In the mood for festivities

Yup, these kids were celebrating the Lantern festival at the void deck with candles and sparklers which got me reminiscing a little. Have yet to even eat any mooncakes -.-

I happened to walk past Kampong Glam the other day and it was turned out to be crowded at night since the muslims were breaking fast then. It was such a pretty scene, buzzing with activities and all the flashing colourful lights. The best part? The Ramandan buffet!!!

I'm in my Meredith Grey mood - again:
"There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment, and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by the commitments we're willing to make. True commitment, takes effort, and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to choose our commitments very carefully."
- And I'm absolutely not ready to commit-

I had this weird recurring dream for the last 2 days. I swear that it's only my dream and nothing political about this.

It's about a dystopic Singapore society where a social heirarchy system was formed based on one's math and science results. Families with kids that were maths prodigies or reknowned scientist at home were at the top of the pyramid. Those who screw their numbers up, had no Einstein brains were relegated to the bottom.

I was like this onlooker, viewing the entire society via a little boy and his family. The little boy was constantly mocked and jeered by his classmates, whilst his family suffered humiliation because his maths was so bad in school.

It felt like a caste system and it's freaky I think. They were simply outcasts of the society.

And it was one hell of a weird dream I admit.

- But maybe, I need this change. A drastic change that sets me away from the past 19 years of my life. -

Meredith: I don't know what to say to you.

Izzie: When Dylan died and when the bomb went off did you feel like… you were moving in slow motion?

Meredith: He was there and then he wasn't ...like I blinked and he was gone.

Izzie: I feel like I'm moving in slow motion and everything around me is moving so fast... and I just want to go back to when things were normal, when I wasn't poor Izzie laying on the bathroom floor in her prom dress with her dead fiancée. But I am. So I can't. Am. I'm just stuck. And there's all this pressure cause everyone's hovering around waiting for me to do something or say something or flip out or yell or cry some more. And I'm happy to play my part. I'm happy to say the lines and do whatever it is I'm supposed to be doing if it would make everyone feel more comfortable. But I don't... I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to be this person. I don't know who this person is.

"For even the strongest of us, time seems to play tricks. Slowing down, hovering, until it freezes. Leaving us stuck in a moment, unable to move in one direction or the other."

I am stuck somewhere.

If there's a way for me to run out of everything, if I can just stop and leave, I would.

If money isn't a matter, I would simply run and go.

When I saw her leave, half of me left with her.

Body without soul. Maybe maybe.

Music: 好心分手 by Candy Lo and Wang Lee Hon

Reminds me very much of Wan Jie and Nanyang. The very first month when I was there, this song was always be in her MP3.

It's stuck inside my head.

Reminisence

Li Huan and I met after a long long long time and as usual, we talked about anything under the sun. From her NUH trips to Jessie to Nadiah and lah lah lah.

But the BIGGEST surprise out of the whole trip:

TA DA !!!! DEAR TK GIRLS,WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW THEM??

In case for those who's forgotten, Madam Hassan who's closest to me. The history buff? The one who always tries to defy and deny her real age?

Mrs Manmohan in front of her. Mrs Manmohan my dears, have you forgotten about her? The one who teaches HOME ECONS??? I remember Shanti's always mentioning about her. Mrs Manmohan vs Mrs Sin, who would you choose?

Mrs Koh-Lee, the Geog, Lit cum English teacher.

And our beloved Mdm Chee standing right in front of Li Huan. The communist Mdm Chee!!!!

Well, apparently, the bunch of girls were there to meet up with Mrs Manmohan, who left for Aussie when we were in Sec 2 and Mrs Koh-Lee who's posted to MOE.

It was really really funny when I told Mdm Hassan that I'm taking history in NUS right now and I commented that Prof. Lockheart's a real cool dude. She was like yeah, he's a guy who likes to discuss about blah blah blah...

Then I went about saying that I'm also taking Philosophy and Prof. Holbo too was awesome. Then Mdm Hassan was like ...... errr..... I responded by saying Prof. Holbo has been teaching at NUS for the past 10 years and Mdm Hassan pinched me because I've kindly forgotten that she's left NUS for MORE THAN 10 YEARS. OPS~

The good old TK days (:
