Concert In the Dark 170813

The first week of the new sch term has passed. Despite the new subjects and the new faces in class, being able to be taught by the same teachers is a comfort. Being able to learn tgt with at least 1/3 of my old classmates is a bonus. :) Felt really emo on one of the days when i had to go home alone. Trivial thing, i must say, but i suddenly felt an emptiness in me during my journey home. Slowly but surely, i'll learn to embrace independence.

I realised thr're lots of readings to b done this sem! Not only the chinese ones, but the eng ones as well! It's like having checklists to b cleared every wk. With the sudden surge in motivation in club activities, we are working very hard as well for Open House and many upcoming events! No matter what, there should always b a balance. :) jiayou to all!

八月十七日,我们(Bran, Bil, YC, Jo, ZM, Elaine, me)在食阁吃了晚饭后,便到 SCAPE 欣赏 "Concert in the Dark 暗中寻音"。因为要凑齐八人一起进广场,所以我们结识了一名即将成为 SUTD 的讲师。她看似年轻,但已经在美国获得生物科学的硕士。等待节目开始之前,我们都在不见五指的黑暗中交谈。

我觉得有时候与陌生人分享人生故事,是一种有趣的偶然机会。在那30分钟的交谈中,我们共同勉励、共同认可彼此的努力。这也让我增长一些知识。

表演完毕,灯便慢慢地一盏、一盏亮起来。我们终于看到现场的庐山真面目,也看到了所有表演者的努力。我想:在那短短的一个半小时中,我们体验到了视障者的生活苦衷。即使有人"带领"着我们到座位,心中还是会感到很胆怯。会撞到墙壁吗?会被地上的东西绊倒吗?不管心里有多害怕,我们也只能硬着头皮,抓紧伙伴的肩膀,继续往前走。

回到家后,见到爸妈还没睡,便与他们分享今天的体验。哈~ 妈很感兴趣地翻阅 CiD 赠送的读物(书本介绍了 CiD 的表演者、创办者等)。而爸呢,对我 fb 上的照片更感兴趣。哈哈!(^O^)至于他说了些什么,这是属于我们三人的秘密。嘻嘻~ 最后,也不忘了与他们分享歌曲。例如"爱久见人心"、"小时候"、"一千万次的泪水"。

Ohmy, fell aslp while typing haha. So this post kinda took me a whole night. -.- oh wells, it's sunday! Let's all enjoy what's left of the wkends. Recharge, rejuvenate and revv up our engine for the coming wk. 淡定•加油!

A New Episode

Tomorrow's a new beginning!

Another 2 more years of school life. Looking forward to it, but at the same time thinking of the many uncertainties.

I got to remind myself: What was my aim right from the beginning? Should i waste my energy fretting over things i'd eventually overcome? Persevere & Press On! Yes, subjects may be more difficult, assignments may be more challenging. However, if others can do it, so can i.

It's time to start the engine.

Goodnight all~
recharge, rejuvenate, rejoice!

Judge

第一次受邀当"演讲班"的评判,感到兴奋又刺激。最后一分钟拿到厚厚一叠的评估表,便立刻闪电般地阅读。

学生迅速的演讲,一闪而过。我也只能疯狂地圈"等级"、写评语。到了最后,还收到了小礼物。

司仪说道:"让我们感谢勤奋、专业的 x 老师!"哈哈,感谢另一位老师给我这个机会听她们精彩的演讲。😊

石头

最近在另一本书读到这段话。我想了想,觉得人有时就像石头。说他笨,也不是。说他聪明,也不是。人,就是有点点的不完美,而这些点何尝不是反映我们各人的独特之处吗?:)

"石头是笨的,石头不会走动,它让水侵蚀。潮水来了,慢慢地淹盖它;石头还不走,它走不了,因为它是石头。"

Embrace our differences, enjoy life~

最好还是不说

Disclaimer: The content below is not meant to depict any real life person or scenario. Just an interesting read worth sharing. :)

最近一直找时间把书本读完。哈,总算有点进展,已经超过一半了。读到有趣的部分,想与大家分享。

"对于过往爱情,最大的善意就是不说。这是一种彼此的尊重。就像与旅途中的旅伴客套地说再见。你跟人家买了一张票,又刻意同坐,如今不管谁决定走了,也不用告诉全车厢说,哦,他是我讨厌的人,所以我们不能坐一块儿,不怪我,我讨厌他。"

我想:有时在朋友/情侣关系当中,我们是否有向其他"乘客"抱怨呢?益处何在?坏处何在?偶尔反省一下,想必对人与人之间的关系会带来益处。:)

恐怖

压抑了太久,爆发力十足。

不压抑,反而更自然、更好受,不是吗?

亡

新年期间,她状况大大地进步。

她一一地问我们最近在做什么,还能记得我们是谁。没想到,6月1日入院,6月7日就离世了。

戏如人生、人生如戏。欢乐一下、悲泣一下、告别一下。

姑婆,RIP。
