Roger Federer. Yet another magical moment.
confessions of a pwnstar
“ Whenever something like Fort Hood happens you say, ‘This is not Islam.’ I believe that. But you keep telling us what Islam isn’t. You need to tell us what it is and show us how its positive interpretations are being promoted in your schools and mosques. If this is not Islam, then why is it that a million Muslims will pour into the streets to protest Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but not one will take to the streets to protest Muslim suicide bombers who blow up other Muslims, real people, created in the image of God? You need to explain that to us - and to yourselves.
Thomas L. Friedman
“ The world’s tallest skyscraper, the Burj Dubai, is due to open in January. It looks like an almighty shard of misplaced enthusiasm: a lofty syringe injecting dementia directly into the skies, a short-lived spike on a printed readout, or a pin pricking a gigantic bubble. Not a shape you’d want to find yourself unexpectedly sitting on, in other words. Just ask the world’s financial markets, once they’ve finished screaming.

Goodbye For Now
Today, I officially sold Emma, to a nice gentleman who will be donating it to a charity that is going to teach less-privileged children photography fundamentals.
I’ve really had great times and taken some memorable shots with Emma, from times with the girlfriend, to friends’ birthdays, and with me throughout my internship at Cycle & Carriage. Those were wonderful times. Thanks for always being reliable and never giving me problems.
Goodbye for now.
Top 10 Green Living Myths
All you people who bought into the superficial ‘reduce your carbon footprint’ mambo-jumbo, eat your heart out. And this isn’t by any means some source that has suspect credibility, mind.

Today, when I saw the first question of my exam paper, I laughed inwardly to myself. I was glad I SUed this module. Having said that, if I had put in a little more effort into preparing for this elective, I might have regretted using my SU option on this, because I felt the questions were do-able, and merely required the ability to identify the important details and find the correct concepts to apply (okay, I know that just sounds like the tactic for any examination, but in truth and fairness, that’s what I really felt about this paper).
Marvin was noticeably upset about the week that’s passed because of the lose-lose situation surrounding his TCM paper, and then this BM211 paper. If he wasn’t my friend I’d be laughing at him rather hard.
I decided not to do any studying after my paper today, and only resume tomorrow. I need a respite from the mugging.
Tomorrow will be the start of my final stretch. It will be difficult to concentrate, but it should not pose a problem. Discipline and efficiency will be key.

Got monstered by my first examination paper today. CBC811, Forensic Science. Please, if you are reading this and are planning to take this elective in future semesters, be very prepared. It is not as easy as some people make it out to be. Lectures will be interesting but do put in the effort too.
Trying to put it behind me so that I can work on my next paper tomorrow afternoon.
BM211, International Business Environment. I’m so glad I S/Ued you, because I have absolutely no mood to study for this paper and am currently contending with a headache as well.
Can’t help but keep thinking how all these things may deprive me of my Second Upper Honours at the end of my academic career in this university. I have to put that out of the way for now, though. Must focus on what is immediately in front of me and within my control.
CONCENTRATE.
Name Decided
My G11 will be named Hayden from hence forth. That caps a week and a bit of name-thinking.
Straight and Happy
This is why I’m not gay. Check it, Dean. Haha.
All In A Day's Work
This is what’s been going on for the past month and a half at least, opposite my home. I suspect they’re working on the extended MRT track to my area. There goes the beautiful greenery outside of my window. Sigh.
So anyway, life goes on, and I handed over to Shuls her companion for Ah Toot, who is also affectionately named Ah Pui. If you’re wondering who gave them their names, it’s certainly not the author of this blog.
I think he’s frowning because of his name.. Well, I would’ve given him a more respectable name, but I’m not his owner, so that other person has the last word when it comes to this issue.
And I finally had garlic prawn pasta from Coffee Club! Here’s a shot taken with my G11. It took me 4 attempts to get a really clear shot. I think my technique needs work, or maybe I was just too hungry by the time the food came.
Back home, the girlfriend introduced the new addition to the incumbent. I’ll let the following images conclude this entry.
