Reflections
Well, it's the term break. Cannot believe it. It has already been a term since I got back to school. (I am playing Vitamin C's graduation as I am typing this out) I brings a lot of sad memories of my incompetence.
Come on, it has been already 1 term, 8 weeks, 40 days of school. What have I done? Nothing!! in terms of social wise. People are everywhere but I am still in my world. I am just not stretching my comfort zone.
I joined silat then quit. This is a wise choice. But I want to join some other CCA. Archery perhaps. I need to do that. I believe community work will open me up. I must do that as well. Study wise, I am doing okay. It is the same thing that is creeping up to me. Something that will finally catch up with me again.
Pretending will make the problem go away. Pretending is the problem.
Also I don't like that I am not getting any fitter. Whatever it takes man.
Inefficiency.....getting old
I hate when I am inefficient. The most common case of inefficiency occurs when the place is disorganised. However today's inefficiency in doing my homework includes the unreliable internet connection and the computer that always hang up on me. It just gets on my nerve. Not being able to print out things exactly as I want it is another frustration.
Hopefully, the computer remains stable as it is now.
Today, I went to school to watch Moulin Rouge. My initial opinion was of movie when it was first produced is that it must be crappy since it is a musical. I missed watching on TV twice and caught some excerpts of it shutting it down before long.
I dreaded having to watch it but I was pleasantly surprised. I was engaged to the movie. I like the part when the show uses familiar modern tunes in the musical. What really grabbed me was the inclusion of Nirvana's Smell Like Teen Spirit. The audience was not affected by that though. Another was Oasis' Heroes. Still no reaction. But they knew the song after that, Celine Dion's Titanic song. What can say? I am OLD..
West Coast
So today, the family went to grandparent's place. Before that, we went to Buona Vista to collect my O levels cert. There was this sweet lady manning the reception of the Customer Service Center.
After an hour at our grandparents place we went to West Coast. For the kids.... and the kid in the rest of us.
Dad reliving walking on 'titi' (wooden planks) back in his Pulau Brani Days. (An island; Dad lived in wooden houses on the sea by the shore). Mom overlooking from behind.I forego showing my perspective drawing as I felt obliged to follow even though there are a lot of work and still so little time. I am grateful though.
I am doing fine
I did pretty awesome for the understanding media presentation. It proofs that preparation beforehand will help. Also, I do not think I will continue silat. Also, I got an A for my UM test.
I don't know how I will fare for my design fundamentals assignment though. Things have been really packed but I will make it through with proper planning like I have done so far. Also last Sunday, my PERGAS class resumed. I am looking forward to learning Arabic and Tajweed. This is the kind of challenge that I need. Something to reinforce my Thursday classes. On that class the substitute teacher for Sirah is one character I would say. Ustazah Siti Rahmah, I would want to check her out in the future. Her saying about silat further enforces my decision to leave silat. Maybe I could work part-time. That would earn me some bucks$$.
