I was led astray by the allure of freshly pressed coffee, I mean, entries.
Interesting reads are hard to pass up.

This is it.

"Some things go. Pass on. Some things just stay. I used to
think it was my re-memory. You know. Some things you forget. Other
things you never do. But it's not. Places, places are still there. If
a house burns down, it's gone, but the picture of it-stays, and not
just in my re-memory, but out there, in the world. What I remember is
a picture floating around outside my head. I mean, even if I don't
think it, even if I die, the picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is
still out there. Right in the place where it happened."

Toni Morrison, Beloved

This is so heart-warming.
Audrey Hepburn led such a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We must not let time tick away and go to waste.

I inhaled deep breaths matching the beat of Mika's By the Time and before I knew it, 179 took a death-defying turn into NTU. Didn't I experience this on countless occasions? This swerving and thrashing like waves of fury seeking vengeance swallowing hungry fishermen on boats up whole.

The bus screeched to a halt along Lien Ying Chow Drive and my 3 o'clock was exactly where I spent my 3years in Hall. Nostalgia swept over me over and over, and my heart - a weathered rock.

As I continued down the meandering road into NTU, the more my bones felt like ancient fossils, creaking with every jerk. I lay still like a statue.

This definitely needs a hell lot of getting used to but I'm pretty sure by week 3, this rock will turn into dust and debris and I will complete the final semester with a clean slate.

Let the waves thrash.
