In Addition

Now that most of the ache has passed, and I can think past the pain barrier, and can type properly, I hope I can be blogging more coherently.

Hehz...

Just went to Meritus Mandarin last night. Triple Three. Grins. Boy, have I missed that restaurant. Food was great, ambience was fantastic, all in all I had a really great time. And the fact that my aunt was paying sure helped. Hehz...

Was thinking back to the movie, A Beautiful Mind. And I guess something pretty minor struck me - John Nash was trying to propose to his wife - scientist style, and asked if there was any way he could get her to prove to him that she truly loved him. She gave him an answer of sorts, and they happily got married. But I guess the real answer was provided over the next 30 yrs when she stuck by him, despite there being any number of occasions by which she could have left him legitimately. Amazing stuff.

Recently there was a court case in Singapore where a woman who suffered permanent brain damage was being fought for between her parents, and her husband, where both sides wanted custody of her. I guess cynicism aside, (I dun think there was a lotta money to be gained) they just wanted to be the ones who had the right to take care of her. I guess it was actually viewed as a rather bizaare case, but it more or less showed that some measure of goodness really does exist. As Samwise Gamgee said, "There's still some good left in the world, Mr Frodo. And its worth fighting for."

I'm still recovering from Man Utd's tragic loss. But its ok, Peng. In the face of such injustice, there's still some good left in the world.

Grins.

Though everyone's still crazy over Tong Hua, by Guang Liang, I'm actually over it oredi. Now more into another song, Di Yi Ci... also by him. Thus the new song on the left. Hehz...

I'm feeling really pretty lethargic lately. Not exactly having bad dreams, but just this sense of awareness that I'm not really alseep, but part of me is awake... Don't think I'm so much feeling depressed as I am just again back to my wistful state. Dreaming of all the things that could have been. That I had graduated. At least I've moved on past wisting I was still with Grace. Just wisting I was with someone else. Grins. (Names starting with F and ending with A are a bonus...) Wisting that I was holding a steady job, and I was another 15kg lighter... Wisting I was a Mini Cooper happier... that sorta things... hehz...

My pockets of life where I'm in that state of perpetual daydreams. Is it just me? Always wondered if I just have too much time on my hands, or if other people have these pockets too.

Just finished another book by Les and Leslie Parrott, called Relationships. Yeah, I guess I'm really pretty interested in the topic. Not just the romantic kind, but the normal friendship kind till even the one with God. And I guess they shed some pretty good light on certain issues.

They claimed that of the different categories of close friends, there are the ones whom they called Friends of the Road, and Friends of the Heart. Friends of the road are very close friends whom you spend one season with cos you're walking the same road... college, job, church... But there comes an end to that season where the friendship comes to a closure cos of different pursuits. Friends of the Heart are the different kinds that you make, and who somehow stay involved in your life through all the different seasons. Those who can actually have keep the commitment going way after we've reach a crossroad and gone our seperate ways.

Was thinking back to a conversation I had with Paul, long ago, about the friends in our lives who have come and gone... Our disappointments that our investments in the relationship were not recipocrated, and they just moved on... And I guess I liked how the book talked about the different relationships that we all need to look out for, and develop. And how we actually need a little of all of these different relationships.

Its a good book. =)

Alright, gotta run now. Am now wondering which book I should read next.

Hmm...

Mebbe my textbook.

Muahahahahahaha...

Good idea?

I think so too.
