This week's SOTW is the awesomely creative @Hippo2626 =DD
Hi I'm Titus Ang Chee Leong From Singapore. I'm Chindian (My dad is Chinese and My mum is Indian) but I can bearly speak Tamil or Mandarin. Some things I love: Comic books, I love the stories in it. Immersing myself in the DC/Marvel/Wildstorm/etc. Universes, studying it in the rich and global mythologies of the comic books, searching for easter eggs, studying it and learning about the cultural implications of the human race. (proof of my geekiness) Modern Physics, My dream one day is to get a doctorate in one of the fields, Either Theoretical physics or Astrophysics. Most of the things I read about it always lingers in my head. It's fascinating to study into the inner mechanisms of the galaxy, quarks and all that stuff. (proof of my nerdiness) Animals, I have too many at home, Chickens, Dogs (RIP Morpheus my first dog who died recently), Fishes, Parrots and the list goes on. We had a pet snake and bat once. They always brighten my day when I come home after a tiring day and my dogs greet me and my fishes stare me blankly. Eating, I'm fat and I like it that way! Food Is awesome! And I saved the best for last, Jesus!!! I'm a Christian and I'm proud to be one! I thank God for saving my soul and now everyday I dwell in the presence of God serving him and enjoying my life! Though I do pray that everyone here will be saved, I won't force Christianity in your faces because I don't believe in that form of evangelism. Some Info about my spinning career. I started Spinning in June 2008 but I wasn't really Serious back then. It took me 1.5 years to learn the fundamentals, Infinity, Shadow, Tw. Sonic and a couple of other beginners tricks (proof that I suck at Pen Spinning.) I got serious in January 2010 so I'm still relatively new. I really enjoy the creative side of pen spinning, BaiMai, Freeman, Fel2fram, Gisele8, Jamie Enns, Kirbo, Mage In Black, Ponkotu, Snow, Stuhl and Wah are my favourite spinners because of their creativity (Hope one day I'll be as creative as they are) but my original inspiration to actually pick up Pen Spinning was Sazien in his WC08 combos. I want to be able to contribute to Pen Spinning in a big way some day and be as helpful as I can here on UPSB as possible. I'm hoping to represent UPSB next year in the WC12 but I have a lot of work to do. Any questions about anything feel free to ask me here or anytime! I'll try my best to answer them. God bless.

In short yes I alway have believed in God but I was never always a Christian. Did you ever doubt God? I used to. Not anymore. Have you committed any sins? Of course I did. before I was a Christian. I did it a fair amount of times when I was a Christian. I can't say that I wont ever or I don't anymore 'cause sometimes I'm not sure but I love God enough to try not to How do you think a person should spend his life? I think they should spend their lives honouring God and following his word but everyone has free will. @nateiskewl

What would you do if: You only have a few dollars with you which you need to use to get home, and then a beggar suddenly comes up to you and persistently begs you for money? You were given a pile of homework which you can not even solve half of it, and have many friends online who are busy? Someone tripped you? Someone punched you in the face for absolutely no reason?

Do you wake up tired and sometimes get sleepy in school? Do you get sick often, or very seldom? Ever watched Phua Chu Kang?

So your feelings are enough for you to believe in a deity? That's very surprising, considering feelings certainly not enough to prove something in physics. -

Huh never thought of that. What would your dream mod look, feel, smell like? Would be Skyblue completely, No pointy tips Gspec grips at the very ends of the mod about 1.5-2cm long. Body would be slightly grippy like flexgrip ultra. As think as a Supertip. The entire mod would be straight (no bumps/grip sticking out throughout). 21-21.5cm long and weighs about the same weight as a waterfall mod and the weight distribution would be about the same as well. It would look like a wand with nothing popping out. It would smell like famous amos cookies! @Spartan

Hippo2626;79526] Let's put it this way. The standing believe throughout history is that there has been a deity. Plus the minority of people believe that there is no God so it is up to the Atheist to show evidence that God does not exist.[/QUOTE] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot [QUOTE=Hippo2626;79526]Also from what I've studied in morden physics and biology, though there is no proof that there is a God through equations or photographs or whatever, it looks very impossible that systems, how the universe works, lifeforms and everything else to be formed by chance.[/QUOTE] You don't have a broad enough understanding of science to be able to comprehend how the universe works.

I have had a feeling since before the WT started that someone unexpected was going to win. So I;m gonna' say Snow or Sponge Which board do you think will win WC12? I'm rooting for UPSB!!!! What do you think of JEB and thai-style fanboys? Whatever floats your boat Where do you get new linkage ideas from? I'm not sure a lot of things I guess. One way is questioning whether something can be done in another manner. For instance taking the sick seabass, I see if I can do it inversely, if it can be done in as an inverse fall, if it can be done aerially, etc. What would you do if you were attacked by a gigantic swarm of flying hamsters? Summon my horde of floating hippopotamus' to fight back. What do you think of 2012 apocalyse theories/rumours? -Nil- @i.suk
