There has been many little but significant moments that I happened to encounter for the past 6 days.
It all started when Andrew, my college tutor gave me a call to attend Asia Film Week for free. As in the college is paying. There is so much to say about what happened, so many tiny details to elaborate, but I think I’ll just summed up what I had experience.
1. Friday – I got lost twice on my way to the event in KL. And people like me are hopeless with directions, always having to flip the map at least 10 times. I did what I could since my spatial skills is absolutely lousy – Ask for directions.
I asked
5 college guys,
2 security guards,
1 Malay lady,
1 Malay guy who gave me the wrong directions,
a druken looking taxi driver which was totally blur,
and a bus driver.
whoopee I got there.
2. Saturday – I only got an autograph from Peter Watkins, director of Prison Break, X files, CSI, Smallville…directed a few episodes of each show, like what most TV directors would do. He taught us about capturing moments on films, capturing emotion and humanity in people, capturing the human soul on camera. This holiday is gonna be tons of CSI for me. My favourite speaker, definitely.
3. Sunday - Chun Siang and I got lost again. (Ish? how can u get lost on the 3rd day?) Ended up being the late Malaysian that we all love to criticize. I was teasing Hee Chung and Chun Siang about the pretty girl that they were ogling over. ahaaha. Bet them to introduce themselves to her but I end up meeting her friend, Purdy and got her to introduce us to the pretty girl, Tris. HEE CHUNG, CHUN SIANG YOU OWE ME BIG TIME!!!
4. 15 minutes later, I received a message from Jason explaining Miss Veronica Ho has passed away from cancer. Before that Purdy was talking to me about her. A bit on the hit of my head somehow. I couldn’t concerntrate on the seminar.
5. The seminar was a 3 full day event in KL which led me to be quite exhausted after every train ride. Having tons of assignment being lag behind. But I met quite a few people from 8TV, ntv7, National Geographic, History Channel, and people who does your Facebook games.
6. Monday – Jason sms me the address of the Memorial Service. I ended up completing 70% of my animation to be handed up to Tahir. I couldn’t care less. Esther, Yun Shin, Chee Hau and I attend the service at night. Another trip to KL, here we go.
Btw, this is one of the most luxurious service I had ever attend to. And we were the only students there. It was hard to untangle the emotions I felt. I don’t know her that well, but I just finished a seminar that got me inspired to hope and dream, and then later on I felt a bit lost and stunned.
Darren ask me on my absence in church and faithstation. I have not been attending FCC for the past 4 weeks. If I list down my excuses then it would be too much to explain. (I hate giving excuses) Lets just say every Friday I’ll do my homework until 5 am and fall asleep on Saturday afternoon till the evening. Seminar last week and 4 weeks ago my sis birthday. For faith station, it has been pouring like mad this past few weeks. And I do have this sorta thing that I hate to do – drive to college even when I don’t have class, wasting 40 minutes front and back. I am attending regular mass with my sisters and my mom. And recently, my relationship with my mom has been quite good.
7. Tuesday – It rains like nobody’s business. Quite moody that I could not to go out in the evening. But I did something I did not do for such a long time, in fact, I had not done this for the whole year – stare outside my window to feel the cold breeze, letting out every form of hidden unhappiness, hidden unsatisfation, hidden tiredness and weariness, hidden uncertainties, hidden anger. Let time fly by instead of chase after time. Talking to God honestly about how I feel.
7. Today – Fay told us her testimonial on her trip to Cambodia during prayer meeting. Man, I really need to go for one. She showed us a video clip that made me think about it the whole day. I really think it’s far more worthwhile going for missionaries first before getting into the workforce.
