It is finished...

...on the last day of 2005. No more research and thesis-writing for the forseeable future.

Happy New Year!

Interesting link about the origins of Boxing Day. If I'm not wrong, Singapore is in the Commonwealth. So why aren't we given a day off for this?!

Whatever it is, happy holiday!

Merry Christmas

Have a blessed Christmas!

"Go, and sin no more..."

Photo from King's College's website

He came down to earth from heaven,
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor, the scorned, the lowly,
lived on earth our Savior holy

"Once in royal David's city"
Hymns for little children, 1848
Words: Cecil F. Alexander
Music: Henry J. Gauntlett

No where in the Bible does it mention the birth date of Jesus but that doesn't diminish the significance of His birth in a what was probably a crowded, smelly and dirty stable in Bethlehem. Ironically it is much easier to trace the date that He was crucified from scriptures. Maybe there's something to be said about differing priorities between God and man.

Anyway, beyond the fake snow and over-priced gifts, I wish everyone a safe weekend and for God Himself to shine His light upon each of us.

Let's hope that out of the grime of human existence, dignity will prevail.

zonked...

Past three o'clock
on a cold frosty morning...

Darn hymn keeps ringing in my head.

As it's turning out, just past 7 o'clock on a windy, rainy Christmas Eve morning here.

I'm experiencing a mental white-out.

5 hours of sleep over the last 48-hour period.

Brings back memories of prowling the hospital wards.

It's that darn thesis.

A "minor" revision turned into a massive 26-page addition.

Crash time...
