flip side .

GET OVER IT GET OVER IT
GET OVER IT GET OVER IT

GET OVER IT GET OVER IT


_______________

long day .
really long .

but beautiful .

aside from the rampant
attempt at studying ,

and the grateful moments of talking
me out of my subliminal flow of emotions
(thanks to hong siew and cheryl ,
along with eileen for talking me out these few days)

i met this boy , Navin .

he wanders around the college at odd hours
with such consistency that almost everyone recognises him .

but doesnt know him .

i knew him on occasions during rugby trainings
as a very curious and naughty boy .
but never more till just now .

cheryl , hong siew and i invited him over to our table
while eating , as he waded pass our canteen as usual .

his smile was so sincere .

i believe he suffers from mild cerebral palsy ,

and knowing his condition ,
he definitely liked the attention and concern he received .

talking to him was a chore but never a burden .
his innocence (though as a 16 year old boy)
is angelic .
and his intelligence , is way beyond believable .

though his speech and movement impaired to an extent
beyond understanding through usual means .
he made an effort to communicate with us through his gestures ,
attempts at enunciating words ,
and especially his smiles .

and when he knows we will not understand ,
he made the effort
and traveled home
to bring us a little torn piece of notebook cover that spells his school .

touching .

he operated all of our handphones , almost as instantly as he picks it up .
camera functions , music players , dialling , even GPRS .
wow .

his persistence is immense .

_______________

perhaps its a blessing , his simplicity and innocence .
not knowing how harsh the world truly is .

but prospectively , he views the world as a beautiful place .

sweet innocence .

_______________

sounds like an autobiography .

but those almost 2 hours we spent with him was ,
i will say ,
heartwarming .

lifechanging even .
perhaps situational in my case .

but he really cheered my up .
broke quite a few of my chains bounding me .

Milky Way Galaxy .
exposed digitally , this is what the night sky will yield .

and even under naked eye conditions and superb weathers
and atmosphere ,
one can actually SEE the milky way band .

_______________

and once again .
thank you all of which who have talked me out of my previous
situation .

time to sort things out .
