so much has happened. so much i have experienced and felt. so much to think about. that im left gasping for breath, trying to overcome that tightness in the chest that comes with stress. of late, ive been tenking abt what i do everyday. and then this quote from bryce courtenay's Tandia stuck with me for a long while. to digress quite abit, this is the sequel to his novel The Power of One, centered around the art of boxing, the magic of Africa and the struggle between good and evil. and i tenk ultimately i hold his books so dear to me is how he portrays ordinary people fighting for a dream, how dreams can really take flight with determination, and the essence of humanity thats omnipresent throughout. his books combine storytelling with an ability to make me reflect really deeply on issues that are hidden within the stories. the same goes for Aprils Fool Day, a book about his son who suffered from AIDS, a book with much abt love. so yes, i love the way he writes, the amazing details, and how he can make me cry and laugh and reflect simply with words. one of these lines would be this. 'Both sat in their corners knowing that they'd spent it all, that there were no more tricks. From now it was heart; there was nothing else to give'. this is for the last round in a match btw two fantastic boxers, one white and one black who respected each other greatly and were closer than brothers. its just the heart. and nothing else besides that, would matter much. and isnt that the most important thing in the world? thats how we all get thru with our lives. at least, i tenk thats how it should be. find something that you can sustain with just the heart alone, and then you know you have found everything u will ever need. you might face troubles, obstacles, lotsa crap. but the heart will make ends meet. sometimes it'll seem like theres no light at the end of the tunnel. but there is. on days like this, look deep inside yourself and ask yourself the reason for doing this in the first place. and that is my belief. my credo. my conviction. ive found mine, in the magic of musicmaking. the sparks that fly when u meet a fellow musician u can create magic with. the rewards of teaching. the simple, calming joy of music. all these are intangible, but it fills me much. (: and im pretty hyped up these days. i love the adrenaline rush of planning for things. in especially these recitals. and i pray that they'll be wildly successful haha. on the other hand i regret taking up some jobs, but then again its been my principle. never change my mind. its part stubborn and part principle. cos i know how sucky it feels to get people who make promises and turn their backs on you. so i'll give my best and continue doing so till i cannot tahan it anymore. hahaha. it was a bad bad day on sunday. four pieces of bad news in a day. i felt really helpless, and it makes me go crazy. not being able to help. not being able to make things better. i felt their hearts breaking. and the tears flowed. to my dearest friend mr.vogue and your family, especially aunty Kat, stay strong and know that all of us will be here for you always. anytime. the same goes to dihui. you have my deepest condolonces. and now, im hoping for the best for gu gu my aunt, and first grandaunt. i love you guys. my mummy and papa. my two sisters. my grandaunts. my grandma. the aunts and uncles. the cousins. and the bestestfriends. the securityuncles and cleaning ladies in nafa. the sunshine-y owners. all the kids and musicians ive worked with. random people ive befriended. and you. thankyou for being in my life.
