Shocks and Misses of Life
It has been a very long time since I've last did an entry. Last time I blogged, memories of the new year and christmas festive season were still lingering around my head. The reason being, firstly to give myself a well deserved break after plenty of blogging in the weeks before and secondly to sort myself out and see for myself what kind of year will it be for me. Sad to say, nothing constructive has been achieved this while. There were comings and goings, happenings, events worth remembering and of course some not. Being the ignorant person, I remained very much indifferent to whatever that's going on, partly feeling quite helpless to do anything. This can lead to a pretty boring life, one that I'm used to by now.
About half the people in my bunk are gone by now, posted out elsewhere. Though no longer together, we knew the friendship and brotherhood forged from our time together will keep us as good friends. This major change in my life brought about another minor change physically. Leaving my old bed for greener pastures, I settled for a cosier one at the corner of the room, now vacated after my friend left. I have equipped it with speakers and tons of pleasant pictures, mainly of Rui En, Jeanette Aw and friends. One friend even pointed out to me that I have even made it cosier than my own room. Well, since I have to stick it through for two bloody years, I might as well make it a comfortable stay.
While away, I've been attempting to catch up with many of the movies I missed in 2004 and boy, did I miss out on a bunch of wonderful flicks. Rented Shrek both 1 & 2, Harold and Kumar, Lost In Translation etc. Somehow, after watching Shrek, I think it best sums up my next shocker. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, my sister had half-heartedly mentioned that I should not be that disheartened about relationships and stuff. Even Shrek, being big, fat, ugly and green, has Lady Luck and Cupid working together for him in getting Princess Fiona. Kind of her to cheer me up and bring me some hope but I really did ponder about my chances with a pretty girl after watching Shrek. Then the bomb dropped on me. No, I did not hook up with a pretty girl but the so-called "right" girl I knew had pulled off a Princess Fiona. My friend was the messenger who broke this piece of disappointing news. Absolute shocker and knocked me out cold like a sucker-punch. I just hope that he isn't big, fat, ugly and green for her sake and mine but I do know for one that he is rather, rather... well, mature. THAT too, depleted my ideas and interest in blogging for awhile. But anyway...
Talking about fat, almost about everyone I know are quite harsh with their words these days. Except for a friend or two and my 'luohan' fish, the rest have been going on with how I have somehow grown bigger blah blah. "Oh aren't you in the army? My, you look bigger!" or "Wow, you look large now..." have greeted me everywhere. I anticipate a substantial increase in these rude comments come this chinese new year, with me seeing more of my relatives whom many of them I know are quite frank. As long I know what I've been doing, I feel I have no need to explain to the world nor feel guilty for my increase in size, especially if I've been pumping lots of iron and presses the past month(thanks to Princess Fiona and the ever maturing Shrek).
One good thing did come out of the past month though and that was Man United beating the hell out of those arrogant arses of Arsenal. I didn't thought we had a chance at Highbury but we came out tops 4-2! It was fantastic to see the look of resignation and despair on all those Arsenal players and of course, Wenger. Now to kick some rich blue asses with just 9 points between us... We have to show that money can't buy success.
Life's never easy and the going gets tough sometimes, things happen, you meet nice people and you meet bad ones too. Expect everything to happen. Turning 20 this year now, its time for me to sort life out. I guess everything here can be summed up by the words on my Nike wristband which has been with me ever since I got it from my friend, "LIVESTRONG".
