I’m actually kind of touched by the support my friends, the rovers, the scouts and mfgg alumni had given us. In those two weeks or so, it had actually kept me strong.

And this is very random, in my computer project, because my group was doing a database project and we decided to put ourselves as the professors in the data (we were supposed to do a database on a fake college)and as qualifications, I have a masters in philosophy.LOL. nice! Ph.D would sound a lot nicer though. :) so lame.
Hanging around with Xinyi has also got me thinking, about how people show that they care for you. Ah well, most of it depends on their character and personality. But either way, this quote keeps on ringing inside my head
“give a person enough time, and he/she will impress you”. And their act of caring for me can make me impressed.
Anyhow, the more observant people can spot the subtle hints of care-ness(is there such a word anw?), for others, it’s my way or the highway. In other words, they can only spot the obvious signs of it. Personally, the ultimate litmus test for me, is during camps and in such camp-like situations. Because you are forced to face adversity together, that feeling of feeling worried and concerned about your team-mates will gradually come out. At times, you will also feel protective towards them and vice versa. The subtle hints will become quite obvious, I guess. Ultimately, people express it in different ways, as Andreas quoted “not showing it doesn’t mean you don’t miss it.” Not showing you care doesn’t mean you don’t care, you just act too well to show that you don’t care, that’s all. Opening an old wounds, might be too painful at times, it’s easier to just close it and “let it heal.”2:49am! I’ve got to sleep! Got to rush the idiotic art journal and tution homework by Thursday.shit!
