Open notes final today... and I forget to bring my notes.

T-minus 3 days...

誰知我內心多苦悶 一切沒法如願...

誰知我內心多苦悶 因我甚覺疲倦...

On a side note...

When a close friend is hurt, the pain is empathized. When a close friend is unhappy, the melancholy spreads. When a close friend is insulted, the burden is shared. Nobody asked me to be in this situation... but when someone messes with my close friend... they're also messing with me. (Not that I'm gonna do anything about it... but hey... I have this electronic forum to COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN... )

Today's sermon was about being "blind" -- physically and spiritually. John Newton, the writer of the Amazing Grace so wonderfully puts it - "was blind, but now, I see." Ironically... he wrote that after he lost vision in both his eyes. The apostle Paul was blinded on the road to Damascus... but it was his spirit that gained true vision. There are those who ask, "What? Are we blind too?" (John 9:40) and never know the answer. There are those who see, but don't realize it (John 20:15). There are those who won't believe till they see (John 20:25). There are also those who CAN see...yet choose not to. And here am I...

Two years ago, I was blessed with LASIK Wavefront surgery, resulting in 20/20 and 20/10 vision. For a brief 5 seconds in the midst of the procedure, I was blind. Since that day, I've been living behind sunglasses. And today of all days... my sunglasses broke.

Lastly... why is it that anytime a Rocky movie (except Rocky V) comes on cable TV...I drop everything and watch those dumb movies? Why are the lines in there so classic and legendary? Why do I still find humor in something I've seen over a ba-jillion times? How is it that I still get motivated to workout everytime I see Rocky go through his training regime?

DUHN!! DUHN DUHN DUHN!!! DUHN DUHN DUUUUUUUHHHHHNNNNN!!!!

or....

DUN DUN DA DUN DUN DUN DONE DA DA DUN...DUN DA DUN DUN DUN DUN DUHN DUUUUUHHHHHNNNN....

Kudos to those who understand that... or should I say... Pity to those who are sorry enough to understand that... whatever

T-minus 4 days...

Drill and repeat...drill and repeat...drill and repeat. That's the name of the game. Don't needa learn anything, simply drill yourself and keep on repeating till you can regurgitate. After regurgitation... all can be forgotten... ahhhhhhhh..

T-minus 5 days...

No motivation whatsoever... but 30 minute holy naps are amazing!!

T-minus 6 days...

Previous finals?? Hook it up!!!!!

T-minus 7 days...

I really have no energy to fight this battle any longer. Just let it be over with already...

慘敗

不出五分鐘就被罰黃牌, 射十二碼. 幸好入了一球, 拾回小小的尊嚴. 最後以 1 比 4 落敗.

雖然是美國司提慎, 而且這二十幾年來, 在祖國加加埋埋都只不過住過半年的日子(有多無小),但每逢中美體育鬥爭, 心裡很自然就會棄美歸中. 在烈日暴晒兩小時, 被美國佬圍繞, 看著祖國越打越遜之下, 我們六人都可以台起頭離開球場. 因為最後得勝的不是美國隊, 更加不是中國隊. 最終得勝的是今次球賽的贊助商. 平均$40一張非, 二萬幾人買非...一定發啦!!

Domino Murder Case

Two deaths in the past two days.

For the past two days... two corpse have been found on my driveway and path to my front door. The bodies were mostly intact, appendages were accounted for but feathers were obviously ruffled. Who is behind these series of murders? We have our prime suspect...but without hard evidence, prosecution will be futile. Initial investigations have caused us to label this murder case as: the Domino Murder Case.

The two victims left behind a major clue for the Crime Scene Invesitgators. A week ago, a vesitge of plumage coincidentally were spilled over the wasteland -- what use to be my front lawn. Experts belive there was a confrontation that took place on this wasteland -- a confrontation between the victim and the suspect. This confrontation may be the key to the double murder and the key to solving this the Domino Murder Case.

Suspcious activity over this wasteland has been noticed for many months now. The suspicion arises from uncovering the culprits responsible for turning this lucious tundra of terrace into now a desert of parasitic foilage. Grubs (EXHIBIT A) - more commonly known as grass worms - were found living underneath the top soil of lawn, sucking away the nutrients from grass, thereby leaving it incapacitated for future growth, and eventually, towards doom. Action has been taken to rid the wasteland of the grubs in hopes of revitalizing the lawn...but actions were not taken with enough expedience as the flying creatures of the heavens (VICTIMS) have located this wasteland.

EXHIBIT A

Every morning, as the owners of the wasteland depart for their daily, habitual occupations, they would notice a flock of these flying creatures picnicing around these wastelands. What's junk to one is a treasure to another. What seems like a wasteland to some, is actually a buffet for another. Experts hypothesize that these flying creatures from the heavens descend upon the wasteland on a daily periodic basis to consume on the grubs.

For the two years the owners have resided here, they have noticed a familiar existence of neighborhood stray felines (SUSPECT). These felines act surreptitiously but occasionly leave paw prints on the cars of the owners.

Taking from the previous case of SYLVESTER THE CAT v. TWEETY BIRD seen in (EXHIBIT B), we can only take into major consideration that these seemingly friendly neighborhood felines have longingly observed and properly prepared for their own round of feasting.

EXHIBIT B

This Domino Effect, and hence the name of this case, comes from the due fact that it was the grubs who ate the lawn. The birds eat the grubs. And now, well...the kitty-kat probably wanted to eat the birds. Will we ever uncover enough evidence to put the murderer behind bars? That still remains a mystery....
