Consequences of not sleeping enough

Just woke up from my deep sleep. Felt so much better and rejuvenated from my sleep. Hadn't felt this way for the whole week already. Yesterday was especially bad. I was really tired and stoned throughout the day.

Design had been whirling in my mind continuously. I don't seem to give myself much rest, by thinking less of design. Submission is in another 19 days time, and I am afraid of it. There's so much to do, yet so little time. Have been so preoccupied with my design, that my surroundings disappeared. I would not pay attention to the surrounding traffic while i walk... I would not have noticed if I accidentally dropped my things in the bus... Disatrous. Not good.

Met a senior to crit my work, and he gave more suggesstions, that would enhance my design conceptually. But, his suggesstions would bring about an over haul to my design, where my plans and elevations which are confirmed, would be in jeopardy. Not too sure if I should go ahead with his comments, but I will consider hard and pray about it.

Yesterday, I had a long and tiring day. Went out the whole day running errands. Went to meet my thailand friend who is here in Singapore over the weekend. Was about to bring him to eat spicy hotpot in chinatown, but did not eventually because i discovered that my wallet was lost when we were travelling to chinatown. Walked back to hotel to look for it, but couldn't find it. Wasn't particularly worried or upset... Just tired and listless for many things had happened in the entire day. In the end, didn't manage to bring my thailand friend out, and I took a MRT and cab and got a friend in hall to pay for my cab fees.

When I opened my door to my room, I saw my pretty blue pouch sitting on the chair.
My wallet was in it. Intact.
Certainly felt dumb and silly.

A siociologist's explanation
Increased rationalisation brought about by modernisation of society and implementation of industrial education resulted in people becoming increasing rational and logical. Emprical proof is necessary in explaining a phenomena.

By contrast, people in the traditional society perceived things mostly non rationally, usually intuitively.

When there's an earthquake... People from different eras offer different explanations.

People from a traditional society would say that their gods/ God was angry,
while people from the modern society would explain earthquake as a geographical phenomena caused by the movements of techtonic plates of the earth.

While we examine the increased individual secularisation among the people with decreased religious participation, we should attempt to question the rational explanation. If the existence of an earthquake is explained by the moving techtonic plates, why would then be the existence of the tectonic plates? One would answer that the techtonic plates are parts of the crust surface of the earth. Next, if techtonic plates are part of the earth, why would then be the existence of the earth?

My answer...
Because there is a Creator, a creator of all things on earth, including the earth itself and its atoms.
He is God.

A scientific rational explanation could infact be irrational in its roots. Irrationality is not insanity or ungrounded. Irrationality is beyond one's explanation with an emprical proof. One needs to have faith in order to believe.

The explanation of God is irrational However, this irrationality is frimly grounded in the Word of God, the bible, and Jesus Christ, the rock and foundation.

From Winter to Spring
From Summer to Autumn to Winter to Spring in Korea ...
and to Summer in Singapore!

He is Seung Huan, Bob. My helpful Korean friend. He's coming to Singapore in July for a month. Can't wait to see him soon. =)

To my friend whom I miss

I dreamt of you friend.

If you do read this, I just want to let you know that I care for you. Really excited about meeting you, but I am pretty much tied down with my archi project. You know how is life for an archi student, because you were in my shoes before. I pray that you are happy, well and going strong. May you find passion and enthusiasm in all things that you are doing. All the best for ya dissertation. I am sure, with your intellect and analytical mind, you would be able to produce a good dissertation.

You take care. =)

Living Sacrifices

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God -- this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
