The first part of this post is gonna be like an AQ question with respect to Jiayi's (tan) post about friends. She says that she's not really bothered with maintaining long-term friendships, but will just cherish present ones and forge new ones as time goes on. While I think this is very practical and saves alot of effort, one also misses out on alot of lovely times this way. Theres no such thing as "if we so happen to become bosom buddies". It doesn't "so happens"; you have to help it happen. Okay, maybe it can so happen if you always end up in the same place at whichever point in your lives. You attend the same schools, work in the same companies, in the same department, live in the same area etc. But of course, I can very confidantly say that that NEVER happens. So you do need to consiously or unconsiously keep your friendships going. You can't live your whole life with aqquaintances with whom you just "brush shoulders". That not how this thing called 'friendship' works. To many this might seem weird coming from me, seeing as I don't really have many 'bosom buddies' in school. Well, maybe actually only 1, and thats because of circumstances; we so happen to be in the same school again after 4 years. Okay, 1 goodest friend and a couple of good friends. That is not to say that I do not value the other friendships I have. Its just that everyone else already have their own 'cliques' and I don't really have the need to be your best friend. Okay, in this aspect I'll have to agree with jiayi. I enjoy spending time with other people, I feel comfortable with different cliques and I enjoy going out with my class. But perhaps because I always spend so much time in the com lab and in the library reading and none of us really have the lock and key to click with each other that I'm none of your 'best friend'. That said, I'm grateful for all the friends I have, all the people I've met (in and outside school). Whether we're close or not, you're still a treasured friend ;)
Okay, that wasn't a very good AQ...oh well...Next, I'm gonna talk about another GP related issue. During GP today, we were looking out of the window down onto the roadside at little ngee ann kids running towards the canal on their tiny little legs, their excited laughter and chatter clearly heard in our 4th floor classroom. It then dawned upon us that it was about 10 years ago when we were like them. A few years ago, I'd never imagine I'd be saying things about myself "10 years ago". It feels so old now that I can actually say "10 years ago..." this and that happened to me. Its actually a decade! Its scary when you remember alot of your life "10 years ago". Thank God its another 10 years before I have to face my new found ability to talk about "20 years ago..."
Enough about depressing stuff. Lets see...what have I to rejoice about? My CT grades? Okay, 2 of my subjects were relatively alright...but on average, my 3 subjects aren't. Maybe I'll be happy overall if I get at least a C for GP? Is that even a realistic expectation?
Herr S is starting to grate on my nerves a little...
Oops, more depressing stuff.
Ok, I more or less love the weather these few days. At least the sun is not burning and theres usually a sweet breeze blowing.
This term is gonna be an exciting term: soccer...all the sports comps...etc... :D
okie, I ended on a happy note le.
ciao!
you know you love me
