"When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure."
- Alice Hoffman, 'Here on Earth'


Raindrops keep falling on my head.. yea yea whatever. So it has been raining cats and dogs for the past 2 weeks. Floods, mini landslides and all. But well, looking on the bright side, we're at least much better than our neighbouring countries. So basically, it has been a rainy wet Christmas season. Like the above quotation, weather and love are the 2 elements which one can never be sure. Blardy true.

So here's the update of my life. There was this SIM bash at MOS on last thurs night. I went with a couple of NS friends. Well, it was a kind of mini catching up. Basically, we had a beer tower at Brewerks before heading to the club. Met a few of my lecture mates in the club, Khai, Berthia, Shab and Ernest. Besides, i also had an unpleasant encounter with transverstites and a "lady" who winked at me.. Well..dont want to talk about it. Overall, I had fun, especially at the the retro area which is on the 2nd floor. Managed to ask a girl to dance ( a pity she was a little young)with me. Didnt get her name though. Well, i guessed Ive improved in my dancing. I remembered the first time dance, people thought I had fits or some spasm in my legs. Besides, I had fun watching my friend, Bill pretending to be a Bulgarian.. And I didnt know that Khai could dance soo well.

I know.. the most interesting topic currently would be about the mysterious girl. Well, let's just say that things are really going fine between us. Some of you might already know the level of bonding i and her share. Still, I really do feel being in love is a torture. Contradicting eh? well, it's like you really do enjoy every moment you have with her. But it can really be a pain in the ass when you start to behave in a way which you normally dont. The feeling can really be quite torturing. Ok.anyway, I did something special for her for Christmas and she really enjoyed it. At least i've scored a point in her heart I guessed. Well, I got an Esprite watch in return for Xmas too.. from her.. haha.. right.. enough about her. I shall move on

My main focus today will be about my plans for the future. I guess ive to stop idling my time away. I just realised that December is coming to an end and it basically means that Ive half a year more to my exams. I think i better cut down abit of my activites in the children's home and spend more time bucking up. I really do want to get my 2nd upper.. That's what the gal got when she was studying. Oh..and talking about studies, I still owe my beloved Nageb his 2nd essay assignment. I heard from Ernest that we can email him the assignment by friday. Well. I really do not k,now if I should, in case he suddenly call me out in class. By then, I'll be known as the greatest Ang Gong Kia on earth. But heck, i guess i'll just submit. Besides my studies, I think I've to work harder in getitng more students for my tuition class. More students means more income. Ok..that explains it. Im quite alright with the current 3 students., but i feel i can handle more. Well. Besides, i got to read up more on investments. The market seems bullish and Ive limited capital. Got to make full use of it.

Right, im still thinking about the topic of love. I was just remembering about what she've told me before. A girl is still a girl. Be it she's 20,30 or 40. Her expectations may change overtime but deep in her heart, she'll just be the same girl like any other girls out there, waiting to be loved and care for by the special one. Well, that was her advice to me. Right.. it seems encouraging.. ok..that's all.Till then. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.. And say hello to Khai! :P

"A man should not leave this earth with unfinished business. He should live each day as if it was a pre-flight check. He should ask each morning, am I prepared to lift-off?"
- Diana Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, All is Vanity, 1991


I realised that almost every entry I made, most of it sound so gloomy and serious. This entry however, will still be in the same gloomy mood. Recently, there's a heart breaking news of a father who swam out to save his drowning son. Sadly, he got drowned while his son was saved. This piece of news may hold little importance to most of us. Many would just look at it, comment how sad it was and then resumed back to their daily routines. Anyway, that piece of news hit me real hard that day. The reason? I was there swimming at the same time, same place where the accident happened. Although I didn't witnessed the whole thing,the accident took placed like about 1km away from where I swam. So well, the whole thing seem so surreal to me. Even up till now, my heart goes out to the victim and his family. I mean, it could happened to anyone of us. It's like a "so near yet so far" kind of thing. Anyway, the pics for the recent outings I had with the kids are out. Check them out!
