So much has happened…

F12012-60

Honestly, I can’t believe that the last time I blogged was half a year ago. Time flew by like nobody’s business, and so much has happened since then.

I get the feeling that nobody is actually reading this anymore as well, since this is as good as dead. Since the last post, I have entered into Chin Lien Bible Seminary, spent most of my time in school, played Diablo 3 (in the holidays of course), attended my future-brother-in-law’s wedding, went for F1 and now preparing for my own wedding.

Sometimes you just need to have an extended period of rest before the spark of inspiration hits you again for you to restart your blogging. Lots of things to share too, if anyone is reading.

For one, Chin Lien is as demanding as any school other than university. In fact, if you’re above 40, it might be a little hard for you to keep up with the pace we live at everyday. A late day starts at 645am, ends at 1030pm with a period of 3 hour rests (meals included) sandwiched in between. By the time bed time hits, trust me you don’t have the energy to do anything else. Earlier days are better, but only slightly.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. It’s so routine I’m actually liking it. I haven’t had this kind of life since what? Secondary school? Come to think of it, that kind of liberal timeline you get in uni really screws up your bioclock. It’s the same for working life. It’s an enjoying process here, albeit a little tiring sometimes.

Life is only good when you know you are meant to do whatever that you are doing right here, right now. This is the life that God has directed, and if you knew it, it would be the best life for you, even if you have to go through hell.

On another note, F1 was fun. Though if you asked me, I’d never buy myself a ticket to it. It’s just overpriced. Perhaps it’s my once-in-a-lifetime experience then, and also my first time up the flyer. It was fun to capture all those shiny cars in the spotlights. And of course, there is the deafening noise – sounds like an undying horde of flies each one the size of an elephant zooming pass you every time they passed by. All in all, a good experience – especially when it’s paid for.

Alright then, I guess this will last for another few months? I don’t know when my probe will gather the sparks of inspiration once again for me to spill some thoughts over these pages. Here is a picture which says a thousand words.
