The trouble with Indian Punctuality

Sunday, October 21, 2007

Again, point format. Ha, I bet you felt the dejavu.

Sat-Class CIP. This time, I got rid of the Indian punctuality and actually left the house in time, considering that breakfast was on the go. Oh gosh, I think the MRT ride to CCK actually rekindled my love for long travelling times. It was enjoyable not to enter a crowded train for once and to have the liberty of half an hour fully devoted to contemplative thoughts that arise. The yellow tiles of tp, the graceful flight of birds over the waters of Khatib, the sprawling lands (wow I thought land was always scarce) of the peripheries, were actually springboards from where I stopped to smell the roses. Had the time to think and brood over alot of things that's been happening lately. Of which many weren't exactly heartening, if you ask me.
I thought about the mouse, but it was just a fleeting one.
I thought about how our class is slowly falling apart, and the inevitable absence of certain classmates whom I hold dear): Sometimes, I can't help but think where God is in all these things. Is there perhaps a reason as to why all this is happening? Is this the mysterious work of some diving omniscient metaphysical presence which I have yet to comprehend? I sure hope so. I hope that there is some silver lining to my clouds of doubt, and that I'll find the happy ending I'm looking for. Sometimes I can't help but cry.))):
But I digress.
CIP was really rewarding, in both senses. We managed to collect truckloads of newspapers/clothes/appliances. Plus, this isn't a racist comment, but the Malay residents were especially warm to us. At one house particularly, the lady was so kind to give me cans of Coke, which I politely refused, but she absolutely insisted on me taking it. Lunch was at KFC as Greenridge shopping centre, a very heartland-ish mall. We managed to cover about 11 blocks but by then it was already like six in the evening and we were uber tired. And slightly emo too, I guess, since it was the last time our class was gonna be officially together.):): Trainride home with Aiming and Arthur. We were super tired, actually sat on the floor between the carriages.
Today-PW day. Had some prob initially with settling whose house to go, but met at Taka first to video the venue and all. Then off to Hougang to meet Kath and Cheryl, where we ate lunch at this rather Chinese-themed kopitiam. Pricey, if u ask me. Took a bus to to her place (omg she lives in a condo) at 4. I nearly got a heart attack when my comp hanged on me but seren fixed it. We didn't take the video of the puppets): Not very productive sesssion today, and I'm getting worried about the nearing deadline looming ahead. Darn. We haven't even worked out our speeches. But I guess we have the outline of the slides, so good enough for now.

This is a really depressing post, just look at the amt of sad emoticons. School ends in two days, damn.

I don't even know whether you even care.
