post-yep meeting..
(such loud cats' cries downstairs now)..
Phew, stopped finally... mm..
"Post-yep meeting" sounds so..workaholic.. Juz a short update bah.. (inspired by lois' post.. heh... )
The post juz ran through my head, the way I usually typed in the past.. dunno why they juz can't really come out here.... (eeks sounds almost like constipation)
(random thoughts again.......... mm........ we seem poles apart.:/ One enjoys his Xin Jing Ca Gu Shi immensely.. (good in a way.. to see such excitment and passion) With i-dunno-who.. while, perhaps im biased, jacky chan's brand of humour doesnt realli make me laugh very much..
I was equally passionate abt Les Choristes...... go watch if u havent!!! heh........... worth the money...... such a performance..
I didn't mention that i wld be watching Mamamia with he-doesnt-know-who too........ heh...
It's quite strange, i thought while travelling in bus, that in such situations we shld be unduly conscious of (stark) differences.... when in ordinary situations.. Do I care if such as, Ag enjoys policeman shows far more than more abstract shows? Would barely even notice.............. there're much more things that bind people together besides... these... exterior interests,.. perhaps.. Perhaps it's.... a natural clicking of frequencies.. certain similarities in personalities?.......... Does it even matter the vast differences in outlooks in life? perhaps not even these.. I can barely think of anyone who has that similar an outlook as i have.. if i were juz to.. turn around here and look now..
Perhaps similarities should outweigh differences? and each similarity/difference is given a different weight in the equation, according to individual preferences? eeeeks........ im bringing finance into here.. (horror) heh..
Feels nice, though... to be able to share again after such a long time.... even if... at the same time right now (gosh, so late)... we're still......... chatting on msn... erhem.
Sometimes, though, differences complement one another.... Like, my computer/laptop and bicycle get repaired.. and the other's ermmm barely readable essays get edited..... heh.. (sorry)
But i've digressed very far...
Well, wasnt in a particularly good mood at all while on the way to the yep meeting, was feeling mm rather empty and bored... meetings n meetings.. are all like work to mi....
Such activities (yep) require u to get outta your comfort zone, i wld say.. to stop thinking of ur own leisure.... (like, u're not planning to be...... watching some skies, lost in some wilderness somewhere) But to focus on the welfare and lives of others..... Along the way as the meeting went on........ gradually felt again v privileged to be there.. to be able to.. put my own concerns away and focus on greater things..
The way we always wanted to as kids, i spose.. to wanna "change the world" when we grow up...
here's the chance, i spose.. Idealistic as it might sound...... was suddenly envisioned to wanna do our best to ensure that we make a lasting impact on their lives..... As Tammy said (when i expressed my concerns that the benefits of introducing internet to the kids sounds dubious. she went on yun nan yep before.) ... she wld send the kids postcards of diff countries such that they are aware of a much bigger world outside of their own lil town............ Such that perhaps, they dare to dream big...... and hang on to their hopes throughout life...
n we'll help them along the way.. :P (even after the trip..)
Always dreamt of teaching English or something in some small African town for a few years, anyway (I heard you need 17 jabs to get yourself immune to possible diseases if you wanna go Africa) ... like Waiyaki... woah, then all the parents and kids will go "Teacher! Teacher!" when you walk thru the village.. (heh.. of cos the latter is not the sole purpose)
We're making plans to extend the stay n go backpacking ourselves in Kunming and Lijiang, before going down to Bangkok.... (hey, junkette is the best person to ask abt this...heh.......... wat cheap, good places to visit if not during the weekend ah??.........if we're there for 2 days 1 night?..) And the bunch of 5-8 gals expressed concern over safety etc........ Yah, of course.... gals always do that.. (remem eu going on abt how 2 gals going Africa is dangerous.. mmm ya la.... makes sense lor.*shrugs. got many other places wat!:P) But then........ not that bad bah............ even 3-4 pple shd be enuff to wanna ensure safety liao?..
(Book seat"s" in dreamland? yawnz....... i dun think i believe anymore.)
mm yah.. so wld be gone most of Dec from 1st to 24th .. possibly.. if no tics left, then 25th... arrrggghhhh what happens to carolling and PG performances..
oh well....
there's another pair going to trek around China till they "are not coming back anymore" i.e. 4th Jan. sounds v tempting too.. since it's almost like.. a grad tour or something.....................
But then, mmm............. I dunno...
Gone for so long? wld be missing pple..
woah........ pple wld be starting sch liao... n i wld be........ dunno going where... : /
So shld treasure time now?..
Yawnz.. time to go dreamland too......... wld possibly be staying over at PGP tmw...........
Oyasuminasai (i still remem! gotta start going bac to Jap classes) .. gd day tmw, all =)..
God bless...
(i suddenly remember that i have new audience......heh..)
(Need motivation to go sch and attend classes ... losing fire in the marathon..... Inspire me again..give me meaning.. )
(My instinct tells me that i have uninvited visitors.. private musings shld be kept from public view. sigh might be too late, now.)
