To appreciate.

School was hectic. Thursday was spent with Michelle and YR attending the very first film tutorial which was really fun and then a few hours spent in the computer room trying to do something. In the evening it was CNY celebration by the CH department and I found it generally fun because of the atmosphere created perhaps. It was nice to hang out with the girls and then take the same bus home (even though the traffic was terrible).

With five hours of sleep, I headed to school for tutorial this morning and a lecture after that. I visited the washroom during lecture break and was horrified by my haggard look when I looked into the mirror. My dark eye circles were so bad. But again, it can be accounted for because sleep was never ample for the past few days. And I'm actually taking some time out to type these now because I have just finished an assignment which is due tomorrow.

So anyway, I went to the alumni appreciation dinner eventually and was glad to catch up with some of the people who are ever so nice. What I want to highlight here is that when I was going to board the bus to go home just now, another girl boarded the bus without queuing up. I was kind of amazed that the bus driver reacted. He said, "小妹，你没有排队。先让其他人上车。”For a moment I felt the surge of righteousness in the bus driver. I mean, we often come across such circumstances but not everyone speaks up. Not everyone stands up for fairness. Instead of hoping that there are more people like the bus driver who voices out the right and points out the wrong, I hope there will be more people who take notice of these little actions to avoid. But frankly, I am not that hopeful after all.

To self: Stop thinking you're good. That's how you improve.
