There are still things worth cherishing

I had a chat with Thomas early this week, and got chided by him for still staying at Arts club to him. To him, the club is an insignificant piece of **** that I should disregard. As I have always raised in my defence that I have already learnt to let go of a few things,and have since told him that Rag is the only project that I am heavily involved in,he accepted it, albeit very grudgingly. Frankly, I am not sure what will happen for the next few days, but the road is certainly bumpy enough.

The point is that I hope he understands as much as I do that for everything in life, each of us does something because we know that we will cherish the memories of not just the fruits of success, but more importantly the process that goes along with it.

Take last night's example. Seeing Yuimin as the leading actress in Eusoff Hall's production, "Runway", was a great revalation. For as long as I know her, her performance that she put up yesterday was highly remarkable. She really acted out of her skin in her own role that eventually brought the crowd to rapturous applause at the end of it all. And at the end of it all, I could see her relief and joy in her face, and me and a few friends who came down to support her will readily admit that it was very worth it. The point is, the reason why Yuimin joined the production and succeeded, is the very same reason to why I am doing Rag: It's as much as the process, not just the result that matters. To me, the process is what moulds me as a person, and how I learn something more about myself yet again.

The same reason is also why I am embarking my trip to Boston. It is the very fact that I have not been involved in a major conference and will like to feel what it is like to do it. The thing about Rag is that every Rag is not the same. It's a totally different project. I understand Thomas's point about what Rag means to my cv, but the point of it is that I am not doing Rag because of my cv: in life, there are just some things that you will do again and again, because every time you do it, it's a new experience altogether. Hope Thomas can understand my point here.

Ok, I am getting a bit distracted here. But once again, regarding Yuimin's performance, I can only sum this up in one word: Magnificent. Nothing else can better describe her performance other than that.

This is not my final post to Boston, just in case you were wondering, as I will definitely put up one more before I fly off in about 48 hours time. Anyway, here are details for my trip just in case you are wondering:

Flyoff: 0600, 14/2/06 Return: 0040, 25/2/06

So yup, just take note of the times...for security reasons I will not reveal my flight numbers here...but I can tell you that the departure hall is at T1.

My Valentine's Day post tomorrow will be very special...considering the fact that I have been writing anti V-Day articles, so this time round I will be writing this in a very different manner. Keep your fingers crossed then, as all will be revealed tomorow. : )
