welcome august.
in a twinkle of the eye very fast paced time, a lot of time has passed and more than half a year has gone.
and to do a brief reflection, of how this year has been so far has been lingering on my thoughts for abt two months. and now is a very timely time to do it because
1. we are already in the mth of august! means 2/3s of the year has gone!
2. school will be starting in a week's time
partly why im thinking so much now to realise we're in the middle of a span of 365 days this annum, is cos of the lack of things to do. mainly school activities which used to zapp away all my life time and a little bit less of energy. the life i had been living prior to this supperr loong! break i'd been waiting for the whole of last year.and yea. i miss jc. i miss school. it will never be the same again. all those memories have to be packed away to make space for new ones to come- the uni life.and w tt follows sinister thoughts in my head :(
this reminiscing on old times is a little late to come,noting that we're already slightly more than half gone in this year. but it seems to be this way, because as im standing at the brink /threshold of a whole new educational experience (big deal), we as humans wld tend to run back to old familiar thots. and try to remember the scents along with the memory.
haha but that said and emotional stuff packed away.
let me look back at how i've spent this lovely long break. i never did anything mass significant. but i realised i actually accomplished all, save for one, of the things i set in my heart to do the whole of last year.
although i've told no one, the list below won't surprise also la
*refers back to diary bks*(the following info springs from deep in my heart. it is what i'd call 'deep heart, hardcore stuff') they look like just normal things to do. but this was part pleading w the Lord kinda writing. ps:remember the uncertainty and crapshit at tt time.
the list. taken, 26 september 05
-wanna go university.study psychology,lit,geog (thai?)
-wanna dance ballet A1&A2
-do aerobics (instructor course?!) and pilates + seasports +diving,nature trekking
-relief teaching
-go chiangmai. check out ballet there
-hmmm..africa?kenya.Nairobi.Got geog casestudies!
-teach ballet? (then ur other dreams how?)
-learn cooking&culinary skills
-get a pet
now for the commentary:
well yea, thank God, i do have a place in some uni now. although YES. plans change. no more thai. infact i was thinking abt it again when i was walking to swee's house. but. well. university. is university!!
advanced one.a.k.a my ballet A levels. got my exam date today. 8 september. yes. i am doing what seems like ballet now. but this may just turn out to be a nightmare.hurhur.
can dino dance be counted as the aerobics stint? and forget the instructor part ok. don't laugh! i am too fat now to do that kinda stuff. september last yr was a MUCH thinner girl. woopsie! pilates class was covered in dino dance.
ahh..seasports. that's the one which got left on the shelf. ps, does wakeboarding count? the cancellating cos i did it only once :Pp
the africa thing. hmm. that one is one of those thoughts which come to me in holy n more fervent spiritual seasons.
teach ballet. yea. helping at tampines early part of the year, and going to dance on us too plus once at msm also. i feel horrible as a teacher. but nonetheless, yea! i did try my hand at teaching already. how i feel abt it and what i wanan do w tt experience. will be on hold. kiv. or never 'v' again. anything
cooking ah. this wasn't a very big dream la. hehe. but i've since learnt how to use and operate a stove fearlessly. :D
the pet thing. oh yea. another thing i forgot. by now my hamster, reepeeecheep should be 7 mths old. but hmm. sorry. before i went to darwin,i told my sis my hammie to be wasn't born yet. and was to be born at a pet shop while i was away. so i cld buy it some 4 wks later( meaning 2 wks ago). but i guess. my hammie might come maybe a few batches of babies later still :X not yet conceived.
that's about.
