It has been 3 days since school started. How those 2 weeks of Mid-Sem break seem to fly. Well, at least I know I made good use of it =)

Tuesday (19/6)

Finally the J.A.R.S watched Shrek 3 at Cathay. Seriously the baby ogres and 'Dronkeys' are uber-cuuuuuuute! Lunch at Fish & Co's Glass House. I'll never be able to finish that one whole main course. "STONE-ed" Cracks me up lah Sue! Walked around PS, where we then somehow ended up at the Esplanade. And, wow! Some kinda emo session. One of the most emo sessions I've 'attended' =X Funny thing bout' me is that I get emo few hours AFTER the session =\ Should have gone with more cans of Iced Lemon Tea lah.

Thursday (21/6)

Surf's Up with the 3/5 the Kambings (1 Kambing 'sesat', while the other had project meeting in sch, who came later eventually) Oh yah, plus 2 'adik-s' of Rad K. The movie was OH-kay. The journeys to and fro were like.. Let's just say if someone doesn't REALLY know the way, it can get funnily frustrating. Ended up at Pasir Ris Interchange. 6 girls waiting for 1 guy. Aiyo =\

Saturday (23/6)

The first time I brought my mum out in the ride after like 2 months getting my license? Watched Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer with Sarah, FX, Jason and KX. This is where the weird part comes in. We see Desmond our Pri Sch mate at NTUC. Then Joann, and then followed by ZX and Luq. AND then, I saw Khai, who was apparently lost. Me and Sarah concluded that the things girls and guys talk bout' when they bump into each other are totally different =\ And it's amazing how guys who are strangers to each other can talk like long-time buddies cos' they have one subject in common: NS. After the movie, which was around midnight, we headed to ECP for supper. The journey, there again, was funnily frustrating, especially when Sarah demonstrated what to do in case of an accident, airplane style, actions and announcements all included. Lols!

Sunday

Had to accompany mum for the day. So, to the 8 of us:

I'M SORRY =(

Monday (25/6)

1-way emo session night with Sarah & FX at HAJI Kader's (I think he just returned from Haj).

Tuesday (26/6)

A day out with Bolz. Nuff' said =X

Wednesday (27/6)

Only Julie knows what happened. And it shall stay that way. HAH.

So after all that has happened within these 2 weeks or so, I've a few random thoughts:-

1) Just as I thought the easiest part of all these was leaving, it suddenly took a 180 degree turn.

2) The dreams, the aspirations we have. In the time to come, will we be able to achieve them all? Will we be who we want to be? Will we be who our friends say we'll be?

3) Quality, not quantity, they say. So how did the phrase, "Too much, too soon", come about?

"To err is human, to forgive is divine."

Yes, forgiving is a virtue, a virtue practiced way back centuries ago. To the time when Prophet Muhamad forgave the commoners for treating him cruelly.

But no one said anythin' bout forgiving BUT not forgetting (in my view at least). I used to think I was the type. With all the"I'm sorry"-s and "I really feel bad"-s spoken yet, you'll always have that certain incident etched at the back of your head always. It's not as if it's somethin' you remembered on purpose, it's just a moment in time you happen to remember, and it just happened to be bad. And maybe sometimes when you recollect bout' those incidents, you'll let out a tear or two.

That was until someone told me that if you've truly forgiven someone, it'll be forgotten, cos the fact that you haven't forgotten bout' it only spells that you still hold a grudge against that person. I pondered over it for some time, and maybe am still pondering over it.

Nevertheless, the most vital for me is closure after the mishap. 'Cos even after an argument, if you don't come to terms bout' the bad blood i.e. talking bout it, the thought of the incident will still be lingering. And even with all the apologies, it's just plain nothing.

To conclude, I will forgive and I won't forget 'cos if you forget, what's there to serve as a reminder to not repeat the same thing over? To put it even shorter, "To forgive and seek closure" cos frankly, I won't forget.

And besides, I can't afford to bear any grudges when I eventually leave.

This entry was not meant to spite anyone. Any 'terase-ness' to anyone living or dead, bouncing lizards or what not is purely coincidental =)

I don't understand how people generally can put on a fake front. It's like being a hypocrite within oneself. I'm so going to suffer in the business world =X

Apart from my random thoughts, I've been watching Bones Seasons 1 & 2. Do I dare say it's probably better than CSI. It makes you feel for the victims, and of course the main characters. Who would have thought psychology and anthropology could exist in 1 show, when the latter is all bout hard facts and the former is subjective? And if I can sob like a baby for Season 2's finale, the rest of you'd better get ready a 1 month's supply of Kleenex on standby.

And yes, the mid-sem tests are finally over. Having afternoon papers is sucha b*tch. Not only do you have to study the day before, but you'd feel obliged to study in the morning of the test day. Sucha bummer. BUT, it IS over.

I'd downloaded all of the albums of Westlife I hadn't heard, even their first album, though I own 2 of them. Why? Cos' apparently I've lost them. Both of them! Geez.

Memory only serves me from Thursday onwards, so here goes:

Thursday

CRA Test. I think the paper was do-able, but it was kinda tedious (which accounting paper is not tedious, seriously). Went to have some kinda early dinner at IKEA. The way it's built, one would get sucha great exercise even if one didn't intend to in the first place. HAH. To WhiteSands and some camp in Changi. Home.

Friday

Last paper, F.Tax. Neither good nor bad. Right. Had another early dinner, but this time at WhiteSand's Cavana. "Food got standard de lah". Headed to Bedok to drop YL, so might as well drop in on Sue eh? So, whatever happens at the void deck, stays at the void deck. Hah.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All these while having friends in the front seat with me, I've observed a few characters.

The one who kinda knows the directions, but when she gets it wrong, we end up in a 'heated argument'. The one, Julie.

The one who questions if you can really drive. The one, Sam.

The one who is very sure of the directions, and doesn't make you 'kan-cheong'. The ones, Nad and YL.

The one whom when you're driving around her area, and you just wanna make sure you've got the right directions but she intentionally tells you it is the wrong way. The one, Sue.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They say first impressions count. It's unfair to some, but advantageous to others. It's just a fact of life. Never judge anyone till you truly know that person.

I slept at 5am on Friday night. I was chatting with a friend I hadn't spoken to in a very wrong time, and she just happened to say 'hi'. Laughing to myself in the middle of the night. Catching up on each other's happenings. Memories of back then, which were bittersweet. People from the past, how much they've changed. How we were 'kids', doin' all the petty things e.g 9/11 But people change, and we've to embrace these changes, no matter how good or bad they are, cos changes are here to stay.

And petty guys put me off, seriously.
