Biennale 2008

Keeping whatever i have to say in my head. Just enjoy the pictures :D and if u can, GO DOWN AND CHECK IT OUT! :) :) :) there is so much in the experience that i feel cannot be captured by camera. and to make it worse, im not a good photographer. in my opinion, it was just plain awesome that's all. heeee...

Divine Intervention...

This is what i call divine intervention.

Had a loooong reflective post to get something off my chest, but it was "a lil" mean. Guess what? I highlighted it and *poof* it was gone. hahaha..

some things are just not worth being on a blog to be rmbred forever :D

Too much la u!

Anthea is jus too much!
So much to do and yet she's here.
Mental Constipation.
Yikes!
How to format and express what she has to say.
How to come up with a logical flow to bring across her point.

Shoots! Everything in her pia matter is rot.
Climbing the mountain slowly,
so far from the submit.

Obviously her thought aren't workin out properly.
Caesurated.
Bish!
Her brain that went on holiday never came back :p

Where to go from here.

Today has been an interesting, draining as well as refreshing one all at the same time.

I realise, i'm not the only one going through this.
I realise, there is at least one feeling the way i feel.
I realise, i'm not the only dehumanizing one.
I realise, i'm not alone.

Ok, its less severe then it sounds i think. Well, it has just been occuring to me time and again- about identity. Like, how a fabulous phase of life has come and gone, and up ahead is still unchartered ground, waiting to be journeyed. Then when we see that we hav to step out of our comfort phase, we hesitate cos we were and ARE still having the time of our lives, relishing every moment that we can. Why would any logical mind choose to move forward? Especially when the path ahead is foggy and uncertain.

But then, we realise that its only when u pluck up the courage and walk on, trusting that amidst the fog, beyond the fright, God is there every inching footstep of the way, that the next phase can be even more brilliant then the previous one.

Well, i have not experienced that brilliance, but i believe it is installed somewhere in that tentative future. All we need sometimes, really, is faith and trust that God WILL pull us through. These weeks have been draining ones and it reflects in the number of entries in THE BOOK.hahah! ah wells..

Learning with every stride i take... Something great is impending, i jus know it- for all of us.

Quick check in

So this week has been quite crazy. emotionally somehow. I have loads of stuff to do but not exactly in the mood, so i kinda drifted here. hmmm... Got a vocabulary test next week and i've barely begun the revision. Again, im learning to spell and all. Just that this time, its not a '10-words-a-week' kinda list. It is like 2 chapters worth of words in a day kinda thing. AND! German gives gender to its nouns. So funny stories are on reeling in my head to help me remember which nouns are feminine, masculine and neuter. Dont get me wrong, im lovin it! haha..

In fact, the only module i dont love (ok, understatement. i hate it!) is IT. but whatever. dont wanna complain since it wont change anything :)

the past few days have been like walking through a mini whirlwind. enough to shake and spin me upsidedown, but not strong enough to ruin me. It's not that bad really. Just gotta learn to feel less and move on more. In fact, its in times like these that i thank God i have emotions. they help me reflect more once again and lead me to writing which i have not exactly done for a while. also, they remind me that we are human and all these things are just part and parcel of our entire experience on this journey.

oh yes! i just watched the class video and the video that grace made for us again :) :) haha.. it never gets old. seriously :) im so so happy ms k forced the class video on us. It has preserved so much. But of course, she knew what she was doing- as usual.

ok, dun really wanna say anything else more. tata! :)

Uni life thus FAR... ;p

Ok, so i didnt blog in augest. OH well... haha..

Pple who have told me that uni would be a breeze?... hmmm.... I am still waitin for that gentle gale to touch me. Ok, no doubt we no longer have to rise at 6am (or at least I dont have to) and go for morning assemblies and stuff. but travelling is SO draining! let me lament for a while k? after all, i've never travelled to school on my own much less travel for an hour plus every day just to get to school. heh! wed's are the most ridiculous since i travel all the way for only one hour of IT tutorial. quite silly huh? oh wells, im cool with it- RELATIVELY.

So yes. My most interesting lesson would prolly be Deutsch. Its like going back to kindergarten and learning the ABCs once again. NO, not that it is 'as easy as ABC and 123'... I am literally learning the german alphabet! hahaha.. how to say good morning, good evening... how to ask after a person u meet on the streets, how to order drinks and call for the bill, how to pronounce the words with umluts on top of em. Its crazy kinda fun. haha.. though the amount we are expected to rmbr seems quite steep. but we will get there i guess :)

Well, uni is ok.. but there is so much to do and not much of a timeline to follow. any attempt to draw up a timeline jus reduces me to a puddle of fatigue and stress. Need to learnt o trust God more. seriously. at the moment all i see are piles and piles of work that build emselves up to mountains and i am a tiny mountaineer, barely reaching base camp. so sad! haha.. ah wells..

oh yeah, charlene: thanks for the songs and stuff. addictive!! hopefully it improves my pronunciation and vocabulary. though i must admit the songs just play on eternal repeat in my mind that it begins to scare me a lil :D :D :D cant get it out of my head!

On a random note to end... Know about the monday blues? monday happens to be the best day of my week: NO SCHULE!! :D yay! but of course, it then gets dedicated to mountain climbing :p ah wells, at least i get to study with char and jean every week. for that i am super grateful already.

alritey, that's all folks ( if there are still remnants of u)... if not, bye wall!
Tschüs!
