Brand New Day: Myself to live with

I'm back from Southampton! We saw the Titanic museum and spent time at the Ocean Village. It sounds exciting, but the city itself was pretty underwhelming. I did get to meet and talk to some freshers though!



I am embarassed to face some of my friends. Upon reading my diary, I find out that I am supposed to be on good terms with some people, and bad with others, but for some reason I feel the other way round. I feel like a man, plucked from the past and placed into the present, and that the person in between was an imposter running my life. Does that makes sense? It certainly does not.

Meeting up with my VInE commitee recently, I was angered when one of the members made an off-colour comment. It took some level of self-control to not react and lose myself. I shudder to think who I really am.

I pray that God will lead me and guide me, through these brand new era of my life. And I know He will.

Brand New Day: The return of what?

It's our biggest plan ever. And I'm proud to be part of it. Together with my fellow brothers-and sisters-in-Christ, we will be holding the biggest Mission Week event ever in London form 25th January to 29th January 2010. It is a grand idea by 4 London Universities, and I pray it will succeed.

My laboratory partner, Andee remarked I was not myself during the practical sessions this week. I was inattentive, appeared confused looked tired most of the time. Was I better in the past? From his body language, I guessed I was.

I met with past friends at All Souls Church on Thursday, and I struggled to recall all of them. When questioned, I confessed that I felt that I was losing part of my memory. Embarassed, I did not say further.

Whie in the washroom in school today, I thought I was a sudden movement behind me and I spun around. I was alone. Upon returning to the sink to wash my hands, a sudden thought crept into my mind. I felt as if I am a different person, and I am behind someone else's skin.

I blame it on fatigue. Maybe I need more rest.

Brand New Day: A busy week

I am so glad to have finally done up my report. Looking at my timetable, I do have a busy week. I have been doing laboratory practicals all week, and will continue to do so till the end of the week, have a Christian Union Fresher Event later today and will be in Southampton on Saturday. To sum it all off I have a VInE meeting on Sunday.

Will I have time for my work? At least I do not have any assignments due soon. I'm thankful for that.

Was I this busy in the past? I do not know. All I know it is a brand new day, and I'm ready for challengers.

Brand New Day: Scrambled eggs in the morning

One morning, I awoke. For no intelligent reason, I just felt like eating scrambled eggs in the morning. And I did. It's weird how after school started, I feel like I'm starting life anew.

As I start classes, my aching mind struggles to keep up, but at least I know it's working. After class, I stay back to quiz my peers and lecturers on the issues I do not fully grasp. I bump into old friends and catch up on times long past. I try to recall, but at times, to their amusement, I babbled incorrect information. I make new friends, and do my best to help them familarise with their surroundings.

It's like the first day of the rest of my life again.

Disassembled: Brand New Week

I bumped into Albert on Tuesday, and we caught up much. Speaking about our own future, I admire his resolve and uncompromising values. He was so sure and determined to get what I want.

When was the last time I was like that? I remember making decisions in shades of gray, never knowing if I did the right thing at times.

Now that school has started proper, I feel like a beginner again, as I struggle to graspe concepts and stayed back after class to discuss the lectures with my friends. Was I like that in Year1? I do not recall being like that in Year 2.

It's a brand new week for me, and even though I cannot remember what I was like in the past. I am making new jokes, making new friends and reading new stuff. It's time to make new memories.
