After a very very long weekend, 31 days precisely, a new semester embrace us with such open arms... trying to comfort us, it seems, that whatever we achieve last year is in the past. No remorse could rewrite all 'the flying colors' and we can only try the best on the ground we share now. I saw people getting anxious here and there, fusing over calendar, that yes... busy days are near and no one can possibly point the world to yesterday. We are just regular humans after all,
you and me.
But what if we aren't? What will happen if we can return to our happy days where we know the outcome of the action taken? Will we truly be happy if the chance were given (without Dealing with the Devil)? Hypothetical thinking here... no character butchering please.
...
You can iron that crumpled eyebrows of yours now. Thank you.
Well... I would be skeptic if someone offered me a round in The Blue Box. Have you ever played an RPG with multiple storyline? Contemplation* told me that life is similar to those game mechanism: an event, choose the flag, new path opens, the story continues, another event comes, choose another flag and so on. If you have minimum a single save state, you probably will try every flag you meet... but life is no simple game, buddy. It has bunch of flags (understatement of the millenia) and the result you get is so subtle that you won't realize it until it's too late. Can you differentiate the major flags? And the flag you already took... is it really false? The people you meet, the hardship you cut a cross... you may be fail at one point, but who knows where the path will take you to. If you know the direction where do you want to go to, you can choose another flag in future to re-route. Shut up and Trust This.
*The contemplation here is provided by series of event around Monbukagakusho test last year.
>signing up in the scholarship program: major flag
>a bizarre series of coincidences (locating vice principal and homeroom teacher in one go, odd day it was; went to Jakarta the day after, sudden traffic clearing; Given class aaand an advanced chemistry book after graduate in busy days; getting companion, who is my mother's friend's daughter, and many more): God guided me through storyline. It's kind of creepy when you actually feel that He watches veeeryy closely.
>a holiday where I could fill my head: Leveling-up ground
>the test: of course a big boss battle with two path to be discovered. One for win and one for lose.
>studying in Japan: a very steep path that I fail to achieve. Now that a semester passed, I actually am glad that I lost the battle to more competent people :P
Thank you for reading, I'm done here...

but not quite.
This week I watched BBC Sherlock thanks to my friend, pushing my back after I kept glancing to the short series... for months. Fell along with me, was my brother who got interested after I blasted main computer's speaker in front of his work (I'm not sorry!). We watched it together... every single episodes with great interest... and I think BBC does not fail to bring dynamics between the two main characters. For good measure, there is this scene that would imprint in your mind for a while... (TRF, yep)
After twitting this, my bro fell asleep in blues...
...Even though I don't have many friend, I am very grateful for those who always there for me. Thank you again, mate... see you later :')
