goodbye

Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?

despite the long schedule today, i actually enjoyed classes. maybe it's because of the intelligent crossfire exchange between zixin and i that persisted at random intervals during the day. or perhaps it's talking to sharynn whom i must thank for constantly waking me up. or i guess it might be that my op is finally moving along nicely, and hopefully it will be perfect in 1 weeks' time. AND IT WILL FINALLY BE OVER!

mmm. today's bbhh party was ok i guess. response was fairly good. frisbee! as usual, i enjoyed playing frisbee. hahaha frisbee is like a dance - every throw, every catch and every action is like a step to the beautiful rhythm. the wind, the frisbee and i becomes one, at the fleeting moment when time slows and the frisbee revels in the attention given to it.

these transient images are often replayed in my mind as i try to capture the evasive reason as to why frisbee has me so entranced. today, i think i finally got a glimpse of the truth behind the mystery. freedom and fluidity. playing frisbee calls for fluidity - everything from timing your jumps and runs to catching and throwing the frisbee. it's a flowing movement. it gives you a sense of great freedom and release. it is as if your heart follows the frisbee as it soars towards the boundless sky. frisbee is simply =)

mr. hodge's farewell. to say that he's a fantastic principal is an understatement. always ready with a smile, mr. hodge is really the 'bestest' of the best principal i have ever seen. mr leong's emotional state as he paid a farewell speech to mr. hodge was testimony to how much mr. hodge has impacted his fellow colleagues during the 7 years he was in rjc. when wanjoo told us that the tents that are set up around the school by mr. hodge were for the j2s - to shelter them from the rain should there be a downpour on the day of As - i really felt touched, even though i'm just a j1. i think in all essence, mr. hodge truly redefined the word 'principal' and i really feel grateful for having the opportunity to know him.

goodbye mr. hodge. rjc will miss you. i will miss you too.

life is funny sometimes.
she's like an erratic trickster.
and i got fooled. deceived.
despite all that,
i'm still blessed
with happiness and joy.
why is that so?
maybe it's just how things work.
=)
