Babies are such cute little creatures that descend from heaven just to make life simply a joy to us human beings...

was itching to adopt a baby as my godson so that i can play with that cute little thingie...

that's why i ask andy to go and make one with his gf. In the end he called me siao...

Ha sad to say my relatives that side are not newly married and are quite old... Thus no chance of a new member into the whole family...

Ooo i wanna carry a baby...

watched ...

her/him sleep peacefully in a coy

her/him sucked his/her thumb

her/his eyes staring at me

listened to his/her chuckles...

Hey, next time i wanna have 2 children. Ideally one boy one girl. Perfect.

and i wanna be the godfather of my khakis who if maybe have babies earlier than me.

Ha...

Time to face reality.

My 4 days of freedom is going to end as soon monday starts.

On a Happier note, i will be on a life saving course for 2 weeks. 8am to 5pm at SAFTI MI. Swimming in Open waters and the Swimming pool.

Played lan continously for 3 days. Friday,Saturday,Sunday. Yeah i will be playing lan with my cousins later.

Thursday was off and i went to marina bay for some NS training for an upcoming competition. Met Zhanrui. Teo Zhanrui. One year older, was from VS Xcounty.

Friday, went to bukit timah plaza to play lan with jielun and ronnie's ex classmate.

Saturday, went to nyjc to kick a field match. My debut. Later went to dohby ghaut to play lan with ronnie and his pals.

Sunday ... Ha later then i will know. Anyway my bro is treating.

Btw in the mrt with tze wee. I made a remark about my head being too big.

Hey. i think my head is too big. yeah. or maybe it's becos my centre parting is gone thus exposing my head. which makes it seems too big. or watever.

Weepoh is coming back soon. Erm in one week plus how many more days. Then we can go for chinese new year shopping!

Lol for once we can actually not play lan. Hey we might even play lan after shopping. Arghhhhh.

Got my contacts from the optical shop. Hmzz never wore contacts for 2 months liao...

Have a special feeling to my specs.

I like the image i portray when i go out. Short hair, 3 quarter pants with a shirt plus slippers to orchard road. Copmfortable.

Guessed i should start to dress up nicely. huh.

Ignorance is Bliss.

After one whole round.

Came back to the starting point.

We can't deny that some things had changed.

Even though displacement is zero.

I grew stronger with each step i took.

With a deep breathe.

I will choose the path i will take.

Regardless of anything.

This time...

I will run my own race.

Not be affected by anyone else.

I'd like to tell you a story...

It's a story that you might find strangely familiar.
Don't be alarmed.

Once upon a time, there was a man who was very
attracted to a particular woman.

At first, she was just another attractive woman...
but the more he got to know her, the more he began
to feel attracted to her... and the more time he spent
with her, the more that attraction grew into a deep
emotional attachment and affection for her.

But there was one problem.

As his emotional attachment grew stronger and stronger,
he also grew more and more insecure.

Why?

Because he couldn't tell whether or not she felt
the same way towards him.

Sometimes she would say things like "You are so
important to me" and "I'm glad that you're in my life"...
but nothing ever progressed past the "friendship"
stage.

There was an occasional hug, an occasional kiss
on the cheek from her... and once she even held his
hand for a long time while he talked about an emotional
issue.

But something was wrong with the picture.

She just wasn't acting like a woman that was "falling
in love". She was acting like a friend.

The insecurity that he felt became a spiral that
amplified itself... and the more insecure he became,
the more afraid he grew of "screwing things up" by
kissing her or asking her to be his girlfriend.

Plus, the more insecure he became, the less time
she seemed to want to spend with him.

After spending many days and nights obsessing over
this girl, the man finally arrived at the conclusion
that if she only knew how HE FELT, that she would
feel the same way.

So he made a bold move.

He TOLD HER how he was felt.

He confessed that he was in love, and that he would
do anything to be with her.

She looked at him with compassion in her eyes and
said "Thank you... I really mean that... but I don't
want to mess up our friendship... you're too important
to me...".

