Without blood there is no forgiveness

Don't mind the phrase. I am not seeking for revenge or anything. It's just a phrase from a passage I just read. It is kind of true in the sense that forgiveness cannot come if some sacrifice/compromise is reached.

To illustrate this, it's like when little Jimmy wants to forgive big Tommy who just cleaned the pavement with Jimmy's face. Jimmy (while picking up his teeth from the ground) has to hold down some of that vengeful feelings in him in order to really forgive Tommy for being a big jerk.

Today, has been a really long day for me. Been at uni from 8 in the morning to 10 at night. What have I been doing? Attended class at 10 in the morning. Listening to boring Thomas O'Daniel. Finally found out that he is American cause he quoted an example of calling up his dad back in the U.S. during lecture.

What is actually happening in class

And what I actually see......are 2 different things.

Later, sat down to brush up on my Applied Micro Macro assignment, due Monday. Still haven't fixed the bugs just yet. Gotta finish it soon.

Monash University, Sunway

Stayed in uni with Kat until we had to go up to room 3.13 to attend the MBC Networking Party. This time they opened both sides of the hall to combine it into one big hall.

Room 3.13. It's real big place in there.
(Side note: If you see that lone guy in white, he is an engineering student who didn't complete his work in time. He didn't join us after he finished drawing his graph)

Of course, no party wouldn't be complete without great food. We were provided with some excellent catered nasi lemak along with some other dishes from a supposed famous nasi lemak restaurant. Food was not short in supply. We still had plenty to go around after most of us (including people having their 5th servings) were done eating.

Everyone is tucking in after waiting some 15-2o minutes

Like hungry wolves, we saveged every single dish we could lay our hands on.

After stuffing ourselves full, it was time for games. I don't know about you, but I never really like these kinda games. Anything without a joypad/mouse & keyboard can't be half as good. Anyways, our activities man Z.Z. had thought it all out (missed out big time on managing the games properly). The games this time round were more bearable compared to the last round.

I can still remember having to walk out during one of the games cause it was far too long. Followed Kai Foong and Grace to A&W with Kat in tow. Had a good filling of waffles, felt guilty after that.

Back to the present day. We had 3 games in total. One was an ol' school game (where does the wind blow?), another was something I had played in church (balloon popping) and the last was a treasure hunt that took us around Monash.

Here we are playing the 'Balloon Popping' game

We had to rummage through thousand of straws to find a clue, dance a silly dance in the foyer, insert straws into a bottle while doing the splits and (turn away if you just had a meal)biting on chocolate through a straw (in the girl's toilet of all places). My group ended up last cause the last clue was pushed in beyond our line of sight.

Halfway through the prize giving a ghost came by to say 'hi'. Andrew was unphased and proceeded to take a photo of it.


It actually turned out to be Kai Foong standing out in the dark corridor, taking a peak. He DOES do a good impression of a bodyless head.

Well, all is said and done. This is the last Networking Party I will be going for I guess.
