Just talked to the University of Calgary.

They said that, due to some misunderstanding on their part, I can study there but not take any engineering modules.

Great.

So that's that. No more SEP for me.There goes that part of my dream.

Only good thing is that: I haven't bought my air tickets yet(was supposed to do that today). Because if I did, then I would really be in trouble. No refund. So Thank God!

i love this song...its so darn nice!

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I've saw your pretty face

A thousand lights had made me colder and I don’t think I can look at this the same

But all the miles had separate
They disappear now when I’m dreaming of your face

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin
as the people either way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
but I hope that it gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know,
and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls,
when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby
but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Exams are finally over... This sem was a veritable disaster
My fault really
I think I chose a wrong module, and that really screwed up my life... :(

But its over
and a new chapter starts...a far more important, and infinitely more precious one....

think its called the holidays...
possibly my second last holiday before I start work.

Went to see off Faizhal yesterday, after my RC paper, which was another disaster... but I won't dwell on that, or my bloody carelessness!

Anyway, I went to see Faizhal off at the airport. I knew that chances are, I won't see him again, till August next year. He's a good guy, loud, funny with a great sense of humour and a terrific, booming laughter. He is always out to help a friend, and he will be missed.

The rest went to play pool after that, but I was too tired, and I didn't bring the home keys, and I knew my parents wouldn't sleep till I came home, and they had had a long week, so I left and came home.

Funny thing is, I couldn't sleep even after I came home. I watched soccer, than rugby and then read " The Hawk Eternal" by Gemmel. I was bone tired, but I just COULD NOT sleep.

Thing is, I have been confused these past few days. I feel that I lack purpose. I don't have an ambition, I don't know what I am doing with my life. I don't know who I am, nor what I want out of life.

Great... midlife crisis and I am not even 23 yet.

I hope God has plans for me... and I wish he would tell me if he did. But He works at his own time, and I will know when He feels the time is right. Still... I wish I knew.

On other note, I might leave on the 22nd or the 23rd of Dec. Yet to be decided. My cousin wants me to visit him in San Francisco, before going to Calgary. Still discussing...

Three women die together in an accident and go to heaven. When they get
there, St. Peter says, "We only have one rule here in heaven. Don't step on
the ducks."

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are ducks all over the place.
It is almost impossible not to step on a duck, and although they try their
best to avoid them, the first woman accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest man she ever saw. St. Peter chains
them together and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a duck is to spend
eternity with this ugly man!"

The next day, the second woman accidentally steps on a duck, and along comes
St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing, and with him is another extremely ugly
man. He chains them together with the same punishment as the first woman.

The third woman has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all
eternity to an ugly man, is very, VERY careful where she steps.
She manages to go months without stepping on any ducks, but one day St.
Peter comes up to her with the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes
on... very tall, tan, muscular, and with good hair. St. Peter chains them
together without saying a word.

The woman remarks, "I wonder what I did to deserve being with you for all of
eternity?" And the guy says, "Well, I don't know what you did, but I stepped
on a duck."

Thanks for the talk...Its amazing how 3hrs could just pass like that. But it was nice, and it was good to get it off my chest.

Gonna miss these conversations..

Good luck for the exams

Congrats Wen!
went out today after a really long time and it felt really good!

I know i sound like some strange person who hasn't seen the light of day, but then again, thats a pretty accurate description of my life this sem...Basically been a lab rat...my life revolving around the gym,school and home.

So I went out today to scout around for a laptop at cityhall... not to but, but to look at the designs and the prices... . Then went to SMC2005, a science and medicine convention at raffles city convention hall. Wen was having a presentation there, and i wanted to see it. Eventhough it was technically for registered people only, both wendy and I confidently strolled into the hall behind wen, even though I was in jeans, a polo t and slippers, while everyone else was in shirt, trousers and shoes...

Think its the glasses...makes me look intelligent and that i belong among smart people. :P

Speaking of smart people, congrats Wen! I knew you worked really,really hard on this. I know how exhausted you were after almost every single day, working at the clinic and the hospital, especially towards the end. And you deserve everything that you got today and more! I'm really really happy for you! It was terrific! And seeing them put the winners tag on your report...WOW!

And thanks for the lunch! The food was good, but, as usual, the company was better! It felt really good talking with the two of you. Hope the wedding goes smoothly tomorrow! And see you after the 5th!

And your hair looked really good with the highlights. But I think you will look even better when the colour fades a bit, and when you let your hair down... trust me ;)... you'll look even more stunning then you do now. :)

Also met Grace today. The aikido one, not the NJ or CE one... Haven't seen her for ages...neither she nor I have been going for training recently. Apparently, she was having a presentation there too. Heh! What a coincidence. It was nice talking to her after so long... She has not changed one bit! :)

Went back to NUS after that... back to the VI...initially not very productive, but things got better after a while...

okok...time to sleep...3 am already, tomorrow going back to school... SIANZ! :(
