Back To Me...

So now that the euphoria of Liverpool's most unlikely triumph over AC Milan in the Champs League has finally started to wear down, again the spotlight has shifted back to me... Me and my little world, where each problem is excerbated tenfold, and each concern I have becomes magnified ten times in its dimensions, and any consequences that these problems might bring becomes ten times as serious.

The weather's been great the past couple of days, and I've been going back really late, enjoying the late night air. Its days like this where I especially wish I had a car, so that I would not be bound by the need to return home about the same time as the last bus passes by my place. These nights are all too rare in hot, humid Singapore... and they need to be celebrated, enjoyed, cherished, savoured. Sigh.

Again the theme song of my life... "If I were a rich man..."

Someone recently asked me how long has it been since I broke up, and I realised its been a little over 2 yrs. Man... It sure felt longer than that. Yesterday, at the condo, while my sis was talking to the developer and contractor, my mom decided it was the perfect setting to sit me down and talk about who I shd be dating, and what sort of girl should she be. I SO wanted to kill myself right there and then. (Hey, its a condo, right? Just jump!)

But I've come to realise that the impulse to get a girl does die down after a while. Don't get me wrong, I still wist on most days I had someone special to share my life with. But at least the impulse to make the first girl I can connect with my girlfriend, or the impulse to rationalise why this and that girl actually makes a good girlfriend (when she obviously doesn't), all dies down... and life starts to return to normal.

Took 2 bloody years.

Sigh.

No wonder I always suspected I'm a slow learner.

I think my YMCA job application just went out of the window oredi. They were looking for someone with at least a diploma, so I guess I was alwas just taking a shot at it only. But I'm actually a little bummed out by it, since it was such a perfect little arrangement. Working right beside my school... saving on time, transport costs... Also next to church. What more could I ask for man?

Simon called me yesterday. Apart from his really confused and confusing accent, he sounds like he's really enjoyed his stay in the States. Grins. And then Serene messaged me as I put down the phone, that Syl had just called her. So I was all of a sudden updated on the whole Lim family. Hehz.. Turns out that Syl's not exactly thrilled with her job scope and work arrangements, but I figure she'll adapt, and grow to like it la. She's quite spunky.

I wonder how Johann's doing... grins

Was intending to go to the gym to work out today, since I won't be running this sunday... but the weather's so great, I'm actually too lazy to go. Hehz...

I guess that means I'll just have to continue to really really watch what I eat. Amazingly, I bumped into my army sargeant last night at BK in Plaza Sing. He still looks as thin as ever. Dammit.

K, the thoughts are just getting too random now oredi, so I shall stop.

WHO THE FUCK READS BLOGS?????

  Just realised the number of views on my page. Absolutely bewildered by who out there still gets redirected to blogs. Surely no advertisers...
