Today is a day of reflection. Since my student is not available today, I visited some ex members and a member. But the member did not answer my call so eventually cannot find him. Been a while since I saw my ex members. Quite miss them though. After meeting them, went to fort canning. A place where my troubles are momentarily off. I have been going to the place since secondary school days. Like the place lots. Then came down to the Christian bookshop. I was quite stunned to see one of my favourite bookshop to be closing down. It is one of the places I like to be at. In July, either it will relocate or it will not be doing any business le. On my way to City Hall Mrt Station, was thinking of relationship and stuff. Actually to say the truth, I am not really prepared for any relationship. Though I hope to be in a relationship and quite envy couples, but deep down I am really really not prepared at all.

Recently, I have been watching a few dramas. One of it is this drama called Life. This drama delves into the dark side of high school life. The story focuses mainly on bullying, but it also touches on subjects such as self-mutilation, suicide, and rape. Kitano Kii stars as Ayumu Shiiba, one of the students bullied by a group of classmates led by Ayumu's former friend, Manami Anzai (Fukuda Saki).

What is it so fun about ganging up on people? Maybe people realise strength comes in numbers. Since they are not so strong individually, together they are a mighty army. And when emotional intelligence is not so high, bullying comes into place. After finishing watching this drama, I was thinking of the fact that the Pharisees also come together and tried to bully Jesus into submission. But well, they thought they have succeeded when Jesus was at the Cross. Never do they know that it is the Plan.
