dialogue of one
Aug. 3rd, 2011 04:30 amThere has been plenty of doing, less of thinking during the last few weeks of vacation. Spasms of social activity: our last-gasp attempts at salvaging as many fond memories as possible. In the span of about two weeks, I have watched... three movies, with a fourth coming up soon. I have karaoke-d twice, with a possible third rolling around the corner. I have gone shopping with my family more times as compared to the past half year. Very plebeian methods of whiling away time, yes, but familiar is unassuming, and unassuming is comforting. Having said that, I am genuinely anticipating the start of the new school term. Given my ill discipline, structure and direction would do me some good. Modules look interesting as well. This semester will be the difference!

Jul. 23rd, 2011 02:03 amThe past fortnight has been high, high, into the sky. Looking back, I wonder where I mustered all my energy from. Union Camp 2011 passed by in a delirious blur of cheers, laughter, and games. Surviving on two to three hours' of sleep per day was no joke. But overall, it was a good experience. Got to know many new people, talking crap, stirring shit, the frivolous banalities that are condoned because it is a camp. The process of thawing friendships never fails to be interesting as well, as people chip away at the distance with exaggerated expressions, bad jokes, and general niceness. When in doubt, just spam questions!! HAHAHA. I like getting to know someone from scratch, the synching of wavelengths: trying to figure out their nuances, their style of humour, their ways of thinking about the world. Time will tell whether things will last anyway.
Along the way, Sarah and I rushed from camp to soccer and back again on different days. Saturday was scurrying to dance class with my sister, after a full thirteen hours' of sleep. Sunday was meeting up with I:)EAS after a unbelievably long time. Monday was soccer again. Tuesday was a breather that gave much-needed solace. Wednesday was soccer and muay thai. Thursday was matriculation fair day, which was basically being chummy to everybody, because you wanted time to pass as quickly as possible. Today was family time and soccer, tomorrow will be Lax, Sunday will be Imba. Taking it one day at a time. Life is good. What more can I ask for?

Effortless. This is the song you would want to listen to (not blast, but let the notes trickle into your ears like treacle) as you roll down mossy hills, as blue, green, and white envelop you in a genial blur of colours. Yikes, I tend to stuff too many words in every sentence. But close your eyes, and you would understand. The telling cricket calls, the crunch of wrinkled leaves underfoot, the quizzical bird coos. Next year, maybe all of this. Or less, but more than present anyway.
