September 2008


Given that I have no paper today, I am trying to make the best use of my long weekend. By God’s grace, I finished up the first draft for my theatre portfolio yesterday night, and essentially finalized my theatre research commission on friday night. Only problem is, now I have to get to revising for Math and Chem.

My plans to wake up early to start revising were foiled by me sleeping in. I got up at approximately 0930. Well, at least I am well rested. I give thanks for that!

On another note, I’ve thinking about a few of individuals lately. I think its because of the distance that they preoccupy my mind. They’re not too alien that I don’t even know their last names and not too close so that I can just pick up the phone and have a chat about nothing in particular. Perhaps its because of this that they keep popping up in my consciousness, often when I least expect.

Finally, I woke up this morning having actually dreamt of myself looking up the definition of an aliphatic compound. The dream definition (something about calculating solubility of a compound based on the percentage by mass of certain atoms in the molecule) astonished me even as I got out of bed. It astonished me until I checked out the definition in real life, and realized that it is best not to do exams in semi-conscious, sleep-walking state. (The true definition of aliphatic is: referring to an organic compound without aromatic rings.)

  1. Trying to revising and revising for exams. It seems that some sort of dynamic equilibrium has been established between the two. Almost every time I try to rev up the latter, the equilibrium shifts to oppose the change. Curse you Le Chatelier! (Frenchy!)
     
  2. Following the to-and-fro of the legalization of gay marriages in the USA, and what the presidential candidates have to say on the issue. I remain unsure on what stance the church, individual Christians and Governments should be. Consequentially, I’ve also been watching Ellen Degeneres’s stand up comedy. And have been absolutely wowed by her talent.
     
  3. Working on my theatre arts portfolio, which is essentially a 3000 word reflection on the past 2 years. As a result, I started reliving some truly beautiful memories especially those from Love/Retreat.
     
  4. Wanting to properly update this blog, but failing at most times.
