What I want

swing


I really want this DVD..... and seriously , really is rare to see glenn want something this much.... hope it comes out in Singapore.

And no Luzanne, this is not a bondage, it really is a good show, and no , i don;t like it cos of the cute japanese girls, but i do have to admit, they do add to the charm.

On a more serious note, the next post is going to be a serious one, on a more sombre not, but for now, going to buy Big Band Music. And hopefully, learn to play the trumpet soon.

Howdy! 

Another Day....

Glenn hasn't been studying as much as glenn would like and as consistantly as glenn would like, but well, since when has glenn been able to achieve such high standards of performance?

Was supposed to study today, but well, glenn promised melvyn that he would help him with some fabrication and all that so well, the whole day was spent in the Workshop sawing, drilling, filing ( not not papers but with a handfile!!!).

Oh, also did alot of tactical hiding from lab techs. Side note, quite difficult to take cover with my size and well, the lack of trees...

The reason is because glenn, being in the forefront of fashion, decided to wear slippers to school, when it is an expressed rule (understantment of the year) in NUS that all students working in the labs or workshops should wear shoes for safety reasons.
So you can imagine that glenn and mel really put their tactical skills learnt from 2 years of National Slavery, er i mean service to good use.
All we needed was camo cream, but alas, we did what we had to do.

But after digressing, i'm going to talk about econnoics today.

This came out from a conversation with a friend, and has both economic and sociological views.

Exam Fear and Module Revision Relation.

Fig 1: Graph used to highlight the credibility of this theory... rightttttt

From many years of experience, glenn has derived a theory on the effects of a examination deadline on Study Inertia.

Wanted to share alot abt it, but in the end, well, lets just say that only when glenn realises that he has absolutley no idea on what was taught in the whole sem ( most prob due to his SUPERB attendence for lessons), IRRATIONAL FEAR INCREASES while TIME TO STUDY DIMISHES GREATLY (and that is an understatement, DUH!!!)

However, due to the IMMENSE STUDY INERTIA (read: retarded ability to learn from past mistakes) the elasticity of glenn's IRRATIONAL FEAR CURVE is Infintely ELASTIC. Therefore, glenn does stupid things like NOT STUDY 2 days before his exam without having studies for the module at all and BLOGGING THIS ENTRY.

Meanwhile, in the REAL WORLD, time ticks away........( some whom may not have taken economics may not understand the finer points of what has been written, but well, do just go with the flow)

*Final Countdown playing in the background*

PS: Song of the moment:

"Lord we (I) need Your grace and mercy, we (I) need to pray like never before...."
-----From the song "Spirit Touch Your Church"

The Student's Psalm

Exams are coming up, and yes, all of us, even those who don't study are very stressed. Here's something to ease the tension and raise the faith. King James Version no less.

---- All the best, Glenn

The Student's Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not flunk;

He keepth me from lying down when i should be studying.

He leadeth me beside the water cooler for a study break;

He restoreth my faith in study guides.

He leads me to better study habits for my grade's sake.

Yea, though i walk through the valley of borderline grades,

I will not have a nervous breakdown; for Thou art with me.

My prayers and my friends, they comfort me.

Thou givest me answers in moments of blankness;

Thou anointest my head with understanding.

My exam paper runneth over with questions i recognize.

Surely passing grades and flying colors shall follow me

All the days of my examinations,

And i shall not have to dwell in this university/school forever,

Amen!

Psalm 4:4

Psalm 4:4

Don't sin by letting anger gain control over you.
Think about it overnight and remain silent.
================

Something happened tonight which honestly makes me very angry. Very isn't even the word to describe it.

My sis didn't come home by 12am.


------------------------------------------

0000hrs
Called her. She didn't answer.

0100hrs
Kept calling and msging her. Still no answer.

0105hrs
Dad drove the car all around tampines to find her.

0125hrs
Glenn joins in the search on bike. Meanwhile mom still calling at home.
By now we know that she supposedly left around 2330hrs, crying.
A fight between her and her boyfriend is suspected.
Boyfriend stops answering calls.

0130hrs
Police contacted. Search patrols have been activated to keep a lookout.

0200hrs
Dad still driving. Glenn still cycling. All coffeeshops and parks have been
searched.
Guards at boyfriend's guardhouse qureied. No information.

0300hrs
Getting worried. No news from sister. No word from boyfriend.
Thoughts of rape or murder start to fill glenn's mind. Prayer increases.
Dad still driving.
Glenn still cycling.
Mom still calling
All worried.

