Threading "The Road Not Taken"

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost...
:) Now I thread this similar road... again... a road not taken... yet.

Sound of living

Ever heard the sound... living...
Ever seen the sigh... living...
Every breath taken, living...
Every peace broken, living...

In search... peace.

Weekend

The SMU Open house was quite big scale. As in Raffles Convention Centre. Got a view from Equinox (first time I'm up there... so malu-ating... have to ask directions up) and then they even arranged bus tours of the campus.
I was quite disillusioned by the scale of expenditure on the event. Stayed from 2 till 6... but didn't collect any stuff... only had a bag of memories... knowing that I told a few of the potential juniors... the importance of planning well in the course.
Spent today doing my FA report. Quite done now. Left AS and BGS reports. Goodnight!

Rainbows... interestingly miraculous

Saw a rainbow at my granny's birthday today... it was diffraction... but a miraculous sight of rainbow colors seeping into the function room at my uncle's... it was fun... though I couldn't stay till evening I guess I had enjoyed myself. Happy for my granny.

Friends

Friends are crucial.
Think I'm turning deaf recently.
Need to see a proper doctor soon... summer?
Anyway I really hope some friends would treasure each other... guess sometimes the busyness that we are so engrossed in consumes us. We lose our souls and life. Friends.

Dining

It's been really enjoyable two fridays dining at HV with XX... ha... quite amazing how we can click. =)

Anyway I had my first really bad gastric ever... on Thursday... 3 classes, 2 meetings + irregular meal times... that's ultimate. I tried NTUC at Bt Timah to get some medicine (GA says "Actal" is useful... so I went searching for it)... but never sell... pharmacy all close and the clinic refuse sell without consultation... the kiosk also never sell so I went BPP where I'm suppose to do BGS interview. Got my relief there... pheew... I'm still alive! And yesterday I had interview for BGS at CASE too... very interesting.

I'm looking forward to Sunday. My granny's birthday. Sometimes I wonder how to express love in this world 'cos sometimes it's just so innate and so hard to be shown... but yet sometimes people need such affection to be shown... at least sometimes. Goodnight!

Discrimination

I'm learning about price discrimination now in class... beginning to think about the discrimation that pervades our society... how somethings change because of how one perceives another's background.

1) Race: It's pretty common... even I admit to falling prey to a degree of racial discrimination... it's unavoidable of sorts... we find differeneces a bit too stark compared to similarities (such as nationality... education and others).

2) Looks: Well, oh well, who can deny people judge each other by the cover... at least first interactions definitely.

3) Capability: some people are born more equal than others...

4) Wealth: Who lived in a kampung and enjoyed the life running among chickens, feeding big tortioise... with durians almost killing them on a possible fateful day; Who lived in a condominium or landed property... running with neighborhood friends to McDonald's... slurping off the nicest ice-cream and playing the most fantabulous toys there are in the market: I've lived both lives simultaneously... at life's phases.

5) Heart: The thing is... how important is a big heart since no one knows...

I'm disillusioned by some things in life but I guess things are going right again... at least in some area... but not exactly on the relationship area... I'm doing fine... never gave up as yet... persistence or obstinance... enlighten!

Taking a stride

Today I finally knew that my internship application or rather pseudo offer was not possible as there is no vacancy at the organisation.
Upset, but taking a stride.

Upset

I'm so upset...
1) my BGS exams... stupid guy (I don't know him really!!) took my book.
2) my friend never come for the research meeting... waited for him.
3) my refuge place got evacuated... by someone else...
4) my friend's not going to eat tonight... going for performance...
5) my FA project presentation tomorrow must finish... after so long a waiting period.
6) my dad keeps asking my to change my N8250, but I don't want to!
7) my sleep pattern is haphazard now... keep falling asleep... e.g. yester night.
8) my perspectives of life is being reshaped when someone asked me to take the baton.
9) my u-turn in life needs to begin... NOW!
10) ...
*period**period*

Cigarettes... oh pheww...

Feeling quite irked at cigarettes recently but please don't get me wrong, I am not hating or disliking smokers but I'm just wondering how bad these little puffing sticks are...

Anyway life's been bitter-sweet recently... I'm walking on a new road of life now... enjoying the company of a friend whom I really wanted to be with... we might not/never be together but the friendship shared is/will be memorable and sweet.
Time and again I might feel a bit disappointed/neglected/oversighted... but I guess patience, a virtue I belive I possess, would guide me.

Love's wonderfulness spurs people to achieve dreams beyond sight.
