Good morning world. Felt really lousy yesterday. So didn't update... Today's test was bad... Its not a subject which I'm weak in but I just didn't study enough... :P Went to the airport after the test... Wanted to have a personal retreat...again. Had lunch at burger king. Barbecue Turkey Bacon Double Meal... Just try saying that. Dunno why they named it so long...

After lunch I made my way to the viewing mall.. Read the bible a bit and prepared for 'word' a bit... Learnt something from the bible. In proverbs 5:19, it says be intoxicated, exhilarated, captivated by her love. I was. But then in Songs of Solomon it says do not awaken love until it is ready... Its repeated 3 times.
Too soon... Now it might be too late.

As I was contemplating these thoughts, a groups of JC freshies came and plonked themselves 5 metres from where I was sitting... At first I was irritated by their presence, they were quite noisy. But they started playing games and doing forefeits which were quite funny... Some of them included rolling on the floor, asking strangers for the time while wearing 4 watches. The killer one was when one guy had to kiss another guy. It was a bit lame... It could have been over and done with in 2 seconds. Instead he complained and argued for about 15 minutes... Which reminds me of myself? I wonder how things might have been if I hadn't fought and struggled so hard... Maybe thats why God told me one year? He knows thats how long I'd take to get better? Anyway, there was this girl that attracted my attention... She was quite cute. For a few moments, I wondered what it'd be like having another girlfriend. How nice it'd be to be loved again. How nice it'd be to hold someone again. I considered approaching her and asking for her phone number. I would have done it... 2 things stopped me. The promise and thoughts of Eileen. It'd never be the same. I refuse to believe that love is replaceable. Not unless there is a good reason to do so. (eg. She gets married or does something super wrong)

Spent about 7++ hours at the airport... I'm enjoying these times alone with God. Felt so at peace after that. Went to meet Matt, Shen, Cheng and Denise at Raimah at about 9pm.. After dinner we went to the community centre to play basketball. Yesh, you read right... Me, daryl, played basketball... hahaha. We beat this group of basketball players. They were wearing the gear and everything. Imagine losing to a team with me in it... HaAHaHahaha... Losers.

It was a fun day. Really enjoyed myself. Have to go sleep soon... Hafta wake up to go to church tomorrow at 8am.. Playing for some meeting. Goodnight... Everyone repeat after me, "God... Is... Good..."
