Darwin vs God discussion

A few days ago was Darwin's Day and in my highschool alumni forum, there is this discussion concerning Darwin Theory, whether it's real and credible or it's a fake fairytale.

I observed the arguments. Those who argued for the credibility of Darwin Theory provided links of videos and researches journals. On the contrary, the one who believes that Darwin Theory is a fake doesn't want to state his views before the other side can argue for Darwin Theory by themselves instead of relying on those urls.

The end? No conclusion. Both sides (especially the one who believes that it is fake) is really stubborn.

My view? I believe it is true

How? I don't care. I'm not a scientist, so it's not my duty to prove it.

Then why belief? I don't know. Just because I do. Just because it makes more sense to me

Then I don't mind being compared to apes? Nope, I don't mind. What if my ancestors are apes? The fact now is that I'm not and it's all that matters.

Aren't you insulting God by saying that? Err... I don't really care about God. He can deal with His problems, I'm sure. I have faith in Him. Not necessarily I'm insulting him by the fact that my ancestors are apes.

Facts: I'm not a Christian or anything but I believe that God exists. Just that I think humans shouldn't bother Him. He can take care of Himself. Don't you think so..?

Resolution progress

I'm referring to my resolution for 2009 here.

I realized that... I might have improved in my writing skills, presentation skills and (probably) grades this term (my second resolution)

BUT, my first (which is to lose weight) and my third (not to be so emo and sensitive) are failing miserably =(

Oh well, at least now I know I have to work on it ^^

homesick

I miss mum
I miss dad
I miss my brother & sister

I miss home

is this my way?

I've always liked taking personality test and I've been taking countless of them. There is this one application in Facebook called MyPersonality and I've taken the test a few months ago.

However, yesterday when I opened it again, I realized one new feature about the most suitable college major. My most suitable one (according to the test) is architecture, followed by anthropology and psychology. Meanwhile, right now I'm taking business.

Regarding those choices that the test has chosen for me:
1. Architecture - I wanted to be an architect once but that was like ages ago. Primary school, I think. And by that time, I didn't really understand what is architecture. Even now, I also didn't know what am I supposed to do in architecture. I like to observe buildings - yes - but I'm not into designing it. So.. this one is definitely not me

2. Anthropology - I also never studied this before as it is a subject for social stream in high school whilst I took science stream back then. I understand it is a study of human culture though -- something I'm immensely interested in. This term I have a course called Creative Thinking and during this course, I'm faced to various artworks etc. On my observation about these works, I always relate to culture and humanity (indication!!)
I wouldn't mind studying this =P

3. Psychology - This field of study is also something I have interest in, although not as much as in anthropology. I like taking personality quizzes, I like observing people and guess what's their true personality etc. But yet, I don't think I want to delve further in this subject.

And Business is not even recommended for me there. But anyway, even though I didn't make the right choice back then, I believe I can make it right for me. There's no way back and I have to keep looking forward.

NUS Choir Concert

title: Varsity Voices

I watched NUS choir concert today.. With empty stomach... which sends signals to my head and making me having a headache.

Actually the concert is quite good (better than ours I think), but I could not really enjoy it. The sound and harmony is nice, the arrangement is quite good also, and I really appreciate their performance but I can't enjoy it because all the songs they sang are very serious songs. Of which I can't really process. And having empty stomach & headache didn't help.

I went with Ernest and met with Kenny, Jiaqi & her friends, and also Jeth there. Was quite surprised because at first I though more choir members will come along. It appears that I'm wrong haha.

Kenny is being emo as to when we are going to be as good as NUS choir (and cross-finger, VJC choir)

NUS got the championship and full mark for choir 2008 grand prix in St. Petersburg; the same grand prix we're going to attend this June. I know we're not up to their standard yet.

Anyway, a good choir ability is necessary. But, for me, I will still enjoy coming to SMUCC although it's not as good as NUS. Why? not the situation, not the abilities, but for the sake of singing =).

Faith

I'm not a Christian, I'm not a Catholic, but this is one inspirational story that really touches me. It's a story of faith and family.

I'm impressed for the faith this family has on God and His blessing.

Be strong, Jonathan

p.s. Jonathan is my choir friend
