just Bach and me.

tried to pull off the cellophane look...



lovely picturesque day (i know, niagara looks superimposed but its not)!

solitude in the law library now listening to Bach's Aria...It's amazing how desperately quiet this place is in the night when in the day it's filled with so much enrvous energy and motivation. I've been spending my evenings freeloading the facilities here (because i dont have a chocie OK) and getting pretty used to it. The world just slips you by whenever you are listening to Bach or Chopin. its as though you were watching a movie clip with an accompanying soundtrack -everything just automatically slows down and may even look beautiful.

spent the day doing trivial stuff... the neverending mundane matters of our world. Don't they ever end? I guess its for a good cause... i've already gotten approval for my semester here.. but it sounds like people back home aren't very happy with it. I suppose they think i'm just going to forget them and never come back altogether, which seems plausible for someone with my personality. But truth be told, i think they are more worried about forgetting me..thats the thing about people, they need those they love around to remind them of their presence. unfortunately for me, i've been cursed with the burden of memory. Contrary to what people think, i actually remember too much. i'm so nostalgic is not funny. i dont remember details but emotional substance which i think is much much worse. i actually need to remind myself to be detached.

Spent the thanksgiving weekend in Niagara and Toronto with the Singaporean bunch. The falls were as impressive as they are rumoured to be but i could'nt help feeling like a ripped off tourist with all the amusement parks and expensive food. i guess that's tourism for you, and that confirms my disdain for all of it. Toronto was another souless city... what more to comment except for the fact that there were so many asians in this western part of the world i actually felt like i was back home in Singapore.
