never go wrong :)
