this is my thought:)

hello readers:) here is an announcement. i will be setting this blog to private coz it has come to my attention that people are linking me without my notification and i might have caused some unintentional worries. thus if you would like to view my blog, you can send and email to me to request and i might..consider allowing. but likely not.

chill out:):)

made a bathtub filled with water and blocks of ice for my afternoon shower:):) to all those who have a baby tub or a tub or anything similar, try filling it with blocks of ice and water:) i can assure you a rejuvenating experience:):) cheap and lazy way to relax at home. it's good for the body you know. in moderation of course.

Cold shower benefits:

# Brings blood to the capillaries, increasing circulation throughout the body.
# Cleans the circulatory system.
# Reduces blood pressure on internal organs.
# Provides flushing for the organs and provides a new supply of blood.
# Strengthens the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.
# Contracts the muscles to eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes.
# Strengthens mucous membranes which help resist hay fever, allergies, colds, coughs.
# A beauty aid to your hair and helps remove cellulite too.

enjoy:)

what happened to being true to yourself?

you were the one who shared with me. i'm not complicated. you dont have to share. i just wanted to prove my own point.

dried.

let me throw the towel now..i'm trying as best as i could. sitting in the front row, copying notes, jotting down questions and boldly asking them after lecture (partly also coz of making full use of my school fees:P sharks..okok..serious..serious), highlighting important pointers, doing tutorials, drinking herbal tea, keeping myself warm during lectures...blah blah blah. this week got 3 quizzes. two of which happened on tuesday. physics i scored full marks. mechanics, 70 percent. and tomorrow will be my last of the week. materials. i seriously think i'm going to fail this quiz..nothing is being retained and everything seemed really abstract. like martian language. i surveyed my friends' well-being thus far in mech engg. he's already thinking of his plan B, switching over to SIM to study business. others were, drop-out and sell soon kueh, work as property agent, do part-time first then see how.

everyone just seemed to be pessimistic about their prospects studying the next 2.5years..people ask, how are you in NTU? i seriously don't know how should i answer them..weigh them down with how stressed and overworked i am or delude them of how wonderful the yunnan garden is and the uberly cheap macdonald's meals and canteen food? sarah asked me on monday night just before bsf, "andrew, i heard you're stressed over your work..hmm..you dont look stressed at all..you're still laughing and smiley" i guess i hide my struggles really well.

above and beyond all these fluctuation of emotions and thoughts, i'm really glad that God has given me a sane and peace-filled mind to keep afloat and remain still amidst a storm. "yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. let this be your present." :) "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." matthew6:34 :)

1st quiz!:)

"alamak...what is this...how come it is in ratio form.." my thoughts to one of the question when doing my quiz. haha..my first quiz!:):) thanks be to God! really..it was Him who gave me the peace before my quiz and by His grace, i aced it:) many thanks to the people who prayed and encouraged me before my paper;) haha..paiseh for not replying promptly. yup!:) friday is here!!:):) fridays are the best..although my day ends in the evening, i just feels good to know that the weekends are here:):) next week will have 3 more quizzes:S not farnie anymore..haha..hope my strategy to study for them works:D and i need to remind myself to pray at EVERY STEP of this arduous undertaking of tertiary education. hmm..being in university is like running 400m intervals. every semester you sprint as best as you can. hoping to achieve good timings. followed by a recuperation period to psych yourself up for the next lap. haha..repeat 6times. at the end of the 6th cycle, you know you've worked ur buttocks off and have built a really good stamina. now, this time, you're ready to make a difference:)

and that's if i can catch my breath:P

prayer requests. for bigger lungs and guidance to run correctly;)
