Today’s gonna be my last day in the SS19A College Cell Group. I don’t know how it is gonna be. Though, I hear that most of the cell members aren’t gonna come. Sigh.

It’s amazing what a good breakfast does to you. Today, I had 2 half-boiled eggs taken together with bread, and a cup of Milo kau. Awesome stuff.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

    I totally enjoy breakfast. Of course, those who message me over MSN wouldn’t enjoy the sudden "I am currently idle" auto-responder message, because I was preparing and taking my breakie! I take my Milo in front my my computer. Unlike the quietness of the late night, mornings give me a peace and stillness that no other time in the day provides.

    And of course, when something goes in, something’s gotta come out. Naturally. I find that when I take breakfast, within 20 minutes I’ll feel like I need to use the toilet. Then, I’ll just wait for a little while longer and just when it’s ready, it slides out smoooooothly. Oh yeah. Much like giving birth. What am I saying. NOTHING like giving birth. Speaking of that, Karen has popped. Out comes, Caitlin Chan!

Anyhow, just a question. Did you take your breakfast today?

David[woohoo!]

    I crashed into the bloody not-so-Smart Tag bar. I have to admit that I could have avoided it, but the bloody system isn’t exactly the smartest system around. Man, why did that dumb Malaysian company come up with that 2nd grade technology to detect the not-so-Smart Tag in the first place?

IDIOTS.

    Somehow, this experience has created something in me, which I think is part of God’s plan. I was in the process of selecting a final year project title a week back and it caused me a lot of stressed. Everyone’s vying for a good title because the titles are laid out by the supervisors [lecturers]. I was praying that I pick a good practical project, as .. yeah .. I’m a practical person. I waited and waited, lecturer after lecturer gave their presentations. Everyone was asking,"What title are you gonna pick?" thinking that they might get an idea of which titles are the easiest, and fight for them by doing research early, and gaining the lecturer’s confidence obtaining their signatures on their project acceptance forms. Then one came along. New guy in the faculty, first time lecturing, and still doing post-grad. He shot out some titles over the transparency and went through all of it except the second last one. He commented that maybe that was a wee it too difficult, so he skipped it. While he moved on to the last title, shifting his transparency around, I caught a glimpse of the title.

Smart Tol System

    I remembered that I had this idea to .. improve upon the current not-so-Smart Tag system a couple of semesters ago, cause I was thinking about final year projects, and what idea should I take upon. Yeah, all the negative points of the not-so-Smart Tag came up such as having to slow down till 20km/h [absurd!], and having a bar right in front of you, knowing that if it doesn’t lift, you’re gonna CRASH into it. Gosh. My ears are steaming. *puuuuuuishhhhh

    Anyhow, I began seeking the Lord for His direction on this matter, and after speaking to the lecturer about it, he’s agreed to let me have it. Well, in the first place, there was no competition for it because he didn’t put it out to the students. Then, he was pretty excited about it, as I told him that I have been doing some research on RFID [a kind of technology lah] and it has already been implemented in the States, and bla bla bla. Awesome. Then, I sought an old friend’s opinion about it, driving over to her house at 1030pm and talking to her till about 1am about final year projects. Somehow, it all tied into the equation and everything fits. It’s an interesting feeling, when you think you are in God’s will. Somehow, there’s always that element of doubt that doesn’t really get to you, but it’s just that need to depend and trust in Him. It’s really unexplainable.

Above all, I really thank God for His guidance. Sometimes, it’s so evident that I don’t see it until I reflect upon it. Like today, as I sat down to write this. I am certain now, that it’s a title fit and set apart for me.

Thank You Lord.

Hey guys. just wanted to clarify. I’ve gotten busy as of late, and I don’t anticipate otherwise as I progress through my final year. I hope that you’ll understand that I’m not avoiding you [online] or anything, get the impression that I am not talking to you, ya? Here’s a little peek at my weekly university schedule.

Monday 2-5pm class
Tuesday 2-5pm class
Wednesday 2-5pm class
Thursday 2-5pm class
Friday 10-11am meeting with project supervisor, 1-3pm CF

I know it’s not too bad, but I’ve gotta prepare for class before 1pm, have lunch before 2pm. If there’s anything important, please don’t leave an online message. SMS would be a lot better.

PS: I’ve moved to a bigger room in the same house. Almost twice as large. Proud of the fact that I was able to dismantle 80% of my huge Ikea bed/table and twisting, turning, rotating it through 2 doors, and moving the rest of the stuff. Lotsa screwing around, I must add. Literally.
