8 oct, Wednesday: crazy weather fluctuations
Today has been boring. Went to starbucks since early afternoon as we don’t have Wednesday afternoon classes. Wanted to study and do homework but was so sleepy and unproductive until much later in the evening….the only interesting changes were that meixiu came to say hi and tiffany was there for a coffee. I actually didn’t realize she came in and was sitting at the table diagonally across mine.
My bf nagged at me about my expenditure at starbucks, asking me to also put into an action plan to spend less which means saving more. Ok, so now I will only go starbucks on the weekends or when I have the whole day/large majority of the day free and will only buy 1 drink there each time. And I will eat the school food although I always think it don’t really taste that nice.
As much as I really miss home, I am glad that I am the kind of person that wakes up with new energy every morning with new positiveness that helps me get over unhappy stuff. The jinhui that many of my friends know is a forgetful Jinhui at times and sometimes I think that this is a good thing. Well, during those reflections or the past kinda conversations that I have with my NPCC/ secondary school friends, there are many times when they said “Don’t you remember….”, “you were the one…”, “That time you…” but many of the times I don’t remember.
My English is horrible by any kind of standard and I used to go for General Paper(GP) tuition when I was in Junior college. Well, the GP back then was just made of 2 components, a essay and a comprehension. Well, I certainly needed help on the essay as it the argumentative essay kind. I really like going to tuition as I think the tutor was really nice and a fun guy who have been travelling around for some time before coming to teach us and he would sometimes talk about his cat, his experiences travelling in India and several other places in the world. There were only a few students in class and sometimes we will try to gang up and force an opinion of him on him. Sometimes it would be things like he likes to live in denial etc.
There was once, there was this conversation about the lethargy of time, like how a old post card or a photo that has turned yellow can bring back a unique, personal, sentimental feeling to it as compared to a perfectly preserved original photo in its original rich color. I certainly agree with him in terms of the beauty of time being forgotten. I think it ain’t so nice to remember every single detail in life, good and bad, happy and sad, right, wrong, neither right nor wrong because that’s not the way the brain works. Things of the past always brings back found memories, but that also depends on whether you are the kind that tend to remember the happier of the sadder stuff.
Experiences and the memories from these experiences make a person unique. Here I am in a foreign land and am grateful for all the fond memories that has been perfected by the “blur” of time that keeps me company whenever I miss the people and things back home.
