I was once again..late for a few minutes for my Jap tut. Lucky I got my hoodie to cover my head or else I must be soaked under the rain on my way to my tut. I was sitting with a complete new group. This girl seems so pro in Japanese as she even taught me something I got confused with. Then the remaining half an hour was for us to revise all the kanji we've already learned from the lecture. As a former kanji sensei from last semester, I raised my hand for continuing my job in the class when the tutor asked. So I am responsible for this white girl's kanji this semester. She came and sat next to me asking something she found difficult with the kanji. I asked her to show me her writing, and she quickly took out her notebook, writing up a few kanji with close book. All in a sudden, I was a bit shocked of how neat and pretty her kanjis are. Normally westerners are more likely to have problems to write Chinese characters, but for her, I see none. She's a quick learner who is capable to remember the proper stroke orders and from how I've told her to keep the balance of each part of the kanji, she then would fix her own problem when she re-wrote them the second time. Her listening is really good as well. During the dictation time, I was also having trouble with some katagana, she told me the phrase that I wrote should be with a dash, the extending sound. And she asked me where to get my rings because she loves them all lol...as well as my headset that she loves the most..
After Jap tut, I texted Ailin to have lunch together. She called me up and told me that she had to discuss her project with her friends. So I was actually sitting there with her and her group mates the whole time for their discussion. Surprised that I found that one of her group mates is also my friend who I was with in my tut last semester. We both were shocked getting to reconnect each other through Ailin lol...I left with Ailin as she had to attend class later at 1.
Then I headed to the canteen alone to get my lunch. I went back to the library to do my work afterwards. My goal today was to finish readings for international security and I failed to do so because halfway through this boring reading sesh, I started to look elsewhere because couple hot people were sitting around me...
Dinner time with mum at night has sent me to that hysterical zone of both warm family talk combined with depressing death talk after I told her this famous comedian, Robin William found dead in his apartment by the police yesterday...Yes, this film producer, actor, comedian passed away because of the long period of time he has been trapped in depression caused him no longer see hope in his life. Fame, money, lust of power etc are all gone with his death. What's left here for the ones alive to understand is that depression occurs to everyone, no matter how strong you are, how much popularity you've gained, even you are one of the funniest people on this earth. There is no best method to cure, or to make depression go away, outsiders can never get how you truly feel, but you, are the only one to help yourself out. We all have been through that moment when helplessness we feel within us makes us become irresponsive towards others....But then again, we ain't alone. We might not able to get someone out of a dilemma, the best we can do is to BE with them, GIVE them a hug, quietly LISTEN to their inner voice when they want to vent out, DO what they want you to do. If a true relationship is valued, we feel things without words...
