The first week without them

Moving on is a process that is easier to be said than done. It is even harder when the ones whom you had fallen out with were the closest friends of all. Nevertheless, I gotta be less emo and looking forward to more things in my life. Afterall, emotions played a huge factor that resulted in those silly damages in these long friendships.

What is meant to be, it will mean to be. Everything happens for a reason.

I completed my first marathon in my lifetime in 6.5 hours. It's a kind of self-achievement and kinda surprise to complete it as there's not much trainings leading to the marathon. Definitely, I will rally more people in joining me for marathons, be it Standard Chartered or Adidas Sundown.

Work's been fulfilling, challenging and great after the start of the mass-checkout period. All along, I have great company with my fellow colleagues, plus the return of the few temp staffs. However, I have been making silly mistakes in my work these days and need to more organize in my workload as always. Well, I definitely wanna create values at PGP before I resume my studies next year.

I started to exert myself into gakkai activities even more this week. I went for Lynette's dad's funeral last Tuesday. Upon hearing her dad's testimonial on how he struggled and fought his illness bravely in his lifetime, I realised that comparing to his fight against his illness, my problems is absolutely nothing! Went for TGIF meeting with ITAC last Friday, i have been missing the TGIF meetings though. We engaged in a dialogue for an interesting topic, as well as making plans of outings in the near future. Meanwhile, yesterday I went for my first training for the Soka Youth Musical. Although my role was just a minor role carrying the sedan chair for Toda Sensei, I feel proud to be part of the cast. Of course, a minor role also plays an important part in the musical.

Finally, I managed to catch with few of my pri sch mates, Qiaolin and Chuanxiong, for a KTV session over the weekdays. Although there were only 3 of us, it was quite a enjoyable session, although my singing form on that day really sucks. I wish there are more of us coming for such simple gatherings in the future. During the KTV session, I was being informed via phone with regards to the first Youth Olympics volunteers briefing for SSA members. I am really looking forward to be volunteering at the inaugural YOG, contributing to the hostings by the nation as well as meeting people from fellow volunteers to the young athletes throughout the world. My temp colleagues are joining YOG with their schools too.

I arranged for a dinner with Choonyan and Waihong after my SYM training. Along the way while waiting for the guys, I bumped into the poly girls, Dejun, SK, Zhilan and Linda, and decided to have the dinner together. It was quite value for money to have the steamboat session at Crystal Jade at Plaza Singapura, while it's been quite a good catch-up as it's been quite some time since I last saw the girls.

I have been listening to 失落沙洲 by 徐佳莹. This song, like other recent songs that I have been hearing, somehow explains my present feelings and present situation.

"我不是一定要你回来, 只是当又一个人看海; 回头才发现你不在, 留下我迂回的徘徊; 不是一定要你回来, 只是当又把回忆翻开; 除了你之外的空白, 还有谁能来教我爱..."
