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

i'm back! :D
recently just handed over. actually i wanted to blog on handover day 1stJuly, but i couldnt find a nice skin for this new blog.
i distinctly rmb us taking over on 24July, it was a day that changed my life forever. from 24/7/07 to 1/7/08, it has been a mad rollercoaster, a whirl of events, & a whole chunk of saikang too. but the tasks we had to do were made much more fun with our squadmates. most of the times we were so busy with our own things we hardly enjoyed the process. cca, trainings, comps, ugcamp.. i'll nv forget all these. its these bits & pieces that make up the whole memory. sometimes i get flashbacks on all these cca moments & i feel happy, contented. and its not just my squad that im talking abt, its actually more of the juniors. they are the ones who make me laugh, worry, tear my hair out and cry. the sec4s were all extremely touched on the last two days of cca (: i dont know if we were bad juniors, or perhaps our juniors are super nice this year. well anyway, im rly glad i made the right choice in joining sjab. though its tough, kns, bitchy, irritating, i know i'll always rmb it for what it is, the spirit. it cannot, and will not, be defined by others.
oh yes. i dont like people who are irresponsible, who likes them? i felt no guilt when scolding her on msn, she rly deserved it. i dont understd how someone can plan an event and last min (the NIGHT before) tell people you cant turn up. she spoke as if she dont rly care if it screws, like she wont be thr to see it screw up anyway. well, good thing it didnt. it is not surprising either, given the slipshod proposal.
i realised that im quite a petty person. i cant stand people opening their mouths when they eat, or making sounds when they eat. i rly dont enjoy hearing all the noises pple's teeth make chewing their food. i also cant stand people borrowing money and forgetting to return. forgive me, but i dont wna seem very ji1 jiao4 chasing after a dollar or two, but doesnt that reflect rly badly on yourself? that's why i always announce to whoever that i owe him/her money so i will quickly return it asap. i dont understd why pple shun from returning a dollar or two :/ even if its 20cents i'll make sure its all paid back. i also cant stand people who dont say excuse me or sorry. like if you bump on someone, although very obviously accidentally (eg on the bus), you still owe a "sorry" alright? dont give a that-was-not-intentional-so-i-dont-have-to-say-sorry face, accidents are not an excuse. isnt it like a hitandrun case? even if you knock someone down accidentally, you still got to say sorry what, you cant just run away!<>:( i also cant stand fidgeting, like shaking your leg or twiddling toes. its just, please, stop it.
someone's sure to say that they cant stand petty people. hm.
toodles,
the best is yet to be.
