small things big thoughts Occasional panic attacks and intense pangs of emotions do assail me. As much as i would like to declare myself to be a superwoman of some caliber, i am afraid i fall short of that goal at times. But that's okay i suppose, because even heroes have the right to bleed. Sometimes i look at people who are going about their daily lives. Today when i was on the bus to SMU there was this nun sitting in front of me. I recognised her as a nun because she had this head scarf thing and she dressed plainly. You know, how some nuns look like but not those Chinese nuns. She was sitting opposite me, and looking outside the window with this faint and contented smile on her face. I was looking outside too, but that was because i couldn't really digest the readings on Feminist Geography. Then after that she started to clean her teeth using her fingers and picking things that made me look away real fast. She then resumed her composure in a short while and changed her seat to sit beside me. I went back to my reading and after a few stops, we alighted together. Small things like these leave a huge impression. The SMU event wasn't one of the good ones i did. No crowd during the graveyard timings. Then left to study with B at starbucks and managed to finish two readings, although i seriously doubt myself whether i actually internalised them. Earl Grey tea is so not in my books now. Love the new ring. And then meeting the gang for dinner was good, although i was dissociative for a bit. XLB at DTF was okay, fried rice tasted reasonable and i love black vinegar. Headed to watch Step Up 3 and well, it certainly got me wanting to move several times during the movie because it was just so inspiring to watch. Wanna dance! Now here i am typing this entry idiographically. What a day. Fulfilling with small interesting snippets and close friends, and such days keep the life worth living. |
