To Kill a Mockingbird

Hah, after less than one week, I had finished this book. Indeed it was a good read. The main reason why I can finish this so early is because of the fast pace and engaging plot. In the beginning, the description of Scout Finch's daily life is interesting but not good enough to get me hooked. When the storyline moves to the case of Tom Robinson, it is very intense and emotional. I finished the last part of the novel in less than three hours as I could not stop reading. (Actually I stopped to sleep as it was already 1.30 am, but I continued reading as soon as I woke up) The father of Scout, Atticus Finch is the character in the novel that I admire the most. He is a perfect example of an ideal man, even more than Joe Gargery in Great Expectations, whom I also admire. Atticus is a noble lawyer, wise, loving and always try to be open-minded to his children. Anyway, you should really read this novel. I have to thank Chee Loong for introducing this book to me. Time to find another good book to read!

Recess Week

Ok, today is the start of recess week. For most people, it is time to sleep till noon and play until midnight. Not for me, though. Today, I had to wait up early in the morning to go to SRC for Malaysians Sports Day. I had promised Wern Chiet to become helper and also first aider. Ah, it has been a long time since I went for first aid duty. Last time I went to duty should be Chinese New Year 2008. Anyway, I was the mobile first aider, covering the whole field, running up and down, while trying to help people with my rusty skills. Anyway, it was a nice experience and the event was a success in my opinion. However, this is not the end of my hectic recess week. Tomorrow, I will go together with Wen Qiang to source for Project Kasih logistic stuff. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I will be attending the Standard First Aid course, in order to get my first aid cert in Singapore. For Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there will be Project Kasih team meeting and probably team bonding activity. Not to forget that I still have my formal lab report , effective communication assignment, and two LDP things, NewU as well as 3rd workshop.

In conclusion, this will be a tough and hectic recess week for me. I just hope that I have time to read the book, To Kill a Mockingbird that I just bought.

Why I stop writing Project L.O.V.E. 2008 Journal

The title says it all. I am too busy in this semester that I have no time to do anything at all. Therefore, at the mean time, this blog will be hibernating. BTW, for those who are interested, I did quite good for my first semester in NTU. 4.83 out of 5.00. I hope I can maintain my result. That's all for now.
