starting to measure assignments based on
whether it is worth an all-nighter, and how many.

such a despicable show of pride.

its been long.
i'm still alive.
and well.

so my wallpaper has ecc 3:11 on it.
and just the other day when i see it for the nth time i realized it said
he has MADE.
past tense.

in other words.
everything will be beautiful.
a good thing to keep in mind yeah.

i kinda worry for singapore.
don't know why, just kinda do.

its been about 4 months
and i've been through a fair share of
ups and downs, hard work, good fun,
but sometimes it all still seems so surreal.

not quite "i'm going to wake up anytime now",
don't need a reality check.
its like i haven't quite grasped the impact, consequence, the entire circumstance.
there's still this wonderment walking through the campus
i'm still hyped up of being in university. (wow university)
and there's only a limited number of semesters left, oh man.

HAHA. i guess my mind's still stuck at 18 years old.
i hope the number of posts on your facebook wall doesn't become a measure of a person's popularity in the high school world. by the hammer of thor facebook is becoming so official and powerful its scary.

Harry is staring at his wall waiting for you to write on it so he can reply with more than a "thank you!"

out of the bluest blue david hoe started a conversation on msn.
and pointed out that
its 21 days till 21!

now how often does a person go through that?
nope. not often at all. today's a special day!

and by mathematical induction,
if x is special
and x+1 is special.
and k is special where k is any real number,

then everyday is a special day!

please excuse the title. due to the lack of river valley alumni in montreal (one, actually) harry has been lacking in the lame jokes department.... hurhurhur

i really do enjoy taking the architecture history course. while being reminded of age of empires and trebuchets chukonus priests ballistas big daddys and all that, learning about greeks, romans, and constantinopole does prompt a few "so this is what it was like with paul" at the same time.

so during the research for my paper i came upon this:
"Emperors tried to minimize contact between army and civilians, perhaps for fear that city life would soften soldiers. Thus the army had developed its own societal system apart from the rest of the population."
which led me to think about
"no one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs- he wants to please his commanding officer"
(and be glad that saf gave bookouts and night outs, but wonder if that was the cause of nasi lemak's escape, but that's another matter)

and i can't help but think wow. God must have put a lot of faith in us when he lets us undisciplined, untrained soldiers live in the city. the balance between reaching out, not being softened, and hardening yourself is mind boggling. which kinda goes back to explain why God chose to do it this way, doesn't it.
