Adversities are like plain water on the tongue. They wash away the sweetness left behind by previous indulges only to allow the tongue to appreciate and fully enjoy the next sweet moment.
To a drunk, life is topsy turvy. To a mystic, life is philosophical. To a mathematician, life is a sequent. To a optimist, life is great.
For the physical pain my body endured during Chemotherapy, the turmoil when I had to stay in hospital and skip school, the dent on my ego when I detoured to poly, the cut on my vanity when I started to bald, and the emotional scaring from family misunderstandings; all has made me a stronger, better, more efficient human being.
Whether life is a journey, a reflection of the paradox of time, a celebration of love, a moment of bliss or a stay at the hospital. I am thankful for the blessings showered upon me, the strength bestowed upon me, and the love surrounding me.

A long gruelling day
It has been a gruelling 7 months hiatus from FREEDOM. Clocking-in and out, returning to school during semester break, going to factories, meeting vendors, frequent trips to SIM LIM, bruises and cuts on my arm, all in the name of Major-Project. And yet it is far from over.
12 more days and school will re-open, it will be the start of my 2nd semester. 3.2 will be my last semester in Temasek Poly, and its the most crucial semester, with new electives and most importantly Major-project judging. More stress....
Today was a long, painful day. Went all the way to Shaw Rd to give the factory my panel design only to be told that the format was not supported. They needed it to be in Freehand or AutoCad, both of which I am completely unfamiliar with. Went back home, searched and downloaded a trial version of AutoCad2010 and started playing around with it(its been 7hours already). The program is a lot different then what I usually use. This program has a dialogue box, that makes it seem like the software chats with you. To top it of, it has a array of perplexing icons and options on the menu bar.
The plan is to master the little skills I need today and draw the panel design before the sun rises tomorrow. So that I can fine tune the dimensions and send it to the factory by Friday.
God bless me! Amen!
PS: Muru starts serving the nation today, and Subra left for India.
