let me add one more small pleasure to my list: sitting in raffles room 8 on a tuesday morning watching the teacher teach sign language. he's deaf, you see. but he communicates just as effectively, if not more so, through signing, writing, body language and facial expression. he's really quite amazing. must learn to communicate like that one day.

learnt more about sign language today..... turns out it's a lot more than just signing with the hands. it's alot about expression and body language too. i'm still lacking in that but well, that comes with practice. and it was really interesting all the same. apparently the school's organising some sort of CIP working with the hearing-impaired... it sounds fun. and i have a lot to learn from them. watching jimmy teach really opened my eyes to the myriad ways in which a person can truly express himself- without speech. quite sad that my preference for music can't be shared with them though.

if my prose today sounds like a GP essay, it's probably because im feeling extra. yup.

my internal clock is functioning well today. met people at the right times, came into classes at the right times, missed both my buses but caught each one 5 minutes later. the only thing that i missed - and quite a major one - was the meeting with jai singh. but that's her timing, not mine. she's bloody slack. im sure at 4 she's already out of the school =/ oh well any day we don't see her is a good day.

there's 2 ways of being happy. one's the haha omg so funny type of happy. the other one's the 幸福 (xing fu) type of being happy. the one where you feel at peace with the world, where you feel blessed and happy because... well because life is good to you. and make no mistake: life IS good. no matter how much i complain, no matter how troubles come my way. because it's the small things, the happy moments, that really matter. and because life, in all its glory, is worth dying for.

"'tis better to live and die than to have never lived." a nice quote from someone, somewhere out there. rock on, brother.
