Suckered!

You know sometimes you are presented with a dilemma of choosing something that will be good to have but not really essential?

Here let's run through the shopping faux pas that I committed:

1) I got about 5 pairs of shoes now.... But I only got a pair of feet!~ And I am thinking of adding in number 6 and 7!~

2) Buying milk, yogurt and vitagen at the same time in the supermarket... Hello???

3) Having a Sony-Ericsson phone, Nokia phone and LG phone, using them interchangeably and at still entertaining thoughts of getting an i-Phone. God, I hate myself....

4) Going out to buy a macbook despite using a desktop at work and at home. Now there are 6 computers at home... for 4 users... :(

The Sweet and Bitter Post

What am I think these days? The sweet sense of euphoria that comes from knowing that someone will accompany you for dinner, play games with you and don't you be surprised..., offering a personalized alarm clock service!~ Yes! she's that cute. and I am gushing. Yes!

I must say that I often pride myself for being the logical one when it comes to such things. Not that I am not logical now, but for years I ran solo along and for a while, thought that at my speed, it is very difficult for anyone to catch up... but it sure looks like someone finally caught up with me. Bit by bit, I think I am losing control and falling in love with her....

The last I checked, she is not ready to commit yet, but I am certain that this fondness that is growing between us... it's mutual...

I am like a complete idiot when I am around her! A massive downgrade from the normal idiot that I already am all the time. So much that for chalking up phone bills of almost $80 bucks.... Oh, my rational self, can you pls return soon???

Back to serious stuff, I am hitting the books again and flunking exams again. So much that sometime, I am almost certain that books and me don't mix. As I am typing this, I have two papers waiting for me. The last paper that I did this morning, Corporate Reporting and Global Accounting was a utter disaster. How was I to know that I am on the wrong track yet writing away happily, realizing only after it. It seems that most of the time, the one thing that I didn't study will come out. It frightens me to be so uncannily accurate half the time.

I am so dead! Third Class here I come!~

Farewell Shoes

Farewell, my pair of trusty new balance running shoes.

You were dusty, dirty and nearly worn out at the soles.... A result of serving me through countless runs and grueling distances. Together, we made it through at least two hundred click. You were not the best, but you were trustworthy. I am sad to lose you, especially when the first trail run of my life is coming up...

May the thief who made off with you.... use you wisely!

I am damn too-lan after I couldn't find my shoes (of course, afterall it was stolen!) when I wanted to go running... So to all out there, do not leave your shoes alone at the shoe rack outside your flat unit.... My estate did not have this problem in the past... only in recent years!

It is a sign that Singapore has indeed grown a little messier!

Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man,
And lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy,
Humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language,
And shoddy cursive I've been reading
Your style is quite selective,
Though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests
That this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
'Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick
And probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy,
Depending on how you take these
Words I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt oh dear
Cause here we are, Here we are
Here we are [x7]
We're still here
What a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

Through timeless words, and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds, out of this earth
And times they turn, and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses, and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it.

On that thing call "Relationship"

This post is long overdue and honestly, I hate to write about this topic. The reason being that this topic is such that I have a lot of grievance about, yet not a lot of practical experience. I have been placing this topic off long enough. :(

Well, my scout mentor ROM recently. The ground work was laid by him sometime ago with constant hinting that the day will come soon. Yet when the day occurred, I am still a little shocked and amazed on the herculean guts that one needs to take this step. For that I offer him a scout sign or half salute (or whatever they have gotten to call it these days).

I want to keep this short. so I am gonna leave this to a numbered list.

1) The one crush that I had in school while in lower Sec did not go so well when courtship was equated to harassment.

2) The other crush that I had of my scout friend's girlfriend god sister, she suffered from extremely low self esteem and sensitivity. Sadly, due to my young age and immaturity, it crashed and burned.

3) The other crush I had in upper secondary... It went well, everything was according to the plan till the confessional stage. And it all went downhill from there. Till today, I am still left wondering what happened? And that was the only time I was serious in secondary sch. Attracting the affections of 5(+1 maybe?) different girls in school in different period of which 2 I would be more then happy to be friends with all my life. However, this misplaced affection that they carried made it difficult for me to be normal around them. It got so bad that I ceased going to the canteen during recess. I know. I am immature.

4) The +1 for above is the strangest of all. She's 2 years my junior... We went for a date and exchanged conversations a bit. Subsequently due to exams, I had to cease contact for a while. I can't remember the specifics, but we lost contact.... until a couple of years later, i receive an sms from her out of the blue thanking me. Now hear this! I was being thanked as she has finally gotten over me and I have ceased being a fixture in her life and preventing her from moving on.... it was definitely a wtf moment for me? I wasn't even sure that we were together in the first place. I suspect that she has a problem with reality.

5) This one was when I was in poly and its a case of not knowing what I want and therefore I accidentally sent out some confusing signals. On hindsight, I think she wants us to be together. But I am not sure if I want to commit. Needless to say, this fizzled out after a while too.

6) I had the hots for her and it was mutual. But she was playing hard to get then and I was too dense to fall for it, hook, line and sinker. Eventually we did get together after 2+ years of probable guessing. But all this guessing got us pretty tired out after a while. Honestly, both of us tried to made it work.... but alas, there were too many things against us. eg. her exams, friends etc.... Heck, even the state was against us. (Think NS!) After giving it shot after shot, I had to admit that it really wouldn't work. Still she will always be special to me. I actually hopes that she realises that soon and that I would very much like her to actually slow down her pursuit of goals in life to enjoy her life more. Even now, when I get drunk, memories of her will still bubbles vividly in my mind even when I am in a drunken stupor.

7) Got to know of this girl while on a trip in a very unique setting. She is cute in a very silly way! I guess the adorableness drew me to her. But the gap between us is so enormous that I didn't know where to begin to bridge it. Managed to stay in contact for a while after the trip back in Singapore... until contact ceased due to other priorities in life.

8) Entering the working world, in my first job which is a most male dominated industry, I managed to date this client for a while and.... it was really bad. I have never met a more boring person!~

9) Moving on to my second colleague, I also had the unfortunate encounter of harboring affections for a colleague which (speaking from a relationship view,) should be doomed right from the start. Logically, everything is wrong. but affection wise, it never felt better. The one that you can't have is the one that you love most. This statement certainly applies here. Here's another point to add, 有缘无份, 相逢恨晚！

10) I am about to start numero 10. Honestly I don't know how this will pan out. I actually felt a little excited about numero 10. And I hope that everything goes well.

For some reasons, all the girls that got involved with me one way or another all became prettier after I hadn't seen them for a while. I wonder long and hard myself for a reason too (maybe I am something like a good luck chuck?). I guess for girls who happens to read this blog, consider me an alternative from plastic surgery? lol!
