Finally, trials is over. I finally have the time to sit here and blog whatever that is in my mind. To be honest, the only thing that has been clogging up my mind for the past one week is stupid SAM syllabus. Like what Vivek said before Chemistry paper: "Later go home have to pour out all the chem info and stuff the brain with physics". SAM is that sad, especially if you take all the 3 science subjects.

First day of exams I had Chemistry, which wasn't too bad as it was an afternoon paper. I had the most time to prepare for it since it was the 1st paper. It wasn't as hard as I thought.

Second day had ESL, also afternoon paper. I totally did not touch ESL until 1hour before the exam. Ask a few friends to confrim the letter formats and just langgar the paper. Thank God the listening component did not have that irritating accent.

Third day was Physics. The worst part is it was a morning paper. Exam starts at 7am, so have to reach college by 6.30am. Wth rite? 3 hours of physics at 7am in the morning isn't fun. Trust me.

The last day was the killer. Maths in the morning and Biology in the afternoon. The previous day, I read bio like a mad donkey until my brain couldn't take anymore. By the time I finished revision, I was too tired to do maths exercise. So what I did? I just copied a few examples of difficult qeustions on to my formulae sheet (Yes, we are allow to bring in 2 A4 papers of formulae sheets), and went to sleep. Without any maths practice at all, I went to take the exam. Morning paper somemore, confirm DEAD. Later in the afternoon was Bio. 25 MCQ, 15 subjectiveQ and 2 one-page-long extended response essays in 3hours is definitely enough to kill your hands. We had to write NON-STOP. We were practically racing against time, but only with our hands. After 3 long hours...



I was so tired I didn't have much mood to celebrate. The ulcer below my tongue has disabled me to talk nor eat properly. In addition to that both sides of my teeth and gums are hurting like hell. Cannot enjoy food, cannot share joy with friends. Life is miserrable when you have ulcers, especially below the tongue.

Yesterday, after my last paper, I was suppose to follow up with sponsors but I just couldn't talk. So screw it la (Sorry SAC). I went to SLR, thinking that I can sleep there, but I was wrong. Ended up playing game in Banana laptop. Papaya, Elephant and Banana went to CC after that. I wanted to go, but I was just too tired. I ended up rotting in SLR until meeting time. Still couldn't talk, I felt damn paralysed. (I feel like swearing la) GAHH!! After meeting went for dinner. Guess what I had for dinner? 1 cup of ice-nestlo. Thats all. I couldn't even bite maggie mee. WTH LA!!

At night, bumbed into Philip in McD while waiting for the representatives from ING Insurance Bhd to discuss more about our AdventuRUN 2008 sponsorship. Dragoat did all the talking coz I couldn't blady talk. Left Subang at 11.55pm, and reached home at 12am+. Dead tired. Imagine 6.30am-12am in Subang, that is really a FULL day. Also, after a very sleep-deprived week, its feels darn good to sleep for 12hours straight =).

Sorry if this post is too long, boring and pictureless. I just felt like typing. Lolz. And now, pls pray that my ulcer will heal soon. Until the next post, tata!

The question for Trials ESL's extended response essay today was a rather interesting one. "Should parents be permitted to design their babies?" Basically 'designing' their babies means using Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) to select 'the' embryo that has the genes that codes for the all desired characteristics a parent wants before actually implanting 'that' embryo into the uterus of the mother.

An issue that was discussed in the 4 articles given was the use of the PGD technique to create a baby in order the save a son. The situation was something like this:


Of coz there are many other issues brought up in the articles, but my question now is,

The article further discuss how it will affect the psychological growth of the designed-child. Imagine yourself being the designed-child, brought to earth with a pre-existing purpose. Wouldn't that be very hurtful, especially if it is just to save your sibling's life. I don't mean I want my sibling to die, but look at it this way, you were CREATED so that your sibling may live. Its not as if you had the choice to even think about it. Its not your willingness to save, but destiny to. It also goes to show how much more your parents care about the sibling than you.

Another scenario, what if the designed-child failed to carry out its 'purpose'. For example something went wrong and the sibling died. Do you think the designed-child will be able to live a normal life? Or would the parents treat him as a failure? Would he be sad and face eternal guilt coz he could not fulfill his 'purpose'?

This is indeed a very interesting topic in genetics, but there are just too many questions that needs to be discussed, questions that have no definite answer, no right nor wrong. However I personally think it is not right to save a physical life by sacrificing a psychological life.

Actually, I wanted to blog about something more reflective for my 100th post (yes, this is my 100th post), but in my mind now, there are only 2 words, 1 feel..

I've started to take many many photos whereever, whenever and whoever since I got my new hp. After few months and few thousand photos, I must give PingSern all credits for his single shot of the year. This picture is priceless I tell you, not from a photography point of view, but from the G3 point of view. For those not in G3, most likely you wouldn't understand the following picture.

You are standing 50meters away from a microwave tower that transmit microwaves with a uniform frequency of 1800MHz. At 50m away, the photovoltaic cell in your hand cannot produce any current. How far do you have to move toward the tower in order for the photovoltaic cell to produce a current?

PM me on msn if you wanna know the answer. The answer is kinda, erm, tricky. After Mr. John told me the answer, I felt as though I just got conned for 4 marks.

Last Sunday in church youth class, our teacher, Kevin Thomas discussed with us about cohabitation. Basically cohabitation is living under the same roof before marriage. He even wrote a very interesting short story about cohabitation in his blog. I wanted to link that post straight but somehow I can't, so click here and search for a post written on 17th August 2008. Basically the story is about a boy and a girl, just after SPM, and so happened to be their 1 year anniversary together. So with their parents' approval, they went to Redang for holidays, just the 2 of them, and salty salty..

After that, we discussed about components of good character, which consist of moral knowing, moral feeling and moral action. All these were kinda related to the story as we used the story as the examples. The notes were photostated from a No Apologies book. The last page of notes was about Relationships - Love, Lust or Infatuation. Too bad we didn't have time to cover that as well.

Today during lunch, Vivek, PingSern and I came across this topic too. All because we were trying to 'counsel' PingSern and his salted love life. That article of relationships came into my mind, which kinda made me decide to type it out here to share with all of you. I'll leave it plain, so I won't 'accidentally' highlight wrong points. Lolz. But before I start, it's 100% plagiarised copied from No Apologies book, which I don't have the relevant information to do a full Harvard Referencing.

Relationships - Love, Lust or Infatuation?
As we saw in the video No Apologies, many young people confuse love and infatuation. Understanding the difference between these conditions may save teens much pain in relationships. The intimate and powerful nature of sexual intercourse demands commitment, The best context for sexual commitment is marriage. So often premarital sexual relationships are based on physical lust or infatuation, not mature unconditional love.

Definition of Unconditional Love: Devotion based on commitment and unselfish concern for one another. It freely accepts another in loyalty and seeks his or her good. In sexual relationships, a sexual attachment is formed that adds to the commitment.

Definition of Lust: Intense sexual desire or appetite, an overwhelming desire, as in lust for power. A sexual urge or physical impulse

Definition of Infatuation: An unrealistic or extravagant love or admiration appealing to the senses and impulses, sometimes called lust. Infatuation may be the initial attraction that will, with time and commitment, grow into a mature and unconditional love.

The word love is used so loosely in the English language that perhaps the best way to define love is by what it is not. Infatuation is not bad, it is just not good enough to carry a relationship over the rough times. The condition of being "in love" or more accurately, "in infatuation" may be the beginning of a relationship. For romantic or sexual love to last, the general qualities inherent in personal character are needed - patience, respect, consideration, protectiveness, trust and trustworthiness, hope and loyalty.
