110206

verses read: Jeremiah 5:1-17
prayer: 10 minutes

In this passage, the Lord spells out quite plainly the sins of Israel and goes on to describe quite explicitly what will happen to them and who will come to conquer them. Very painful passage to read actually. The term “backslide” is actually taken from this book. But it means more than its current meaning; it actually means something closer to apostasy and that is actually very terrible.

Yesterday was a very gratifying day. My interview with MOE went well; I think. I was the last interviewee for the day and (to me at least) the interview felt like it lasted 5 minutes. I don’t think that’s a good sign. But they looked quite happy and were even laughing at some of my replies; so I really don’t know. Anyway, I was prepped very well by my aunt who told me the kind of questions that would be asked if she were on the interview panel. True enough they indeed asked a lot of those questions. Including the one about me being accepted way back in 2000. That’s actually quite a blemish to my record; but well. I will know in a few weeks time.

Later spent a few hours in the library doing my thesis. I’ve completed it. At least the two main results; but I will need to verify the proofs with A/P Leung and put it into writing after that. Then with the remaining two weeks, see what other results I can add in. I hope to add at last two more results to give my work some meat; at the moment it’s quite thin and honestly too little for my liking.

Today; practice at night. It will be the first time I will be leading worship at youth since last September. Nice long break. I really needed it. We’ll see what happens after that.
