Went for Pitch & Putt yesterday at Allesley Hall Park with the golf society. The first thing we noticed when we got onto Evan's as-good-as-new Volkswagen was that the steering wheel was on the left side, instead of the usual right. Apparently Evan, a born Russian who lived in Sweden most of his life and currently staying in Switzerland had drove the car from home, crossed the English Channel and got it here - that took 12 hours. (Recalling the 18 hours road trip to Montreal, Canada from UIUC last year) So Europe's pretty small isn't it?
My flight had only 2 balls - played with Mihai, a second year EPIS (Economics, politics and international studies) Romanian. He had never played golf before, so the poor guy got blisters at the end of the 18 holes. But pretty brave and impressive to take this step I think. The game was good, though it drizzled and shone erratically (well, it's UK) at least it beats the hot and humid weather in Singapore. Managed to get all my balls flying, that's the best part, and they flew decent distance. Hee hee... Can't wait for the next range trip!
Worked for the theatrical play "Importance of Being Earnest" tonight and I definitely enjoyed the performance (especially compared to the comedy by Jimmy Carr last Saturday =S) The highlight of Oscar Wilde's comedy was the 7 roles were played by only 2 men. They were able to bring out the essence of the show through changing of costumes (which they 'gave up' changing behind the blinds and changed in front of the audience towards the end of the show as there was a showdown), changing of voices. Such symbolisms are what I like most about theatrical performances. Though the show slightly deviated from the actual book with its connotations and especially when one of the actors spent half of the 2nd interval walking on stage in just his undies, it was still quite funny and brings a refreshing note to my secondary 2 literature text. =P *Thinking of how we tried to act the play in Secondary 2 and I think I was Miss Prism or something. Haha~!
Another week had passed and I'm almost halfway through autumn semester; time passes really fast, can't help wishing it to slow down so that I can savor every moment of it. Ever since I've started opening myself up to Him, it just seemed like there isn't any moment of sadness in my life. I may miss my family; but it means He had given me a loving family which I have to give thanks for. I may seem too busy at times; but it means He had given me challenges for me to overcome, which I have to thank Him for putting them in my way. People I meet everyday, company I enjoy, unhappiness I feel once in a while - I can only give thanks to Him, for there must have been happiness therefore I'm hurt or upset, and at least there's so many other things I can lay back on. Opening up made me appreciate the small details of life - like the lake outside, if it's warm, there'll be ducks and swans swimming. But if it's cold, the water would be still and the reflection of buildings on the water surface looked as though it is a piece of mirror.
