~ RALLY RALLY RALLY ~

Don't know how many people caught the national day rally last night.
Even though it lasted 3 hrs plus, I didn't really feel bored. In fact i was rather
interested in what PM Lee had to say next. Which is rather amazing considering
that i can't really last 1hr with my lecturers.

Must say that he's an engaging speaker and has touched on topics that
have been avoided in the past. Seems like a new start and lots of changes
to be implemented.

Then again, it could be the case of wanting to impress and to give people promises
when one takes over a new post. Also i was wondering, if the previous 2 PMs
hadn't been the ones to enforce certain policies and encouraged savings, would there
be anything there for the new PM to make use of to make changes? Guess it's just
good timing and all.

At least i can say he's made a good start. Hopefully his years in politics under the guidiance
of his father and pm goh would enable him to be a more efficient minister. After all,
he's quite people orientated so we can expect him to feel more for the people, but hopefully
he's also able to be firm enough to make proper decisions.

*.... lots to do, new hopes
how one man in the right position
can be able to change mindsets
and influence others.... *

~ The procrastinating dawn ~

Bogged and tied down.
PHS is now known as NHS (NTU Home Stayer).
Living an enclosed life within a very large and hilly
enclosure. With it's own self supporting mart, canteens
and MAC.

6 Mods to clear this time round.
Slightly gappy timetable. 4 hr breaks.
Enough for a quick nap.

Lots of 1's and 0's. Even more K-maps, VEM, EVM
and MacQuinsly. AND, OR's and NOTs. Think very
soon i can see things like NEO.

Guess whats this is : $ 48 454C 4C4F (Hex)
Another way to rep: 01001000 0100010101001100 0100110001001111 (Bin)
In Ascii : H E L L O.
Amazing....
And i've got a lec who does such transformations on the fly.
No cals, no tables, no help.. no pause. She must be Trinity...

Having a GE this sem, first one so far.
Creative relations for life. So far quite intersting.
Discuss many things, confirmed things for me too.
Answered things i've been wondering about...

Sadly today, reminded of bonding.
Male bonding. Yes, it is rather strong.
Yet it's not something to bring around everywhere
into each part of life.
Only found during a certain time when all are gathered,
those who've gone through stuff together.
Can i ever be upgraded...

How funny now, in this stage, one is able to see
the growing process one has gone through, by
looking at others around.
When one does not hang his head down to see the
ants that much. He actually sees how many people
are the same. How many are going through their own
struggles...

Those sharks still haven't come, maybe they want to surprise us.
When can i move stuff back...?
Room kinda small now.

Mmmm still no time to upload pics...
hope to do that soon.
Hope to be able to get thru this sem smoothly...

~ Been a while ~

It's been a while since i've tried to last pen down any words.
The past weeks of moving into hall and trying to get to a good start with
school has been rather trying.

Been sorting out stuff the past days, clearing and keeping. Hiding stuff
so them "badies" can't take'em away. Storing my memories and filing my
docs. Came across many things, things forgotten things that made me want
to do something.

Realised i haven't actually been doing any writing to anyone these past years,
and after going through all those stuff, felt the need to write. Write to those
who mattered and those who's lives i've been wanting to acknowledge...

Those stored feelings that were written on paper by pen, is far more powerful
then any sms or electronic mails or any other mediums that are digital. There's
a somewat magical and personal touch when one write or makes something for
another. Like putting a part of themselves into their creation.

How i've missed those times i've done so. Done so in those younger years.
Maybe as we grow older, we may mature, may grow, yet who said growth was
always progressive. Maybe the things that mattered most in our youths are the
things that are left behind and the most valuable. Does the big picture always matters?
Does the worlds views constantly need to be imposed on ourselves...

Now we're running, now we're hiding. Creditors have come this day.
Hope it'll pass and things settle soon. See a light behind this coming event.
Hope that it'll be the end, where money doesn't have to be so tightly held.
Where every cent always being reminded to save... while others around
treat things with so little care.

Perhaps it's time to go back to my tuts.
Another time perhaps, to show some fireworks. :)
