A feeling of nostalgia is taking over me. Today is the judgement day for all J1s. Joy was shared and some tears were shed. The exact scene from last year, from the year before, and from long ago. The only difference? Different people are 'acting' every year...
It was my stage last year, and I'm watching the same play again this year. From the audience seat.
The anticipation, the moment, and the after-effect.
Some would have their dreams come true, some have their dreams shatters. Others see their expectations materialized.
Though it wasn't really a good moment for me last year, the same day in 2006, for me, impacted me alot.
Now that I realized it's been ONE whole year knowing my laogong aka yongyi! Our first encounter with each other was the day before judgement day last year, sometime around midnight. What a NICE timing for first acquaintance heh. We played our first game - well known Bridge hahaha! And we celebrated our one year anniversary last night... With only slightly more than four hours of sleep after that.
Alright I was TOLD to type this.
Yongyi aka my laogong is FEEDING me seaweed. And she's proud of that fact.
Yupp so back to the judgement day topic. This year the scholars community as a whole did surprisingly well. Well done and kudos to those who did well yeah. Hmm.. I wonder why we, ok I, did so.. Not satisfactori-ly last year... Hmm... Must think.. Think..
I want to say this. Perhaps I've been keeping a relatively good temper and have been constantly showing high levels of consideration for the people around me, some of them actually got so used to it that they begin to take my tolerance and patience and temper for granted. I may not explicitly show how I feel because I suppose you will go reflect on what you did. I may be the one always giving in for the benefit of everybody else, but there's always a limit. Don't take eveyrthing for granted or you'll cross the line of no return.
And when that happens, you may see an Ivy you've never seen before.
So far I think I have only lost my temper ONCE. And that wasn't a pleasant surprise.
