Goodbye 2007 Hello 2008

Today is the last day of 2007... well 2007 is a year of ups and downs... 1st half of the year was rather ok... but second half of the year is one of the most challenging period of my life... even my exams are taken with emotional baggage but things seems to be better now... and praise God i i am just 0.04 points away from my target CAP score.... I've learn a lot of things this year.... learning how to be a better person and living life with expectation mangement... a few more mins will the new year... i believe 2008 will be a better year for me... i know God will never shortchange me... hoping for quite a few things...... like better results.... better ppl relationships.... being healthy and be happy.... also hoping to be selected for SEP to Australia.... going for a world class dive trip... learn Nitrox.... and even more... hope next yr life will be more happening in a gd way...

Anyway below is one of the pic i got for christmas service... look at the background is so nice! anyway just made cheesecake... hope it will be good as is been long i have made one! okies... 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my frens!!!!

Praise God!

Praise God... after much prayer and putting my faith in it... my CAP score once again increase and is a big increment with an A for the first time... 2 things was not very glad is that my Industrial Organisations I scored a B- instead of a minimum B which i was hoping as i studied for that paper for like a week and my Foundation of Econometrics more than a week... surprisingly those i studied for a short while instead score better... Ironic... not only me.. other ppl also feeling the same way... but overall im still happy about it as my CAP rose from 3.28 to 3.46 with this semester CAP at 3.875.... but a tiny bit of 0.04 more to hit the 3.5 mark....

Anyway Christmas service was gd... Drama was fantastic and best of all the candlelight service is so nice! will post the pics once i got them!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Happy Holidays! Will update more soon!

Sentosa Marine Life

Today while i was working in Sentosa... somehow i bump into some of these creature underwater... Firstly i saw this nudibranch...

Glossodoris atromarginata

The other nudibranch i saw was very young... can't really tell from which species but these 2 is the nearest match from what i observed...

Chromodoris annulata

Hypselodoris kaname

Crab

Black Spotted Pufferfish in a pair

There are more spieces of marine life i saw too... when i find the pics will blog it!

Life of Hosea

Imagine u as a successful righteous man married to a prostitute or a flirticious wife... while shes your wife she continue to flirt and sleep with other man... until one day she decide to elope with another man and abandon you... well that happened to a person in the bible called Hosea who is one of the prophet of God in the old testements... God commanded Hosea to marry a prostitute... i guess Hosea at that time was thinking... "God are u mad?"... well in the end he obeyed and married her and the first few lines happened... in the end Gomer which is the name of the wife got cheated by the man she eloped with and the man sold her to a slavery market to be a slave... one day Hosea was in town and while he is walking on the streets he saw Gomer his wife again... as he walked towards her... she hid herself away from him... when Hosea stands right in front of her... she told him that she is not worthy for him as she is guilty of what she has done... but Hosea redeemed her from the slave market and bring her home and clothe her with the best clothes and fed her with the best food and take her as his wife again and loved her for the rest of his life...

Well this story is also similar to the parable of the prodigal son in the gospel in the new testement... the above story is a symbol of Israel time and time again sin against God... but in the end God still forgive them and accept them.... everytime i hear the story of Hosea.. i feel so touched... is like wow.... what a wonderful husband.... even when the wife is so unfaithful he still love her... well in the modern days i feel quite sad when ppl just a little dispute between husband and wife.... the common word that utter out of thier mouths ruthlessly was Divorce... another thing that i felt from the story was acceptance... which make me think that many ppl in this world is looking for acceptance... everything they do just to gain acceptance affirmation and assurance... a lot of times i wanted to blog about Hosea as he always reminds me of God unconditonal Love... but somehow i didn't do it... shall blog it now haha... yeah... somehow felt inspired too =)

Oh yah well done Man U hahaha.... 1 point behind Arsenal and well done middlebrough destroy the egg at the L section of the table of Arsenal... Man U 4tw!

Rest!!!

Finally get to rest today before i go for a campfire later in the evening... was very exhausted due to work cos is quite physical in nature and the excess nitrogen in my brain due to breathing too much compress air... thats why everytime i go home after work i always knock out and doze off on the train... now still feel the swaying of left and right due to the surge while working...

Anyway now i suddenly have the urge to watch Animal Planet and Discovery Channel!!! argh... i got no SCV at home.. dad dun like it....

Tired

As the previous predicted and the title suggests...

1st Day of Work

Well today is my first day of work.... was raining like nobody business in Sentosa... Even before I start my work i was so careless dat i left my wet suit at home... but nvm manage to get a rented on as my boss manage to get it... anyway did my first dive in local waters... Visibility is very bad but still able to see an arm length vis and at the most 1.5metres... leisure diving and dive to work is very different... haha... Kind of tiring when diving to work... basically what i do is to unscrew the old nut... put in a longer nut... put the prefabricated metal rack in place... insert the treaded bolt and tighten it with nuts and washer... Wah Lah! done! lol... not easy job cos there is surge while working and a lot of sharp barnacles... but today was rather clumsy and slow cos was getting used to the procedure... yeah... and surprisingly there are fishes though some are weird looking lol... they seem to be interested in the things we do and come near us... after a day work was darn tired and sleepy.... yeah tml will be even more xiong... but quite worth it as the pay is gd... and i made an Islander membership as i have to pay the entrance fee myself... but with a gd pay i dun mind hahaha! and one things interesting is that me and my boss walk around in wet suit... kind of weird cos we look like aliens at beach station in wet suits.... Ok gotta rest for tml work... cya!

Work Work

Tml will be day one of my work... wonder how will it be... how i wish i could get out of the country to do my favourite stuff but this time no money no ppl... so gotta work... hope tml Sentosa waters not so murky and weather will be ok... This holidays seems to be very short... hope i can spend it well =)

Anyway came across this website

Transition

After exams i seems to feel very tired and lost.... no morale in other words.... sometimes the past is still huanting me...

Liberation

I do herby declare that I free from Exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!!!!! after a gruesome paper writing 3 essays today totally tortured me when the questions are kind of hard to answer.... didn't write much but hope can do well for it anyway ec2303 exam on wed is wicked sick..... the paper is tough... unlike previous yrr.... it seems like this sem all the papers are very tough compared to previous sem for the modules i took now.... anyway hope that i can score minimum CAP of 3.5 for this semester....

So far i feel liberated but at the same time quite bothered cos too many things in my mind now... like work... christmas.... and more... will be starting work on monday at sentosa... kind of excited on one hand as is quite well paid but on the other hand diving in Singapore = Murky and yucky sea water... which means my equipment is going through tough times... Anyway will blog more when i find the time and inspiration too... =) tata~
