Sunday, March 27, 2005 I learnt to roller-skate today. Fell down more times than I can count, but I've managed to grasp the basics, haha. Only got a big problem with speed and downslopes. And a minor problem trying to brake. Fun! Everyone claimed I learn fast, being able to skate so well after just one session. Finally worked up the effort to call the driving instructor and start learning to drive after one year plus of procrastinating. But the phone number is more than a year old and is no longer in use! So I'm now looking for another instructor. Sigh. Also applied for a debit card, again after months of procrastinating. Things left to do: Clean up my stuff, pack away my NS stuff and prepare my field pack for mobilisation, start regular jogging, wrap all my books in plastic, and countless other stuff I can't think of now. Already March is coming to an end, so August is not as far away as imagined. Yikes. Thursday, March 17, 2005 "Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there." link to above Let's Make A Deal link to above It's so good to meet with friends, especially to part with words unsaid. It holds the promise of further meetings, a confidence that there will be no awkward silences. It is even better to meet new friends then part with words unsaid, to know that you have made a new friend and that the world out there is filled with people waiting for you to befriend. Also the things you learn about the person, about life in general, or about things you've never known about, from the conversations. It is a good feeling to learn and to improve knowledge. I collect my IC on Friday! Hopefully. It depends on my RSM being in camp today, and depends on there being no special events tomorrow. Now I'm going out of the tunnel into the bright sunshine and a broad plain of grass stretching from horizon to horizon, a limitless space for me to roam and grow and to be the best me I can be. But where do I go? What is my destination from now on, or do I simply roam aimlessly only to find, years later, that I've not moved far from where I started at all? The end of the tunnel is hardly the be all and end all, on the contrary it is the beginning of the rest of my life. No more do I follow a guided path, from now on I go where my feet take me. So, maybe the tunnel ain't that bad after all? Tuesday, March 08, 2005 My computer is fixed! The power supply spoilt itself, it turned out. All the repairman did was to replace it and the computer was right as rain. All for free, too, because my computer is 1 week shy of its first birthday. But it wasn't so bad, without a computer, since I still have my PS2. :) Saturday, March 05, 2005 My computer broke down.. My brother claimed that, while he was playing, it switched off suddenly and would not start again. So there goes everything, including new blog layout. Hopefully the hard disk is intact, because I did not back anything up.. Aargh. |
