table

As I sat at the table outside LT6 today, I remembered the days when that spot was my favourite spot, just sitting there mugging away while people came and go and I said hi-bye to ppl I know, while chit-chatting with closer friends when they drop by.

For the first time this sem, I sat at that spot. Nothing's changed, its still a spot where people come and go, ppl say hi, ppl stay around to do work together, people drop by to chit-chat. It serves as a reminder that you still have a lot of friends out there, and everyone is just working as hard as you, or perhaps even harder, and all are just as stressed up about FYP or other school-related stuff.

Just noting down what happened at the table today, so that years down the road, I'll still remember the times when there were lotsa friends in my life, although that doesn't mean that in the future I'll have less friends, but who knows about the future. At least when I look back on this day, it'll put a smile on my face when I remember these friends right now that make my uni life that much more enjoyable in year 4. Decided to put the names in abbreviations, so that in the future when I read this, hopefully I still remember most of them, and to show that they really mattered to me.

After FYP meeting with my group mate, I went off in search of a place to spend the afternoon while waiting for the night's bball. I saw LH, then went to dily's with him to grab my coffee and headed back to find benches outside LT6. Then I saw my favourite spot empty, so yeah, just sat down and mugged away. Halfway through, kinda got bored so I started playing dota. D, C & J passed by and saw me playing, and owell, so they decided to go back to their lab and play there. Then came K who I was supposed to meet to discuss the Razer competition, while eating lunch and all. Didn't feel like moving so asked him to help me buy lunch :P. While he was gone, WT came and decided to join me at the table while she chiong her essay, pretty last minute chiong-ing if you ask me. Then K came back with my lunch and we just discussed over lunch. Halfway through discussing, M came by and sat down to chit-chat with WT. Kinda overheard their convo about WT having to do flash animation and I was damn tempted to offer my services so that I can train up my adobe flash skills at the same time in preparation for next sem's module. Then M left. Then a couple of hi-bye friends (oops). E came by and said hi, and I thought she wanted a treat haha. While doing work, WT commented on how distracting it is to sit outside LT6 and do work, cuz of the need to say hi and bye to ppl, and having to chit-chat and stuff. Well, agreed, but that's what makes uni fun I guess. Then EH came by when K was about to leave, then we started talking about dota, then Z & Y popped by too, and we started talking more nonsense. After Z & Y left, we started laughing at how WT was leaving everything till so last minute to do. Then started the random thing about finite time with infinite workload, and how finite burden can resolve infinite workload. WT left, EH left too soon after. Then I was left alone for awhile, felt kinda bored, so started playing dota2 again. Then C came by and sat down with a running nose. We ended up talking about his FYP and it was on-off dozing off for him cuz I was still playing. Then R came by and decided to sit down with me while she waits to go off for her dinner. Then came this surveyor who surveyed R for damn long, so I just ended up keeping myself busy by continuing to play so that she wun turn to me after she's done. But after R was done with her survey, I was still playing so end up we didn't talk at all! sorry! Then everyone left, and I was just chilling with my com, when suddenly, BSOD! =.= Long time since that happened to my com, guess its really too hot outside LT6 that the com overheat. Oh, and saw ZJ pass by saying that I'm still there. Saw S also, who commented that I'm always there, when in fact today's the only time I'm at my spot.

Well well, there's the story of the table. And it pretty much symbolize the life we have. Life is like you sitting at a table, friends come and go, some stay with you for a longer period of time, some shorter. Everyone have their own agendas, own ways to live their lives, no one can stay with you forever. Some people touch your life for a brief moment and leave the next. But life goes on, you'll still sit at that table, while friends come and go. There are moments when you are alone, but then again, you can always look back at happier times and treasure those moments that were nice.

And well, since I've talked about the morning and afternoon, I might as well talk about the night as well!

Basketball was once again, fun like always. Except that today towards the end I got kinda pissed at those strangers that we played with. They were so freaking rough! I'm usually okay with rough play, but this was really too much. Purposely nudging people out, knee-ing ppl, elbow-ing. Worst of all, although it may not be intentional but I'm guessing it was, stepping in when I'm landing from a jump to make me fall in an awkward position, ended up spraining the side of my foot. I played on despite the injury, cuz why shld I bow down to such acts?

Then came the moment in my life where for the first time, I feel like beating up a woman. I was thinking, well, since she's a girl, there's no point body blocking or charging at her, just chill and play. But then I was wrong, never look down on girls you don't know, and look tomboy-ish, oh, and play bball. Elbows, body blocks, purposely banging into me, etc. All the rough plays you can think of, I'm pretty sure she can do it. At first I was like, alright, its alright, just play on. But then there was this play where she just charged into me when I was standing still and cuz I wasn't prepared for any collision at all, I was caught off guard and was pushed back a bit. WTH, I got totally pissed off and from then on, my mindset changed and decided that hey, we're not playing against 3 guys + 1 girl, we're playing against 4 guys. Game-mode on, that's it. Oh, and I injured my palm while saving a ball. Pretty much sums up the bball game today, just injuries, and bad mood caused by rough play. =/

Owell, time to sleep! 4am le! omg
