popcorn

a hard exterior, undergoes explosion. form changes, feeds people.

i have come to believe that the single most important criteria for doing well in examinations is divine inspiration. not that i can tell my students that, i think.

and so it comes to that time once again, where i find my own strength insufficient. i look at my efforts, and see how dismal they are. i am surrounded by supermen, but i am only clark kent and nothing more.

truly good grades are a gift from the Lord, and no-one else. let no one boast in this. if He wills to be gracious to you, that is good. and if He chooses to give you some other good gift instead, that is good too. what have we to do, but to be faithful in what we do daily.


Take my heart it is Thine own
it shall be Thy royal throne

Bird-watching

gotten quite enthusiastic about birdwatching of late... it doesn't take much effort. just look around when you hear them calling. but you usually have to spend quite abit of time looking... birds tend to be fairly small. and then you go look on the internet and in books and stuff to find out what they're called.

i saw a Greater Racket-tailed Drongo in Macritchie three times... i think it was probably the same bird, on three different occasions. I saw a pair of Magpie Robins and a pair of Black-Naped Orioles hanging around FASS, a small group of Olive-backed Sunbirds hanging around near Physics, and a pair of Common Flamebacks (beautiful woodpeckers with bright orangey backs) behind PGP. thinking about joining some of the Nature Society (Singapore) excursions.

also saw a skink wander across the track in Macritchie and a kingfisher in Bishan Park
