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

im sunburnt once agn. this cycle keeps repeating, sunburnt->red->dark->peel->white->sunburnt. ahhh gotta break away from this horrible cycle ;[
anw, past few days were subj combi window shopping. pretty much decided on taking Math Econs Elit Cse. i swr anyone who was at the lit lecture got their minds totally blown away. it made me want to take H3 lit sooo much! but obviously i cant cos i hvnt hit the h3 mark ): CSE was vvv inspiring too. the amazing thing abt these two subjs is that i want to start reading all the books related to it & study it even before the yr starts (: i finally understd what it means that passion is the most impt thing when studying. im so excited for nxt yr :D
today was sports day. had a few casualties at the end but the starting was daaaaamn boring. i love casualtiesY its funny how we give nicknames for each of them hahah. & its funny when you see these pple ard in schl and ask "hey hows yr leg?" and you see them smile or say "better alr". FA is like the most satisfying thing i ever do. & FAC is going to purchase btr materials this yr, learnt quite a bit from the amb paramedics today. & we're also gna get an AED & good dummies. we're all gna enrol ourselves into Emergency First Aid & Higher First Aid during this hols & take the tests. but one thing i must complain is that the schl nv gives us any freaking recognition. "honoured to have GG" then what abt us? its nv abt us. we're always given the "hide yrself, i dont wna see so many of you" instructions. then when thrs smthg wrong they expect us to fly out of nowhr on magic carpets. if we are hidden, we cant possibly see whats going on right? either we're seen and we treat, or we're not seen and we dont treat. not to mention that we nv get a word of thanks. i feel very subjugated, thanks. perhaps somewhr in everyone's minds thr is this class system & im sure first aiders are right at the bottom.
i hv a very packed holiday at the moment now. rly hope to get some reading done tho. here's my busiest week:
22 Nov - 1 Dec ; Shanghai GPP
1 Dec - 4 Dec ; UB7!
4 Dec - 6 Dec ; sjab chalet
9 Dec - 11 Dec ; 4F chalet
i think i'll run out of clothes. & before i leave for shanghai i still must complete alot of UB7 game stuffs, like go for recces and all. changi is the starting point la ohmyyy. then thr's lots of meetings to go to. i still hv my confirmation lsns. sigh this is gna be a tiring hols, just like all my other hols. but this yr i have January to wind down (: thank God.
Monday 2F bbq!!! everyone puhlease comeeeeeeeee ;D
