See you again Sarah



Block 3 in PTEB is very quiet for me now. Not many of my friends are in the canteen and the library I’m afraid will have to be the only place to go.
Maybe it’s the time of year to go back in there. Hahaha.

Well one thing is for sure.
I’m sure going to miss her.

Time is not a straight line



After discussing the Cat's Eye novel in English Literature class, I've got some insight on the concept of time.

I remember staring at a picture I saw in the Kyoto-Tokyu Hotel named "Time". It's made with a broken chain of straight lines but also a graph like horizontal line cutting a quarter of the picture. Kaka and I discussed about how can this drawing explain the concept of Time.

Then I remembered the the novel's opening line: "Time is not a straight line". At first I thought it's confusing but as I read deeply in to the words, I realised that this is not any fictional memoir of a painter's past life as it tends to focus more on the protagonist's memories and emotions, on flashbacks. And that these flashbacks occur all of a sudden made her realise her past and that it will never change.

And then I found Blankets again and read through it one more time.

A memoir graphic novel where it centers on the main character's love life and Christian faith, and since this novel is his dwelling into the past, the same with Cat's Eye, I find the last lines of the novel very touching.

He goes out for a walk to see the snow. Behind him, he makes foot tracks. He exhales and a cloud of breath remains. He sweeps some snow off a fence then looks again at the tracks he made.
He first walks, then leaps and leaves a gap between one footprint and another. After that, he goes on walking, leaving more footprints on the snow.

"How satisfying it is to leave a mark on a blank surface.
To make a map of my movement--
--no matter how temporary"

He looks up in the sky, and snow is falling.

Rwanda Genocide

We watched another film for GP today, this time on the topic of human rights.
I watched Hotel Rwanda before and saw the atrocities that can occur then in 1994. And the most surprising of all, it was never thought seriously.

UN soldiers who return home after being denied of intercepting the Hutu violence tore their blue berets in disgust.

Yes, Genocide is terrible, especially to your fellow man. We went through interviews of survivors and killers, and it was real tragedy when it befell them.
Filah cried after the film, most of us felt great sympathy.
Dulce et Decorum est Pro Patria Mori gone wrong.

Bandar Blacks junior division

Today I went for training with the Junior Bandar Blacks. Saffuan recommended I join the juniors first before going to senior league.
Of course, I felt a little guilty, but the training regime is equally hard than Sixers training. So The Captain says true on what he meant.

But the final decision came when PES invited me. so I said, "You know what? Sure. I haven't played much rugby in awhile since I came back." It is definitely a breath of fresh air.

So I came for training earlier than the guys but training is super fun. Games back to back. Tackles left and right, It's down right coolness.
Looks like extra training coming right up. ^_^
