i need total concentration...

trying to study...trying hard to study...trying real hard to study...

must study...must study hard...must study real hard...

well, guess tht's wut i'll be doing for the next 3 weeks...100% concentration is extremely challenging when it comes to studying...dunno y, but when i wanna read the slides, it makes me sleepy...my eyes gets heavy...n yeah, i end up sleeping...aarrgghhh...to really try to settle down n study is really taxing for my brain cells especially for the cells that triggers concetration n emitting all other distractions at the same time...it happens all the time in every exams...but i guess this would be my final obstacle...so y not giv this time a last try to really study? cuz i might not hav the chance to do this all over again...or would i want to? hahaha, of course not...

anyway, might not be able to update my blog for a few days...cuz my internet's bandwidth has exceeded again...yup, again n this month's cap has been reached much much earlier...so 6 days wif 28.8 kbps shared by 5 ppl? err...haha, guess tht's part of life isnt it? tolerance n patience goes a long long way...anyway, it wont really bother me much as i dont surf tht much...just msn would do these days...yea, the days of online computer gaming (referring to dota especially) has ended pretty much pre-maturedly n quite abruptly...but it was a good thing as i managed to finished all assignments on time, though abit last minute...but at least it's all done n over...n hopefully i did not do too badly, as all prayers has been made...could only leave everything to God to do the rest...gonna study soon...ciaoz...

God's portrait family...

my msn's nick today is 'wei aun :: i'm part of God's potrait family...' yup, it's this week's purpose driven theme, that is fellowshipping...n from today's reading, it just reminded me that i'm part of God's family...it's not that it just suddenly occur to me that all the while i'm part of God's family...that i hav a spiritual family...but it's just that prob my life hav been clouded by the things of this world that i hav just forgotten that i was part of God's family...but i guessed it's still never too late to realise sumthing...so wut am i going to do, now that i know i belong to this family all the while?...i guess that whenever everything just seems impossible or maybe everything seems to be against me or maybe i'm feelin so down that i just wished that i was never borned in this place or maybe i feel that i'm just hopeless...then, i should realise n take comfort that i'm part of God's family...n He knows wut i'm facing, n He'll always be there for me, n He'll just lift me up again, n that all this while He loves me still...takin comfort at this thought will be of great help to crush all trials in life...n in the Bible, it said that 'if God is for us, who can be against us?'...

well, so for today...went to church as usual...came back n slept...then when i woke up, just realised that we gonna hav a pot luck today...nope, not wif the usual church ppl...but we fellow malaysian frens...all apitians in fact...i contributed eggs since that's the only food that i have wif me n the rest r preparin either meat or vege...n yup, dinner is still being cooked, while i'm typin this...but isnt it nice that once in awhile, after such a long period of time, to hav this type of 'makan-ing' session...prob the last one we actually had sumthing like this was prob edward's birthday party n it was in may...n besides the long period of time, it was so timely too...after all the assigments, feastin would be a good option to chill n cool down...hahaha, anyway...gonna eat now...tmr gonna be the start of my studyin spree...later tonite got man utd vs arsenal...dunno gonna watch or not...maybe not, cuz like no one going...anyway, wutever the outcome, still gonna be an avid man utd fan...

start of my studyin spree?...well, shud hav started long time ago...

friday?...suppose to start studyin...but i guess it's not always easy when u attempt to do sumthing that u hav earlier planned on...anyway, went to david cordover's office n did the golden handshake...hahaha, therefore it signifies the end of our IE project...client's happy, we r happy too...now just prayin tht our grades for this subject wud be good...a 'HD' is wut we really want...a 'D' wud be a lil disappointing...anythin less than tht wud be unthinkable of...hahaha, abit ambitious but need to set our targets high at times...watched 2 movies today...haunted cop shop 2 n 50 first dates...both r comedies...it's good to hav a good laugh at times...especially after 2 stressful weeks of assignments...

for today, surf abit in the morning...then manage to start studyin abit...then bath, had indomee for lunch...then continue to study abit...then wah lau, sleepy liao...so slept for a good 3 hours...then now havin pizza hut for dinner...tried stuffed crust bacon...sumthing u cant get back home in kl cuz it's PORK...hahaha, anyway i thinked gonna watch the terminal later...prob gonna watch 1 movie a day if my studyin spree is on schedule...well, a person cant study the whole day rite...n watchin a movie is like wut? 2 hours the most?...anyway, things hav been happening, n going around in the hse...i guess sumtimes we need to be responsible n learn to take the initiative for our own work...our own interest shud be set aside first so tht we will not jeopardise the inconvenience of others...rite?...anyway, i truly thanked God tht i'm not in this situation as all assignments n projects hav been well-managed...now, it's just me alone to face the exams...then i guessed tht's all for my studyin years right from the time in kindergarten till uni...a break is well-needed...but then again, workin might not be such a good thing after all?...anyway, only time can tell...till then, i just hoped i can go into full studyin mode on monday onwards...

