March 2007 versus March 2008
Blogging things somewhere enables you to accumulate an archive of your life’s history, so that you can go back to it frequently. That makes for really good “ah-ha!” moments when you realised that things had changed within that 1 year since you wrote that entry.
For me, the most striking thing that has stood out so far is the weather. Never mind why I suddenly thought about the sky today, (I have no idea why either) but if you dig into this blog archive, you can see an entry in March last year where I complained about the heat. Well, I’m surprised that I even complained about the excessive sun last year; just ask anybody on the street, and they would agree that this March is unusually wet and cold. While La Nina might have grown stronger these days, the subtly accented coolness in the air really underscores the difference between the two Marches.
It shouldn’t really matter much, in tropical Singapore, if not for the fact that I was stuck in school for the past 4 weeks, working on a video for the school’s enrollment drive. I don’t believe it explains why I didn’t manage my time well enough to fit everything around work time, but at least it accounts for being in school from dawn till way past dusk. Nevertheless, we’ve finished the video now, so I should be reasonably left-alone to write more… I think.
Already this is sounding like an attempt to excuse myself, so I’ll stop for today. It’s Sunday! I’m going to just kick back in bed and catch up on the long queue of anime, manga and Life-hacking that I missed for the past 3 weeks or so. I have more than 380 LifeHacker posts to catch up!
