campus life is indeed a lot different than high school/elementary school life. I was at school yesterday from 9-9, but I did not even remember seeing or having the slightest reminders that it was Remembrance Day, I think that's actually quite sad. There were no assemblies, no times of silent (during 11), no music, no posters, just A&W was the only place that had poppies.

Remembrance Day is a day where we remember those who had fought for peace, sacrificed their lives for us yet as students of a (quite prestigious) university, we always talk about peace through classes in Political Science (and other studies). I cannot believe we had neglected this date. Sure there were signs of poppies, but only a few wore them, the few I came across less than 20 people who wore poppies.

I feel ashamed to find out it was Remembrance day when I got home at 10 last night when I went on Facebook and a friend (who is currently attending high school) put on his status "Remembrance Day". Perhaps its the workload we get during this time... but still... that should not be an excuse.

These were just two simple words yet they had so much impact on me. The connection that he was a high school student and "Remembrance Day" reminded me of the school assemblies I use to attend to remember this day and most important what it means to us. It really makes me wonder why didn't anyone do anything about this day.... surely at least some windpipe music in the Student Centre... but not even a poster of a poem: in Flanders Field.

A phrase quickly flashes across my mind: if history is forgotten, it will repeat itself...

(this should have been posted a few days ago... Thursday to be exact :P)

the terrible busy week is quite over... just have one more econ lecture to watch... I'm so glad this week is finally over (referring to my school week)

so, I was browsing a friend's xanga and came across this quote:

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. 

~Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally"

this is such a meaningful statement, which makes me think, when will I experience this? still searching for my other half but honestly it isn't easy at all :(

****** was right, there are many many great guys out there, but to look for "the one" is not an easy thing.

 of course it can't be easy, there is only ONE person who could fit ourselves, or why call him/her "the one"? And even if you do meet "the one", only time will tell if that person is indeed "the one" for sure, and on top of everything it has to be the right timing as well.

I guess all we could do right now is to be patient and always pray for God's guidance :)
