Ah...its been say almost 3 years since i've not gone for lecture,labs,tutorials and now gonna restart everything again.Though I've been waiting to go back to study I had to put in more steam into pacing with the classes here.We do get quite an amount of pre lab assignments,tutorials in which we have to answer review questions,essays from econs discussion.I can say that the last 2 days since classes started was definately not a piece of cake.But im thankful that there are new friends to be met everyday (singaporeans who grow increasingly friendly while they're there;p) and friendly australians to greet and start a light conversation with.Chemistry Lecture was good so far as the lecturer was concise and more importantly he speaks slowly for the asians to understand him. Well econs would pose a different challenge as I had no prior experience and I just spent approx 1.5hrs on understanding a lecture notes of 18pages. haha had to use wikipedia to search for definations like opportunitic cost ,inplicit and explicit cost.etc. Guess I have to end here as it's getting late jus wanna say.. all is well here ,i thank you all for your prayers and concern and i hope the same or even better is happening to you all back home.Can't wait for the day when I return where we can catch up on our own interesting lives! take care ,peace out!

*yawnz*..trying to keep myself awake from sleeping spell.But the past few nights were so unspeakably awesome that i'm afraid that i may forget if I dun pen all these down on my blog. Met up with TP/RP campus crusade for Christ this monday,sweet and thoughtful of them to have arranged a farewell. Was really touched by the farewell sharing they each blessed me with.From the way all of us fellowshipped on monday,I remember about how the apostle Paul stressed on the importance of christian love and fellowship, in Romans he reminded and exhorted the church in Rome on the importance and defination of love(chap 12),to the corinth church he condemns the division among them(1Cor 3) and later on in Ephesians he stressed how vital being united as various body of Christ with the illustration of the different human tissue which are responsible for holding the body together. Thank you TP/RP for the great experience where we learn and grew together for the past 5yrs of my life.Thank God for each other and continue to serve one another with great fervent love and unity in our Lord Jesus Chirst!

Got up today at 9am,an hour pass my planned timing to meet my pri school and season pal of mine,Hock Guan for breakfast.Could still remember the time when he was there as the bigger brother of mine who will protect me if any bullies taunt me..Of course I was quite skinny then(till pr 4) when I GAINED weight from eating more than what health education would consider a balanced diet.Remember also then he was my great"digimon" buddy as he had spent time during classes to help me attain" mummymon" from my very rookie"agumon" Well we had a realli great time of catchin up and checkin out anime toys and clothes(for the next cosplay prob??) Next I went on to watch dark knight with my pal Johnathan-my friend since sec1 and had ourselves glued to the seats for 2.5 hrs. A single comment on the show- Superb,A must watch!!"Good old" Johnathan was my mentor back in my secondary school prefectorial board and he was the first friend whom i remembered sharing Christ to me.I thank God for him that im able to hear of the world's most important fact and decision to turn my life around.