This only confused the man more.

He didn't know how to take it...

Did it mean that she really loved him too, but
that she was afraid of something?

Did it mean that she wasn't ready for a long-term
relationship?

Did it mean that she didn't love him, but that
she was trying to give him a hint?

Did it mean that he hadn't tried hard enough?

Did it mean that he needed to put everything on
the line and REALLY let her know how he felt?

He finally decided that he couldn't go on like
this anymore... he had to be with her.

He had to make sure that she knew just how much
he wanted to be with her... so he took a big step,
bought her a symbolic gift, and wrote her a long,
long letter... again confessing his feelings.

And then the unthinkable happened.

She didn't reply.

He called her three times a day for almost a week
before reaching her.

She made an excuse about being very busy, and said
"I'll try to give you a call soon, I have to go"...
and hung up...

...but he never got a call back.

Over the following months, the man tried desperately
to understand what went wrong... and what happened.

THE END

Ha: That was like Ewwwwwwwwwwwww

Swimming selection at SAFTI MI. Passed the test and awarded a chance to go for the lifeguard course next week. Hey i am gonna be swimming daily!

Watched The Aviator. 3 hrs. Not a bad film.

Borrowed books from the library. Spend my day learning philosophy with Plato,Descartes,Aristotle etc.

Metaphysics- the study of reality,of what actually exists
Epistemology- qns about what things we can know, and how we can know them
Philosophy of religion- issues that lie behind religious ideas and languages
Philosophy of the mind- the study of the bature of the self

Borrowed some books on area 51, history of atlantis, the right mind and dreams what they mean.

On a slightly happier note. Read finished the time traveler's wife. Very Sweet and romantic. Must read!

A Poem from the odyssey Homer translated by robert fitzgerald.- abt how deep is their longing for each other till after death.

'Now from his breast into his eyes the ache
of longing mounted, and he wept at last,
his dear wife, clear and faithful,in his arms,
longed for the sunwarmed earth is longed for by a swimmer
spent in rough water where his ship went down
under Poseidon's blows, gale winds and tons of sea.
Few men can keep alive through a big surf
to crawl, clotted with brine, on kindly beaches
in joy, in joy, knowing the abyss behind:
and so she too rejoiced, her gaze upon her husband,
her white arms round him pressed as though forever.'

The time traveler's wife ending is melancholic but with a streak of sweetness in it. The sense of blissfulness and contentment is shown in the last paragraph.

Gonna swim daily starting from tomorrow, cos i need to get in shape for my lifeguard course!

Was She trying to tell me something?

Or is it, it was just a part of my wishful thinking?

She is attached. I think. According to hearsay.

I am confused yet euphoric, however things might not seem the way that i want it to be.

I hate to be in doubt, yet i do not have the courage to clarify things.

As the aftermath resulted in friendship ceased.

What if it was just a misunderstanding?

The sense of disappointment and humility outweights everything.

It has been eons since this topic has surfaced.

Why give me hope that's ambiguous?

I think....

I will procasinate about doing something ...

or just wait for more obvious intimations.

This week was one hell of a torture.

Fell sick this tuesday. Suddenly. Got a serious flu. Ate panadol cold relief but no use. Someone at the Medical centre told me panadol cold relief doesn;t cure flu. It just make my nose dry up to prevent any more sneezing. Got claratin in the end. plus 2 days attend B.

Everyday been running, doing gym and tabulating on how much i spent. Well, trying to fufil my new year's resolution.

Final conclusion : Spend $20 in one week. Run at least every day. Did weights to build up muscles.

Next week got a selection for life saving course. My front crawl sux. Must train. It's at SAFTI MI. Have to waste $ on transport. Argh.

Cleaned my bunk today. Cannot make it. My bunk still looks uncleaned. Ha.

Addicted to 5.30pm show. The one with the monkey in it. Keke. One whole series cost around $50 in poh kim. Shall go to the gym daily next week
