nicole, in a classic case of random stupidity (in lai's words) :
"there are three states of water. solid, liquid, and ice."and i took 10 minutes to get that. my brain must be turning into slush laughing at ms lio's pronounciation of "cyclical".
talking about slush, i must say that sylvester sim's latest advertisement for 7-11's slurpee thing has a really apt slogan/title/whatever. BRAIN FREEZE. gee, the marketers must have been laughing their asses off as they passed him the script of one line, cos he probably thought he was
cool. whee.
anyway, just a musing i had in the morning in the car. you know how people always find loners and hermits weird. why's that so? is it because they have no friends? perhaps the lack of any friends suggest that there is something wrong with them. if not why would everyone be avoiding them? but i don't really think that's the case. it's more of the fear of an enigma. as the saying goes, "a man is judged by he company he keeps". if there is no visible comparison, it confuses people with the lack of a yardstick. we always like to categorize people and things. not being able to do that to someone is disorienting. but never fear, homo sapiens always find their way around obstacles! we just create a new compartment labelled "Freak", specially made for those whom we can observe no discernable companionship.

metaphorically speaking, i'm facing mount everest, but i'm gonna climb that peak no matter what and plant my flag there in whatever way possible, by hook or by
crook. i will leave my indelible mark. even though the chances are that an avalanche will kill me, i will hope for the infinitesimal possibility of attaining nirvana. after all that time and effort spent preparing and getting ready for the journey, the climb, the ascent. it'd be a waste not to try, really. i hate that cliche, "it's now or never" but that's just the way things are right now. i guess after so long, the situation can't remain stagnant. it's either going to get better or just blow up in my face. obviously i'd like it to be the former but even if the latter unfortunately happens, at least i can say that i TRIED. whatever the case is, it will be a turning point as i move on to something better or new. and as i enter the army, my public life won't be the only one entering a new phase, so will my private one.
i don't think i've ever smiled so much and felt truly happy as i did then in recent times, and what i just said wasn't in reference to my academics.
