Hot day
Seriously, is telling a rejection so difficult?
Of course, it will vary amongst different people. Out spoken and straightforward people would find it much easier coz they are born with it. Not forgetting the constrains of sensitivity. Well, let's just remove all these complexity and speak general.
I mean, why...? in conversation oline. If you don't feel like talking to the other more participating person, you can't put it out frank to that person. Instead, u have to give that person the hope or possbility by giving all sorts of pleasant-to-the-ear excuses. Omg.
This is true for dating too.. omg. Don't like then say it out lah. Sigh. Eh, however before you reject, please consider first lah.
Personally, if i don't like a person, i'll tell that person straight. I'll never allow the other party to wait just because i give excuses to leave that party's hopes suspending in mid-air.
Be decisive. Sigh.. not forgetting some compassion.

De one with Running
ASPIRATION
I remember i started the habit of jogging when i was around secondary 1. My late mother will bring me to the park to jog. After that, i gave up. Before i really started this habit again when i was charged with the Power of Love to slim down at the end of my sec 2 year.
Think back.. i was really embarassed by my foolishness. Tried so hard to slim down 10kg just because i fell for a sweet girl who was in the same band as me. Omg! Yet, i was thankful, that changed my life to living a healthier lifestyle. One which i don't have to live in the misery of being obesed.
By the end of sec 4, i was already able to run the whole of bishan park B. Then, always going for frequent jogs with this good friend of mine, Yuyan who was also living convinently nearby my granny's place (i've always lived in my granny's place for convinence of going to school now and then). Of course, thanks to this. I was able to run the gold timing for my 1.6km for NAPFA test.
This capability enabled me to perform better during my junior college years. I managed to improved my 2.4km timing under 10min 30sec. In addition, i was able to complete the annual SRJC Road race of an average 5km timing of <25mins.>lah.
In SISPEC, my running ability was brought to tremandous improvement. I managed to clinch the 2nd or 3rd in my platoon with a 2.4km timing of around 10flat. This last throughtout my Artillery Specialist Course.
However, my peak occured after i was posted into 23rd Singapore Artillery Battalion. Within the mere 1 yr plus of commitment to Arty Cross Country, Army half marathon and inter-unit relays, i unleashed the ability to run faster. Achieving a timing of 9 mins for my latest IPPT 2.4km. And unforgettable fastest timing of 8min 46 s.
Hehe..hope i can be able to further improve and develop my running ability.
Greatest aspiration: To achieve 2.4km timing <8min>

De one with 20.06.2006
Morning downpour, clear skied evening
I didn't realise the interesting fact about today until i received a sms from a long-lost friend named Flora (for more info about this person, pls stay tune for blog abt my secondary school days..hehe). If you were conscioused enough to note that the date is 20.06.2006. With all those seperators removed. Wala! it's the amazing double of 20062006!
hmmm... oki. i see that puzzled look and the loud thought screaming :LAME
For today, as per usual, played pc game all morning.
Met my bestest friend cum campmate, Chin Yu at Orchard in the afternoon. Oops. really sorry i was abit late. Before i reached, he was already complaining about him being under "attacked" by the surveyers looming there.
We brunched at Yoshinoya. Wuao. The currently promoted "super meal" was very filling. It comes with a rice bowl of your choice. With addition of a sea coconut dessert, chawamushi and a choice to choose between miso soup or a small fruit punch.
After that, we went shopping at the usual places, usual route. Heeren > Cineleisure > PS. Oooh..i went to have my second ear peircing at 77th street at PS. Omg! Compared to my very first experience, it's soring painful. Hear-say that ear peircing changes/alters a person's life. Well, i was abit superstitious. So i decided to have a 2nd to reverse back my better life after it was "roti prata" by my first peircing. Surprisingly, met Mohan, after not having seen him for weeks since his departure for his tour in Czeh Republic.
Went to Cityhall. Met another unexpected figure - Francis (our ASC course-mate and battalion mate) who was waiting for his friends at the mrt. Went to New urban male to sort out my delayed-membership matter. After which Chin Yu and me headed home after strolling around Marina Square.
Went to meet my "bro", his stead and my super-good-friend, Edwin to dine at this oolu neighbourhood coffee shop at AMK Ave 2. Well, little did i expect the Western Food there was delicious and filling. For a reasonable price of 6.90 bucks, you can get a big-serving of western food. I had Cajun Chicken meal. Yummy.
What an adventurous day well spent! : )

De one with a boring Sunday
Frequent showers
I believe to most people, weekends, especially Sundays, is the day everybody look most forward to. That's because it's a well deserved and long-awaited-for-day to spend going out, enjoyment. Simply because it's a day whereby most friends will be free.
For me, it's the other way. Oops. Perhaps because i'm currently not working bah. Anyway, woke up at 9am. Turn out it was rainning - the idea of going for a morning jog just "fell and sqwashed unto my head".
Indeed, nice weather to sleep but i was up playing SIMS 2 on my lappy. Phew.. lasted my whole day til noon that i decided to rest my eyes and switch to some other activity.
Watched korean drama "Romance" all over again (i've watched it before). Nothing better to do mah. By the way, it has my favourite actor in it > Jin Zhai Yuan. Omg. Nearly cried watching the sad scenes. Wanna know? hehe, BORROW the drama from me then u'll know liao!!
Weather in the evening was good. Permitted me to go for a light jog. After that, i was late to meet Andrew, Vance and Jeffrey (for the first time) at Orchard Rd. We dined @ Fish n Co, Wheelocke Place. Supposedly, too, to celebrate Jeffrey's birthday (which is tomorrow). Walked around. Had dessert at Scott's foodcourt before heading home. Vance and Andrew kept teasing why all the drinks i drank were all sour. Sigh..
Yup. What a boring Sunday (spare the meeting with V, A and J) a single has spent today.
Omg! I must get a life soon!!!

