Timbre
Celebrated Zhimin's birthday at this cool place called Timbre. I never really knew about its existence before today, but apparently I'm kinda sua ku and slow as quite a few people know about the place. The food was said to be costly, but it turned out to be reasonable. And taking into account that the food was really good, the price was actually even better than being reasonable. I had the most special fish and chips ever today. Once again, company was good, and the whole place was a nice place to chill.
About a year and a half ago, I stepped into arts club and mc with a xinyu, nick and lionel, all from arts camp 06 releka. And then when FOP come, zhimin joined us, and I am glad for both himself and the people around him that he made this decision to join us. The birthday celebration, the wonderful time, and the people who turned up today says it all. The wonders and beauty of that word called friendship :)
Well and just like that, half of the recess break is kind of over. And from the start of the semester to this point, I dare say that I have done probably only 10% of what I did at this point of time last semester, and the same applies to stress level. Having only one mid term doesn't help my cause to buck up, although I see a long line of assignments waiting to pounce on this 'freedom' I am currently experiencing.
Oh, and interview was, I would say shorter than I expected. I think I did ok, but it kinda all ended much faster than I expected, so much so that I felt that there was so much more that I could have said. But oh well, I was honest in my answers and opinions, and if I don't get it, I will just have to accept the fact that the rest beat me to it. I don't know why, but after coming out of the interview, I felt an even greater urge to want to get this internship. Crossing my fingers, hoping a positive reply will come from them soon. Hopefully friends like Shuping and Bingde will get theirs too.
Thanks to hock, we managed to have a dota session. It was fun, although I felt kinda tired and saturated towards the end. Starting to wonder how I used to survive 13 hours of straight lan gaming back in my secondary school days. Despite the fun and laughter from all the killing, there was a flip side though. To be honest, I think we had more fun playing as a team against the computers, than against each other. It was definitely more challenging, but in my honest opinion, not very healthy. To put it simply but crudely, its like 'having fun at the expense of the other'. Winning and losing is part and parcel of gaming, but so are the joys and frustrations brought about by winning and losing. I have personally seen tempers lost due to gaming, and how small gestures like jokes or taunts have been interpreted wrongly. I have also seen how one can be a totally different person just because of a game, and be totally disinhibited from his real self. Ugly, unnecessarily ugly. All these for what? Nothing really. The toxic power of games can be real powerful.
