开学、生命、累了

开学咯 - 希望这平稳的开始不是暴风雨前的平静。

Finally embarked on a new start this week.

Thanks to National Day, the sch wk was a short one. Mon-Wed are pretty packed, esp. Wed, with last lesson ending at 7.30pm. Weird timing for that module. 5.30pm - 7.30pm. Earlier than that and the meal will be like tea. After that and it'll be towards supper, esp. by the time I've reached Boon Lay interchange. Heavy lunch's not advisable since there's only 2 one hour breaks in btw 8 periods of lessons. Dieting day then - for the 'longest' study day (argh...) of the wk.

Thur is really short, just 2 hours of lessons. Friday? "Lagi" better. OFF. Wee~! That said, issues that are affected cos of previous 3 wkdays' schedule/time table will have to be moved on to these 2 days, plus I'm sure these 2 days will end up being used for project work meet ups later on in the semester. Oh well, just enjoy it while I can.

I must admit I was pretty unsure of how things will be, cos firstly, its a completely different course of study, a higher lvl, and felt my mind's a little rusty, having last (truly) been a student 2-3 yrs ago. I was in for a pleasant surprise though. Lessons were interesting. Am glad I made the right choice (at least that's the way I see it, right up to this point). I may not be an expert in this field, but at least with that interest and thirst to learn and find out more, I guess it'll make up for it. Still quite a long way to go though, just hope this isn't a false dawn. Fingers crossed!

生命 - 一份上天赐给父母/我们的珍贵礼物？还是一份上天跟我们开的玩笑？

Life is so fragile. Not that I only got to find out now or recently. But its a point of view (pov) that people may constantly lose sight of, until something happens. After Sir Bobby Robson, another footballing man has passed away - Daniel Jarque of Espanyol. Its alledgely a sudden heart failure, while he was on the phone with his fiancee.

Abrupt news of his death was shocking, what puts things further into pespective is that this has happened to a professional sportsman (of cos, there were several other similar cases like Antonio Puerta and Marc-Vivien Foe). Anything can happen anything. Really. There are more than enough reasons/examples for one to believe in this. Life is brittle, it is. And, it can be cruel and is (more often than not,) short (not in terms of individual age, but what you achieve/fail to/mistakes you spend time rectifying).

Such news are always depressing. What is going to happen to his fiancee and that 7-8mth old unborn baby? He was on the verge of international stardom (I'm quite sure he would've grew into a regular player for Spain), setting up a beautiful family and this has to happen. God/Heaven knows best? Sorry, I beg to differ.

As if trying to emphasize this point of how weak life is and to get the point across, this Taiwan typhoon has to come. R.I.P to everyone who have been cruelly snatched off their next view of daylight, and my sincerest well wishes for victims affected/still awaiting rescue. Stay strong. Hang in there. These words are cheap, but thoughts are really with all of you. May God bless all.

累了 - ‘如果’和‘重来’这两个字在我脑海里的词典渐渐消失了。

真的累了。知道我没有资格说着两个字。纯粹在对自己发泄而已。

天作孽犹可违；自作孽不可活（上天降下的灾害还可以逃避；自己造成的罪孽可就无处可逃。）。这点我很清楚。

知道这条路总有尽头。 唯一的未知数，是何时才能看得到，以及到达。我会继续相信。我必须这么做。
