We are all morphing into each other. GBC FAMILY LOVE.

Yesterday, we had an 8-hour long project meeting. Which brought us from Starbucks to Brekos to A Random Bench in NUS because we needed to feel motivated FROM THE SHEER PHYSICAL SPACE OF CAMPUS – and then eventually, Bkt Timah Market for dinner. It was ridonk because we were STUCK and couldn’t come up with our framework.

Today, we had an 8-hour long project meeting @ Debbie’s place, WHICH I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO TILL TODAY. Binged our way through spaghetti, AWSM BAKED POTATO THINGY, extralarge strawberry pocky, macaroons, and 2-in-1 coffee. We finally achieved an ACADEMIC breakthrough. Then Debbie & I went to buy Cupwalker and we had a CARRIDE in the pouring rain (WHEE~) back to my homesweethome @ Bukit Timah.

In conclusion, we realised that we took so long because we had set the bar very high for ourselves and so we needed to at least meet or surpass our own previous work/expectations the Prof has of us and we have of ourselves. WE SHD JUST NOT CARE – THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH EASIER SRSLY.

But what to do, we are such good students. We look forward to next week. SIGH.

Love,

Debs, Debbie & Marcus

Happy (belated) birthday to my DEBORAHCOUNTERPART, without whom this semester would have been a living hell. AT LEAST WE HAVE EACH OTHER. *CRIES* <3 you Debbie! xo

I would also like to add in that meeting friends after a stressful period of school&madness is such a wonderful thing. SUCH A WONDERFUL THING.

FAKE MOTORCYCLE COUPLE. (Pete’s head is way too small for a bike helmet ahahaha)

REAL MOTORCYCLE COUPLE. Happy belated birthday DEBBIE! :)

This is how it went down.

Nat & I: *SERIOUS CONVERSATION* at playground below my block

- Oldest brother appears, on his way to his car -

Me: EH! Where are you going?

Dakor: Watch midnight movie *opens car door*

Me: Orh.

Dakor: You wana come?

Me: *looks at Nat* You want?

Nat: (one second hestitation) *shrugs* Okay.

VROOM VROOM.

YES, WE ARE COOL AND SPONTANEOUS LIKE THAT.

& TO TOP THAT OFF, MY BROTHER WAS AWESOME & WE SAT IN GV GOLD CLASS LUXURY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE (THEY HAD BLANKETS. AND RECLINING CHAIRS. Pardon my suaku-ness). Its almost 4am and I’m super tired considering the fact I was planning to go home at 10pm to sleep. BUT MIDNIGHT SPONTANEITY FTW. Such a great reward after a week of essay writing hell.

Also, tonight will be considered epic because its the first time that any AC person has interacted with my mysterious oldest brother who has been an enigma to all my friends. YAY!

:)

(FIRST OF ALL, SPOT UNCLE KIM MENG.)

Then I said to my dad :

YOU USED TO BE SO SKINNY!!!! WHY YOU NEVER PASS DOWN THE SKINNY GENES!!

THEN I LAUGHED.

HAHAHAHA GET IT?  Okay if you are not laughing by now then you can move on.

But by faith we know His existence; in glory we shall know His nature. Now, I have already shown that we may well know the existence of a thing, without knowing its nature.

…

Who then will blame Christians for not being able to give a reason for their belief, since they profess a religion for which they cannot give a reason? They declare, in expounding it to the world, that it is a foolishness, stultitiam; and then you complain that they do not prove it! If they proved it, they would not keep their word; it is in lacking proofs, that they are not lacking in sense. “Yes, but although this excuses those who offer it as such, and takes away from them the blame of putting it forward without reason, it does not excuse those who receive it.” Let us then examine this point, and say, “God is, or He is not.” But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separated us.

…

But there is here an infinity of an infinitely happy life to gain, a chance of gain against a finite number of chances of loss, and what you stake is finite.

…

Now, what harm will befall you in taking this side? You will be faithful, honest, humble, grateful, generous, a sincere friend, truthful. Certainly you will not have those poisonous pleasures, glory and luxury; but will you not have others? I will tell you that you will thereby gain in this life, and that, at each step you take on this road, you will see so great certainty of gain, so much nothingness in what you risk, that you will at last recognise that you have wagered for something certain and infinite, for which you have given nothing.

If this discourse pleases you and seems impressive, know that it is made by a man who has knelt, both before and after it, in prayer to that Being, infinite and without parts, before whom he lays all he has, for you also to lay before Him all you have for your own good and for His glory, that so strength may be given to lowliness.”
