hehe.. wireless broadband.. i'm trying out this wireless broadband network in starbucks, near my college.. been wanting to do it for so long, now i've got my chance.. and its awesome!! but the downloading is slow.. my friend blames me for it.. oh well.. actually, i have nothing much to say today.. maybe something will happen later in the day that i may write about tonight.. see how lah.. have a good day!

an eventful day... today was the SIB Exist Sports Day 2003.. for those who have no idea, "Exist" refers to the group of church members who are in the young adults, college and secondary school divisions... i played football and the relay race.. won silver for the relay, so that was great.. i got first for football (from the bottom) after losing to both the secondary school team and the young adults team.. but it was totally awesome! and i'm burned out..haha but as i mentioned to one of my friends, i find sports as possibly the best means to unite people... it's interesting to note the way sports enhances co-operation, teamwork and thus, unity... i made so many new friends today and strengthened friendships with other too.. i have to offer my congratulations to my teammates (though we lost 4-1 and 7-0..haha), most of them medic students from IMU.. also to the organising committee led by Ps. Kay... to the teams we played and the sportsmanship they showed us, esp from the young adults who offered us water and a consolation goal..haha..you guys did great!.. and also for the refs involved.. great work.. and also to my teammates at the relay race.. check this out: from last place to second place!! and to the girls' relay team for winning the gold..congrats to all!! now for the anti-climax of the games: i had a muscle cramp when finishing the second game.. i'm ok now..:) overall, i had a great day... now on to more football tomorrow! kick the ball, guys

here's a movie to watch.. finding nemo.. it was relatively ok, i must say.... it was definitely a pleasant watch... the storyline was a nice one and the pelicans ("mine, mine, mine, mine..") rock!! i like the turtles using surf-style language..that was "sweeeeet, dudes.." anyways, finding nemo was quite ok, though i had recently watched the veggietales movie, jonah, which was even more exciting and a lot of humour plus a great moral lesson to learn, which was compassion and mercy.. if you guys get the dvd or vcd, its a must watch!!! oklah.. enjoyed my day and i hope you all enjoyed yours!

oh, a short testimony.. today's paper, government and politics unit 6, was considered to be the toughest of all papers.. it was a synoptic (which means it includes everything u've learned from earlier units) paper but also included economics and law as well.. as it shows, i had the jitters.. i was nervous and pretty uncomfortable.. had bulls in my stomach, not butterflies.. wanted to take a short nap before the paper but couldn't sleep so well.. and i really asked God to grant me peace of mind and calmness as i sat for the paper.. was pretty tensed up and stressed out, not to mention i was having flu the day before and took 12 hours of sleep, effectively not studying much the day before so i had a lot of work to do but God, being the gracious and loving God that He's always been, granted me the peace and calmness... it was simply amazing! i sat thru the whole paper being able to control my thoughts and to write them out well and properly organised.. superb, so praise God for that.. and also for all my friends who have been praying for me, all the way from the UK, Canada and locally as well, thanks you so much!! May God bless u richly!!

wow!!! i am just stuck... suddenly, a levels is but a distant memory. ok, not so distant, but it sure isn't that near now..haha after one and a half months of work, struggle, a lot of prayer, illnesses (flu and fever) and occasional bouts of football and two sprained ankles, I've finally pulled through. Its been an interesting, exciting and at times, harrowing experience but at the end of the day, I've finished what I've come to do and I have God to thank for all the support and guidance He has given me. i've gone through so much throughout the past exam period. all the books, notes and essays now look like museum archives as I look at them. but the archives speak of one and a half years of work and how God has led me in many other ways, including serving in the Christian Fellowship over the past months. truly, i must say, that over the past one and a half years, i've done so many things and experienced so much that i'm just amazed when i look back at it... all the debating, exams, cf camp, the world cup, church activities, the cf christmas presentation (who could forget the "little" boy who bragged about his encyclopedias!??!) and then taking over the presidency.. its been a truly awesome period of my life and i'm looking forward to the many wonderful things God has in store for me in the years to come. a new phase of my life comes ahead of me.. a levels is over and the page turns over to a new one.. what will fill it? i don't know.. but i'm waiting to find out.. i think the verse that spoke to me the most over the past months has been matthew 6:33 - But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well - at times my life just revolved so much around studies and i lose focus on Him..but this verse has kept me intact and focused upon the great guy Himself.. and things just fall into place.. and oh, one more thing.. always do things for the glory of God. i've made it a priority to ensure that when i study or sit for exams, i make sure that i give God the greatest glory.. it really helps keep u accountable especially when u waste time and then u remember that at the end of the day, God's glory is at stake and u're not doing ur best to give Him the glory He deserves.. well, two short lessons today.... and i'm just looking forward to my holidays and football!! hehe press on, soldiers...

yet again, God shows His mighty power.... i cannot but stand amazed at the way He does these awesome works.. today's a great example: i asked God for wisdom to do my stats paper earlier tonight (for those who don't know, a number of my papers actually start at 6 pm and some of them end at 7:30 pm.. how uncool is that?). and right into question no.3, i came stuck... i said, forget it, skip on to 4.. managed to do the rest and then go back to 3, not that the other questions had problems as well but thank God that i was able to pull through those.. and right there, as i stared at question no. 3, suddenly everything fell into place.. the graph, the statistical distribution, the mean and variance formulas.. everything!! in the blink of an eye, the things that i remembered from lectures reappeared though past year quetions had never questioned this way before! simply amazing.. and God has got all the praise for it.. for those who've been praying for me.. do remember to thank God for His guidance over my hand and mind throughout the whole exam period as well.. coming soon to an exam hall near you: Economics Unit 6, 20/6/03, the big A-level hit blockbuster (and i mean it!) enjoy the movie...

its been many weeks... i've added some stuff to the blog lately, including the flooble chatterbox and a site meter, at the bottom of the blog page.. had a problem working the archives, but i think i just got that sorted out.. anyway, exams are fine so far, praise the good Lord Almighty! 5 more papers to go and I believe He's gonna be with me all the way.. well, just a short update for ya'll.. i'm still alive and well.. will write more next time.. Godspeed.. PS: go ahead and type something in the chatterbox.. let me know what's going on in ur part of the world!