0302hrs
Latest news. Elder Sister able to contact younger sister.
She is at boyfriend's house.

No words uttered throughout the trip.
Sister msging on phone the whole time.
Police informed.

0330hrs
Back home

========*end of case*=============

I was and i still am angry!!!!
And honestly, i don't know what to say.
Alot of the thoughts, worries, fears, and emotions were not highlighted in the above narrative, but trust me, its a horrible feeling, worring about a loved one. Words cannot adequately describe how one feels looking out for a sister in the dark or wondering all the time if he would find a lifeless body. Or a sister with tattered and torn clothes. No words can adequately describe the emotions, but yet my family was put through that by one selfish act.
I actually want to give her and the boyfriend especially a piece of my mind. Yes!!!

I want to give the 2 of them a tight slap in the face and a good tongue lashing. I'm angry!!!!

What were they thinking???? Were they even thinking?????

ok, enough letting out of steam. Enough...........

Father, before anything, You gave me Psalms 4:4 because You know me, You know my weakness. I'm angry with jasmine. Not just because of this, but also how she acts and how she sucks my mom dry whenever she can. Father, i know that i'm no better. I choose to forgive her.

But Lord, please, change my sister to become a woman of virtue, not a vain , boyfriend obsessed little girl. Grow her Lord, please, more and more into the likeness of Jesus, and less of the person i see now whom i love but yet loathe.

Please Lord, change me and her, as i choose to forgive.

I need Your help.
Let me sleep tonight with a light heart, knowing that You are in control of my emotions and of the situation.

In Jesus name, amen.

Of Grades And Grace

More Grades Updates...

Well, the impossible happened again.

Glenn aced his ES2007 (Professional Communication) Module. *people groaning in disgust*

Oral Presentation: 26/30
Proposal: 23/30 (seems that the proposal is quite up to standard to the point that my Lecturer wants to keep it, Wow!!! Even I'm impressed...)

Honestly, erm.... Glenn is confused.... Glenn is DEFINATELY Grateful.... But more confused then anything, yep, go figure....

This kinda thing just keeps happening, and well, i'm not complaining... seriously not, but i am feeling bad about it and well, kinda, no very confused.
===========================================

I'm blessed by God, especially thru my members whom has extended alot of grace towards me and really kept the project going. THANK YOU!!!

First up, going to thank my group members who without them, would not have achieved these results.

JinLee: definately the gelling factor in the group, responsible and all the good things i'm not, without her, i don't think we would have gotten such grades, seriously.

Lok Yan: A joy to talk too, a pity i don't have much time to interact with her, but end of the day, it was great working with her.

Han Keat: The guy who suprised us all. He really pulled through for us in terms of uping the ante with regard to his presentation. He really improved from the last time. Whew!!! Way to go man, I take my hat off to you. Kudos man.

Well, thats more good news from NUS Mechanical Engineering.... Thank God. I can't complain, but sigh, guess this is what we called grace isn't it?

Unmerited favour.... Lord, if only i could be more faithful to You, to turn from my sinful ways.... But seriously, in a way i don't want to,so i pray that You change me, make me want to.

Side note, Suffering from lack of motivation ( read: severe laziness! ) Help!!!

*****And the battle goes on***********

Comments!!!

Wow!!!
I was surprised that there was comments given to me on my blog, and really, it really is interesting to know what people think about what i think and what i write.

Guys and gals, do post your comments, but be gentle please... But seriously do leave comments, makes this whole blogging experience more warm and fun.

====================================================================

The Most Hilarious Comment

"Constipation in the brain and diarrhea in the mouth"
Annon girl

------------------------------------

I was out with Daniel, Iz and Janice the other night after church, just to eat some prata and talk.

The discussion was the usual, church, ministry and more church and more ministry, even more church and even more ministry, think you guys get the picture.

Yes folks, glenn and daniel ( aka Central Wonder) at least, when put together can actually start a talk show or a panel discussion about Church and Ministry.
Somehow, this also happens when glenn is with chris ( aka Eastern Heretic)
Could it just be me or my friends? I'm sense a pattern here

Coincidence?
I think not....

This warrants further analysis and research, and hopefully it'll end up into a 25 page report, single spacing, times new roman font 12, turabian style. Even so, another story for another time.

Back to the story

Well, it really isn't a story at all, but when we were heading back to the Central Wonder's ( aka daniel's ) place, Iz shared with me a comment made about him a long time ago, ( trust me, Iz isn;t like the comment, well, not now at least)

Iz: You know last time, i was just shooting my mouth off with comments about this girl.

