1 down...3 more to go. Well, it's exams period and everyone is sticking their heads in the books, trying to dig as much information out of it as they can. Just had my Accounting External Reporting exam just now, at 645pm. That was the unit that i failed last semester. How did it go?? NOT GOOD!! That unit is one of the hardest unit in the whole accounting course and has a high percentage of failing rate. Everyone was stressed out. well, some were, and some looked pretty calm, some looked happy, and some just look like they dont even care lol.
We had our exam in the new lecture hall. And for the first time, i was this guy brought in a bag of snakes lollies, gave some to his friends who were sitting next to him, and they were eating it throughout the exam!!! i never thought u could do that??! eat during exam?? How can u still have the mood to enjoy the lolly while u are looking at the questions and go,"what the heck is this? how am i supposed to answer this??" Anyway, when the exam was over, everyone one walked out of the lecture hall and as usual, u see people started to get into groups and discussing about the exam papers, the answers they wrote, the answers that they should have wrote, bla bla bla...then i started to hear people swearing and stuff...like"ahh..so fxxking hard","that shxt is fxxked", "damn,,i fxxking stuffed up this question" etc.
Haha, interesting ain't it?? Oh well, it WAS really hard, so hopefully it'll get scaled up a lot and i'll be able to pass it.
My next hard unit, also coming up this thursday is Law Corporation. and this is also another deadly one. wish me luck!!
i shall get some rest, recuperate, and start off fresh tmr!! peace out!!

Christianity Vs Religion
Came across this as i was looking through Passion's site. Just thought to share it.
RELIGION vs. CHRISTIANITY
Hey World Here are some notes that I took while listening and watching a sermon that a Pastor preached. I hope that you can or would take time to read the verses stated in this sermon or simply consider what's being said:
Religion is mans attempt to please God by adhering to rules and regulations.
-Galatians 1:6-7
Why are people drawn to religion?
-Provides a system of measurement
-It provides a false comfort
I am not a religious person because religion never works
Problem with religion:
-It creates confusion
-Galatians 1:7
Break down the barriers and concentrate on the ONE thing that matters; that Jesus died on the cross for your sins.
-Galatians 1:10
-Religion focuses on mans work.
Why do people embrace religion?
-JESUS. Not Jesus PLUS being religious. It is JESUS no matter what!
The book of Galatians is all about breaking down the myth of religion.
RELIGION is spelled DO
You gotta do this, you gotta do that, gotta do it do it do it
CHRISTIANITY is spelled DONE
There is nothing left to do, when Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and when you accept that free gift of salvation, THATS IT! PERIOD! You do not have to do WORKS to gain His salvation.
RELIGION is mans attempt to reach God
CHRISTIANITY is the opposite. It is Gods attempt to reach man. Its Jesus loving us SO MUCH, that when we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. NOT when we were so good, but when we were sinners.
NOT US REACHING TO GOD, BUT GOD REACHING TO US
RELIGION focuses on the external
CHRISTIANITY focuses on the internal (whats inside your heart?)
God doesnt look at the exterior, He looks at the HEART.
Why are we doing the things we are doing?
I obey God not to gain His approval,
I obey God because of my sincere appreciation for what Hes done.
How does this apply to me?
-Galatians 1:11-12
-If you look at every other world religion on the scene, ever other religion that man has come up with, it all boils up to one thing, MAN trying to please the god. Man TRYING to gain approval, man TRYING to do this, man DYING, TRYING to please God.
-Christianity is totally different. Christianitys God dying for the world, while we were yet sinners.
-Galatians 1:13- 14 (BUT WHEN GOD)
-But when God changes everything.
-There are people that feel so bad for what they have done, BUT WHEN GOD, comes into the scene, everything changes.
-It doesnt matter what youve done or how many times youve done it, BUT WHEN GOD.
-When Saul saw Jesus, everything changed.
-When you catch a glimpse of what Jesus has done for you, everything changes.
-When God speaks, the doctors are silent.
-Jesus did not come into the world to put us in bondage (RELIGION),
-He didnt come into the world for us to live by a set of rules and regulations,
-Jesus came into the world for ONE purpose, to set the captives free.
-When you are free, you are free indeed!
_____________________________________________
So these are my notes that i took the other day. Remember that religion bites! yikes! lol. And remember that reading His word, praying, and just spending time with Him is what He longs for. Not your works and your constant battle of gaining His love. It's already been given to you. He wants to have a relationship with you, not religion. Anybody can be religious, but its the HEART that God looks for. Take care and God bless!

AH! school started for 2 weeks already! and the work load is pretty heavy! it's gonna be a tough semester. sigh. well apparently it's still ok...still able to cope hehe. The only thing that annoys me so much is the text books! they are so freakin expensive!! and they like to change the edition every year, so the students would have to buy new books..such a rip off. Well, i have uni every day for this sem, and the timetable is pretty shitty.......
anyway, i've posted a song that i just recorded like 30 mins ago..hehe..It's an original song by David Choi..a very talented song writer, music producer and singer. Can look him up in youtube...or visit his myspace (http://www.myspace.com/davidchoimusic)..his songs are nice! I'm inspired by him to do a proper recording for my songs one day :P So i was just fooling around, and recorded it. there's a little mistake in the middle of the song..hah don mind that! enjoy!
