Day of the hurrying clouds
Like dancers on a stage, the grey and white clouds parade themselves on that infinite expanse which we call the sky, to the rescue of boredom inflicted upon CJL by Friday Morning MBSSKL assemblies. CJL ponders as usual, the best things in life are indeed free…
Ah, I’m still waiting for that confirmation letter from cathay pacific =D. Thanks a lot for the support guys! if all goes well there’ll be plenty of African Mud to go around.. whee~.. lolz jk of coz.. I’m sure u guys will prefer pictures =)
Speaking of South Africa, I recall a tiny piece of childhood memory. A memory begotten from a time when my imagination ran free, like the deers upon the forests so lush and green… skipping happily munching grasshoppers.. (the deers, not me)
Although I’ve always recalled wanting to become a judge or an actor… after watching too many justice PAO movies (and witnessing the fun of cutting people’s heads off with a giant knife with lion engravings on it) on 10.30pm weekdays on Metro Vision, I’ve once also aspired to become an Ambassador! =)
I would once dream.. of going to faraway places, forging high level diplomatic relations with people of other countries.. of staying in a bungalow at a Jalan Duta equavalent somewhere among the other 191 countries of the world.. of sharing my knowledge to others and receiving from them likewise.. of contributing towards human synergy.. and making more friends! I was like about.. 6 years old back then? lol..
And then I realized.. I’ve never seen any Malaysian Chinese ambassadors to date… so, there goes another dream.. as I prepared to surrender my preschool life to the Malaysian education system.. and see where I would fall into society.. this obtuse binomial distribution..
Believe it or not, this is a dream come true! 12 years ago this young man could’ve never imagined in his wildest dreams that he’d become an ambassador for Malaysia.. even if its just for 9 days.. this is truly a blessing from God! =)
I will do my best.
anyway, Here is a cool link to something Han Sheng created http://cathaypacificwildernessworkshop06.blogspot.com/.. check it out =D
Form 6 orientation is done!
I could vividly recall my final signature pursuit… the target was.. the bubbly sportswoman Seaw Yoong! Through the hot, humid, and CO2 saturated atmosphere of the MBS canteen, sweating profusely, I dashed into the canteen, patiently spotting a bunny-like smiling face, awaiting the dear sportlady’s sympathy level to reach its activation point.. which was really high, since it was like, the zillionth time I’m asking her to sign my orientation book.. lol
After singing bah bah black sheep in the canteen, it was mission accomplished. I’ve finally completed the orientation thingy!.. Thank God it went well.. =) .. and I think I learnt some stuff about the characters of the upper 6s too. The most memorable orientation task has got to be from Aaron who asked me to quote the bible, John 3:16.. to be honest I wasn’t 10% sure about it.. but like a Godsend, I remembered the inscriptions on the rostrum of metro tabernacle.. and the quote was completed word for word.. its a miracle!
Anyway.. studies have become interesting again! It’s so amazing when one could relate the sciences and the math to the world around us =D.. how science allows us to understand the world around us and give us an understanding as sweeet as honey.. yet I also realized something.. that this sense of joy vanishes into thin air whenever one is FORCED TO STUDY… so the lesson here is, interest happens when study is on one’s own accord.. study has got to be an autotelic activity, and autotelic activities are what we come to know as leisure.
Well, its time to face the music, Crescendo, CREScendo, CRESCENDO!
