| J u n e 2 , 2 0 0 3 . B u r n t O u t So today I've officially decided that I am severely burnt out. I am so tired. So tired of everything I just want to stop an take a break. Yet I am flying to Hartford, Connecticut for my sister's graduation this Wednesday. I needed to pack but I didn't have the energy to. I am supposed to plan the tour out with my Dad, I didn't have the excitement to. It's been too much lately. I just want a break from it all. I just want to tune out, and want some space for myself. I haven't enjoyed a nice session of relaxed bedtime reading for a very long time. I know I should spend time with my parents, but I am also feeling too tired to want to spend time with them. I just want to stop. When will I get some rest? Come to me all ye who Yesterday, I went to a concert performed by the Toronto Cantata Chorus and accompanied by the Canadian Sinfonietta at the George Westin Hall, Toronto Centre for the Arts. Gloria Woo played as an accompanist for the soprano soloist Aileen Li. I was happy to get the seat B123, right in the front and next to the Steinway & Sons. I enjoyed some very musical and exhilarating moments during the performances. Here's the [ program ]. |

I was very nervous and worked very hard for it, constantly reminding myself to stay active in observing for important things on the road for 35 mins. That half hour and a little more felt sooooo long. I am flying tomorrow -- to see my sister's graduation at W e s t o v e r S c h o o l, Middlebury, Connecticut, which was also the school I graduated from four years ago. I am looking forward to seeing some old friends like Jeong Eun Kim in New York, and Carolyn Thomas in Plantsville. |

In the past, I've spoken, written and expressed a lot because I thought I was very intricate. I probably still am as any human being is. But now, people in this world, the way things are, and the creation and works of God alone are to me way more intricate than I used to see them. It's been two months after my final undergrad exams and after moving out of a secure home -- my life in residence. With the sequence of events and non-events, changes and open-endedness one after another, this period of time was a shock. However, it has been what I call -- I just found the words today -- an Enlightening Shock. Yes, it is not just a shock; it's been an enlightening shock in every way. I imagine it will continue to be so for a long coming while. That is why I will be silent. Most of the time. Rather than to speak, I will listen. Rather than to write, I will read. Rather than to ask, I will watch. Rather than to panick, I will understand. CT |

Played tennis with Cleo today for more than an hour and a half at the public school playground a few steps from my house on Huron St. First tennis game after a year. Breezy day but not too windy, yet not too sunny either. Quite comfortable weather for the sport. Warmed up to some shots. I am weak at backhands. Played a set with Cleo in the latter hour. I won, 6-3. She's just a bit rusty from the whole year off. I was lucky today. |
