well, since I'm more in a blogging mood today...
We played dodgeball for PE yesterday. The only gripe I had was that A)The balls weren't hard and B) The groups were too small, so it wasn't as fun as it should be. Oh, and C) Playing with girls isn't always fun., no offence taken I hope.
Chinese lessons are getting more and more crappy, which is good. Apparently, we were supposed to do a zuo wen yesterday, but we ended up talking about youth dating and other random subjects, such as how he has a Vietnamese wife who isn't a whole lot older than me and a 1-year-old daughter since he couldn't find a Singaporean woman good enough for him(or vice versa). Certainly did leave me bemused.
Which of course made me wonder if marraige was something mandatory. I mean, if no woman or man suits your taste, that's the way it should be. Why go to some obscure Asian country and drive for 6 hours to find a spouse that you probably aren't going to love? Well he did come back with stories to fill 2 periods with, so I wasn't about to complain about it. Better him than us anyway.
Anyway, the best thing I took out of the lesson was that if I ever went backpacking or something I should go to Vietnam, since I can probably have a lobster and more for just over a dollar.

Denys and John appeared in the papers. Aside from them not being the most photogenic people in the world, I don't know what else to say about it other than my ex-trademark line of they only won because I didn't enter.

Oh, we celebrated Reyneth's birthday too. In true boys' school fashion. I would try to describe it, but words honestly do not describ the experience well enough. All I can say is that I feel unfulfilled and we probably could have done more for him. Right, Rey? =)

"Hello?"
Hia face barely twitched and his voice barely wavered from the deadpan tone he had mastered from long ago as he replied. He would hate to sound too excited, or too apologetic. Later on, he would feel like kicking himself. She deserved better than that.
Upon promising her that he would reach the appointed place in a matter of minutes, his legs shook and the blood started rushing all over his body. The blood pumped through his veins with a fury that only came when he was really nervous. He would not let anyone know it, but he was in fact looking forward to it more than before.
5 minutes later...
As the lift doors opened, he strolled towards her in a very nonchalant and relaxed matter. Rather, he walked normally, since he always looked indifferent anyway. Except his hands were sweating, but he knew he could hide it.
[The following is probably highly exaggerated. What actually happened shall be inserted in these brackets, for purposes of showing what rose-tinted lenses can do to a person.]
He didn't even have to call out; She turned around to look at him almost as if it was natural. [She was looking around and happened to see him.] As she turned, the dark and dreary shopping center almost seemed to sparkle with her brilliance as her hair drifted in the air like it was defying gravity ; Such was her magnificence that it almost seemed to defy earthly laws that were defined since thousands of years ago. [ She turned around, and it was somewhat obvious she was having a bit of a bad hair day. ]
She looked at him with eyes that were so sweet that he was certain he would melt under their gaze if he were a block of butter. Thankfully, he was made of sterner stuff, but it took all he had to meet the gaze of that pair of jewels that were radiant with life and purity.
And then she spoke.
