Heard a very nice and inspirational phrase while watching the movie "Evan Almighty". It goes something like this "If someone prays for patience, do you think god gives them patience or the opportunity to be patient. If someone prayed for courage, do you think god gives them courage or the opportunity to be courageous? If someone prays for family to be closer, will god zaps them with a warm feeling or gives them the opportunity to love each other? "

I find this really meaningful and thought provoking. Have you ever prayed or hoped for something but didn't do anything to achieve it? I have and I'm trying to not just think but also do it. Not easy for me(cos I am lazy) but worth a try.

Dragon boating last weekend. Don't know why spms organizes this event when the dragon boat festival is not even around the corner. (Or is it?) Anyway, I joined and it was fun.

Too bad that the bus driver went to the wrong place and cause us to waste so much time waiting for all the participants to come and in the end, only managed to play for an hour.

Short but tiring and fun.

Free red bull( too sweet for me)

I plan to update weekly now but don't know if I can or have anything to update. Now, it's late and it's time for me to sleep.

First Day Of September

As I am typing this, I am hearing the sound the bell that will ring every 12pm of the first day of every month. But this time, it was rather soft and almost couldn't catch it.

After going for the intern fair, I realized quite a lot of companies need maths graduate but most is dealing with statistics instead of applied maths. So, I think I have chosen the wrong track.

It's okay as it's too late to change now and I may not be doing a job relating to maths in the future.

So many problems with the timetable now, need to change my plans just to accommodate a core that was released so late after my planning was done. Didn't want to take it actually but school actually send us email, warning us that not taking it was at our own risk. So, I have to drop 2 modules just to have that one core module that span 3 days of the week. I feel the school is not doing us a favor with all the bad timing of the modules but no choice, we still have to take them.
