Nothing of Importance

Listening to: Hard Day's Night, The Beetles
Thinking of:

My essay paper on cancer therapy has been completed... Big words, a world of possibilities and basically knicking stuff off other papers. I swear one can pass a masters on the virtue of googling, but of course... that isn't the point.

Anyway, the sun is looking up but my room looks like a dump.

Priorities... we all have them. To dynamics of priorities are interesting, its influence can change the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us. But just how do we determine our priorities? Image? Future image? Success? Following the Joness'? I suppose taking a leaf out of my essay, a priority for a cancer patient is to live, whereas the priority of some of us would be image... ahhh.. definitely a marketers dream! It defines the way we live our lives and how we perceive ourselves. To think that in the end of the day, once we take a closer look at our body mechanics, its just an exchange of fluids and little electrical pulses.

For the time being, my priority is not to postpone a meeting with my supervisor which has been postponed for 2 weeks... One, she was busy and this week, a hard sequence of circumstances on my behalf. Ah well...

Peekaboo

The weather is great, its cold and its bright... I'm stuck in my room today though, gotta spend sometime in the pad. I spoke to Hui Tek yesterday and it struck me as I extended my hand to shake his that so many people I will forget in a few years time, people whose hands I'm shaking, the smiles we're exchanging. Its bizzare...

On my way back to my halls, I thought to myself if its just me. I suppose not, since I will be one of those forgotten by others. However, thought progression led me to "Am I a fringe friend?" For years I've never been able to form an intimate circle around myself, admittedly it could be blamed to me not really trying. On the contrary, maybe I've never developed the tempremant to be super likeable. Not that I've got anything against it, but y'know... just a thought. Peekaboo dear!

For the past couple of weeks, I've been here there and everywhere... Been doing things, been working a bit, some insight into life of others... but mainly been lazy. Someone's asked for my phone number, had a few good chats with older friends...

Malaysia Nite posters are out thanks to Kar Wai and household! Hey, even a trailer... how is that... Expertise behind it, Sebastian! Woo Hoo... anyway, I'll post up the posters when there is a soft copy available.

Watched 15 with a bunch of Malaysians and Singaporeans... Basiceally it deals with wannabe Ah Beng gangsters in Singapore. The vulgarity and the trauma behind their screwed up lives and the people that view them. Smuggling drugs in a condom, suicidal tendencies and pretty interesting set of voccabulary. All of this at the age 15.

Thinking of:

When the mind started thinking of things to write, I knew it was time to resurrect the blog. Not only have I been away from writing, I've also kept a distance from reading as well. Oh well... but I'm back hopefully with stuff to write a desire to be inspired through the life of others.

So, for the past couple of months, loads have changed... For starters, I'm back at university and have finished most of my modules. Malaysia Night practice has started and I'll once again be in the play as a minor role.

I've had my moments of pain and anguish, and many more of laughter and joy. Well, all parts of life I suppose... Its now 0023 and I'm feeling rather sleepy. Goodnite world... I'll see you again soon.
