today's file

ever thought how our days are like files?
made up of a number of papers, some highlighted sentences where special things took place, which will then form our only memory of the day;
and maybe special notes which form our mental "note to self", all filed up into one colored file, maybe a rainbow shade from jan to dec.
Everyday it ends when the clock strikes 12, with the clicking of the metal binder and the titling of the file infront - 29 september 2010

let me show u my file today.

today i woke up at 6am, along with more than half the population of malaysia to go to coll, which starts at 8am.
i bought taufufa from the van, got a free nasi lemak from Acts' Church Help Campus Revo team. felt really blessed by it, and it kindof made my day, and my day lasted till 4pm.

today i went for my evidence tutorial, which was kindof a waste of time, and so i slept during the last 10 mins of class. i accidentally drew a line on mumbles' face, his jaw to be specific, and spent 5 minutes trying to get rid of the stain with my sanitizer.

today i went down to the mamak after class, laughed along with some friends, drank a few sips of my friend's drink which i cannot remember what it was now

today i skipped contract tutorial, cz it was our first, and she probably wasnt going to do much. had KFC for lunch with a few friends, watched the pipe explode and water gushing upwards near the toilet.

today i had another meet up with sarah and jaylyn and gang, to talk about cardiff , what we were gonna do over there, all the places to see and people to meet. and we tried our best to get jaylyn to go this year . heh tough luck.

today hanna tan and i spent an hr in the library choosing subjects for 2nd year, thinking of our future ahead, where hanna tan said she's gonna work for UN, and all i said was im not gonna take a 30 credit EU law.

today we spent another 45 mins in the mamak again, talking and laughing and basically waiting for time to pass

today i followed hanna tan to mainblock to take her visa pic AGAIN, cz she lost hers -.-
which she found later on

today hanna tan dropped me at KA, and i was gonna follow my mom back, and she was gonna pick her sister.

today i went online while waiting for my mom

today i found out a friend died.


i wonder what was he doing today before the accident. how was his day like, who did he meet, who did he talk to, what did he do

he couldve gotten up early too, just like the rest of us, maybe to rush an assignment, to get breakfast, to catch a train, to go to a meeting. what did he wake up to?

what were his plans for the day, im sure he had some, unlike some of us who just wanted to pass time, and get the day over with.

what did he slot into his file today? what were the highlighted things and the small notes written on the papers?

and to think we were making plans for year 2 and 3,

some of us dont even make it through the day.

today i went for a pasar malam session with annee, yiling and lam, where they bought new screen protectors and covers for their almost one day old iphone 4

today they came to see the puppy, heh they like moopie alot ;)

today i get to go home, take a shower, make a drink and sleep in my bed, while it rains outside

today i can close a file, and start a new one tomorrow.

i think i did quite a number of things today, with friends and all
maybe i didnt get all the ticks on the list of 'what has to be done today',
but i think i had a 24 hrs day, which is the only requirement to close a file

he didnt have a full 24 hours today.
i bet he only got half of the ticks on the 'to do' list today.
maybe even less than that.
why him? sigh is there even an answer to that question
if only there was one, at least we would have an explanation, a report.

it wont be sufficient even then would it? no matter what answer.
he was a great person, a nice guy. a super smart one too
what did he do to deserve this?
nothing right?
nobody deserves death somehow

why him then, why now?
why does he get his today and tomorrows taken away, when they are worth so much

in new york, concrete jungles where dreams are made of huh

his dream was destroyed there, along with his future.

and to see the impact he left in everyone's lives from high school to uni
from before and after today.
amazing person u are bryan.
one that the CH-ians will always remember.
i guess now he only doesnt exist when we forget,
but we never will

and so, how was ur file today?
