GREENPASTURES_______&STILLWATERS
Monday, August 27, 2007
what happens if you used to be close to a family member but realised the time she grew away from the family.. turned quite into a different person from whom you used to know. and you cant really tell her what's right or what's wrong because her heart belongs to another person whom she seeks support and accountability to already. The family she was once in is no longer a group of people that matter to her as much already..
I believe what Uncle Kiat says.. that their plans to get married is too early. Most 'perfect matches' in university ended up in splits after four to five years.. they say. Maybe it's because she had been in some relationships from a young age, so her experience in love may be more than others and i am in no perspective to comment because i haven't been in any before.. But I dont really know him yet and i really dont know how to feel about this union. Probably, the dinners and movie we went with him are her were efforts of her to make us feel comfortable with this whole thing and maybe, it was also because i was too young and unsure of my future that made me unable to register the fact to feel good about it. The speed is still quite uncomfortable.
School tomorrow yay.

I'm so proud of myself..
Shuttling in between school and lp and my tuition classes made me feel strong.. even though its like energy rush coming in shocks.. and they don't feel good.. i know that this growing up process will somehow arrive. Its just a matter of time, and it came just a bit early for me. Instead of looking at friends who can study in peace without having other issues to take care of, minding my own things would be more helpful.. like if i never leave the shore and be on myself, i may never get to see how far i've come..
Adding a little side note after reading terrence toh's post on 'settled unsettled', the entry tells about being in a state of conflict and controversy. When you're stock still on something (an identity finally rooted at a certain age), the more you'll find yourself at incongruity with your new environment.. (well.. at least for me..:])
Thank God for the short break this weekend. Clara's prelims are over and i'm taking the two days to brush up what had been learned over the past four weeks. AND ALL BEFORE In Song 2007 on sunday! what a good wrap up for the week. yipeeay:)

some good quotes
-Aristotle
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
-Leonardo da Vinci
This coincides with my understanding of what's natural. (kudos to winnie) ..Behaving logically and spontaneously, is unblemished refinement- - that thereafter, made out to eliminate undesired response.
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.
- Plato
Hyun Woo taught me this today. The little sharp featured boy took up a marker and opted for hangman during break.. The subtle but clear rise in enthusiasm revealed the children's innocence and the behaviours most natural to them. There's a little chemistry in process today.
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
-Aristotle
Some friends come along the way, and they leave soon. Others stay by, though silently, impressions are deeply felt.
-Aristotle
Clubbing is not happiness.

pbf tomorrow.. i hope Ms Rose Gosling comes..
or someone with sense.. before i.. sigh
let go, let god...
give myself time, let myself go from the burdens
i like the feeling of early waking, before the morning turns bright. the slow walking and reflections..
then the long train ride to school and xiujun's company, comfortable and relaxing..
until when the day gets older. when i have to quicken my pace to work. the heart pace moves faster.. and thats bad..
i'm giving myself time..
and finally returning home.. the noise is clammering and thought distracting. sometimes i try to keep my cool.. others, i stay in my room.
share a little thing:
a couple of guys behind me during lecture were holding a private conversation about a particular girl having a face they cant imagine getting intimate with.. (oh, by the way, i was not eavesdropping, just that they were speaking so loud they didnt know..). The climax was when one of the guys said, (in a bit of dialect apparently) 'kan dao ta de lian (having seen her face), yao f**k dou f**k bu xia (too crude, cant bring myself to translate)'
i was too put off.. i moved my brain away from the opinion exchange.. then think, i probably 'upped' another level of information filtering...

check out this guy, Ernie Halter. I saw his performances at the Esplanade in the open air.. Everyone was serenaded by his romantic tunes and hip street music. And the more i listen to him, the more I agree that some songs can only be listened to once. haha. But the rest are certainly worth your time.
'Lisa' had a Spanish tang to it, the Spanish parts added more aesthetic effects to the elevation of her to Mona Lisa.
I especially loved 'Into This Life'. Go listen to it!:)
'Moving Along' had many minors that made it sound like a Maroon 5's song while 'Whisper' was a typical romantic love song (how i never leave these kind of songs.) and that reminded me of David Tao's simple love songs and the likes.
.......
'God, can You whisper in her ear
anywhere on the way to her car,
Before the wind blows too far away from my heart
oh, can you whisper in her ear
anytime while she's lying on her bed,
can you tell her everything that i said,
everything that i said.'
:)nice songs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SINGAPORE! :D
Forty two years old nation and counting. Here's to better economic growth, political stability, social peace and prosperity:)
I cant believe i have been through the Singapore lifestyle the past twenty years. Starting off as a primary school student, to secondary, college and finally university, my memories were built on blackboards and yellowing English worksheets to fan-blown classrooms with white boards, and finally walking around school campuses with air-conditioned lecture theaters where most learning soon take place. Of course, who can forget the patriots in us every morning when we recite the pledge and sing the anthem.
School
I wonder if I have paid for a degree course or a secondary school revision course. Maths 1 was ridiculous. Solving quadratic equations and curve sketching, i really hope the real thing comes quickly because Maths 1 and economics are abcs compared to what i did in college. I hope the teachers can give us something challenging.. currently my brain might really get used to slacking.
I worry. To be fair, the modules will be the replica of the college knowledge with a bit more side notes. But those are also common sense.
At the end of this year, I better come back and see this. It is so easy now.

LP's creative writing teaching is starting soon. I'm so excited. I'll start slow but steady for the foreign children, they are more hardworking than the local students. Checking English from their electronic dictionaries for translation.
On the other hand, Ruvenn and Clara are quite a handle recently. Clara's prelims are around the corner.. 20th this month, i'm not sure if she can excel to be honest because she's my first PSLE student and i'm giving in my best to do as much and as many questions as I can, but most of the time I feel she's clearer about the answering style than me. My understanding may be faster but I'm not very clear about the syllabus system. I just teach her the most out of my understanding about the content of science, and maths problem sums. I pray, I really pray all will be fine.
I had forgotten Ruvenn's class last night. Rosalind messaged me to ask why there was no class last night and i felt very guilty. I told the truth and I think her impression of me as a tutor deteriorated much. I am very disappointed in myself. I must do better.
Tomorrow's Clara and Ryan's chinese and science class. Gotta go mark and think what to do for lesson!
School
School has been fulfilling so far. I've got the subject guides' first four chapters printed by dad. I cant wait to start mugging. In fact, I've read pbf's chapter 2 already. It felt good. I don't know if I should be wary of the energy i have now because i fear my peak is too early. But then again, like XiuJun said, with fear I might just be doing the thing I 'taboo-ed' myself to do. I guess this has been the psychological effect that is happening the past one year. or else i wouldn't have still screw up the second time. Always try:) Never play God, never give up.
