Today, Marcus was feeling weak and frail throughout the day

Start my day with an evocative conversation with a friend of mine. We were discussing on the topic of child defects such as Down syndrome, Intelligence Quotient range of 50 to 70. Did you know that 1 in 10 children have birth defects! Boy was i glad to know that i didn't fall into the 10% of children with special needs.

I was actually refering to my neighbour. He's born with child defect. It's my pleasure knowing him and i believe he's 19 this year as well! Sometimes, i just wondered what's going on in his mind and his world, but i figured out that i'll never have the answer at least for now.

Although on the outside, sometimes, we tend to "pity" such people but in fact if you look on another view, they are practically stress-free and are living a life of their own.

Now, looking back at my own life, i was beginning to be thankful that i was born a healthy baby, though not perfect but without major defects! Praise the Lord. I wish want to share this experience that sometimes, when we look into the mirror, we think that we are just not good enough. Not handsome or pretty enough, or my hair is getting out of shape, or even exclaiming over the fact that you've got the slightest dark round around your eyes. We all do that without realising what a miracle it's been that we're born healthy and we ought to be thankful with what we have instead of complain of what we don't have.

Here a word of wisdom: Jealousy in its essence is nothing but a reminder about something you don't have.

I have to complete my blog for the day... Back to my day, I was on time for my first lesson of the day, enviromental studies practical! What a way to start your day! I guess the experiment could be consider a successful one without major problems encounter perhaps i would just mention the heater which took a while to start our sample boiling and the interesting AAS machine and poor Dr. Cheng didn't realise that the flame wasn't on till we're about to give up testing the sample for lead and copper.

Hmm... practical ended around 1015am then i went to food court 1 for a light breakfast and bumped into kaiming and zhen hui!!! Sure do i miss the days where we would go and play lan together and enjoy ourselves!

Mr. kwok lesson was up next and i have to admit i was close to falling asleep twice but had to pull myself together furthermore, kaiming and the girls were "insane" to be sitting right in the front row!!

After that, i had a lunch appointment with Chan, a buddy of mine! he's working in SP, inside the technical support room. We went to SP staff centre for lunch and i wasn't feeling comfortable. Guess it was the stomach cramps AGAIN.

I was a little late for my corrosion science lecture and got my first quiz date on the white board! Corrosion Science Quiz One 18 Jan 05... the lecture went on fine and i guess i could gasp what Mr. Ho was talking about.

Finally to end my day in campus, i have a two hours lecture with Mrs Leong. Slept during trace & transition elements & complexes lecture. I meant total shut down for perhaps 45 mins! I didn't recall anything she taught or said. Hmm... I need to replan my sleeping routine in order to be more alert in school!

Came straight home after lecture and fell to my bed and didn't wake up this a couple of hours before 12. Skipped my dinner as i am still bloated from today's feast. To think of the feast i'm going to have this week, i think i better start jogging to shed of the excess calories before i gain too much weight!

I guess that's most of what i wish to share for today! Love you all
