Week 9/10

Not sure what's going on in my university these days. I could point to the fact that I'm seldom present in university anyway. My timetable reads by appointment only. I could probably count the number of times I've returned to that place using my two hands.

How's the FYP? At this late stage, I've to say it's probably 99% done or else I would be in big trouble. Always had that worry if I've done enough for it given that I only have this module for the whole semester. Not much I can do at this point. It has to be enough. I'm hoping for the best result, but if I do not get it it's all right.

The trip to Korea is looming and I must reiterate my happiness and joy. Can't wait to experience the life in Korea and escape the mood swinging weather here in Singapore. Well, it may be the same over there in Korea but at least the humidity will not be so bad. The sights and sounds of Korea beckon!

Liverpool is looking to take a few step backwards with a lacklustre performance at Sunderland. They fully deserved to lose the match with not a single bright spark throughout. This is the perfect time to bemoan the fact that KD started off with no natural wingers and this has been the story the whole season. With the exception of Downing, there are no natural wingers in the Liverpool side. Most of the top teams like Man Utd, Man City and Arsenal all have natural wingers who can provide killer crosses. It is a glaring hole in the Liverpool team and to compound the problem, there is no natural finisher up front. Caroll and Suarez are no natural finishers and this has translated to the lack of goals up front. The persistence of KD to play Henderson has not paid off with him looking lost in most matches. Maxi would have been a better choice and his link-up play with Suarez had paid dividends before. Overlooking Maxi could become a mistake that KD may come to regret.

These days

What are we doing these days? Nothing much to be precise. Waiting in front of my lappy for important e-mails from my professor. Exploring Facebook and discovering new applications. While not exactly old-fashioned, I do sometimes find myself lost in this cyberworld we live in. New updates to old applications never fail to amaze, astound and probably confound me. Catching up on my favourite animes and finding new ones to follow. The storyline, sometimes touching, sometimes philosophical, there's an anime for everyone. Planning a graduation trip with Sam. Korea is the destination and it will be my first time there. It's going to be smashing and hopefully unforgettable trip for all the right reasons. Well, there's a FYP presentation to overcome but let's not look too closely at the details. Brushing up on my limited knowledge of Korean by using the free lessons from TTMIK. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and the creators of such a wonderful website. I do feel my Korean improving as I listen to the lessons. I find myself blessed that I had a wonderful tutor, Dr Yoon, for my NTU Korean module for which I have enjoyed my self greatly. Teachers who can teach are as precious as gold and I too aspire to be one. ^ ^
