x A Saturday with Morrie x
I like to read articles dat r thought-provoking, thanks to my sec sch Lit teacher Ferdinand Quek. Happened to pickup a book yesterday call "Tuesdays with Morrie" from Brandon, & Im so sure many of u had read it b4 me le. Spent a few hrs reading it, but only reaching page 54 b4 returning to him. Why I take so long is becuz everytime I read something worthy of thinking I will put down the book, close my eyes & think bout it, to fully absorb the literary effects of the lines.
It amazes me how the author was able to write such vivid details of the past dat he had temporarily locked away while pursuing his fame n fortune. Or mayb he made them up. It doesnt matter to me. What matters was that the images dat popped in me head were always warm n enriching.
The book wasnt enriching, it was a medium to make me think bout my past, & from the past I drew lessons. Apparently the lessons were always present, yet I had turned a blind eye on them. The contents of my drawer were treasurely-filled, yet I was lazy to force it open. But the words of the book handed me the key.
At the end of page 54, Brandon asked me how was it. I said ok lor. & then I realised, what ashamed me was nt the emotions n tears dat I will show to him, but the emotions n tears I hid away from him. A half-read book had gave me much insights, yet I did nt want him to know. I did nt want him to ask bout my thoughts. Its like pushing away a caring fren cuz he's too caring. The heart appreciates it but the mind rejects it.
Anyway, my Coxswain had asked me to extend another month for Ex. Rimba. No wonder he had given me free flights back Singapore in late Oct as a reward, n to reject this extension will b 忘恩负义 of me. Hence, the possibility of me returning for X'mas n chalet might b slightly diminished, & to dat I can only apologise. I know u folks will still have fun without me!
In comparison, the extra $1,800 I get lessens my sadness. After readin the book dat encourages one to see dat "Love always win", looks like Im still eyeing fortune after all. Im quite a confused fellow. 20 yrs n still confused in life.
问题不在于问题的本身，而是在于本身的问题
