the journey.

as you grow older, fewer things really matter to you. learn to share joy because it comes back to you at the end of the day.

i was in LT 26 attending analytical chemistry lecture and i happened to chance upon jaya who was sitting beside me. we were both late.

then the lectuer made the entire row discuss abt how we can compare the experimental value with the true value. then we engaged in a conversation.

jo: how many chem modules are u taking this sem?
jaya: 3. what abt you?
jo: me? 4. i took additional spectroscopy cos i am trying out for UROPS next year.
jaya: okay. so i c u are trying out for honours.
jo: of course, if i can make it.
jaya: hmm, i am just going to take 3 years degree. that's all.
jo: no honours? what a waste. what do u wan to be in the future?
jaya: i dunno, seriously. u?
jo: i wanna try to be an air stewardess for 2 years and c the world.
jaya: then what the hell are u doing here? chemistry?!
jo: yeah, chemistry. what's wrong? tt is my passion.
jaya: quit sch and go be air stewardess now. dun waste time here.
jo: air stewardess is going to be a temp thing. i love chemistry.
jaya: u are overqualified.
jo: no, im nt. im nt as pretty as the other air stewardesses. i only have height. but luckily i heard that they are nt looking for just looks anymore. *phew*
jaya: who on earth study chemistry and then serve passengers on the plane?!
jo: i am still exploring..
jaya: true true.. now let's get back to the qns.

i regained my passion today. cos i finally understood what the hell the lecturer was talking abt.
