hmmm i wonder what i should do next... look out for a (mini) triathlon? the full marathon in december? a shift to strength training?
just writing some stuff on my mind while taking a break from studying :)hmmm i haven't written a poem or story for some time... well maybe another time :)
so I've uninstalled all the games from my laptop because I got sick of killing some random shapes on the screen instead of doing other important stuff - stuff like studying, chatting online with friends... *real life* stuff.
but it got me thinking... i think we guys play games because there is not enough in real life, because a world inside the computer can be more interesting and fun.
real life... what makes real life real to you?
for me, it's the friendships, people, relationships that are so dear. it's interesting... i'm an introvert that likes to live inside my own mind, but i often find myself crying out for a close friend or two. i'm an introvert that doesn't like being alone :) i'm a telephonophobic that loves talking to close friends, i'm afraid of crowds and noises but i want to spend time with people.
yes, it's difficult to balance...
talking about the telephone, yeah i have a slight phobia of it - ask me why another time heh... and it's difficult because i love talking to close friends, and my net connection has been so bad that chatting online can be difficult. i can want to talk to someone badly, but take very very long, or never, to get down to calling the person.
yup, i'm kinda contradictory :)
ever felt like there's so much more you want to write but didn't have the words for it? goodnight...
sometimes friendships are like MSN convoes... you're forced to choose who to chat with because there's no way you can keep up meaningful conversations with ten people at the same time. and for the first time in a long time, you're feeling sad that you have to give up time for certain friends, to be with other friends.
you know what's nice? spending a whole day with a friend. even if it's spent running around school, nearly falling asleep listening to ipod music while waiting for your laptop to be upgraded, 'finding' the wrong room, tripping over my own foot and nearly crashing into the railing, what really makes a day magical is the friend you spend it with.
:)
i received a package from uchicago two days ago. one of the admin departments must have forgotten that i've turned their offer down, and sent me a big "welcome" package... i made me feel emotional - full of memories. this year has been a long, convulated, tear-stained route to where i am now...
i guess i should be afraid right now. tomorrow's the start of the the term of a school that emphasizes speaking, and working on projects with complete strangers... talking was never my forte. i know that my life would have been very, very different were i not a stutterer, but nevertheless here i am now, scarred by the embarrassments of the past, but still content with who i am.
but strangely i'm not that afraid; i'm looking forward to it, in fact... i don't really know why, yet :)
yesterday's convo was so full of LIFE. it was like a showcase of the talents of the senior students... if i took away anything from it, it would be that i want my life in uni to be full - i want to DO things, to experience things i've never done before, and to do stuff i've always wanted to do. i want to make great, lasting friendships that go beyond work and CCAs...
look at this life: studious prefect in primary school (i can't even remember what CCA i was in then), just plain weird in lower secondary (some of you may know the story), studious top-of-the-class chess club member in upper secondary... at least things got a lot better in JC - it was then that i found my closest friends and made the most of what talents if have :)
how will uni life be like? i don't know, and i'm leaving it to God. i'm really happy in fact. somehow i've been kind of simply drifting along when it comes to university stuff... things always work out for our good...
where will i be four years from now...? we'll see.
i want to be a loving person :)
so i was really, really sleepy during bible study tonight 'cos i only slept for 1 hour the night before. the sermon was really good and really deep, but it was some stuff pastor mentioned towards the end that got me moved:
that christians should be a people ruled by love.
if you take a step back and look into the heart of the matter you'll realise that all the petty quarrels and striving to be the best and trying to elevate oneself above another are so meaningless, and that there is so much more joy to be found in living in love. not that i've achieved it, but it's a truth i sometimes forget.
