The Fringe of Uncertainty.

How annoying is AirAsia when it lags up right at the moment you're paying for your airline ticket. It fucks everything up. Oh what a hassle.

Recently I've been more involved in the Catholic youth. No ulterior motive there, just enjoy the company of other Catholics. I've always felt the connection between me and the Catholic church. The conservative and traditional way of worshiping God. It may have been due to my upbringing in a Chinese style, English speaking family. Not as strict as in a chinese family like many of my cousins and not as nonchalant as other liberal thinking english educated parents.

I wonder is this really the thesaurus method that my Design Studio tutor has been preaching of expanding topics.

Oh what a semester it has been.
I got a job after two years of mum nagging me, our little group of architects is more defined that ever, I joined the church youth band and I'm going to run a 12km marathon in 3 weeks.

The Job
--------
Nothing really hard about this. "Easy job" - as my superior likes to say every time he explains a chore to me. The money is barely enough but food is provided and anything left over is for keeps. Though not really achieving my target of financial independence, it does lessen the burden on my bank account.

the Little Group of Sexy Architects
-----------------------------------
There's no denying it. Cliques can either strengthen or isolate people. I have first hand experience of being deserted one too many times but there's this instinct in me; that I need to plan things to do as a group and that the group needs an identity.
I've been doing that since form4, creating group activities, naming our group, and even a few times ex-communicating people. I'm virtually a Nazi =\


I have no idea where I got this trait from. In primary school, being with the cool kids must have planted the seed of dictatorship. I was never at the top, always following the crowd, playing follow the leader. And now as a young adult, I push my ideals onto other people. And I get upset when others hijack my plan and distort it. Still I'm trying to change, to be more democratic and listen to others.

I really enjoy being with these bunch of people. Everyone's so different and yet similar in our thoughts and passion. 3 guys and 3 girls. Equilibrium. Balance. We need to hang out more so that after 5 years of studying architecture, we can tell our kids about the wonderful people whom we studied with back when we were young.

Church youth
------------
Now this is something new for me. I have never wanted to belong in a Youth group. It's not like I have bad memories, only that I didn't enjoy sharing myself to others for God. I've been in a few youths prior to this and not one that i stuck with longer than a year. I've felt stronger being in Adelaide, stronger in a sense of my devotion to God. It's the whole ordeal of transplanting into a new place with no familiar faces. The only one you can lean on and share your thoughts is God. Now I don't claim to be a religious person or a pious one and I may lack knowledge to quote bible verses to others, but one thing I know is that I love God and want to be saved from my daily temptations and sins.

To be in love is to look at someone and feel happy. The lack of reasoning. You don't have to have an urge to be with that person and to date them and be officially together. No, on the contrary the love between friends is so much more powerful than a love originating from a crush.
