Had LTB final presentation and it so happen to be my final presentation for this term too. Now that LTB is officially over, there is a sense of relief but more than that, its a sense of sadness...for a moment, i felt quite lost and this feeling is gonna come back, i am sure. Imagine there is now suddenly no more friday meetings at GSR2 / GSR40, no more comin back on weekends and hogging the SR from 10am to 10pm, no more KFC in classroom, no more poser shots, no more "conflict-oriented" bickerings.
In the midst of LTB, we spent so much time together plannin and executing our mini project and we had so much fun...now that it is suddenly over, sadness jus overwhelms me. Such a feelin has never occured to me in SMU and i tink, even though LTB may be called a wayang-in module and often labelled a learn-nothin module, the friendships forged will certainly go a long way. Wouldn't it be nice if we could meet a few years down the road and look back on the joys and pains of LTB. Puttin Learning Journals aside, LTB was indeed an enjoyable journey and one more thing, I love TEAM RIPPLE EFFECT!!!
You guys made meetings something i am look forward to and late nites in school something happenin!!! heh Remember our Ripples outing after exams with Ocean's 9 yeah? haha our ally...And by the way, we need to resume meetin after exams to settle our "surprise" ya...shall we go 85 after that? i am craving for the stingray there as i am typing this... =)
Was thinkin i might as well type a short message for all u ripples while feeling and thoughts are still fresh in my mind...Shall start with the gers followed by the guys...it is all in random order so dun feel bad if u are the last to be mentioned...this is totally unscripted and undrafted =)
Shermaine
Well, thanks ger fer lettin prof ma and the WHOLE class know that i am a miserable DM. Aniwae, i am still gonna love u, no worrries...hee u have been a great motivator to the team, always pushin us when we slacken...and honestly, i am guilty of slackin oso. Thanks fer alwayin tryin to decipher Elgin's hidden meanings and prof's likings...if not our CSP portfolio wouldn't be as reflective of our "learning" process. Thanks ger, but seriously, u shld try to relax too...chill, we are ZAI rem?
Yiling
The always nice and sensitive ger in the group, and i feel so comfortable with you around. Also my partner in posing fer those poser shots, esp the ones we took at hwa chong...the meteor garden style pic, the lesbian pic and the act cute pics...its great havin u ard if not i will have no one to take those narcissist pictures with...hee I reallie appreciate all that you have done fer the team, when u silently sit at one corner cutting paper and arranging portfolio...thanks a million ger!! The portfolio wouldn't be complete without U!
Krupa
Frankly speakin, i am reallie shocked and stunned by ur sudden crankiness nearing the end of LTB durin our late nites. I seriously never tot u were capable of that and whao, u beat me at being crazy, i admit defeat...hee Besides, it's reallie interesting and intriguing to hear stories about the indian cultures...So much for a multi-racial country and i grew up knowing nothing of all the things u told us...sheesh!! Hope u din feel too left out when u inserted dialect and mandarin into our jokes and hopefully, u learnt as much abt the chinese culture as we learnt about the indian culture =)
Luke
Heys 6-ge...veri used to callin u this alr...and i think its great that all of us have a pet name in the group...and it feels reallie family to me. U are like the technician, artist, cameraman video maker all fit into one and i tink we would be so absolutely crippled without u...i cant imagine myself doin the video and one thing, ur final video is reallie wen xin lors...haha as i quote from the comments i received from peeps like xinyan...well done =) Even then, i am still not gonna forgive ya fer the chinese sinseh comment...humph!! Even u also bully me, i got nothing to say alr...how could u take the lead from Ray? hiaz...
Ray
The gay partner or "rabbit" of Luke...shamelessly hopeless...hiaz...the starter of the suan-yv-hair revolution...I hateeeeee u!!! haha...kiddin la, i where got so vengeful, jus make sure u dun cut a screwed up hair next sem and let me see ya ard...be assured i wun gif ya peace of mind...heh heh *evil grinz* Aniwae, u have been the lamer of the group, the joker and wat have u...the target of all the slaps from me and verbal abuse of the gers...bless ur brave soul!! It has been GREAT havin u in the team, u lighten the atmosphere a real lot and all ur wayang-in tactics are jus...BAGUS...hee. Stop being so impish, or it is goin to be veri difficult fer us to market u u see... :)
Bai Xin
Hey prof bai...as i always say, i apologise for my poor hearing and weak understanding of what you say. But i jus wanna comment ya fer always tryin ur best to communicate ur ideas to us and i can reallie see the effort u have put in. Dun give up and keep tryin ok, most importantly, dun lose faith in yourself...u are always our prof bai!! The LTB experience wouldn't be complete without u =)
And lastly, our TA Elgin, almost forgot ya...Although ur presence couldn't always be seen, it was certainly felt...and being the butt of ur email lame jokes, i certainly felt ur presence. Thanks for all your guidance and help in these 13 weeks and Team Ripple Effect wouldn't have made it thus far without ur highly encoded hints. U have honed our interpretation skills man!! haha, on a serious note, i reallie tink u have been a great TA although u missed out on quite a fair bit of our funny incidents, i am sure the videos u saw had shedded some light to our suddenly bizarre behaviour...eee, okies time for me to catch some sleep...8 hrs of sleep for 2 days is taking its toll on me...ciaoz

Went to a service this mornin...must say that its a rather different experience and a rather weird one considering that i am not a christian. FYI, i do have a religion but i went cos i have never been to a service before. Personally, i think that they are too aggressive, I noe its nice if u are passionate about wat you believe and i suppose that they think that everyone whu goes to church are staunch believers but they do not realise that non-believers may get freaked out by they way they are "hard-selling" the religion. I am being very frank here, but when they were singing, it does feel cult-ish to me cos there are people waving their hands in mid air with their eyes closed as if they were in a trance...It kinda gives me shudders seeing such behaviours.
I think people believe in a religion to find solace and blunt as i may be, people only turn to divine intervention in times of adversity and its hard to get people to believe in something they have no need for jus by praising lord and telling themselves that someone paid the price for their sins some 2000 yrs ago. Personally, i am not taken in. What i see in a religion should be testimonials of people whu reallie benefit from praying and praying fer the accumulation of good fortune.
Enough of christianity, now let me do a little "preaching" as well, wonder if u guys have heard about it, if u want to know more about my religion, Soka Association, feel free to click on the link Soka Gakkai International. I welcome any questions provided i have the answers cos i am rather slack in my religious studies. =) okies, now back to studyin fer MA, tmr got test man!!

You Are Incredibly Logical
(You got 88% of the questions right)
Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic
You think rationally, clearly, and quickly.
A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer!
