Now is not the time to take the easy way out, and you both (somewhere, deep down) know it.
As soon as you cut that corner, you'll realize you need it -- and it just won't look the same stitched Frankenstein-style back on.
The shortcut looks awfully appealing; think of all the time you'll save! But doing it right the first time will be far speedier in the long run.
Thinking ahead like this isn't the most thrilling thing to do, but it is the smartest. Help each other be the smartest versions of yourselves possible.

the ballots were read...
threaded...
tabulated...
mixed with the proper chemicals...
burned...
and the smoke was white.
the College of Cardinals has decided...and a new pope has risen from among them. Too bad the camerlengo wasnt crazy enough to fake the return of a long forgotten enemy...it wld haf made things more interesting...hehe
was quite delighted that i finished reading Angels & Demons. The procedures in the Sistine Chapel was still fresh in my mind when i happened to flip channels & saw the documentary on it...'Inside the Vatican' - ChannelNewsAsia..
from print to screen...seeing all the various places in Vatican City..the Sistine Chapel..the Vatican Archives..Galileo Galilei's handwriting...etc
and to think i was only interested in romance novels before...haha
thank YOU for introducing Dan Brown to me...however indirectly...
tickets anyone???

"Say NO to caSINo"
Illumination....
Saturday, April 16, 2005
cant seem to be able to put the book down...no matter how hard i try to restrain my fast reading speed. the mysteries of the Path of Illumination calling out to me...forcing me to tread the path together with Robert, Vittoria, the Hassassin and the four cardinals...
*clock chimed indicating 8.30am*
damn! im late!managed to depart for sch by 9.30am thus reaching at 10.20am.
surprisingly the mtg hasnt started yet...phew.
::12.30pm::
tried to get abg mas to follow us to ice palace...but he had other engagements...haiz~ takper2 :p
::1.00 to 3.00pm::
first time...
putting on skates.
wearing gloves.
stepping into an ice ring
thankfully...i dint fall at all. miraculous. haha. but i suppose it wld haf been better off if i had fell.
my feet got numb from the cold quite a number of times. and experienced some pins and needles too...dono how dey can continually skate for long periods of time. niwae, started off slow and totally not in the rhythm. den once i got the rhythm i wld eventually stop and grab the nearest railing. coz i juz wasnt comfortable with the speed i was gg. wats the point of skating gracefully when u cant control the speed which will eventually cause u to fall ungracefully?
i was skating by myself moz of the time...by choice.
allowed sham and siti enjoy the speed...haha no way was i gonna stop them haf their fun juz coz im a beginner... ;)
::3.00 to 4.40pm::
had LJS again...den took 99 wif sham. were discussing on how to solve our respective problems. him having much better luck. :p
it started to rain heavily sometime during the busride...and i reached home drenched. almoz wished the unsheltered portion to my flat was longer..hahaha
::5.00 to 7.45pm::
read the remaining pages of Angels & Demons...thus completing the Path of Illumination. It truly is...illuminating.
freedom!!...or isit?

2nd April 2005
a date many will remember...
=======================
was woken up by a sudden downpour of rain. checked the time: 7.30am...30 mins b4 my desired waking time. tried to get back to slp but cldnt, had a strange feeling in my tummy...probly frm the anxiety for the day.
got to noe later tt ddad wants 20 nht magazine to b distributed during gpa...so had to disturb a number of pple early in the morning so as to fulfill tt wish...sori ddad, jib, yat, sham & anione else whom i disturbed...
surprisingly i was able to get ready faster than was usual...went to yat's hse to get the key...juz so happened that i had to wait at mls fer almoz an hr coz some1 woke up late.. :P
dup dip dop, reached peace centre at ard 11.30am...the uncle recognised us immediately & we juz had to hand him the original..while waiting..thot of taking a pic wif the bkgrd of exotic locations...but pple were looking hahaha
somerset...one station away...was in the same train as nurliyana...but we appeared later...took the chance to take photos..hehe
========================================================
saw the SSPians bz getting ready...den went to eat at the fdcourt...saw hazrul nizam & took more pics...
waited for abg mas b4 entering the audi...so happened tt mls peeps were sitting behind ddad's family :)
the hosts were abit better this time round...pakaian pon lawa...mcm nak bersanding pula mereka berdua..hehe
abg mas was like asking us to guess wat the opening act wld be coz he received inside info .. :p
niwae, hazrul sang 'blah,blah,blah' & 'kaulah segalanya'... tho it was abit malu-ating that there was technical errors...ape la babe...i hope that wont happen to me on the 30th later..
=====================================================
performaces that i like: (in no rating order)
- SP - the atmosphere portrayed was unique. cld feel the effort put in..cldnt really get good pics due to the lighting..hope the video recorded is ok..the song is lovely though it drowned out the voices a little...at some parts cldnt hear the guitar..plot was good & the performance was artistik enuf & not too abstract that it was easy to relate n thus understand. ending was quite impactful...gave a certain eerie atmosphere...a wonderful performance... tho my frenz frm other schs wld say im biased.. u weren't there so :p
- Westspring - the cat concept is cute. love the song...& especially the way they ended. so unexpected and humourous.
- MI - not as gd as the saringan...but relatively ok. expected sth better tho.
- TPJC - it was interesting...liked the crazy character hehe...almoz feared tt we wld lose to them.
juz one comment for SRJC - the performance was too abstract tt quite a number of pple cldnt understand what was ur message. period.
================================================
distributed the nht magazines during the break...dono how many actually kept their copy...coz one was found beneath a seat at the end of the event...sakit seh hati ~
======================================================
de results:....
7 prizes in all... 3 grp prizes & 4 special category prizes...
as each prize was announced...my heart was thumping like crazy...saying 'sp' with every beat...
was a bit dissapointed when we dint win any of the 4...but kept the hope tt we'll make it in the top 3...
third..... TPJC!! congratz....
second... Politeknik Singapura!!!!! Yessa! U guys did it! Am so proud of all of you!
all of our prayers has been answered..for this great moment.
im sure ur happiness was ten times the supporter's... (",)
=============================================
aft dat, i wasnt really paying attn to the winner...shouts&screams were still overflowing from before dat i almoz dint hear westspring clinching the top spot.
=================================================
who cares if we dint get first? SSP won. dats all we need to be elated for. =)
Congratulations once again Sang Singa Purba...
you're almost here....

Almost here by Brian McFadden and Delta Goodrem
Brian:
Did I hear you right?
'Cos i thought you said, Lets think it over.
You have been my life, And I never planned,
Growing old without you.
Shadows bleeding through the light,
Where the love once shined so bright,
Came without a reason.
Don't let go on us tonight,
Love's not always black and white,
Why haven't I always loved you?
Delta:
And when I need you
You're almost here
And I know thats, Not enough.
And when I'm with you,
I'm close to tears,
'Cos you're only almost here.
Brian:
I would change the world,
If I had a chance,
Oh won't you let me.
Treat me like a child,
Throw your arms around me,
Oh please protect me.
Both:
Bruised and battered by your words,
Dazed and shattered now it hurts.
Brian:
Oh havent I always loved you?
Delta:
And when I need you
You're almost here
And I know thats, Not enough.
And when I'm with you,
I'm close to tears,
'Cos you're only almost here.
Delta: Oooh oh
Both:
Bruised and battered by your words,
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Brian:
Haven't I always loved you?
Delta:
But when i need you,
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I never knew how far behind I left you
Delta:
And when I hold you,
You're almost here
Brian:
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
Both:
And now I'm with you, I'm close to tears
Brian:
'Cos I know I'm almost here.
Both:
Only almost here
