I am growing weirder by the day. A sign that I am getting increasingly bored.

speculation wrong

I predicted end of last year that teasing of couples would stop now that we are officially JC students and relationships should be common and we (“we” includes me) would be more mature. Unfortunately I was wrong.

Well not totally wrong as those with open relationships are not made fun of anymore while those who have not announce verbally or through actions (either because they are to shy about it or that it is a made up one) are still teased.

This show that people are now mature enough to leave open relationships alone but still make fun of those with secret/imaginary relationships, either for personal amusement or to encourage it (though not very effectively).

As a conclusion, some advice for victims:
If the relationship is true, go open about it and people would interfere less. Ironic but true.
If it is imaginary, I am so sorry but you most likely have to endure it until they mature or grow bored of it. The best bet is to ignore it.

Word to reader: I am only HALF serious when I wrote this. It is just for my own amusement (haha I am weird). Apologies if necessary.

Some yearn for perfection. Others, just acceptance.

That night by the fire.

That night by the fire, resting at the hammock shelter; all quiet in the jungle. A night to remember... The last we're together.

He reminded me then: it was probably the last time we could work closely together. It is sad I would not see him as often again. 10 years of friendship shorter than it seems. We might go separate paths, but the relationship would last forever.



Glad to see him mature after all these years. Went to his house today to borrow his uniform. His parents still remember me. His mother said I changed but have the same smile as before. God bless them.

Sentimental me.

Changes are always forced upon us, what matters is whether we accept them.

Changes in situation can be an opportunity for changes in personality, what matters is whether we want that change.

Right now I don’t, the sentimental me. Clinging on to the past so sweet and beautiful. Contentment with the old leads to comparison with the present. Unfortunately, the old seems better.

Maybe it is because the change was my choice two years ago, thus I accepted it gladly. Hopefully, I can grow to like the present situation.

No matter whether we accept it or not, changes always forced upon us.

RM ended yay

RM (research module) has ended (unless we get selected but even then I would not consider that RM) and I would like to share my happiness and relief.

Desktop full of RM files. Only the first two and last two columns are not. Even more files in another folder.



Sidenote:
The words on the top right corner of the desktop wallpaper is from Isaiah 40:31 of the Bible, one of my favourite verses:
"but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run but not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Gives strength and encouragement especially for demoralising things like RM.
