the term break is here :)

i was not dying for it to come cos this semester has been quite manageable so far. erhh...i think i rather have school leh. hehe. at least time will be more constructively used and i get to meet up with my friends :p (and see 'him' ard too!) in fact...i enjoy learning now! probably becos jc was sooo bad that nothing can be worse :/ shan't dig up the bad memories.

plans for the short break? as usual, will be catching up with my readings and preparing for my science module test the week following the break. The module is called "Colour and Vision"...dealing with how we perceive colour, workings of the eyes and on a biological level, DNA and proteins thgies. quite interesting... cos i am starting to make some sense out of it. finally. muahahaha.

i feel deaf without music.
i feel death without music.

it will be a dream come true to go in the music industry in the future :) looonnnngggg gone are the silly dreams of becoming a singer. muahaha. now i want to be a producer...songwriter...anyone who creates music! :D couple it up with another dream of opening a cafe...let it be a music cafe then! heehee. a place where musical passions meet over a cuppa of coffee and good food. oh what about putting films and animals into the picture as well? wah...hmm.

sounds rather airy-fairy and absurb...but nothing is impossible in this world right! -patpat-

we'll see...a few years down the road. anybody care to join me?? grin :)

i really miss my film art module. sigh.

it opened me to another world...a beautiful world of expression that i want to explore forever and ever!

if only i am given a chance...

my treasured memories of the module come in the form of notes and tutorials, pages of scribbling during lectures...soundtracks of the films we watched...

of course not forgetting the short film "Falls of Eden" which my friends and i did for our term assignment! we decided to try out something new rather than settle for an individual essay. had absolutely no experience with video cameras...it actually took us about 1 hour to figure out how to replay what we have filmed the first time -doink- all the late nights at shirley's hostel room...arguments that arose from 'i-don't-know-what-to-dos' and fatigue...peili's gastric pain...COUNTLESS hours of editing -pukes blood all over- (the lab technician still remembers me up till now :p)

it was just fantastic...more than words can express!! an experience i would gladly relive again and again...

P.S to Peili, Sikpeng and Shirley who stuck through all these together: shall we make another film? hehe -hugs- :)

was flipping through the newpapers this morning when i saw the anguished faces of the relatives of the victims of the chicago stampede. "tell my mum i love her" said one man before he died. it was damn painful to read this man. sigh.

why do humans develop feelings? for one another...for everything that has been with us for a long time. Why cant we be just selfish brutes living our own lives...in our own ways..in our own caves?

Why must we be made to suffer the excrutiating pain of losing someone we love..?

all we have left is the journal of memories...of the love we gave and received, the smiles of happy times, the tears through difficult periods...the delicate details of joy and hurt..moments when it seemed nothing mattered and we were just grateful to be alive and together.

memories that will make you cry and pine for the past...constantly making fresh wounds beneath the scars you tried so hard to hide...

it's ironic that while love makes life worth living...it really hits where it hurts most.

Sometimes...it just seems so difficult being human.

i always enjoy the walk through the park to and fro school.

the cricket calls...rustling of the leaves...chirping birds...trees glowing in the sunshine...shimmering dew on the grass...playing peek-a-boo with my little squirrel friends :)

it's berry season again! i never fail to squash those cute red little juicies along the way. grin.

nice to feel like Pocahontas...the quiet moments i spend with Nature everyday.
