Books

I've finished A Midsummer Night's Dream already. Now, I'm heading to Macbeth.
Supplicanti parce, Deus.

PS: I think I should cut out Holy Bible and Koran first. Those are not books in my definition. Those are some sort of reference. Anyway, I hope I could read them both before I die... Hmmm...

Of Bronte and Shakespeare

I've finished Jane Eyre this evening. The ending is rather bland but I'd have to give allowance to that. It was classics, people. However, I loved the falling action. SUPER BITTER AND TRAGIC where Jane's Master became crippled and stuffs. It was nice.

Now, I am going to read A Midsummer Night's Dream. I hope I can understand them. I'm positive.

7th April 2011

This, I should say is indeed a final gathering to me, with my gang. We went for ice skating, which was really enjoyable. But the part I loved most was window shopping with Chew. It was really nice. I can't describe them but all I can say, it was fun. As all these while, Chew wasn't sticking to us as much because she is busy with work.

Even myself, I considered this the second outing, after I've changed - from the big spender to be the more practical person. 23rd March was the first outing with them and no more news from them. Pardon me when I say that. I didn't mean they didn't inform me. They did. But I just rejected all their outings since then, and they couldn't really accept the fact that I've changed. They didn't understand, either. Now not that I could care of.

I've happily deactivated my Facebook account due to a major reason which in fact I am not afraid of letting everyone to know: I don't wanna feel bad for skipping any of their so-called gatherings anymore. I just have had enough of nonsensical rhetoric remarks on every single excuse I gave. Enough said: I am bored of it. They are bored of it too. So, I've decided to put an end for this already. No Facebook simply means a better life for me.

I honestly think, had I joined the "other half" more often, (that's what I would call them, now that I know I was not alone thinking about this same issue, which quite balanced the group) I doubt I would turn out as who I am here. I even doubt if that was my true self. I have regretted doing a few things which are irreversible in life. Let's not just add another one in the list.

And to end, I also honestly think I suit my "other half" more. That is where I genuinely belong. The "understanding half".

Supplicanti parce, Deus.

PS: I am not imposing the "other half" as "not understanding half", please do not misjudge my point of view.
PPS: I've updated my "Things to do Before I Die" list. Be sure to check it out.

Cardiac arrest

I nearly died today, folks. I'M DEAD SERIOUS! This evening I called TARC to check on my hostel application and the lady told me that there is no such record of application with my name and the male residential area is already fully booked.

I went on to Plan E (E for emergency) by thinking of all sorts of things, what to buy, where to stay next (as I have saved 2 numbers in my phone) and Dad called me just in time. He could hear from my tone, although I was trying my best to stay calm. He knew I was panicked for something. So I went on discussing with him the things to buy and to bring etc.

Moments later, a buzz on my mobile. TARC, again.
"Hello, may I speak to - (my name) please?"
Speaking.
"This is Miss - here. Your hostel application is actually approved already," I swear I could hear her sheepish tone through the phone and I bet she was smiling rather sheepishly that particular moment as well. From the way she speaks, I am quite certain she is at her 20's. A small difference with me, I am certain.
OK, so meaning to say, I DO have a place to stay already, is it?
"Yes. My colleague was cross-checking on the name lists of those KIV ones, that is why we couldn't find your name in at first," or something of that sort, she was saying. I couldn't remember as much.
OK, so may I check in on the 2nd May?
... (and the conversation went on and she gave me the Hostel Dept number to ask further questions, as it is beyond their (Student Affair Dept's) knowledge)

AMEN! GOOD LORD! I nearly collapsed when I first heard the news, now that she said it's been approved. I am very much more relieved.
Supplicanti parce, Deus.

How are you?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry for being 'away' these few days, as I have nothing to write about. My latest progress in guitar is Capricho Arabe. I am learning this piece by myself. I didn't really dare to ask my teacher to teach me yet. The Sounds of Bells which I played few weeks ago was indeed a motivation for me. This piece, I reckon is also of Grade 7.

Other than that business, my college payments have been cleared. My choral speaking team, I've done my part. So, winning or losing is no longer anything of my concern now. My debate team, they lost on the quarter final. Too bad. I could somehow see it already, with their current strength. I just kept my mouth shut.

Last night, I went out with my friends whom I have not seen for years. Planned to go to Next Online Cafe but ended up in Beevi instead. But never mind, it was good. Although I've forgotten 2 of them and they still remembered me. It was actually impromptu. I was ACTUALLY asking ONE out only, but he went call the other 2 out. It ended well, though. They were nice people, or so that I can see.

Today, woke up half hour later than expected. I think it was because of my evening walk yesterday. It was a tiresome walk and I witnessed a post-accident. I only knew the story from an old man that a car driving too fast and ended down in the valley. One motorcyclist was slightly injured while another one was rushed to hospital. I was wondering why on earth were they looking at the car in the valley for so long. Really typical of them. Forget it.

I doubt if there is anything else for the moment.
