Norms of a typical day

My weekends are rather productive because after the long torturing cease down period, i can actually resume those activities that fulfilled my purpose in this life. And also to revive the once lost feeling of smelly kallang water and satisfaction after a long day's hot & intense training. Today junhong was asking what's the meaning of shag and how tired is shag, i secretly thought that it is quite silly of him to not know. Then the idea of how the generation had changed over the years just struck me. Yes, this is how fast the society changes; children are getting smarter each year, syllabus are getting harder, bench mark for national examinations are getting higher. Maybe the slow & steady suits me best because it always wins the race, does it? Maybe not in this time round.

We were supposed to catch a movie in Vivo yesterday but tickets were sold out. Disappointment set in because it would always be the case for us to catch a movie in Vivo. No movies and this led us to kaya & butter bread at harbour front and back to the boyfriend's area to catch the movie - 'Accuracy of Death'. It is almost a replica of the book 'For one more day' where it revolves around life and death. However, the movie was rather monotonous and i admit i fidgeted quite abit in my seat. Sorry.

I'll trade anything just to mend those times

When i was 13, i had this malay guy as my classmate but it was not until 14 that we started talking to each other and without realising, we became so close that everyone who knew us literally thought we were together. Whenever he was late for school, i would feel a tad disppointed and wonder if he would still be down. Lessons were never boring when he was around because we'd always sit side by side and talk non-stop - there was this one time, the teacher had to change our seats. After school, we'd always go home together if nothing came in the way. At times, he would come to my house to hang around or had dinner with my family. He was also a great helper who drew my DnT pictures and helped me with the practical. Yes, like all best friends, we did quarrelled but it takes a little coaxing to do the trick.

The memorable episode was after our prelims, we made use of the study break to travel to NTU almost everyday to meet our teacher for extra lessons. Then it will be till the wee hours that we bid each other goodbye after he sent me home. After the O'levels, he confessed to me on msn. I was taken aback by it but after much pondering, i decided to give it a go. Never will i imagined, things would turn upside down for us because the chemistry was not there and everything's wrong right in the beginning. I finally told him the truth that we would not work out. It was vague - i admit; i din't give myself a chance to give a concise explanation. No doubt, it was a terrible setback for him.

Since then, i did not manage to contact him because his hp line was cut off and i no longer saw him on msn. After a few years, i got to know his hp number from a friend and i text him. However, things had apparently changed over the years, that closeness could not be felt again. I truly regretted why i even started a relationship with him when everything's going fine as platonic friends then. It is impossible to rewind back and undo those grave mistakes committed. Yes, i would desire that kind of friendship i fostered with him if there comes a chance in time to come.

When the world stops turning

Yes. My blog was stagnant for the past few days because my mind was lagged and when finally i could have the computer all to myself, im just too worn out to post. I am totally clueless how i actually feel sometimes - for everything that had happened to me; it's hard not to have emotions running all over me constantly. Most of the time, i could not handle these but let it manipulate my mind. Unprecedented events always occur - never having happened before does not mean won't happen. Maybe i should induct myself into wonderland so that i can incalcate some positive outlook notions in my heavily polluted mindset.

I get to realise now how tough it is to have a strong will power & determination and this particular person whom i met through dragonboating inspires me. Cliche as it may sound but i admit it was his first appearance that caught my attention. Well, that's the same case for Zak, if you're reading. Because he won the Amazing Race Asia despite being a hearing impaired and given that his speech was also affected and also because he told a story about his life.

A piece of heaven sheltering above me

Its the second week of May but it doesn't feel like it because i've lost track of time. I've been feeling quite excited because i can finally get back to training with the girls like the good old days - not to say that everything's gonna be the same but at least a nostalgia of those training days will be retain. Yesterday evening was spent with Zak, Pam & YS, dinner was at Long John's. Yes, gossips as usual at Starbucks and coincidentally chanced upon Vincent. What a small world or maybe Singapore is just so tiny. Well, at least i get to see them - more of them when i resume training maybe?

Summer love

Mother's day is kicking in together with her birthday, i've been a very filial daughter who had prepared almost everything for her. I love my mum like how a joey clings onto its mother, because she gets along pretty well with the boyfriend, says the most random things and taught me cantonese. Somehow the boyfriend is picking it up but often on the wrong side - all thanks to my mum. Somehow she touched my life;this is somehing im certain of.

PS with the boyfriend & 'Iron Man' after that;


PS: You put a smile on my face.

Right in your face

The weekends are finally kicking in and it had been quite sometime that i had last seen a couple of friends. I got to meet up with Kegan and Justin awhile ago, spent precious time jabbering and eating. Here i am blogging when i am supposed to be with the boyfriend right now because of some stupid cadets who lost their navigation and the boyfriend had to wait for them to be back. Brunei is barely a week away and i totally abhor the idea -somehow i am going to end up like Estee.

Sometimes the thought of smothering my tutee is going to come true soon because i've almost lost my patience with him. A couple of times he would go like this:
Me: Do you undestand?
Him: HANNAH! (Agitated)
How annoying can that get?!!

Wednesday was bunking in at the boyfriend's and pasta mania at TM and our intention to catch 'Iron Man' was to be abandon because the cinema was literally full.
Thursaday was barbequing at downtown east which was a tad boring and the boyfriend's turn to bunk in.
