Unbelievable. I looked at it and laughed. Here's the thing, if you, in your most logical mind, would like to con people of their money, wouldn't you formulate a plan and lure people to be attracted at the very least? I have seen really good scam-jobs in my life-time, as a civilian and as a Police-man; but the above is a joke. USD$5.1 Million for $10.2 Million. Hello? Anybody home? 

1) Is this email compelling with a story-plot and furnished with enough details?: No.

2) Is there a slight hint of credibilty?: Are you kidding? 

3) Who has USD$5.1 million liquid cash in this day and age? Even so, it's probably held in assets, property or in some cash fund now. 

4) Even if I do have such an amount of money, where do I transfer it to?: Write back to him and become pen-pals?

Dear Prof Charles Soludo, I am amazed that the Nigerian Government would be so willing to inject such a random economic stimulus package to nice random folks like me to boost the world economy. What a fair ideal, to seek to trinkle with your funds and trickle it into my fairer hands. Perhaps we could purchase a PAR product or pursue a free-hold and live happily ever after? 

Unbelievable.

Post Asia Conference Joy!

A day after Asia Conference..utterly Amazing! Life transforming, mind blowing and agenda setting! 

Still experiencing the post-joy and excitement, sitting here in the NUS business library studying for my exams. I have a paper on the 25th of Nov, 27th Nov, 1 Dec and last one on the 4th of Dec. 

Will write about Asia Conference soon.

An ode to Grace: our lives are all that matters

Relinquish my power, I give to You,

That is, my all, it all belongs to You. 

How futile man's thoughts, when it all comes from You, 

a flicker of a wick, when fire was through. 

In a singular direction the ship steers, its bow moves with a rage,

"What is before us so, I can't say; 

but I trust that we will be whole when we reach home."

A kept secret in the captain's mind, 

while his ship shivers down the spine. 

Parts of us are broken everyday,

the stern and sail gets hit and torn all the same.

"What hold the vessel when the inner vessels worn?"

Nothing, absolutely nothing, it seems to show. 

When the storm cease and the rocking stops,

when the bough breaks, this cradle will drop;

all is lost, the ship is gone.

But our lives are all but on the shore. 

ASIA CONFERENCE 2008 IN 2 DAYS!!!

Excited is too little a word in the limited english vocabulary to express how I feel about Asia Conference 2008! 

If only we can appreciate the full magnitude of what God is about to do through our church, through Asia Conference, to touch Asia and transform the world! 

Let us pray and believe we can stretch the minds of the Christian World, remove all religious mindsets, release Christians to their fullest potential, enlarge the possibilities of what we can do as a body and give the Devil a heaven of a time on earth!

~Lets go through the veil, to a time that is now~

Rounded the bandits up and banished them...for now!

This week has been a super hectic week...3 essays, 15 books for research, and tons of citations down; I'm drained but joyful...overjoyed in fact!!! I'm done with readings and essays for a while...until they come back.

  

Perhaps Newton's first Law of motion stands true in humans lives,  that "A body continues to maintain its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external

unbalanced force." This is the law of inertia. Starting on the essay, and formulating

a flow of argument was always the hardest part. I would pace up and down the house, flip through the books countless times, lie on the bed for 5 min's (which sometimes becomes 5

hours), have countless restless nights with mental burden and internal debates on what would be the best angle to tackle the question. But once I start writing the first sentence, everything would seem to fall into place. Its starting that's always the toughest...

I would like to thank Joseph for the last essay. Being a physics essay, he offered to bring me into his physics lab, to be with physicists, with all the physics apparatus, with my physics books to

finish the physics essay! 

My work station for the day. 

 Howard: SO this is the time I turn into The Hulk and start running through the lab walls? 

Joseph: Yeah...woo...the computer is blinking green...

Howard: Whoo...the heatsink is turning green...How much does it cost? *Looks suspiciously* 

Joseph: $170...the most expensive heatsink...and its a quad-core processor...

Howard: Aw....beautiful...green thing...

Joseph: *Smiles* Um........................................................................ah!!!

Joseph's school bag that's actually a Travelling bag!

And Joseph showed me...Firstly, a vacuum that could simulate space-like conditions!

 -79 Degrees! Now I wanna fridge like this for Christmas! "Take out the roast!"..."I can't my hand is stuck to the wall?!"

Super-duper microscope machine thingy! 

Howard: "Whoa!"

Notice the sign above...We study the superhumans...Heroes such as you. 

Coming soon to NUS...

Parting words? 

Um.....................................ah!

Exams are an examinable exemption to life: My Life in NUS and NUS in my life

Received an SMS from a friend yesterday in the midst of studying in the library: 

Congratulations! 

Good News for all NUS students, FINAL EXAM have been cancelled in this semester. 

To confirm, kindly log on to

Brings out the Rar! in you! 

Lol! 

When reviewing your notes before an exam, the most important will be illegible. 

***The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want. 

***80% of the final exam will be based on the one lecture you missed and the one book you didn't read. 

***Every instructor assumes that you have nothing else to do except study for that instructor's course. 

***Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.

Measure for Measure - Act 2 Scene 2

ISABELLA 

    'Save your honour! 

