one of my hons year classmates asked to defer his hons year by one year becos his father's in critical condition now. he will have to start all over again, come July 2004

would you have done the same thing? or chosen to fight on with your studies and end this semester haphazardly?

sobered and saddened by this piece of news. what a way of being brought down to earth from our complacency and be harshly reminded that we aren't in control, are mere puppets in the hands of Someone Larger (God?)

i sang karaoke on thurs and went to help out at metta cattery on fri (deepavali)..probably not the wisest decision, since i'm so far behind in my readings (i'm sick and stressed and guilty over the fact that my classmates have highlighted their readings all over the place but i haven't. and don't intend to do so in the short run)

heck, life's short

just to note these down in case i did badly for my modules at the end of the semester and lost focus on why i have strayed so in the first place

it's so easy to make a difference actually. magic and mango, the two dogs at metta cattery, were besides themselves, jumping up and down restlessly and wagging their tails rigorously when they saw us arriving

we sad self-absorbed singaporeans always lament how life is tough and sucky and how it's difficult to care about anything else beyond our stressful little world

i say: it's easy to distribute your love. and you don't have to be spent after you do it. and in this case, you feel you do get back something from the animals and you're thrilled by this reciprocration of affections

yesterday's survivor episode was phenomenal! finally, something worth gluing my eyes to the tv screen for! really got high as i watched the events unfold

ahhh, my miserable pathetic life, staying at home to watch tv on friday nights instead of going out to paint the streets...but i like!
