the four right chords can make me cry

weekend whirlwind.

on my mind right now: need to catch up with my schoolwork!

feeling quite joyful in spite of it all.

note to self:
remember to bring snacks for CG
remember to ask Serene to come
go watch a movie this weekend!

as i was attempting to clear out my room i came across several clumps of letters here and there. read through and threw some away. not many though, i'm quite nostalgic. was amazed that people used to write to me, i have absolutely no recollection of it. really made me miss them. jonk, dor, beng, neth, and of course enai. it made me see how much i've changed since then, those "happy 15th birthday" cards. feels like a lifetime ago.

met uncle thomas in school today. really appreciate him taking time to talk to me. he's really cool, got such a rich life experience. will go home and type out some of the things he said to me and post up, think it will benefit everybody. will also post his sms to me, super funny.. he's like my dad, very nonsense!

mainly, i came away from that with a much enlarged perspective. right now what i'm dealing with day to day is very microscopic, on the transmission electron microscope level. he made me think about what life is like in retrospect, the dangerous aimlessness of the 30's, how christian leaders he knew from the 70's have fallen away, the discouragement when you're almost 60 and you realise many of your contemporaries have left the ministry or gotten sidetracked by success in life. important to think about before you go down that road.

i have a lot to chew on.

this'll be my first post from a mac! in the writing centre now... no conferences today. still getting used to the mac interface.

which reminds me, i haven't done my bioinformatics homework (linux)! which brings me back to my initial concern about not having gotten any work done over the whole of last week (too depressed/stressed over driving test) or this weekend.

ok, off i go.
