I remember how dramatic the way I finally remembered you.
Finally picking up that lost piece of memory about someone I used to know so many years ago. And so I told myself to let nature take its course, while I'll try to keep this new bond alive. I tried, and it was perfectly perfect. No promises, only earnest wishes that both will always be happy and safe. The way both of us shed some light in each other's hearts, the way we created beautiful ripples in each other's lives.
But one day, it stopped. The chains of warmth and care broke. Clueless, I waited. I pictured how should I at least send concerns like you did last time, but I didn't.
I was so sure about keeping the lost piece of memory in the safe deposit never taking it out anymore, but it was so stubborn that it kept slipping out and stir my thoughts at times. And I had no way, no intention to discard it.
Just for how long I knew you and for how long I looked at you, you seem like noone more than a stranger now. It's hard to even believe that we were once friends. Never mind, we still are. So long the memories are real, I still believe our friendship once existed.

Looking forward to a brilliant start!
Just back from the fabulous Royals camp. Should be grabbing the chance of finally getting to sleep at normal hours now, but still so in the mood of training. Though being emo after almost every round, come to think of it, I'v already de-rusted and learnt much, on the brighter note. And I totally miss Bangi. Lol. And the people. It's like meeting old friends and getting even closer to the juniors, so enjoyable. And thanks to my gigantic baby-monster-big-buddy-with-totally-ugly-pillow for trying to cheer me up. LOL.
AND I ought to improve on my general knowledge. Obama's healthcare plan totally drove me clueless and justifying torture issue seriously screwed me up. Gah.
Before that, am totally grateful for progressing into Sem 4 successfully. Brilliant start! :D

Brief synopsis for the brave story
OK, I've to admit I'm still so not over with Hunchback of Notre Dame. Am now writing the synopsis in brief for my friends who're interested about the story. (if I do have readers.) :P
Quasimodo is a deformed, ugly, hunchback who lives in Notre Dame Cathedral(Notre Dame de Paris = Our Lady of Paris) and with the only job of ringing the cathedral bells. Everyday, he looked down at the town, longing to leave the cathedral and join the people for fun. On this special "Festival of Fools", he was so much tempted to join the carnival for fun at least for once. Persuaded and motivated by his only gargoyle friends, he went. There was this brutal ceremony of selecting the ugliest man in town to be the "Pope of Fools", Quasimodo was undoubtedly chosen. People laughed at him, threw rotten veggies at him like a freak. His Master Frollo(adopted father), being the Archdeacon of the cathedral, did not even attempt to rescue him. He was so angry about the fact that Quasimodo still went to the carnival despite him forbidding him to do so.
Esmeralda, a Gypsy girl who sings and dances as a living rescued him from the crowd, and this offended Frollo. Frollo detested her for being a Gypsy, and took this chance to prosecute her. Being Quasimodo's first human friend and his only love, Quasimodo endure alot of fear and guilt (because he was in fact defying his Master whom he was so devoted to) and rescued her. Together with him, Captain Phoebus, a young military man joined the rescue, and eventually fell in love with Esmeralda.
They went into conflict with Frollo, and they all became the deadliest group of people to be prosecuted. Frollo, in the end, revealed the fact that he was the one who killed Quasimodo's parents. The only reason he adopted him was the belief that Quasimodo'd somehow be of some use in the future. And he died, as how bad people should in any other ordinary Disney ending.
The ending was rewarding. Paris was indeed Quasimodo's. They embraced him, cheered for him and accepted him.
(In Mr. Hugo's version, Esmeralda was hanged dead, and Quasimodo crawled to her tomb, cried and died of starvation in the end. ARRRR I hate this >.< I'd rather stay in denial and happily remember the Disney ending for it. Somehow it tells me it's rewarding, probably you can't see it yet, but it indeed is, to fight for justice. Probably in this world filled with money stinks we can't assume it's always true though.)

