AB is still killing me. i cant move on and study for Cs101 YET.
managed to wake up early for 102 tutorial today!! came home and ate lunch. and then so far ive cleared one newspaper article. one more journal left!! and i cant move on! im getting loads of rubbish! from a database. the most time consuming thing is fishing out an appropriate journal article and then you also have to wait a few seconds for the computer to load each time. it's just a good thing connection speed is really fast now.
and yet i still think im somehow lagging a few miliseconds behind. i think things could still afford to go a little faster.
i do not wana spend the whole afternoon on this!! i wanna study cs 101. and RELAX tonight! argh.
ANYWAE,
i was browsing through my '70 new messgaes' hotmail account which i never cleared. and i finally opened my dad's email which is entitled 'insight of the day', while looking up his email add for justina. i didnt open it for a very long time because i thought it was one of those daily devotionals kinda thing. when i saw his email add, i remembered, and imagine him emailing his sunday school kids. i think he does.
And the message wasnt what i thought it was.
it was actually a quote he forwarded to me, :
"Great dancers are not great because of their
> technique; they are great
> because of their passion."
>
> Martha Graham
> 1894-1991, Dancer, Teacher and Choreographer
AWWwwwww... how sweet and nice of him to do that!!
and the mail was sent all the way dated 11 july 2005
but i think there's some mistake. it cant be that long ago. maybe it was this year. his email settings never set properly i think.
so if it was sent during july this year, i cannot think when, because we were all in Darwin on 11 july this year!
But, it dawned on me that, sigh.. its so nice he cared to send me this little quote. when i was feeling like shit for my ballet exams. haha. still remembered i cried in the car on national day holiday :P when my sis went off to her friend's house and my mum went for exercise class.
Actually he did do a lot to help me for my ballet exams. he contacted SPGG to ask if can rent or book their dance studio in the afternoons and when that option kinda failed, he went to check the new Cc, zhenghua CC's rental for dance room rates so i could practise at other times and not miss my lectures over ballet class. but i just hecked all these things and went on as per normal and skipped lectures for ballet. And when he ask me about my ballet i wouldn't say much. would just say- ok la!
My dad just does things in small little ways. and for that im thankful.
and today is his birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!
