Good morning... Not going to school today cos I need the rest... Not feeling well. Feel very lethargic. I don't want to do anything. But I have to... Yucks.

Sometimes you look at someone and wonder... What if circumstances were different? What if you were older, wiser, more good looking? Would things be better? Would it be better for me?
Then you ask... how can someone who fits almost all the pre-requisites be so unsuitable as well? Then you sigh in reluctant acceptance and struggle to move on...

Its like those baby toys you play with when you were young. The one where you match the different shaped objects into the appropriate slots. Imagines there's this particular shape. Lets say a star... and there's a star shaped slot on the box... And so you try to fit the shape into the slot... But sickeningly, it doesn't fit! Its exactly the same shape! But it doesn't fit because its too big. As a kid I would complain, "Its not fair! Its the same shape!". Thats how i'm feeling now... Wahahaha.

So I spent yesterday with Shaoxiong, Pat, Gan, Dennis & Liwei. Slacked a lot. Went to parkway after church. Took a long time to decide where to eat. Finally decided to go to delifrance (ripoffs). From delifrance to adidas store to MacDonalds for ice cream and then to cash converters. I bought Project 86's "Truthless Heroes" for $5. Cheaply!
After much time spent on deciding how to spend our sunday, we decided to go eat Punggol Nasi Lemak. Spent another 3 hours there eating drinking and talking nonsense. Really enjoyed discussing things with them. Getting their views and opinions on Christianity, the worship ministry, future spouses, etc... There's no need to put on a front when I'm with them. Although you get stick from them once in a while (quite often actually) you know that they've got your back.

Going to eat porridge now... I feel old.

What is it you want and what reality permits are two very different things.
