万卷书

Introducing my loot of notes accumulated from 4 + 2 years of tertiary education. Look how high they stack. And these are not all, excluding tutorials and another mountain of textbooks.. I wonder how my brains had digested those information. As I flipped through the complex engineering maths functions last night, they gave my head a spin and stared back totally unfamiliar and without sense to me. I feel like one with amnesia... They are things once held so dear (can't live without them!), but now so foreign.. Will I ever recall them again? Will I even ever need them again?

To throw or not to throw?

...And remember those times when we were allowed to bring in notes on A4 sized papers for exams? I found 2 sheets of my treasured notes... can't bear to toss them out even though they too, don't seem intelligible. They ended up getting tucked into the stack and hidden back to the top of the shelves. I am such a sucker for sentiments I cannot even remember. But maybe, just maybe, they will again make sense one day...

Did an acorn drop?

I wonder if an acorn dropped on his head to bring something to mind after a whole week of silence for I was suddenly thought of past Saturday midnight, after the coaches had turned into pumpkins.. He "wanted to drop a note to say hi", and to tell that he will be absent again today. I know nuts what a regatta is - it sounded like some fancy Italian or French food to me, but the text spoke of being out at sea and races... * shrug *

I do like the accountability though... it's nice to wake up to that buzz in any case...

Hi, Hi, Hi, Beautiful Sunday

Almost missed this text because it was nestled among some other urgent work-related sms-es & missed call notices that came in just when I was rushing out for church... and more so, because it was totally unexpected. But it made my day.

My eyes almost popped, and I irrationally placed myself on cloud nine right after reading line one... whoa! Surprise of surprises! How often does anyone even think of me? I hope the sender woke up from some sweet dreams and not from some nightmares though... haha..

Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned....

*feeling like Christine Da'ae*

Leading life too tough...

The Rainbow Trimming

Finally found all the log-in information required to access the results today. Haven't been too optimistic and was in some kind of denial for the past period, so it was a pleasant surprise to be found cleared of all the papers I sat for.

Did not score the best grades, and could have done better if I had been in a better condition, I guess, but thankful nonetheless.

The last year had been tough. 2/3 of the fellow part-timers I used to hang out with are repeating the year. Well, that may not be a bad idea, considering that they have got a second chance to log a better score. But I'm grateful for being spared the pro-longed agony of having to overwork the adrenaline pump for that chance. Should keep excitement level down with age...

So now, it is only to sweat over that one paper i absented myself from.. that itself is going to be a test of discipline for the next 8 months since there will not be anymore paid scheduled classes...

Thanks to all the prayer support and encouraging words through those trying moments. They were colour lacings like rainbows over the dark and gloomy clouds. Do continue to keep me in prayers, friends!

Differences

Been wanting to catch Disney movie "Up", and finally did so in the evening before it gets pulled off the big screen. My tears welled in between the scenes as I feel with Carl. And when I asked mom how she finds it, she said the characters are cute and the show was funny.... I think she's probably refering to Russell.

Focus differences there, I guess... even the publicity picture had that discord...

Operating Mode: 不知"最怕"

Spotted on Today's free publication, <我報>:

人有思想, 卻最怕胡思亂想.

人有朋友, 卻最怕豬朋狗友.

人有緣分, 卻最怕有緣無分.

人有理想, 卻最怕不理也不想.

uncannily familiar... hmm...

uh-oh! think I am in the "不理也不想" mode...
