Old Testament Gripes!

I'm studying for my OT examination next thursday and man!!! I'm stuck with so many questions and looking for the answers. Yeah... not exactly very good eh? Exams coming round and I'm still not entirely ready. I've got one more week to go, which is good though!

Just about 2 weeks before I head off home and I'm looking forward to it! Not sure if I can get the stuff my mom wants (a few thai traditional dresses). Looking forward to a retreat when I get back! Nate travels! haha It's gonna be Thailand >> Singapore >> Malaysia >> Singapore >> Thailand! All after the examinations!

I was just asked to accompany the school on a trip for next year (Songkran break) to East/West Malaysia for a tour -- be the photographer. Haven't decided yet! So many things I wanna do... but so little time. Sigh... Thats life I guess!

Out for today! Gotta get back to the books! Dr. Kai (My dean) just lent me his book... For me to study. heehee~ okayzz tata!

Backdated posts that never appeared:

Okay, this was from Monday:

ever wonder what life would be like if everything was just the way you wish it would be like? no stress, cruising through examinations, be as popular/unpolular as you wished, have no stress in any relationships, have anything and everything you wished for, to wish your way out of any accidents/mishaps/wrongdoings, go back in time and not do something if you made a mistake... ever wonder what life would be like? i was just thinking about it and i think that it would be a hell of a mess! think about it - if every single person had the ability to wish their way out of something... it would be total chaos!

take this scenario for instance: Person A and Person B are friends. Person A wishes that B would be his bestest friend ever. Person B wishes that person A would get hit by a truck and die... so what would happen? Person A and B are best friends and person A gets hit by a truck and person B gets sad after wanting him to die? So person B wishes back his wish to be before when all that happened and so Person A's wishes come true and person B becomes person A's best friend; but wait - isn't Person B supposed to be able to wish too? Oh well - just to illustrate a point that I'm not really thinking right I think. - too much studying makes Nat a dull boy.

Drove down to Saraburi today with Takeshi (a Jap theology student; he rides a Yamaha) and we went to lotus. Realised that my helmet needs to be changed - it leaks air and water :( it started to drizzle when we were on the highway, almost reaching Saraburi and my face got wet despite the helmet being a full-faced helmet. Will get it done tomorrow as I've got no classes.

Examinations are coming around and I'm studying and studying and studying. It's almost driving me nuts! Zwingli, the Swiss Reformation, Luther and his 95 theses that slammed the catholic church - a mere monk against the pious pope and his entourage, the canonization of the bible and more... wheee! Nate is gonna go nuts soon! haha... k signing off!

This was from Tuesday:

Today, Jaakko and I went down to Saraburi - he wanted to get a new helmet... to cut the long story short. We went there and didn't get a helmet. Ended up having a meal at Lotus and driving back. haha... crazy!

Sunnyside feeling!

Its monday - you're supposed to have the monday blues but... nada! No blues today! Why? Its the king's birthday - that means national holiday! been studying all morning - History of Christianity; the course that is driving me nuts! It's interesting though, to learn about how the reformation came about.

Martin Luther, Huldrich Zwingli and the rest of the crew coming up with 'new theology' that set up the whole reformation era~ Oh well! Just updating the world on what I'm doing and what I've been doing!

Might head off to Saraburi later with Takeshi to get our brake pads changed... thats it! tata!

Sunflowers and Bikes!

It's Friday - Jaakko and I drove out about 50km to some sunflower fields. A good 40mins drive out in the open widing roads. We passed by the "Tree Tunnel" on the way there and decided to stop on the way back to take some shots of our bikes. A really nice enjoyable way to relax after a week of really gruelling tests and assignments! here are some pix!!

Thats the little dot of white - me!


Beautiful yellow HUGE sunflowers!

That's Jaakko in blue. See how SMALL he is? haha!


Me trying to be the king of the sunflower field!
