You know sometimes it is amazing how many ways I can put myself in positions that will just about any normal person. People have heard some of the crazy stories I have surviving some of these epic ordeals and some have actually jumped to the conclusion that I will do so again. This 2 weeks is another one of those kill-myself-positions with a lab exam immediately after the Easter holidays and an assignment due the following Tuesday which I haven't started at all. Granted it's not the worst I've been in, but still, you'd think that I will learn.
Monday was a day of frustrations and also utter weirdness. I woke up early in the morning (by my standards) just to go and use the computers in one specific lab and to submit the assignment. The lab was locked. All other labs were fine except this one, the one that mattered. So risking everything I went back home and sent it there praying that my assignment will work and went to sleep after that. Barely half an hour later, I got a call from a company on whether I was interested in extending one of my magazine subscriptions. Told them no and went back to sleep. Ten minutes later got a call from a friend who asked me to be her character reference and needed me to fill in a form and have it signed in front of an authorized person, in this case was a pharmacist. So I agreed and it will take her awhile to get to me with the forms and stuff. Went back to sleep. Half an hour later I got a call from my friend saying she's at my place already. After that I couldn't sleep anymore and tried doing work but can't figure out why my programs are not working. Class in the evening and just found out that the assignment is due 10 days earlier than expected (stupid me). Panicked and went back and tried to finish up with the other work so I can do the assignment. Now the weird part, my sister came back and I was still doing work and all of the sudden, I see my cousin next to my door. I can tell that she's pretty close to being drunk and she just blurted that her boyfriend just dumped her. Naturally and not surprisingly she broke down in tears. Me being a guy who really doesn't know what to do when a girl cries, tries to comfort her in a so-what-do-I-do-now manner. While this is going on, my sister's friend is crazily drunk (and she's the happy drunk kind) pretty much leapt into my sister's bed along with a few more actions that I shall refrain from describing here. A minute later, something happened and my cousin just went ballistically angry. There is no such quota of F-bombs dropped in this house apparently. Not sure what happened but I think it has got to do with the whole break-up thing. Three minutes later, my cousin left still being nearly drunk and drove home despite our efforts in trying to stop her. My sister, being very tipsy and all, briefly described to me what happened before she crashed. Her friend KO-ed already. And then the house went silent again as though they were never here in the first place. Seriously, I thought I entered the Twilight Zone...
Anyway Belgrave is coming up and I am quite excited *blocks work to be done* about it because I'm going to be cooking again. Oh, and Chris Chia and Peter Adam is back doing the sermons in Belgrave this year. This basically the best time to be able to get to know some of the OCFers better, unlike July Camp where we expect a massive exodus back to their home countries. So despite all the work that I have to do, I'm just going to enjoy those 4 days in Belgrave and then later become a hermit. No promises that I will actually be one, in fact I won't be surprised if I managed to find even more ways to kill myself with seemingly impossible situations. But all of this surviving of course is not because I'm capable of doing great escapes but I believe that God has been utterly gracious to me. You know, every time I think about how on earth did I get away with whatever the situation that I was in, I occasionally would say to myself "Seriously God, I could have died there. Wouldn't it be easier if you just pressed the intercom button in my brain and say stop it?" But God is not about the easy as stated in Bible history. It's because of the crazily impossible things that He does bringing his people out of hardship to show that he is God. In the days leading up to Easter, it is good to reflect on the fact that He did the crazily impossible for us today to show that He has dealt with a big problem. He sent his son to die for us. To deal with sin, he did the crazy so that we might live again as it was supposed to be.
I'm going to leave it at there to simmer and go straight to the news:
The LHC is working fine now and once again physics can resume. Essentially, physicists are like a bunch of rednecks in a demolition derby, only instead of fast cars it's fast protons. And they love it when stuff gets smashed together and explode.
Sometimes I find it hard to believe that math in the States are 2 years behind everyone else. But I support this revamp.
It's bad enough that people do outrages things for proposing to their girlfriend, now weddings too. On that note, interesting records on the subject of wedding couples.
Something doesn't smell right about this.
I can imagine a situation of Failbooking.com about this
Life can sometimes produce stories that even the best minds can't
Have gamers sunk to a new low already? But seriously, an excellent way to make money playing games if you're a female gamer.
The U2 aircraft is still back in business. Now there's an idea, Bono + U2.
