UPDATE: Sorry, it seems a number of people are getting the wrong idea from this post. Hehe, oops. So let me explain: I have passed, I will be getting my MScEng in March. “End” of my academic career: refers to the fact that I’m particularly unlikely to do another degree, but I can never be [...]

On relatively short notice, I joined my uncle, a friend of my uncle’s, and two cousins on a run in Cape Town. They were aiming to do Three-Peaks: Devil’s Peak, McClear’s Beacon and Lion’s Head. I only did the first. Starting at Kloofnek (250m), we headed up the mountain to the fire lookout (501m). From [...]

Yea, a date… can you believe it. After all these years, Hugo finally has a date. For a thesis defence for his M.ScEng, that is. Now things get messy: I’m cancelling my entry in the Go tournament. I must prepare to suffer the wrath of TD (the Tournament Director). In particular, the tournament director responded: [...]

Just a misc personal update. As I’ve mentioned previously, I want to go on four weeks of holiday starting with Easter. I have a couple of other activities on Tuesdays. This clashes with Shofar’s Bible School. Yup, I went to Bible School yesterday! It was just the intro session. I’m quite eager to learn what [...]

I’m tired of intolerance, hatred and war. I’m tired of groups attacking one another, to feel better about themselves. I’m the unfortunate recipient of a collection of genes or memes or a combination of both that causes me to simply care a little too much. Right now, I’m trying to check out a variety of [...]

Random thought: there is no such thing as a bottomless cup. Especially with cups that seem really big, the bottom can sometimes creep up on you and surprise you when you least expect it. It might be useful to find some bubbling wells accompanying you through your life, from which you can refill your cup. [...]

As I mentioned in my previous post, it is time for me to read some more. I love my friends, and I know they love me, just look at the wonderful diversity of books I received! All of these came from friends that read my blog and comment sometimes. Does God Believe in Atheists is [...]

Hehe, surprising how much fun it is to shout “Repent! Repent!”, like a manic street preacher. At least Johan Swarts claims there’s one difference between bloggers like me and a manic street preacher: some people supposedly listen to me? (Apologies to Johan — and Leon — for having grown up English, educationally speaking. My home [...]
