read matthew's blog for a summary of 06/07 rimb life... many feelings and thoughts running through my mind. how's rimb? is there hope? i guess there's always hope. people like quanhui are the epitome of that hope i guess. his undying loyalty and passion for rimb never fails to inspire me... really respect him for going so far for the juniors. his efforts to socialize with them and improve the band and all. and then my thoughts drift to me... i wonder what i've done with my sec 1s when i was rd head. the rd head is such a critical post... and did i do a good job? could i have done better? did i make a difference? somehow i think i could have done so much more... but i don't know what exactly. unsurprisingly, david and matthew are pessimistic towards their batch. don't know if i'm biased (then again maybe it's just that i'm a naturally hopeful person) but i have faith in the sec 3s. lolz... i wanted them to be a 'revolutionary batch'. guess i'll know next year.
just came back from bmt... smth zhenghong said struck me. "we used to be very good friends in sec 2 remember? always went out to eat ban mian..." i just laughed and shrugged off his comment. is it so easy to renew a friendship? just by remembering the past, can we reestablish that bond again? i guess the past friendship does count for something... but for how much really? but then again, it'd be real nice to be friends again with such a happy person like him :)
on that note... i went cycling on friday! i totallyyyy thank God for giving me the inspiration to carry on the session even tho my front tire was punctured. omg it was hell man... doing the slopes on a flat tire on a bike but it was so worth it. talking to shang is such a rare luxury. treasure that time spent... hopefully it'll become regular. gotta get my bloody bike fixed first -.-
srry must change topic. i've got like... a long list of things i wanna blog about. something in Heroes episode 18.
Linderman: You see, there comes a time when a man has to ask himself whether he wants a life of happines or a life of meaning?
Nathan: I'd like to have both.
Linderman: Hahaha. Can't be done. Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present. No thoughts of what's gone before and no thoughts of what lies ahead. But, in a life of meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future.
a clear, although biased, i would say, illustration of the dichotomy of the life people lead can lead. Carpe Diem. Seize each day and treasure it dearly. what a nice idealistic little philosophy to live your life by. i guess we all have to find a balance in ourselves (yucks hate it that everything revolves around balance). where to draw the line between meaning and happines. where to draw the line between preparing for future life, and actually living life.
