Within a blink of an eye, two weeks have passed without a new post. Man, Time, thou art speedy!
Why does Time feel like it passed so quickly? Don't people always say that when you're enjoying something, Time seems to move faster? Is that why I feel like Time passed so quickly? Or perhaps it's simply because I'm never aware of what I'm doing and hence Time passes by while I'm in robot mode -- so concentrated on doing things just for the sake of doing it? Either way, Time has passed and nothing I do can recover it.
Now that I think about it, the past two weeks definitely haven't been boring. Like the weather in Sydney lately, it has been quite unstable. I won't talk specifically about my feelings/mood (not here, at least), but here are a brief list of things that happened. There was the Buddhist Council NSW meeting, the UN Vesak Day, the photography work coverage of Soo Jae's amazing Charity Auction Night, the weekly strobist works, the Economics term paper, the USyd PhotoSoc Executive AGM, weekly IH badminton, getting back my Sociology and Psychology essays -- which I did rather poorly on ='( -- last lecture of the Semester -- which was just a few hours ago -- and most recently, the Econometrics assignment that I've been working on tirelessly for the past 3 days.
Next week's STUVAC -- Study Vacation -- and after that comes the final exams. Like I was back in high school, I'm still not intimidated by the idea of final exams. Though if the past is anything to judge, I'm pretty sure I'd be freaking out the day prior to the actual exam when I realise that I don't know my stuff well enough. After my last day of exam, my brother's coming to Sydney from Melbourne for 3 days and it'd be cool if I could convince him that Sydney > Melbourne. After exams comes winter break, and I'd be moving out to a place in Glebe with David for only $100 per week! But shortly after moving, I'll be off to a Monastery in Bundanoon for a short retreat of 1-2 weeks. A lot of people ask me why I'm doing this, and honestly, part of it is because it's totally free (free accommodation, food, utilities etc.), but more importantly, I see it as an opportunity to tune down my life, learn more about the teachings of Buddha, and experience something new. Well, that's pretty much all that I've planned out so far. Although initially I wished for a winter break where I can work, I realise that it'd be better for me to have more free time to engage in things of interest to me, make more friends from different backgrounds, widen my social connections, and get to know Sydney and its suburbs better. After all, my life in Sydney during the Semester has pretty much been restrained to just IH, Uni, Chinatown... and what else?
To end off, I'm going to give you guys a sneak preview to my recent strobist works (see below). Check out my Facebook page to see more (do click 'Like!') and feel free to contact me should you be interested in a photoshoot session. I'll see what I can do.
The photos below are not copyrighted (I'm being honest!) but I'd prefer it if you can ask me for permission should you like to share it, or use it in any way. And to add to the photos, I've been inspired by one of my psychology lecturers to combine poems and visual art, so there goes!
Cheers!
