it is no longer about apathy.. rather, it's the opposite

Last week, I spent a good amount of time with Gera because she's leaving in 8 weeks? I am so proud ot say that we've started on our very healthy living regime of playing badminton, sun tanning, running, hitting the gym, eating yoghurt, having salad, toast and eggs!!! YEAH!
For 2 consecutive days i travelled down to the other side of Singapore for the sake of my seemingly bright future. First it was NUS. Well, praise God that the interview went really well, minus the fact that I alighted at the wrong stop, the lift to the Dean's Office broke down, the air con spoiled, and there was a black out. For someone who read Death Note manga online till the eleventh hour whereby she started searching for her certificates, I must say I was rather placid. People around me seems to be alleviating my confusion. During the interview, the 2 History lecturers commented that I should be doing English Lit instead of Psychology. NONONONO.
"you know what? Turned out that i'm not as excited as i thought i would be."
"I am quite certain that ADM is out of the question!"
EAT YOUR WORDS WILD BOAR!!!!!! So much for being anthipathic about the course.
You know how these art people have absolutley no sense of punctuality,(of course i'm talking about stereotypes) well, i joined their club and turned up 40 mins FASHIONABLY LATE on Saturday. Hearing the professors talk about the various majors, foundation years, projects and work stress forced my mouth to crack into a smile. It does sound alluring now. For the past few months, some people have found out that I am in the midst of a project. Attending the talk during the weekend opened my eyes to how much more development I can do to my craft and the infinite things I have and can learn!! Well, I was practically close to jumping in excitement!
A friend once shared with me how she finds it romantic to be sitting in the library surrounded by thick books which awaits to be read!!!! While she talked about romance, i found myself falling in love with their art studios and the sort of work that would scream coffee!!!!!!
Imagine my blood shot eyes.
:)
My nights have been spent cogitating about my future. Days like these, I feel like a child once again whereby i find myself being intrigued by everything, the process of learning is exciting and stimulating, the idea of knowing how, what, why, when things happen makes me want to burst in joy that how wonderfully my God has crafted me. How each one of us are given that ability to think, to make decisions, and not just mere objects that are made to go through the motions! So in my silly excitement, I started counting my years and suddenly i think life is so short!!! There's so many things to do!!!
Dear wrote me a note and gave me lots of green apples which brought me much comfort. On the note, it opened with
"If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives genrously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind."-James 1:5-6
I agree. Maybe the answered has already been revealed but i am not believing but doubting.
The brilliancy of technology has allowed me to chat with friends from KC, SR, S&P and Aus. So friends have been very honest in what they see me doing in the future-some of the answers are rather horrifying, some amusing, and some made me grin. WAHAHAH. Just to share with you some of the answers
1) Lit/Art teacher
2) Someone who will make a difference in the arts scene
3) Curator
4) Marketing and Communications manager
5) Artist
6) Art therapist
7) Involved in the theatre scene
8) Film maker
Yes, i obviously have this tenacity to seek answers and allow myself to be even more confused!!
Spent almost an entire day out and watched DARK MATTER. It was disappointing. But i seriously thought the visual effects and the cinemotography was good. The disappointment was the plot, it somehow paralleled to what we already face in this world-the fight to get into a good university, receiving prizes, recognition, to be THE ONE who comes up with this earth breaking theory, and as human thrives, run the distance, the rat race, they end up angry, disappointed, then with all that suppressed emotions, when it eventually explodes, they take it out on people whom they thought caused them to be that way when really, the problem is the lack of identity, purpose and direction. TRILOGY CAMP! :)
:::Just for laughs:::
I have a friend who wanted to pay for plain porridge with his credit card!!! How ridiculous man.
I'm spending the day with Rebecca, Faith and Dazz tomorrow. Cycling once again and i pray that i will not fly off my bike. All of us have such different personalities but yet, we share a common purpose. YEAH!
