I feel pretty weird sitting in the Central reading, library typing this blog.

Lately a lot of unexpected things happened. This one i am about to mention is just one of those that occured most recently.

 

There was a Gun-man on campus around 1:30PM this afternoon. At the time i just finished my piano lesson, and was in Cafe having lunch, did not receive any notifications until 2:20PM. (and later on, i would feel quite guilty of me having lunch at this time without knowing anything, while the others were in a different place worrying about me)

 

Coincidentally i was suppose to start my new working shift in music department today , starting from 1:30PM. For the first time i forgot about the time i needed to be in the office, and waited until 2:30PM. By the time i got into the elevator of the music department, i received the text message from school system, "Alert! There is a report of an armed perpetrator on the academic mall. Remain alert and follow direction of emergency personnel. Go to school website for updates." And by the time i arrived in the office, which was flooded already with many many people, my boss screamed out my name, and cried, literally cried. She thought something had happened to me, because i was never late to the work, but today i was almost 1hr late to the work.. A lot of feelings..

 

Eventually everyone was good. I was glad to see people receiving notifications, as quickly, through cell phones, mainly text msgs, or/and phone calls from school, as well as website updates. As everyone gathered together, as decisions as to lock the doors of buildings been made, i really felt we were all in this together, and life of each others was seen as important as one another's own.

 

What made me even more comforted was, besides all the notifications from school, i got forwarded msg from a friend, and several phone calls from other friends. Just a little something.

 

School works are getting frustrating.

 

However, the incident allowed my piano teacher give me an extra lesson in the music building, since his class was canceled, and i was working until late. He borrowed me from my boss, then the lesson was almost complete.

 

This night, another concert, made my day. Always honored to attend the concerts at school. And tonight's, was another surprise.

 

PS. I feel bad about incidents of Edison Chen. Despite the morality of fact of his past actions, i would like to leave a person's privacy a while. The saddest part is a lot of other people were involved altogether. Specially Cecilia Cheung, and her new formed family and a new born baby. I still remember her husband --a to-be-dady's smile when he announced the news of Cheung pregnancy. They shall all be gone along with this incident.

 

How can life be so unpredictable?
