unabashed
January 4, 2009
I am cleaning up my room when I stumbled upon some notes, postcards, letters & cards I’ve received from friends recently, mainly from dental school. & I am touched, rereading the lines over & over.
A note, made from chicken rice box cut in the form of a rectangle. A fragment of a fulscap paper, bearing a face with huge eyes. That one was classic. I couldn’t bear to discard it. A very pretty card, enclosed with several photos in it. A postcard with trees. A card containing sweet well wishes from everyone. A letter, that moved me greatly and made me ashamed as well. A series of small squares in the form of cue cards.
This is one of the sweetest things girls conceive. Okay, conceive is a bad word. This is one of the sweetest things girls come up with.
I must remember when I’m feeling like crap or when my patience is tipping I must recall all these little gestures and refrain from issuing curt or snide remarks, or treat the person shabbily.
okay, now to bed. After all, I’m not writing any Space, Time, Motion papers.

Fridays are always the best part of the week. Of course, unless you’re in retirement, or you’re a 4 year old kid. (which means you probably will not be reading this anyway)
RP lab passed extremely quickly today.
Jesus Camp: Not as disturbing as I thought. It’s more about evangelism than about christianity. And lol, on board we had eggy representing an objective voice from +++ ,and Shahira fronting the Islam house. Oh yes, and not forgetting me, lambasting chinese traditional worship in free reign. (mum will probably slap me front right centre if she ever hear of it)
We did not discuss alot. More like spending the lazy afternoon in one another’s company, heads on laps. Laidback rhythym. Playing rounds after rounds of hearts, big 2 and bridge. I sucked at bridge. Which is why i find it so fun. We continued into the night with cards and online shopping til about 10 plus.
During our train ride, i think i gave too much away.
I feel very contented to be in the company of some of the most wonderful people in dental school. The friends in my circle are such great people. We shared the same line of humour. (though it takes getting used to for some, hur hur) They’re real helpful and generous beings. And there’re people to confide in, be it nasty thoughts or simply private jokes. I hope our circle of trust will continue to be in tight fists and lips.
It takes alot of support and trust. And i feel secretly happy when i think back about me nearly verging on being he and it did not happen in the end.
By the way, this is georgina.
