Presentations.Exams.Decisions.

Yes yes, im neglecting my blog once again.

Owh well, nothing much i can do about it. Exams are just 2 weeks away and all my time is taken up. Sigh.
I just realized how draining all the assignments can be. And i havent even started studying for finals yet!


Im just looking forward to going home in 3 weeks time. But before that, ive got heaps of things to do and decide on.

1. Whether or not I should take summer school this semester (cause i dont need to)

2. Whether or not i should extend my stay back home.

3. Get 1 & 2 done so that I can plan out my timetable for next semester.

4. Whether or not I should look for a place in the city and move out? (im practically wasting 3 hours a day everytime i head to college. And note, i dont miss classes.)


Planning and weighing all my options for 1 & 2 alone takes up so much time. Ive gotta get that settled in 2 days so that I can get all my timetable sorted out and concentrate on studying for exams.

Okay, that was written 2 weeks ago. and i couldnt even be bothered to finish writing it.

Now exams are next week, ive got one more presentation in Friday and Ive decided not to do summer school end of this year.
But still on decided whether or not i should extend my stay back home.


I days this week has been very routinized. wake up, class, library, home.
What else is there to do with exams just around the corner? Im literally tired all they time.


Alright, thats about it for now. Next update will probably be after exams.

One Of The Best Arguments I have ever read.



Don’t miss even a single word…. It’s Too good

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and…..

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student: Yes..

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)

Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From….God…

Prof: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son…Have you ever seen God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist.
What do you say to that, son?

Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.

Student: No sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture the after becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat..
But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright
light, flashing light…..But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?

Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought.. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is
not the opposite of life: just the absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)

Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student: That is it sir… The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation…and if so…you’ll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same…won’t you?….this is a true story, and the

student was none other than …….
APJ Abdul Kalam, the former President of India ( This was posted by our page fan and we shared it..) And it has came to our notice that it was Einstein not ABdul kalam.. sorry regarding this aspect..

Rugby World Cup Event.

So, I was working for the Rugby World Cup event for the past 2 days in the city. It was a promotional job giving out flyers which I got from a classmate. Basically what we had to do was dress up with shirts, scarfs, beanies and face paint of the teams playing that particular weekend and give out flyers.

It's a pretty easy and fun job especially with the things you are able to experience with so many different type of tourist around. The only downside of the job though is that it can be really tiring. But heck, who's complaining? Every job is tiring anyways.

I especially love giving packets of jellybeans to kids and seeing them smile. There was this kid in particular which I saw fell and started to cry. His mum carried him and tried to stop him from crying but he didnt stop. What made him stop and started smiling though was when I went up to him and asked him whether he wanted jellybeans. He stopped crying and said thank you in the cutest voice. Made my day big time =)







There were a few people that we encountered which I particularly remember.

1. A person saying that he did not want to take the flyers just because it's made out from a non recyclable type of paper (arent all papers recyclable??)

2. Old people asking for jellybeans (yes, we had jellybeans with us and they were meant for kids. LOL)

3. A guy which said "Fuck no! Fuck off!" (and yes, he meant it in a very angry tone. PMS much?)

4. A guy which came up and pretended to be interested, started asking questions and in the end, ended up asking us for 2.50 cause he "needed it" LOL.


Can't wait for the next 2 shifts i have next week. Too bad it's only a 4 day thing.
