Back

And I survived!!

Last Stretch

It seems so far away... seems too difficult.

Last week.. last stretch...

I need strength and faith in myself.

2 more weeks

2 more weeks to the end of course.

But before that, it's a 3D2N outfield experience, followed by a 5D4N outfield experience.

Although there's a weekend in between these two outfields for us to recuperate, the close frequency of these outfields is really daunting.

I will survive?

Silence

The hardest, and probably the most cruel thing on Earth would be to forbid one from spreading one's mirth to others.

It requires a tremendous amount of effort to contain one's excitement and exhilaration. The joy would expand like gas over time, until the point when you, like a over-stretched and over-inflated balloon, start to feel the strain and eventually burst.

Spill the beans. Let the cat out of the bag. Divulge a secret. However you wanna call that.

But then again, reality sets in and one would succumb to the fact that any incompliance may possibly render a withdrawal of one's benefits.

Pragmatism truimphs big-mouth-ism afterall.

Sex and The City

You gotta watch this movie. It brings out the bimbotism in me, and probably will bring yours out too.

The movie explores the theme of love -- the definition of love, the composition and elements of love, the aims and goals of being in love, and "what's next" for love?

The movie illustrates the sweetness of love, but it also depicts the frustration of being in love, in particular, marriage.

When a couple has undergone their hot, passionate love phase, what's next for them? How can they maintain the freshness and their interest in their relationship before the flames of passion die and extinguish? Is marriage the answer -- to give themselves a formal status and recognition to prove that they are truly in love and to extend the time of their love for each other longer?

The blissful picture that the movie has painted about love does tempt me to fall in love at once, but it has also made me give a thought as to why do I want to fall in love.

What do I want to get from falling in love?

To get comfort in times of misery? Responsibility from looking after someone? Physical contact?

I really don't know. Like Samantha in Sex and The City, I love myself more than I love others (although I am not as promiscuous as her). I can't bear to abandon too much of what I have to own the life of someone else.

Yet I, too, hate the feeling of being lonely.

Maybe I am just selfish. What does "receive" mean to you should you have never "given" out/up before?

But seriously, I have reached a stage where I think I am a little desperate for love. Rationality in my mind has urged me to think carefully before doing so, and I guess that's the main reason why I haven't been falling in love. Falling in love requires courage, and a lot more recklessness.

I have been hurt before. But I never lost my faith in love. I am still looking for The Perfect One, just like Louise in the movie.

I am still patiently waiting/hunting.

Meanwhile, go watch the movie. Be dazzled by all the glamour in the movie. All the Louis Vuitton, Prada and Vivienne Westwood.
