Sorry this post is going to be boring as I am uninspired to write at the moment… but just one piece of news:
ERN SHEONG WILL BE GETTING BAPTIZED TOMORROW!!!!
I remember many years ago seeing people get baptized in church and I wondered whether I would ever come to that stage in my walk with Christ. [...]

What are we all striving for?

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

I realized that I didn’t care anymore whether I was from whatever-name university. After all, in business, I realize that people come from everywhere, not just HYPSM.

Hilarious group in Facebook with the following description:
This group is for Berkeley students coming together to recognize the ‘rivalry,’ and then make sure Stanford students realize that they are simply inferior to us.
The term rivalry implies that there is some aspect of the relationship between the two parties that is competitive. What we have [...]

Poll is closed. Thanks for voting!
[poll=2]
I want to thank all of you for voting between Berkeley and Cornell on where I should continue my studies. The poll is now closed. Of course, I did not choose based on your votes, but rather because of my own preferences. But your votes did give some support to [...]
