Well technically I can't actually resign simply because I only formally take office on the 1st of Dec 2004.

If you're anything like me, that happens a fair lot. But after a while you learn that as long as you try your best, and sometimes even when you don't, it's all going to be alright. Nobody's perfect and you can't please everybody. And funny thing is, there is more to this world than me.

Just had an unbelievable weekend in Melbourne. Got to meet up with my oldest friend in the world who I've known since I was seven. Went to his church which also happens to be the new Melbourne Christian City Church set up by Planetshakers just this year, where God was being His usual awesome, incredible, liberating self!

It seems that whenever I spend a particularly long time on an entry that I feel very strongly about, something mucks up and it doesn't get published.
And yet when I just want to insert an entry about mucking up entries, it works.

I haven't really spoken or seen anyone yet but I did get reacquainted with my bed and we had a really deep conversation for close to 12 hours. I did some minimal unpacking before that, but the real work only began after I woke up. I'm still in the midst arranging my things and fixing up my stuff but I reckon I should take a short break before continuing and hopefully finishing.

Dear Michael,
I'm Samuel Lim (u2576270) and I took your course, 'Diplomacy and International Conflict', this semester. I am wondering whether there is a mistake about the grade that I recieved. According to ISIS, I attained a pass mark of 53%.

It wasn't a nightmare, or like other dreams of death that made me cry.
It was beautiful.
I saw her and yet I knew (in the way that people know things in dreams)that she was dead. She was standing tall, straight, unaided. My grandmother has had many operations on both legs.

Considering that it is the exam period, I’d have expected to see a lot more students mugging away at books and notes. I guess most people prefer studying at home. Or maybe most people just don’t study at all.
Personally, I like studying in the library, especially when there aren’t too many people about. Not that I do it very often.

He's taking the semester or even maybe the year off and I probably won't be seeing him for quite some time. I feel so bad.

When Henman won the first set and was leanding the second set 4/2 against Coria, I was freaking out.

I've been coughing up copious amount of phlegm in the last couple days. Not a pretty sight. Especially when I first wake, it's as though I can't breathe. It's hard to get air down my lungs because of the phlegm, and when I do manage to, it hurts quite a bit because of my rather sore throat.

So there was a man walking past my house one day. He was holding a paper bag, cradling it to his chest. I couldn't see all that was inside, but a loaf of bread was just peeking out from the top.
Groceries, I thought.
He was wearing a brown coat. It partially covered his worn jeans that were a little long for him (or maybe they were just right and I'm just unfashionable).

Made me remember how much I actually enjoy performing on stage. There's this unbelievable feeling that you get when you can actually make people laugh, when you can 'work' the crowd. I'd like to think that I'm good, and to some extent, I can. But I have no delusions about where I stand in the great food chain of comedic talent.

One of the main reasons why I've been so busy this past few weeks is that I've been organising ISSANU Dinner 2004. While, I'm glad to say that its finally over, I'm even gladder to say that it went pretty well.

Just came back from Sydney, where I had lobsters, prawns, calamari, sashimi, oysters, chips, all washed down with bubble tea. And when me and my friends arrived back here at about nine, we decided to troop off to our favourite Chinese restuarant, 'Happy's' for dinner, which has thus far lived up to its name. What a day it has been!
And what a week.

The sun is out and the sky is amazingly blue and clear. It's warm but not too hot. There's the occasional breeze, albeit from my fan, but the bottomline is that today is a GREAT day!

I must have developed mutant powers.

I've been really busy last week and not just busy, but actually feeling it. But somehow, God has managed to free up some time for me today and really this week to get back to doing some work and to just breathe! I had so many classes today, but I didn't actually do any work apart from that. And it was alright!

Okay, that's a lie. The birthday party finished hours ago. I've since bathed, changed and watched 6 episodes of Getbackers (a superduper anime!). It's now 4:13 am in the morning, and hopefully I'll type faster than the last blog.

This feeling will probably not last but as long as it still does...
It's extremely late right now. About 3:20 am in the morning. I'm not intending to sleep tonight cause I know I'll miss my morning tutorial at 9 if I do.

That girl is craaazy the way she updates.
But anyway.
How's life, you ask? Life has been really strange. Have been tackling certain issues with friends, self and self. Not in an agnsty way.
Okay, maybe a little agnsty. But mostly just reflective and thinking through stuff.

ISSANU really is a lot of work. We've been having tons of meetings, discussing our aims, the events we want to do, and actually doing it. So far we've been involved in Int'l Orientation, Market Day and Food Fest. This basically means lots of shopping for napkins, cups, markers, paper, etc, sticking them together to create fans, banners, food, waking up early to Samuelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05981648916386051394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525987.post-1076645594411063532004-02-13T12:13:00.000+08:002004-02-13T12:15:04.043+08:00Ripped this off Paul's blog.

I guess the same thing goes for most people who study overseas, at least in the first few terms. Anyway the evil people doing administration in my hall is unable to give me room connection until next week.

Not that I want to, or that I'm looking forward to it. It's just a sense of ambivalence has come over me and I'm not too sure why.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I already had one good bye session after a fantastic time during CNY in Malaysia with my Samuelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05981648916386051394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525987.post-107358630486506212004-01-09T02:25:00.000+08:002004-01-09T02:26:19.013+08:00I really got it from my Dad.

Anyway, at least I've got a good clean conscience, which is more than I can normally say for myself. And also, the Quiet Time for today was also extremely timely. The scripture reading was taken out of Psalm 20:
