Snow

It snowed today.

Pure white flakes descending from the heavens above, buffeted about by the cold cold winds of Glasgow.

To land on the ground, forming an endless expanse.

The pureness, the untaintedness, the brilliant wonder of it all.




Tis' indeed a pretty world that we live in. :)

Even Mr. Snowman agrees... don't you Smiley Snowy Man?

The Snow That Never Drifts by Emily Dickinson

The Snow that never drifts --
The transient, fragrant snow
That comes a single time a Year
Is softly driving now --

So thorough in the Tree
At night beneath the star
That it was February's Foot
Experience would swear --

Like Winter as a Face
We stern and former knew
Repaired of all but Loneliness
By Nature's Alibit --

Were every storm so spice
The Value could not be --
We buy with contrast -- Pang is good
As near as memory --

I Miss U, IMU

So sue me. It's been less than half a year, I've yet to see snow fall and already I want to go home.

Can't believe I actually even miss IMU. Coz whenever previously anyone asked where I am from I'll tell them I'm (was) studying in the uni which looks remarkably like a refurbished shopping centre.

But at least there's a burger stall and lots of food options near that place, right, unlike here.

And that lecturers there are not so condescending and patronizing, unlike a certain person here (who-shall-remain-unnamed-but-I'm-sure-everyone-knows-who-she-is). I mean seriously, if you guys don't want us here, then why sign the agreement to have twinning students come over in the first place? Then you don't need to exert effort to make them feel so unwanted right?

Gosh, I miss Mr. David, with his dry sense of humour, Prof Yeoh who's like a kindly grandmother, Mr. Benny, with his warped sense of humour, Mr. Mudassir, who'll always say hi whenever we meet him out of class, Dr. Tan who's always ready with a smile, Prof Peter, though we only see him once a sem (if lucky) and many others. Sigh.

Of course this rant doesn't apply to all. Some are very nice, like Ian Towle (who actually remembers our names!) and Sandy Gray (who frequently acknowledges us in his classes).

Or maybe I'm just too used to being a teacher's pet. LOLZ.

I need:
Patience.
Humility.
Peace.
Forgiveness.

I have to be aware of:
Pride.
Anger.
Irritation.
Envy.

AAAAAAAAAAAARGH..... Everything seems to be going wrong. My word programme is typing in Mandarin.. Every time I switch the font back to Calibri, the next letter would be in Mandarin. WTH?? Every little thing sets me off now. People stepping on my bed, people messing with my stuff... Gah. Maybe I should go to bed. Or turn to my faithful Bleach and Naruto fandom. Surely they won't let me down too.... will they?

Bonfire Night

BST & GMT

Forgot to set back my clock an hour earlier.

Weird, but my computer does that automatically.

Went by my computer clock until it was almost time to go to church (according to the watch which was not set back an hour earlier).

So nearly had a heart attack about being late to church today.

This almost tops the time when I forgot to get my scroll from the Chancellor during IMU graduation.

And people ask me what's my secret in seeming to be always "in control". If only they knew.

Just another normal occurence to happen in the life of The Person With The Wandering Brain (coz sometimes I wonder where it wanders off to).
