Parentheses - An interruption of continuity; an interval.
"This is one of the things I wasn't prepared for — the amount of unfilled time, the long parentheses of nothing" (Margaret Atwood).
“For every period of time when you exist, short or long, there is a temporal part of you that exists only then. And for any temporal parts of any objects whatsoever, there is a larger object made up of just those parts.” - John Locke
"Every time I enunciate 'I', even in my thought, an identity is assumed, and this identity is itself not simple, but a figure of a complex gathering of personal and impersonal histories, texts, discourses, beliefs, cultural assumptions, and ideological interpellations...it is not an artifact but a process." - Richard Dyer
happyness,
the past few days have been memorable :] i got to spend time with the pple i love!
fri - went out with HHS to vivo to buy presents for BAWCW. ate at pastamania, that place totally reminds me of comp days, its valerie's favourite place to eat. chatted alot, searched super super long before we finally bought them shirts :)
sat - after speech day, which was very good, i went out with siewhwee. actually we found jingqin & chikan, wanted them to join us for lunch but jingqin has some debrief that'll take v long and chicken rather eat with his social ARGHHH. a failed attempt for LLS reunion ;[ anyway, we went to eat oldchangkee, beardpapa and dippingdonuts at vivo, again. we just walked abt super randomly and talked. I LOVE MY FELLOW SUPERFRUIT, POMMMM! :D :D :D
sunday - left house freaking early at 610am. took cab to guangyang pri, the place of many memories. it was the first place where i cried so openly like some bursted reservoir -.- was quite shocked to see that the cab fare was $8.80 (inside superstition). im so very proud of the guys! the got a 5th! :D honestly, this is rly very good for them. we were so afraid they cant make it past 8th place. below is a Transportation of Casualty case by our guys and a HomeNursing case by dno which zone ;
GOOD JOB! :) :) :) :) :)
after that, we went to J8 as usuallll. they ate at yoshinoya while i ate pepperlunch! yay me loves pepperlunch yo. after that i met them at Popular, where we discussed assessment books to buy, srsly rvians are muggers. like pple say "I'm so gna bring my parents here to buy clothes" and we say "I'm so gna bring my parents here to buy TYS". reached home at 10ish. and we hv math test next day, first period, congrats.
today - math test was a flop. think im gna fail this. nvm, failure is the mother of success and if we put some pollen grains on our failed paper they will self fertilise to give birth to success (according to albert's new superstition) ;D after schl went to eat lunch at Frangipani with, guess who, wilson sewei jingqin nicholas junrui. the volume of food they eat is just crazy ok and i rly cant picture how big a stomach sewei has. after that had math remedial from 3 to 330. then went with jo and jingqin to open up LT1, &then dno whr Jo disappeared to, so i was with jq all the way. talked abt many things, it seems like we rly think alike very much. thr's so many things in the world we cant change, no matter how much we dislike it. he rly reminded me of the Serenity Prayer, "Lord, give me the ability to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can, and the wisdom to know the difference". had RH day discussion in LT1 with the coords. thr were many familiar faces, ningyi and jaslin joined our team (jq, wee & me), while yimin and charlotte joined xueqiang, tiehong & chernyi i think (: im rly looking forward to RH! ive alr got my ethnic costume :B tmrw will be going with wee and ningyi to littleindia to buy their ethnic clothes and i'll search for vouchers for the prize.
i hope i'll have many more such days where i get to spend one-to-one time with friends (: there are some special pple in my life which i rly want/need to spend time with. when i waved to wenyi, jesslyn & meijie after schl today, i felt like i missed them alot. i think i live such a different life now (sec3&4) compared to my Sec1&2 days. sometimes, i wonder if i've not been picked as cca ldr, what wld i be doing now? i owe alot to my position. its this position my seniors gave me which led to many other ldrship opportunities in schl, & this is when everythg seems to take flight; you become so busy you lose yourself & friends. that was my Sec3 july to Sec4 march period. everythg was so busy and in a blur, a flurry of events strung tgt back to back that you cant even get a grip on your own life. still, you give yourself tirelessly to the service of others, even at the expense of your studies. it is can be counted as selflessness at times, but its also foolishness too. i hv missed out so much, and i hv so much to catch up with.
