The Kite Runner

That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.

Then he would remind us that there was a brotherhood between people who had fed from the same breast, a kinship that not even time could break.
Hassan and I fed from the same breasts. We took our first steps on the same lawn in the same yard. And, under the same roof, we spoke our first words.
Mine was Baba.
His was Amir. My name.
Looking back on it now, I think the foundation for what happened in the winter of 1975 and all that followed was already laid in those first words.

But coming close wasn't the same as winning, was it? ... He had won because winners won and everyone else just went home.

For you, a thousand times over.

I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded, not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.

Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.

Soiree 2008: OT0702

Ooooooh~

Future OTs we've pledged to be
We pledge to help our community
I really wonder if we'll ever be
Considering that we're so naughty

The crazy plans that we always make,
Never seem to impress anyone
Finding faults in our own mistakes
Remembering that way is much more fun

Watching learning, trying to find some meaning
Caring helping makes it so fulfilling
Watching learning trying to find some meaning
Slowly surely some day we'll be ready

PBL makes me stay up late
Mobility definitely lays my fate
BSM makes my heart palpate
Behavioral mod tries to change the things I hate

Sorry to say but physio makes me sleep
So deep I didn't feel my handphone beep
But I have friends to keep me awake
Reminding me that my grades are at stake

Watching learning, trying to find some meaning
Caring helping makes it so fulfilling
Watching learning trying to find some meaning
Slowly surely some day we'll be ready

OT is here to sing for you this song
Now everybody try to sing along, clap along
Ya'll listen to these words that's coming from our tongue
Its something you can relate to and laugh along ya'll

After JC I joined OT in NYP
I've been looked down by everybody
They ask me why I didn't go to the uni
They judge me as someone who cant make it

I didn't care I proceed to poly
And each days pass I feel much more happy
‘Cos wat I learn gave me so much meaning
Give me the drive to carry on my learning

Whenever you feel stressed and feeling down
Recall what OT’s gonna tell u now
This is my hakuna matata remix
Come on everybody now sing it with me

Shee pap pee doop...Pee doobie wan too...

Watching learning, trying to find some meaning
Caring helping makes it so fulfilling
Watching learning trying to find some meaning
Slowly surely some day we'll be ready
