Missed Easter Sunday

Unfortunately for me.. this year's Easter Sunday falls on the same date as the Chinese Qing Ming Jie. Given that my parents just took a step back on the issue of religion, I decided to spend the day with them visiting and paying respect to my ancestors. So had to give the easter service a miss, although I know it will be a fantastic service to commemorate all that Jesus had done for us. And I believe that remembering your ancestors is important too, one of the precious Chinese virtues to be kept. But I would definitely want to do it in a more environmental friendly way. Incense burning should be replaced by flowers while the bai bai should be replaced with prayers.

Just watched Artificial Intelligence. My 3rd time watching it i think? And still it is a great show with a sad ending.

I could never imagine myself being a robot or just someone who will never die. Being totally alone is the worst feeling man!

And if you could resurrect one person from the past, however he or she will only live for a day. Who will you choose? and most importantly, what will you do with the precious 24 hours?

If you ask me. I really don't know. Being able to resurrect only one, I will miss the others. And to be with my loved ones, I think a lifetime may not even be enough, not to mention the mere 24 hours.

Maybe like all times, only when the situation arises, then the choice will be made.

Imperial here I come!

Woohoo!! Finally got the acceptance notification from Imperial's Chem Eng! haha I was so nervous when reading the mail.

In the first sentence, it reads:

"Dear Peng Yu, I enjoyed meeting you at the interview recently in Singapore ."

I held my breath before scrolling down because the first sentence sounds like a bad omen. Like those rejection letters which will first thank u for coming down first then tell you about the bad news.

Luckily the second sentence reads:

"... I am sure that you would do well in our course here at Imperial, therefore we will be we will be instructing UCAS to give you an unconditional offer."

Haha finally after all the hurdles in application, I can safely claim that I am really going for UK this time! Thank God!

Another good news to announce! My parents finally accept my faith in Christ!

Over the dinner, Mum asked whether I am going for service behind her back. I was so scared la! Really don't want to quarrel over dinner but suddenly a sentence from the bible strikes me... "Honor your parents". I didn't want to lie either so I told her the truth.

I am really blessed. For the first time, she didn't scold me. She said, "Oh, next time just let me know." YEAH!!! All my prayers for the past months have finally been answered! Thank God for this miracle! I really thought it would almost be impossible for her to come into terms with my new found faith.

Now I can attend service and cell without guilt. Thanks Mum! Now the next step, introduce my parents to our Almighty. It maybe a more steep task but nothing is impossible with God's grace.

Old.

Yeah feeling that I am getting old way too fast for my age. Despite resting from the club scene for 2 weeks plus, still couldn't get into the mood on friday. Crowd is getting too "crowded", hardly any space to move and dance. And most of all I hate the smoke! Can't wait for 1st of July to come, the full implementation of smoke free area.

But the company at zouk was great! It was like a real life "friendster", consisting of 4 groups of friends linked together by Angeline. Haha the introduction was most hilarious, with everyone introducing themselves saying that he or she is a friend of the person on his or her left.

Watched two soccer matches last night, adding to a grand total of 10 goals! And I must say Peter Crouch is improving!! Haha Hat Trick.

Now I am just looking forward to the next cadet course coming in. 8 of them.. but who will survive.
