Return of the Foolish Fool

Boy, how time flies. The last time that I actually touched this blog was nearly two months ago! Guess I failed to fulfill my promise of "soon" with regards to those photos... bleah. You know it has been too long when two attempts to log-in are necessary for the system to recognize you and your own blog's design looks new to you. Well, this period of enforced absence definitely has it reasons, being required to hand in 5 studies and essays in two months is surely a valid reason. So, before the wonderful month of March comes to an end, I felt obliged (and I also found some free time, finally) to blog this certain period in case my memory fails to capture it, not that there is anything memorable to begin with... but, oh well... After all, the CNM lessons did say that blogs are important for an individual's growth and well-being, at the end of the day, when you look back at those entries that you have written which cannot be erased away completely, they mark a progression of your growth. Just like how "unforgettable" some people and events can be, especially when something so traumatising has been inflicted.
It is amazing that how certain people has the perception that either 1) they are invisible to the naked eye or 2) I have been living in a cave all this while. Well, if you got the guts to do it, at least have the decency to own up and come clean with it. But, I did promise myself not to harp over this unfortunate incident again, just needed to get these "irritants" off my chest.
Another factor that indirectly brought my attention to this blog again was Serene, who reminded me about the existence of blogs through hers. Having forged a closer friendship with this cheerful girl, I have also introduced her into this world of mine (and some pretty nonsensical writing as well). She had the misfortune to accompany me through a bad patch as my friendship with Xue encountered some difficulties, which was caused by some insensitive comments and childish remarks, and almost left it in ruins. Serene played the part of the mediator, and somehow helped to soothe the highly frustrated and awkward Xue. Hopefully everything is back to normal now and the bond of friendship may be strengthened by this unpleasant incident.
On a happier note, Singapore did beat Thailand in the ASEAN championship and was crowned Asean Champions. It had never made me so proud to don the national team jersey, bought with my own money (it actually costs 70 bucks). It was also Aly's birthday present too, an idea that Fabius came up with. Fortunately for us, Aly was extremely pleased and delighted with the jersey.
March was also a busy month as I was recruited as a helper in Foodhunt and heavily involved in the annual Futsal Open @ The Cage. Helping and planning these events was indeed exhausting, but the fun and satisfaction upon completing the events were just rewards for our efforts. It opened my eyes to the world of women's football too, and to be honest, looked extermely impressive, especially the champions of the women's category. Closer friendship bonds were forged among our team members too and it was pretty memorable, thanks to my fantastic "boss" Kenneth and to Serene as well, who was the head of Foodhunt. Also, without participating in these two events, I would not have the chance to befriend a medic (cute and hot girl). Good news, she is a sociology major (which I would most probably be too) but bad news, the same old story (attached).
This is the story so far as I come to the eve of April's Fool. Nothing major, nothing happening, nothing memorable, nothing very good has happened. Will everything change and just turn out to be a big sadistic trick tomorrow? I certainly hope so, but to believe in that kind of rubbish will just certify that I am indeed a fool come 1st April.