The Huchback of Notre Dame
Today is so about classics. This story is just so meaningful that I couldn't wait to finish it so that I could write a thing or two about it. In this case, I'd rather analyse the happy ending brought up by Disney cartoon, rather than the tragic story as written by Mr. Victor Hugo.
Quasimodo, his whole life was probably a little mishap - he just so happened to be born like that; ugly faced, hunchback. His only parents who'd accept him like no other were killed by the evil Archdeacon, who then adopted him, instilling him ideas about human discrimination and prejudice. His only human friend from the start, who is also his only love, Esmeralda fell for Captain Phoebus, the handsome military man. Good thing Disney scriptwriters finally sympathised with him and granted him a sorta happy ending. Apart from his all-time gargoyle friends, he now has Esmeralda, Phoebus as his best friends, along with the acceptance of the everyone in Paris. I personally couldn't accept the fact that he was dead along with Esmeralda as Mr. Victor Hugo brutally did to him.
One of the scenes that got me really teary was when Esmeralda mistaken Quasimodo's face as a mask. He didn't explain, he only smiled. I know how much it kills him. Nonetheless, instilled with the belief that he's the ugliest monster in Paris who's meant to be confined within the cathedral as the bell-ringer forever, he did not expect much. He also knew nobody would ever accept him like his Master, proven by the coronation of Quasimodo as the Pope of Fools and everyone threw rotten eggs and veggies at him like a freak.
And that's why when the battle with the Archdeacon was over, when Esmeralda introduced Quasimodo as another hero behind the glorious heroic independence, and when all the people in Paris cheered for him, I shed another hot tear of joy. He was finally being accepted. I'm so happy with Quasimodo's decision of defying his only belief all his life. All his life he believed that his Master was his everything - he raised him, accepted his ugly face, granted him a job and a place to live in. All these turned out to be a total lie, and the Master(the Archdeacon) was in fact the figure of all the evil elements in Paris. Although Quasimodo endured all the fear and suspense and guilt throughout the rescue, the reward was big. Whole Paris belonged to him in the end. Nothing can be better than being accepted by the crowd for who he is. People no longer talk about his ugly face, his funny hunchback; more, they sing about his bravery and pure heart.
Done with Quasimodo, Esmeralda is yet another legend in the story. I could see how much Gypsies were being unjustly treated and misunderstood, they're believed to be very cunning group of people who are good liars. People stayed away from them, and ordinary people were just so proud because of them being majority and threw unjust discriminations towards them. And the rest of the Gypsies just built a secret place for themselves. But Esmeralda is the only brave girl who openly defied the Archdeacon and did not care about her own life. She's more concern about the just. And yet, I feel she is lucky - to have such a special friend who'd save her in every way a person could be saved. And she met someone who'd do the same like her - Phoebus.
"If I could fly, I'd have chosen today. Sing, dance! Nobody'd wanna be trapped here forever." said Quasimodo to the bird.
"Life isn't meant to be watched; it's not like watching a movie or a match. You have to get down and play." said the momma gargoyle to Quasimodo.

One Lil Slip
OOOPS. Moral of the story, always double-check the number before sending any sensitive messages with any random nicknames in it. =.=
Enough of onlining, should start some serious personal business now. For instance, studying CNS. (ha ha ha) Toodle-oo!

YAY
So now I smell freedom. Whoopie. :D Though had a feeling I totally screwed up OSPE. Stubborn huh, still not putting equivalent effort into it though already had such expectations. Nonetheless, am so proud of myself for having sufficiently feigned confidence for CSL Physical Examination. Though hated myself for lying about the apex beat. Why did I even bother to ask the patient to tilt to the left? ADUI. Urghh. It was a huge relief to hear "Excellent." with a huge smile from the doctor, but I wonder if he was just trying to be nice to me. Ohya, though don't even know who he is, would like to thank him so much. :D
Reading back the above paragraph, I guess this proves the XXX theory that we learnt in ZT true. For every emotion, there will be a negative resultant emotion arising. OK I'm a woman with a thousand worries, I must admit. :D
And that marks the end of sem3, hopefully, with peace. :D big claps to everyone who've endured well in this race against time and the fight against the temptations to watch Detective Conan . (well, it only applies to me anyway. XD)