    Exeunt ISABELLA, LUCIO, and Provost 

ANGELO 

    From thee, even from thy virtue! 
    What's this, what's this? Is this her fault or mine? 
    The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? 
    Ha! 
    Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I 
    That, lying by the violet in the sun, 
    Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, 
    Corrupt with virtuous season. Can it be 
    That modesty may more betray our sense 
    Than woman's lightness? Having waste ground enough, 
    Shall we desire to raze the sanctuary 
    And pitch our evils there? O, fie, fie, fie! 
    What dost thou, or what art thou, Angelo? 
    Dost thou desire her foully for those things 
    That make her good? O, let her brother live! 
    Thieves for their robbery have authority 
    When judges steal themselves. What, do I love her, 
    That I desire to hear her speak again, 
    And feast upon her eyes? What is't I dream on? 
    O cunning enemy, that, to catch a saint, 
    With saints dost bait thy hook! Most dangerous 
    Is that temptation that doth goad us on 
    To sin in loving virtue: never could the strumpet, 
    With all her double vigour, art and nature, 
    Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid 
    Subdues me quite. Even till now, 
    When men were fond, I smiled and wonder'd how. 

NUS Prayer Meeting 3rd Nov 2008

 ‘ Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ 
      Says the LORD of hosts. - Zec 4:6

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” - Acts 1:8 

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 

- Acts 2:1-2

But as it is written: 


      “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
      Nor have entered into the heart of man
      The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” - 1 Cor 2:9

“ Listen to Me, O Jacob, 
      And Israel, My called: 
      I am He, I am the First, 
      I am also the Last. 
       Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, 
      And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; 
      When I call to them, 
      They stand up together. 
       “ All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! 
      Who among them has declared these things?
      The LORD loves him; 
      He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, 
      And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans. 
       I, even I, have spoken; 
      Yes, I have called him, 
      I have brought him, and his way will prosper.  - Isa 48:12-15

A new season I bring you into...

Increase in creativity, capability and ability...

I will provide for this new season of your life...

Faith and strength to come into your heart...

Daughter of grace...

“Every thinking man, when he thinks, realizes that the teachings of the Bible are so interwoven and entwined with our whole civic and social life that it would be literally impossible for us to figure ourselves what that life would be if these standards were removed. We would lose almost all the standards by which we now judge both public and private morals; all the standards which we, with more or less resolution, strive to raise ourselves.” 

- Theodore Roosevelt (American 26th US President (1901-09), 1858-1919)

This is for you.

Isaiah 54 (The Message) 

Spread Out! Think Big!

 1-6 "Sing, barren woman, who has never had a baby. 
   Fill the air with song, you who've never experienced childbirth!
You're ending up with far more children 
   than all those childbearing women." God says so!
"Clear lots of ground for your tents! 
   Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!
Use plenty of rope, 
   drive the tent pegs deep.
You're going to need lots of elbow room 
   for your growing family.
You're going to take over whole nations; 
   you're going to resettle abandoned cities.
Don't be afraid—you're not going to be embarrassed. 
   Don't hold back—you're not going to come up short.
You'll forget all about the humiliations of your youth, 
   and the indignities of being a widow will fade from memory.
For your Maker is your bridegroom, 
   his name, God-of-the-Angel-Armies!
Your Redeemer is The Holy of Israel, 
   known as God of the whole earth.
You were like an abandoned wife, devastated with grief, 
   and God welcomed you back,
Like a woman married young 
   and then left," says your God. 

 7-8Your Redeemer God says:

   "I left you, but only for a moment. 
   Now, with enormous compassion, I'm bringing you back.
In an outburst of anger I turned my back on you— 
   but only for a moment.
It's with lasting love 
   that I'm tenderly caring for you.

 9-10"This exile is just like the days of Noah for me: 
   I promised then that the waters of Noah 
   would never again flood the earth.
I'm promising now no more anger, 
   no more dressing you down.
For even if the mountains walk away 
   and the hills fall to pieces,
My love won't walk away from you, 
   my covenant commitment of peace won't fall apart." 
   The God who has compassion on you says so.

 11-17"Afflicted city, storm-battered, unpitied: 
   I'm about to rebuild you with stones of turquoise,
Lay your foundations with sapphires, 
   construct your towers with rubies,
Your gates with jewels, 
   and all your walls with precious stones.
All your children will have God for their teacher— 
   what a mentor for your children!
You'll be built solid, grounded in righteousness, 
   far from any trouble—nothing to fear! 
   far from terror—it won't even come close!
If anyone attacks you, 
   don't for a moment suppose that I sent them,
And if any should attack, 
   nothing will come of it.
I create the blacksmith 
   who fires up his forge 
   and makes a weapon designed to kill.
I also create the destroyer— 
   but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged.
Any accuser who takes you to court 
   will be dismissed as a liar.
This is what God's servants can expect. 
   I'll see to it that everything works out for the best." 
         God's Decree.
