Little Talks

Though the truth may vary this, ship will carry our, bodies safe to shore.

In all honesty, I only have myself to blame for low productivity levels this entire week. I may have improved a little in the social sphere, but academically I seem to be on a steep decline. The irregularities existent in my mental framework has proven to be a remarkable contribution to the week - I somewhat managed to successfully screw up my mass communications essay on motion pictures while consistently churning out equivocal queries to intellectually challenge every other individual I meet, in no particular order of intelligence.

Moreover, I've been pretty horrible at priorities lately. In the midst of all this academic pandemonium, given that my finals are in two weeks, I deliberately chose catharsis over focus. My decision to go to Sunway instead of the campus library last Friday is legitimate proof of my folly. I won't say I regret this undertaking because I certainly had a blast. However, if you factor in not being able to succumb to any decent form of entertainment due to the lack of financial resources and time as well as the unavailability of public transport back home, last Friday was pretty chaotic, I'd say. We entered every single entertainment institution in the mall, hoping to find something substantial to delve in, but to no avail. Movies were expensive, the bowling alley was completely booked and ice-skating proved to be too costly after we factored in the cost of gloves and socks. Finally, all we got to do was have lunch, loiter about (in Nick's words), spend a good 15 to 20 minutes in the arcade shooting hoops, drumming and racing (my drifting skills have deteriorated drastically, ugh) and excavate in diverse conversation. It was a pretty good after school outing, I guess.

As for the weekend, I spent a significant amount of time at church. Saturday saw me attending the monthly youth leadership meeting and worship practice while today consisted of the usual Sunday service, a brief meet with a few of the female leaders to plan for the upcoming Girls Conference as well as lunch with June and two thirds of the Jeysing sisters. Having occupied the daytime with church activities, I reserved my nights for uni work. With the grace of God and assistance from my faithful accomplices Milo 3-in-1 and Google, I was able to come up with some rebuttals for the History debate with historical references as well from online journals and articles. My English essay's done as well, so I guess this weekend wasn't too bad after all.

I've already sectioned all the items on my to do list according to priority for this entire upcoming week and I'm hoping it will do me good as I strive to accomplish all tasks. I'll end this post with a couple of photos I took of the campus last Friday briefly after the first photography club meeting I attended. As for the other photos, they are there simply to summarize what university life has been, from my point of view. Oh, and feel free to skip the first 3 photos. Those were taken out of boredom at Asia Cafe two Fridays ago and have almost no relevance to the photos  that succeed them.

Enjoy.