Dear God, mould me into a loving person :)
my heart has been saying goodbye alot...
one of the biggest dreams i've had has passed on, and i find my heart shielding itself from the memory of the dream whenever it crosses my mind. it's as if my heart can't take the pain of losing it.
and that's just dreams - friendships are even more precious, and it's these weeks, months, years, when friends fly off or change school or move on, and new cliques are formed.
sure, change is inevitable. i'm experiencing that, too: a whole new dream, new experiences, wonderful new groups of friends. but something has been striking me a lot these weeks: that the old matters so much more.
what is the point of making a new friend if i have to do it at the expense of an old one?
and when was the last time you felt lonely while spending time with friends you thought were close?
really, the world's moving fast enough already, we don't have to contribute more to its speed :)
yknow it's such a blessing to realise that it's perfectly ok to go through life at your own pace. it's too easy to look at the pace of the rest of the world and wonder why you're lagging behind, but really, there's no point trying to follow others when it's not 'you'...
went out with a dear friend today for the first time in months... it's so nice to meet an old friend and finding that you two can still click very well after all that time :) oh and the movie "Click" joined the list of movies that have made me cry... very touching movie.
ever sat down and told yourself that there is something deeply wrong with the world?
ever felt your mind brimming with too much, too compicated, too deep thoughts that you feel the only way to share what you feel is by literally connecting your mind with someone else?
and deeper than all this lies the paradox: there is so much depth inside that cannot be expressed, that causes so much turbulence and turmoil, and often worry and pain; but i would not give up a mind like this for the world.
while you have your exciting, crazy, adventurous life, i have the depths of my mind to plunge in and explore and mull.
recently i've had a strong, strong, feeling of inadequacy. but who cares? i know.
so i took 4 hours to pack for tomorrow's camp because i was chatting with people online. no regrets at all.
"sam, no sorrys btw friends." thanks... this meant so much. when you know you have a friend that accepts you, and is willing to listen even when all you're doing is faxie-ing. and after a pretty emotional evening on msn, chatting with lots of people about alot of complicated / exciting / emotional stuff, this one line just reminded me that in the end, real friendship is so steadfast and strong and accepting. real friendship is one of the things in the world that doesn't die easily...
the other things is something a friend helped me remember - something i've always known but have forgotten: "i'd rather take my time to get to know someone than rush into something just because everyone's rushing." it's so true. why rush just because everyone's rushing too? the Christian life is all about relaxing in His peace. :)
you know what? i'm missing so many people. it's a bittersweet feeling... and strange too, that i can be in the same country as a friend but feel like i'm on the other side of the world... things are changing, my heart.
*off to camp for the next 3 days... goodnight*
fun times...
so tell me:
what happens in the real life between magical moments? the times you don't see in movies - when the hero is brushing his teeth, or sitting in front of his laptop checking his e-mail. in a life that has almost forgotten the magic of beautiful memories, wonderful moments can seem so much more real. they are like treasure islands scattered throughout a huge ocean, and it is all you can do to keep yourself from doing nothing but swimming, swimming, and looking, doing nothing but seeking the next shore.
it's scary.
ever experienced this? you're listening to an album and then a song starts playing... and the moment you hear the intro you start crying because you remember the song - it's a song you used to love so much, long ago, maybe too long ago, because you've forgotten how beautiful it is until now.
maybe it's true - some dear things can be forgotten, given time. but somewhere, deep down, the feelings remain, waiting. it only takes a spark to kindle the largest fire.
hey... sorry i changed my blog address so suddenly... i had certain good reasons for doing it, and also could you guys not link my blog? given the nature of some of my entries, i think i should make it a bit more private :)
so life has been really interesting these days... back-to-back overseas trip and 2 camps, and spent the last 3 days going out with acct camp groupmates. it's nice how in just 2 weeks i've already found a bunch of great friends. :)
so I've decided to join this dance club in school wtih some friends haha... salsa here we come! also just had an audition for a musical in september.
suddenly life feels... full. know what i mean? not just more things to do, but more things to think about, more emotions to feel, more problems to weather, more things to learn about myself and others, more loved ones to care about. hm. only the first day since monday that i'm not meeting those coursemates, and i'm already missing them.
not that i'll forget all my old friends (ie you!). you probably know that i have a bad memory, but it's really not bad - it's very selective. there are some people i know i may never forgot, and you're probably one of them.
