I feel like time is passing by very quickly down under. Maybe it's the way the day is with the sun setting early and all. I also feel like I get more work done down under. OK so maybe I only have work to do down here, since I'm having holidays when I'm in Singapore, but I guess the sense of accomplishment is different. This week I have started my revision on the first half of semester 2 work, and it's no easy feat, especially with assignments and tutorial work every week. But glad to say that come tomorrow, I'll be one assignment closer to the semester break, which I'm looking very forward to. It proves to have a fantastic start...not a very bright end, but I guess, as I learnt in finance, in times of uncertainty, to reduce risk I could get a derivative, but I think derivatives don't exist for my future.
"Shelves upon shelves of books surrounded them. Where was the book they were looking for? He looked around, half his mind on call number 940, half his mind on her radiant beauty. Did she know how he felt? It couldn't be more obvious. Everybody else seemed to think so, clearly she couldn't be so oblivious to it. He focused his attention to the book in front of him, 880. They were no where near, yet she seemed to look as if it was. Was she even looking, or thinking the same thing as him?
"It's not here. Come lets try the next shelf."
He stretched out to take her hand instinctively as he led the way through the shelves, she didn't fight off his grip. He grew more confident, and held it longer. For a moment he forgot about 940.
She saw him look from the corner of her eye. This was clearly not the proper shelf with numbers up to 880, but she didn't complain. She knew. It was so obvious, did he think she was that stupid not to have realised it by now? She played along, and pretended to search for book 940.
"It's not here. Come lets try the next shelf."
With that he took her hand. Surprise filled her eyes as their hands met for probably the longest time ever. Did he see the look in her eyes? Her heart raced, as excitement built up inside her. For a moment she forgot about 940."