G-man: Uh huh

Iz: And as i went on and on, the girl kinda got frustrated at the comments

G-man: Uh huh

Iz: And she said this about me

G-man: Uh huh

Iz: She said," Isaac has constipation in the brain and diarrhea in the mouth"

G-man: HAHAHAHAHHAHA ( as in uncontrollable rolling on the floor kinda laughter. It wasn;t Iz which made me laugh, but the comment.)

Iz: ............

G-man: HAHAHAHHAHAHA

Iz:...........
Janice:.........
Daniel:............

G-man: HAHAHAHAHAH or rather in another form: ROFLOL

Yep, you could say that glenn lost it that night, heh heh, thinking about it just makes glenn chuckle... heh heh heh.
============================================================

In all seriousness, despite all the silliness of the whole event, it did make me think abit.

Constipation in the brain.... hmmmn, come to think of it, we do have it once and a while, glenn definately has that pretty often, usually during his exams or when he is with luzanne, assuming they are not arguing, cos if glenn and luzanne are arguing, glenn puts on his mantle of intelligence along with his crown of mental fortitude ( can purchase on e-bay : http://www.e-bay.com ) so as to win the arguement at hand and squash any objection from the rebels. Muahahahaha

But constipation in the head ain't that bad.

Diarrhea in the mouth, that on the other hand, well, kinda bad i guess, and yes, glenn suffers from that chronically too. And it gets especially bad when:

1. Glenn is tired
2. Glenn is exhusted
3. Glenn is near a coma

Ironic isn;t it.

Main thing is this, things get worse when you combine C, Constipation, and D, Diarrhea together,

You are going to be in deep deep trouble, and i think i have my fair share of these experiences when my brain constipates and my mouth goes into diarrhea mode.

In mathematics:

C + D= Bad Situation = Deep shit

If C increases and D increases, implies Disasterious Situation, and we get Deeper Shit

If we differentiate C and D partially with respect to time, we see that C and D increases exponentially with time.

dC/dt + dD/dt = 2005exp(t)

In english:

This means that you are in a whole lot of trouble very very often, practically, you won;t really be popular.

But enough crudeness and mathematics.

What does God's word say?

Proverbs 20:15

Gold there is, and rubies in abundance, but lips that speak knowledge are a rare jewel.

===================================================================
I think i will work on my brain mouth co-ordination

G-man.... out!!! ( Ryan Seacrest imitation)

Managerial Economics

Well, as usual, glenn has not been updating his blog much, but well, i'm gonna make up abit.

If anything, there is good news, Got an A for my Managerial Econs test which is 20% of my grade.

Abit of background on this before i go on.

1. I do not attend any lectures ( whats new ?)
2. But i do attend the tutorials *halleliuah chours*
3. I studied the night before
4. Being the genius i am, i purposely left my calculator at home ( yeah, as if )
5. Went into the exam hall and shaking my head continouusly for a whole 2 hours ( serious!!! )
6. The phrase ringing in my head was : Siao Liao, Siao Liao, Siao Liao *head shaking*
7. Daniel ( who is taking a pass fail option in this module) was the first guy to leave the hall.
8. My tutorial group mate took first honours at being the last in the whole standard. RESPECT *thump Chest*
9. When i left the exam hall, i met daniel and asked him how was the paper ( side note: Dan is a 'S' paper econs student from hwa chong) He said the paper was a killer. I agree.
10. A very fond memory glenn has of economics was the time when he was in Temasek JC and he wrote a 4 page essay on elasticity concepts. The Result? A Staggering 2/20!!! *applause* *wolf whistles*

So well, there you have it. As you can expect, glenn goes in the tutorial thinking: Siao liao!!!

Side Note: Yes, siao liao is has now become glenn's new way of saying " I'm so dead " but with a true blue Singapura flavour, kinda like katong laksa, but i digress.... hmmmm.... lasksa.... yum...

So well, when i saw my grades, i couldn;t believe my eyes...

*Hallelieuah Chrous*
*Looks at ceiling*
*Punches both fists in the Air*

I was amazed!!! *Hallelieuah Chrous still in background* and mind you, i still am amazed.
================================================================

At the end of it, i know that i don't deserve it, as with most of not all my grades. But well, it really is a great feeling to have your Father pull you thru a hard patch in style.

Do you best and have faith in God. My grades.... all the Lord's glory, i'm very sure of that. I didn;t do it, He did.

You know, my lecturer wrote a comment "Very Good" on my script.
I would say that he didn't a fair comment, that comment if you ask me, should be.

Amazing grace... and all God's ppl say...
Amen
