| spitefulness |
Yesterday Ru-Jin told me something disturbing about a very nice and wonderful person.
Mr J is a pious Christian, guy-next-door type, ever-ready to lend a helping hand. To him, his ex-gf was the prefect gal, someone who he still holds lots of respect for. However, recently, this ex-gf asked him out for dinner. Out of the blue.
When they met, the gal was told him 2 things:
1) I found a job (many years back, he made a comment that being a arts & social science undergrad, it will be difficult for her to find a job as its a very general degree)
2) she is attached now, do not contact her anymore.
Hey hello... she is the one that called him out for dinner.. they havent had contact all this while... what the Fuck!
She is so spiteful, makes me wonder if that comment is all that mattters to her about their relationship. Its so sad, was there even love in the first place? Perhaps. I am no one to judge as I do not know her personally nor was I present to witness their relationship but is that how one will treat someone that one once loved and cared for. I really dont know, will I ever be like that?
Mr J now is feeling confused and start having doubts about many things. There are other factors that add to him confused state but this ex's action is a VERY BIG factor. He is starting to doubt God, and that is something very unexpected of him ever. Really hope that he can get over this obstacle soon.
Do u ever nurse such a gudge? Will u ever do what that ex did? Perhaps I will someday, but cant think of something spiteful that people said in the past, something that I really want to prove wrong.
Back to the world cup - Holland u better score soon!!! i wanna win $ |

| Its time, soccer time!! |
My final paper is over for almost a week yet I am still not in the holiday mood nor am i soaking in the fact that I am finally graduating. Seems so surreal, a part of me still thinks that I have to go back for classes. Guess that I am too busy watching the World Cup Matches to think about graduating.
Luckily Ru-Jin is not in Singapore, he will have become a World Cup Widower. LOL. Whoever say that women are always the neglected one during such important events. Although I think that its ridiculous that to watch the game, we have to pay. Should the Government subsidies the broadcast, so that every citizen can watch it on the 'free' channels. Feeling indignant for those who do not get to watch it simply cause they cannot afford to or Starhub didnt fit the cables needed for cable vision viewing (e.g Pte houses).
England sux.
Critics raved about their powess and being the best England team ever, however, I am soo not impressed. Their victory over Paraguay was fluked as it wasnt even their own effort. So perhaps its first-match nervousness and most expected them to shine in the match against Trinidad and Tobago BUT its the 48mins now and the score is still nil.
Talking abt England, I do not understand why people likes to tease abt Peter Crouch, I think he is rather cute. |

| birthday |
I am older now but am i wiser? I seriously hope so.
Yet how am I to definitely 'wiser'. Smarter in the academic sense or basically more learned about things. Well, i am a lousy student but I am sure that I am better in the academic sense as projects, exams, presentations do allow me to gain more knowledge, for example I know how to do a consolidation of accounts wahahaha. I just have to pass the exam to ensure myself that I indeed learnt something in school. However, if only life-lessons are so easy to assess. There is no benchmark or scorecard. There is also no exams, textbooks and 10-year-series. Thus how do one know if one has gain newer insights about life, better equipped about face life's challenges, display the right attitude and doses of sensitivity to different people. The saying goes "learn from mistakes" but is it always possible as 2 scenarios are not necessarily the same so how am I to use the what I've learnt from scenario A to apply to B. No wonder "learning is a lifelong process" as one will never know what's the passing mark. And for some, they never ever pass life-tests because they just never learn.
Ohhh... cannot stand myself! Why I am going on about lessons and life... sooo.... nowgoing back to my birthday.
I spent most of my birthday reading this novel "P.S I love you" (its a birthday pressie!) and did some self-reflection while I was reading. I thought about my past year, about the people around me, the things I have done etc etc.
I have been a lazy friend, a strong-headed daughter, evil sister and a unattentive gf. Maybe I am not all that bad but there is definitely room for improvement.
When I was much younger, birthdays are a BIG thing. Its like my special day. Always a present and cake from my parents, a simple meal with my family. Its simple but I always enjoy it, kids are so easy to satisfy. As I grow older, (mid-teens and early early twenties), birthdays are all about having fun, lots of gathering, lots of presents, lots of people, lots of everything. I was greedy then... its never enough. Now that I am in my mid-twenties *sobz*, I feel that I am reaching another phrase of birthday celebration. I prefer smaller, more intimate gathering. A few surprises is still nice though.
As I woke up this morning, I read the many birthday wishes I received and realised what a lousy friend I have been. I forgot to wish many of them on their birthday because I always have a big problem- always get the month right but never the date.
oh well... my birthday resolution is.... be a better friend, take the initiative to meet up with them, to call them and be genuinely concern about them.
This entry will definitely fail if its an essay as the paragraphs doesnt flow, but i prefer it this way. Its so me- always changing topics at an instant with a tinge of cynicism |

| counting down |
I just took a 14hr nap, supposed to call Rujin when I wake up as we were planning to spend some time together but oh well.... I must soo tired. I know how I always lamented people for not keeping their promise but I didnt expect myself to sleep for so long! I went to bed at 7pm, thinking that I will get up by 9.
Anyway I am soooo happy... received my 1st birthday present and card!!!! Its always warm and fuzzy when people remembers me, I feel important. wahahhaaha.
Thanks Zhirong, Vanessa and Justina for the lovely Mango bag (oh yesss.. it has seen daylight, carried it the very next day) and also Jonathan for sending me a birthday card all the way from Australia. Thanks u guys!!!!
I feel old... going to be 24 soon. How am i going to spend the remaining days of my 23th year? Tough decision. Its Studying for AFA vs. Everything else. haiz.. guess the answer is apparent. Exam this friday. |