De very first one
Sunshine with initial grey clouds
HEy!
I have a blog before..however sadly, i couldn't find and figure out my former passwards and username. (sobz)
Well, it's alrite. I've decided to start a new blog account. Hopefully this wil stay thru'out for a period.
Today's 14th. The very four months ago, i was spending this very special Valentine's Day with an overly special someone i've only known for a month ago. Really unfortunately, this relationship, like that mentioned in Jay Chou's song titled Long Juan Feng, ended as fast and easily as it'd started.
Sigh.~
Early morning i went for a light jog in the nearby Bishan Park (the one with the fishing pond), of around 3km. Soon after, i met my "bro" for a swim at Bishan Swimming Complex. hehe
what an achievement! I swam around 5-6 laps in free style. For all i can say, it's commendable for an ameature swimmer like me. (oops, sumimasen. I can run better than swim)
Though sun-tanning wasn't really that as desirable. Bro and i brunched at J8's food court. After that just walk around. Went into two VCD stores in anticipation of the release of Underworld : Evolution and Ice Age 2. However, end up only with disappointment.
Reached back home around 1400+ near 1500 hrs. I decided to watch the new vcds i've bought yesturday when i was out job-hunting with my close friend, Clara.
I watched "A season for Love". A korean film chronicies4 pairs of characters. About how they deal with love, loss and life in romantic, loosely interconnected stories. There's this lover. About how this 30 year old fire-fighter wanting to proposed to his lover but lost his ring at the fire station. Due to this, he delayed his proposal..unable to give his lover the assurance (who was waiting for the proposal and worrying about losing him due to the dangerous job). By the time things turned out right and he found the ring, he didn't get the chance to propose to his lover at the dinning resturant (the place where the girlfriend had always wanted to be proposed at). He died in a mission to save hostage in a burning warehouse. He did left a box (with the ring in it) and a video from the fire-scene..sign-languaging "I love you" to the girlfriend..
:: I cried. Thinking of the fustrating agony of being held up by ill-fate and unexpected obstacles in life..preventing one from getting to the one you really love so much. Why is it so that two people who are truly in love with each other, end up not destined to be together. Like Jay's Qing Tian.
There's this story about an 8 year old boy who desperately misses his career-minded mother who was hospitalised after diagnosed with stomach/cevics cancer. This enabled the son and mother to spend more time together. In the milst, the boy got to read and learn about their history from his mother's diaries. About how she brought the child up after the maternal father deserted them after her refusal to have the baby aborted. Towards the end, the condition of the cancer got worse. The helpless boy cried and plead outside the hospital, in the rain. Repeating how he will be a good and behaved boy if the mother wouldn't die.
:: This reminded me of the desperation of how i prayed. Thinking of all the impossibly foolish and possibilities which i could trade with God or Destiny, to get my late-mummy's life back.
Erm.. i shall take about this in other entries (?)
Next was a long-termed relationship between a guy who cannot find a job and a long-suffering woman who is beginning too tired of their relationship. The guy went against all odds, to look up and protect the woman he loved. End up, the guy found a job as a messenger for people who find it difficult to break up with their partners personally. In the end, this poor guy's client turned out to be the girlfriend who wanted to break up with him, stating a reason that she has already found a new love. There's this scene he was standing outside the supermarket store the girlfriend was working in. Him looking at his reflection on the glass window and saying what he normally delievered for his on-line clients, in tears.
:: A heartbreaking part of Love is the parting and letting go in the end of a relationship. It's about giving up the one you have been holding on too in your heart for so long. Giving up the one which your heart has been alive and beating on for. It's about forgetting the thought for patch-back, and letting your heart understand the true meaning of letting go, so that your love can find their happiness. It's about forgetting your selfishness. So as to give your sincere blissing to your love and their new-found companion.
Last is the situation about a deaf girl (the younger sister of the firefighter's girlfriend) falling in love with a handsome painter, dreaming of a perfect love. Yet kept apart due to a terrible burn on her left cheek.
:: I weeped. Remembering how my lastest relationship failed due to my shortcomings which lead to the ultimate reason of diffierences in interest. Sigh. If true love isn't about looks; about seeing the other party's imperfection as perfection... why do such heart-shattering failure befall relationships in which people really put alot of efforts and hardwork in it?...
Love really comes in many forms. I'm really tired. Why love ends and begins.. allowing space for despair, heartaches which last what seemes forever.
