Saturday, November 14, 2009 @ 4:45 AM: Time flies indeed!
Just as I was talking to Caleb, he couldn't believe he is coming to Cambridge tml for Oxbridge games, and I feel exactly the same as well! Lots of things happened just within these days, and somehow when u are busy all the while, there is hardly time to reflect...
I was reading Classics in Total Synthesis II, and right in the introduction chapter: "After all, every molecule, just like a person, is the unique sum of its individual parts. Its physical characteristics, its personality if you will, emerge from the specific combination of its atoms, bonds and stereocenters;
to remove or alter just one of these items would be essentially the same as a close friend transforming into a complete stranger." I reckoned that particular incident had hit quite hard at me from the start of term, and while I could do nothing about some issues, I'm perhaps just disappointed at the way things turn out. Too many questions, perhaps the best answer is no answer.
On the other hand, there had been pple who had shown an "interesting" side about them which I really wonder what to say about them. Sometimes we may curse at what the army does, but one impt thing it does is to make you see how things really work and for me, I have developed a greater interest into how pple think, what they will think and their attitudes compared to the past. Anyway a good chat has brought me some questions... Does the pot calling the kettle black really help things (I mean one should always take a good look at YOURSELF before commenting on others)? Adding really unnecessary comments without thinking? Sometimes we may be so prone to making such silly mistakes or just overlook your own self and think you're perfect, but it is a timely reminder as the way it is.
Essentially this shall bring me to my msn message "Some people are not worth it, some are." I know some friends are there to help and are warm and would always seek to think from your point of view; others just make use of you as part of their chasing for ever more portfolios or good results. Some friends would always lend you their shoulders to lie on when you are sad, while some would ditch you and ignore you completely while begging for your help when it arises, with the "thanks" from the mouth and the eyes showing otherwise. Body language speaks a lot. Everyday action speaks volumes. And saying "You are my big saviour" only after getting ur help just appears so fake.
I wouldn't want to misplace my trust into friends who do not deserve it, while I am always grateful to those who have been so ever truthful and believe in friendships.
thank you for bringing me memories...
