Imagine this scene, in a third world country there is a sudden surge in the usage of power supply and all the energy produced in the powerplant is channelled to the source and then ... everything goes poof. [If you don’t get what I am driving at, I am referring to the entire city experiencing a blackout]
A similar scene occurred today, it reminds me of first year during debate when Wayne scolds me. During then, I was in the limelight ... meaning I was actually giving my speech and all of a sudden I just stop not knowing how to continue. I believe many people have this problem to ... losing your train of thoughts. I always felt that Asians can’t comprehend English conversations as well as Caucasians. Well perhaps it might be due to the different way in which we speak and the ability to focus. It’s like a channelling spell which can’t be interrupted.
Today was rather embarrassing because during class I was brainstorming and damn did the storm get too ugly and on impulse I raised my hand to pose a question and 5 minutes later, I see myself in front of the class trying to explain what I was asking and I did lose my train of thoughts when I was upfront. Some people don’t really get themselves involved in such discussions and perhaps they find the guy talking bullshit and no one understands him. Well, I admit it was my fault to waste everyone’s time ... oh well, life goes on
Every Friday, I would dash off after class way faster than usual because I had a tight schedule to keep up with. I make it a point to meet up with my secondary school friends to play basketball twice a week, the 8 – 12 of us would meet up frequently and play ball. It was something which I looked forward to each week. But after our ball game today, there came the bad news ... apparently we were going to meet up less frequently, only on Sundays. I never told them I was going to Australia to study and perhaps migrate there in the future, it was only till recently in which they found out. I always thought that when the day to leave were to come they would really miss me. However today was such a day in which they had to leave to do their work. Some had attachments while others are working. Instead of leaving them first, they left me first and I really miss them major big time. During my time in secondary school, because we were from different classes I did not manage to get to know them well, even till now I don’t really talk much but despite that they meant something to me. My strict training regime was to partly to impress them too, if they were to leave me who would share the joy with?
Sure... some might say “Hey Perry, your still gonna meet on weekends stop making it sound as though your not going to meet forever”. But the thing is that they mean a lot to me. Well will resume playing 3 months later, great... by then it’s January and school ends. It’s time for army worse still by the time we regroup, another group of friends leave me. With regards to the topic about friends, I guess time and circumstances determine who we meet and what happens next. Are friends just companions that see you through various phases of life? So... they come and go when circumstances change? I mentioned about envying some of my friends at times, because they can do what I can’t. Take for instance they are more independent than I am, some others can say what they want because their circumstances favours the outcome of what they have to say. Sigh... this reminds me of an old song “木鱼与金鱼” , the lyrics reminds me of “Circumstances”.
