know why i'm here?
i got tired after mugging a little physics for the test tomorrow.
what a ridiculous reason, huh.
been a while since last update, i realise. this entails a mesh of random thoughts thrown together in one post..
let's start with something spirit-lifting - rinp has got gold for UOPA! YEAH. the jubilation is badly expressed here so forgive me if i didn't come across as particularly excited or happy about it online. a recent mail from the area instructors show that in area 4, the only other gold unit's cat high. that's really impressive (for our unit to get such an achievement)! =DDD
admittedly, uopa may not be the most accurate indicator of how well a unit is doing, since the more abstract dimensions such as leadership and enthusiasm are hardly captured, but it is nonetheless heartening that we've bounced back from 2 years silver and just previous year's bronze back to gold. it shows that hope isn't dead, and it hasn't failed us yet. the knowledge of that itself is empowering.
i think human interactions matter alot in developing one's liking for an activity. if the interactions are fun and meaningful, the activity becomes similarly so, and vice versa. maybe that's why physics lab sessions can be fun, cause the 4 of us tablemates will always talk crap and link the apparatus to other...things. and the figurative nuances is just hilarious XD
watched 10 promises to my dog over the weekend. demonstrates excellently the innocence of both children and dog. heartwarming movie definitely. ah, and i was close to tears towards the end, at the scene where the dog was dying and the girl was beside it, looking at her 10 promises from 10 years back, reflecting on how she kept (or not) to each promise. the thing that sunk in the most was that, really, 10 years is hardly enough time together. which made me think, if they can find 10 years insufficient, what are 2 mere years of jc life? it'll really all be gone in a flash, and we'll find ourselves sorely missing those opportunities that we let pass us by. regret, regret is the watchword.
my stamina seems to be deteriorating rather rapidly. i'm tired every day of the week, by like 9pm. that's terrible, because it means you can hardly do much before you feel on the brink of collapse. i know, it's alot about the mind, but how easy is it to persuade your mind otherwise when it keeps popping flags up saying "i need the bed!" ? my initial lead in tutorials is getting eroded away...soon it'll be playing catch-up. no don't let that happen; but i'm bogged down by alot of stuff throughout the next few weeks. are you kidding me? j2 year seems one heck of a busier year than j1 year, and i'm not even talking about academics yet.
today, i wondered 5 years down the road, what would rinpcc look like. the same? better? worse? even though we're trying our best to keep the legacy living on, i realised that it really depends on the kind of successors we can find. you can preach and persuade but if in their hearts they don't have a place or close to that for npcc, nothing will shift their stands. that almost makes it sound like we're making a moot effort to implement something that could come to nought in just a couple of years, but no, we're still going ahead anyway.
you create something because you love it enough to see it come into existence.
in some sense, this line encompasses the nobility (or some call it stupidity) of love.

Right Here Right Now - High School Musical 3 Lyrics
Mmm, yeah
Yeah yeah
Can you imagine?
What would happen?
If we could have any dream
I'd wish this moment
Was ours to own it
And that it would never leave
Then I would thank that star
That made our wish come true (come true) oh yeah
'Cause he knows that where you are
Is where I should be too
CHOURS:
Right here, right now
I’m looking at you and my heart loves the view
'Cause you mean everything
Right here, I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there’s you and me
If this was forever what could be better?
We already proved it was
But in 2,123 hours A bend in the universe
Is Gonna make everything
In our whole world change (it’s our change, yeah)
And you know that where we are
Will never be the same oh no
CHORUS:
Right here, right now
I’m looking at you and my heart loves the view
Cause you mean everything
Right here, I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there’s you and me
Oh we know its coming
And it’s coming fast
(As long when there’s you and me) (Oh yeah)
So let’s make every second last, make it last!
Right here, oh right now
Yeah, I’m looking at you and my heart loves the view
'Cause you mean everything
Right here, I promise you somehow
That tomorrow can wait for some other day to be (to be)
But right now there’s you and me
(you and me)
Ohh you and me
But right now there’s you and… me!
