Hello everybody! I guess that pretty much round up my 2-days return to this civilisation. I don't quite like it because the more time I spend out here, the more I wouldn't want to make my return. And somewhat, my self-discipline suffers a lot whenever I come out, as such, my quiet time is sometimes compromised. (Nevertheless, as compared to before when I don't really read as much, at least I'm reading up more these days, yet it's still below-par standard.)
Anyhow, this week has been a much more relaxing one because the university application is finally more or less settled already. Aside from the little worries that I have regarding my acceptance (very much due to the kind of results that I've secured after 2 years of inhuman slogging), the weekend has been a rather peaceful one. I've finally managed to enjoy the company of the dear fellow servers whom I've not met for 3 weeks already, and on the course, I've even met my dear juniors like Shanna and Helena! I miss you guys so so much! Hope cheerleading's been good to you guys. Went out with mom in the evening and spent some time with her.
Sometimes silence beats any kind of conversation because it really is the silent company that matters.
Korean drama, Glory of Family, is a really nice show. The last episode was shown today and that was the first of which I've watched, and I like it a lot. It's that kind of identity, that kind of culture, that kind of tradition that are lacking in our society I guess. The basic acknowledgement, the special emphasis on mutual respect, the importance of heritage, the focus on family line, and above all the heavyweights of family pride (that special bondage of belonging). Singapore has failed to establish one of its own, and the indulgence of the citizens' respective different background had only served to embitter the situation. Frankly, deep down, I do crave for that kind of heritage- that of Thailand, China, Korea and even Japan.
I've also just watched another documentary on discovery: Dragons: a fantasy made real