assignments r things of the past...it's time to step into new challenges...

hello ppl, it's been awhile since i actually blogged...well, the past few days could be summed up in two words..."Handheld Assignment"...abit last minute again, but this time the progress was much better than the first assignment...well, now i'm in the lab, just finished my interview for the handheld assignment...abit disappointing cuz might not get a HD although i did up to the HD req...cuz the tutor said my interface was not good enough n might lose quite alot of marks from the interface alone...but well, just had to be contented wif wut i get...anyway, learnt a lesson tht i shud put in more effort in wutever things tht i do...sumtimes, i think it takes a real beating to realise wut u hav been doing all the while is wrong...

so...yeah, hahaha...come to think of it..."I HAVE COMPLETED ALL ASSIGNMENTS!!!"...tht means tht i hav no more asignments to do in the future as this will be my last sem studyin...well, well...so i guess the next challenge would be in the workin world...but i will definitely miss the life of a student...cuz the tough part when studyin is only exams n assignments...whereas it's a totally different story when u r workin...n yeah, bout me stayin n gettin pr...right now, most likely i will go back to kl la...i guessed God has given me the answer...so i shud just obey Him...

right now...hav really been enjoyin readin the purpose driven book...really learnt alot from it from my daily reading...guess the book just really brings me closer to God...building a relationship wif Him...being His genuine friend...basically, preparing your life for eternity...life in this world is temporary...is only for such a short period of time compared to eternity, where it stretches till there is no end to it...n yeah, guess tht's all...feelin tired cuz of 2 weeks of hardcore assignments n very little sleep...till then, ciaoz...

away for so long...

well, hav been exactly a week since i blog...err, so wut did i do?...nothing much actually...i hav no choice but to finish both my research report for NA & NT...due on friday...n just started on the same week...wah lau, procrastination is bad man...this sem really slack...like my form 4 days...honeymoon yr...anyway, havent wished happy birthday to jon yet in my blog...so a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to jonathan wong for his 20th birthday on monday...went to a restaurant called cili padi in the city on sunday for dinner to celebrate his birthday...the place was not too bad...well, had a testimony session for him...things mentioned bout him are gentleman, nice guy, friendly, sacrificial and the list goes on...n yeah, being very forgetful too...hahaha, always hav a good laugh when he forgets bout sumthing...

well, fast forward to friday...friday was a relieve day for me...cuz finally finished 2 of my research report just on time...wah, hate writing research papers...it like took forvever...then there's ie presentation in the afternoon...hahaha, presentation was good...we were quite confident actually...cuz the client has sign off n managed to fix all major bugs...during the q&a session, jason ceddia n his team of "i gonna catch all your hidden bugs in your system" were only reduced to questions tht were pointless in the first place...prob they just asked for the sake of askin...well, now just hav to tidy up n update all our documentation n burn everything to a cd...n tht's it...a whole yr's project has been completed n done, thanx to all my group mates...they hav been excellent whole yr long...teamwork was alrite i guess...didnt really had any prob...God's blessing...

on saturday, was a day of beach hopping...hop to places like aspendale, chelsea, seaford n brighton...weather was cold but at least it didnt rain at all although the weather forecast predicted tht it might shower...well, it was a nice outing all together...oh yeah, sumthing funny or rather unfortunate happen...at aspendale, jon accidentally left his jacket n wallet on top of his car boot...then he just drove off lidat...then a kind driver asked us to pull over n told us bout it...then jon only realised tht his wallet was not wif him...hahaha, but he was cool bout it n even laugh bout it...maybe cuz there's only 20 bucks inside his wallet...then we searched high n low for it but only saw his jacket...then assumed tht sumone had took it...hahaha, come to think of it...it was really funny, maybe cuz jon keeps laughin bout it...

for today, it's as usual...going to church...new spiritual experience again...sumtimes, it all depends on our hearts on whether to seek God or not...hav been reading one chapter a day from the purpose driven life book...it's a really good book...the thoughts by rick warren r simple n straight to the point...every chapter feels like God is telling me sumthing directly...has changed my perception bout life...anyway, hope to see a breakthrough in my caregroup n all other caregroups n subsequently, the whole church at the end of this 40 days purpose...

ok...i guess tht's all...could feel tht i'm gettin lazier redi to update everything bout wut i did...will keep my future blogs short n simple...hahaha, anyway hav to start on my handheld assignment redi...due on thursday...then it's studying all the way till 12 nov...n wut's after tht?...i guess gettin crazy n enjoyin life till next feb at least...still not sure whether or not to stay...but could feel where God wants me to go n wut He's tryin to tell me...well, i guess i just hav to trust n obey Him...ciaoz for now...
