Indeed time is relative and to me, it's speeding, now and still to come. I am running out of life, currently wasted on completing projects and tasks that overwhelm my breathing space! It's been a while since I updated the blog so here goes..

Owing to my honesty (yea right :D), I decided to help out at PTM after all since my scouts pioneering test had been postponed to the following week and Moot Parliament Seminar had been cancelled as well. Seemed like a sudden twist in this fairy tale but it all worked out pretty fine. I got to bond with the CEC from 3I and they were nice people. I was multitasking between the parents and math, but obviously the latter won my attention over eventually, not that I am a mugger or anything like that anyway... It was a fruitful afternoon cum evening session and I really enjoyed it. I then went out with my parents to Manhattan Fish Market at J8 for dinner to celebrate my awesome (not really) results for PR2!! Wootz, the salmon was alright but pretty costly, guess that was one of the few times I chose a dish just to make value out of it since I was being treated to a rightful dinner..

Yesterday, i was treated (haha pun pun) to RGS Annual Assembly '10, some gangshow about candy empire and some punny crimes, was quite a distorted skit to me but it was pretty fun overall. I hope they heard us cheering for the Vuvuzela and its solo appearance. WORLD CUP NOISES FTW! I'm glad I went for it... was having certain doubts about appearing because Hannah's beloved and our SR and the mad (pronounced mat) but they didn't really spoil the show (that much). Kudos to AA!!! Can't wait for next year's! :D

Today we had a church outing to the Carmelite Monastery as well. It's a pretty solemn issue and yet somewhat disturbing. These nuns that decide to surrender their lives to God's love get caged within an enclosed area that bars them from the real world just a few 100 meters outside their door. They dedicate every single moment to praising God and carrying out his wishes by praying for the world. I am deeply touched and in constant admiration for their determination and courage to stepping into this holy ground and willing never to leave this place ever again. The temptation that something bigger and better exists outside these four walls haunt them but they can so fluently revoke these evil thoughts and continue to be so pure and immaculate.

Perhaps their actions are worthy of emulating. We should once in a war embrace the inner peaceful cosmos that lives within our soul, the being that we have always been too oblivious towards, distracted by fast-paced technology.. Once in a while, we must ignore reality (what irony in this word) and its facades but find true (in the sense that it is complete and real) solace deep down inside..
