Fiddles with the Japanese hiragana myself and class concludes with lecturer giving reminders for final exam. Cold cold PD107...the 'ice chamber' of FICT...brr...

2.00 pm - Lab again. I'm bored. Really, especially when no one is coming for classes. Course rep? 'You can't even spot his shadow!'.

8.00 pm - Japanese class ends, heavy rain. The sensei says 'o o ame desu.' Hai sensei, kiyo no tenki wa o o ame desu.

9.20 pm - One last try with the ATM card. Still unaccessible, switch to the Malay Language for fun. *Poof*. It works, able to check balance and withdrawal. Money for house rental, at last! So can anyone explain what happened??

9.30 pm - Carmen's class ends, finally. 3 of us heads to Sentosa for food. As usual, the dessert or in cantonese 'tong shui' stall.

Happiness for all

When blowing the birthday cake candles, some people wish for money, others wish for health. Different people have different priorities. Me, I wish everyone happiness. Back in my younger days, I would wish for a new Tamiya toy car, or good results in exams. But it was in Form 3 I think that I started to change my wishes.

I never really get what I wished for, and it actually proves again and again. In Form 3, I started to wish for people whom I know or around me to be happy, to have happiness. It really did come true. From what I see, people around me are happy. I wished for this same wish since then, even till now. The same wish every time I blow the candles. But happiness left me out. One should seeks his/her own happiness, and I did. However it seems to elude me. This happiness I seek may be different from the happiness that people commonly know about, some of you might just understand what I'm saying here.

But I will still wish for this same wish, for others. I want them all to be happy, all these people around me and those that I know. Even if it isn't a birthday wish, I will still wish for happiness for all, for a very long time more to come.

Have a nice day and wish you all happiness.

Of Kenneth, his girlfriend, and the 'consultant'?

To tell you the truth, I was never really close with Kenneth. He was introduced by Carmen. In fact, most of the juniors I knew in UTAR are not that close with me. But regardlessly, now I finally understand his problem with his girlfriend. If I was him, there are things I would do but he wouldn't. I'm no stranger to such situations; I have friends who finds me for advice. I admit some of my advices are not really good, but I believe that some are helpful.

In his situation, albeit with limited knowledge and information, I can't help but to look it in a negative perspective. Carmen thinks there is no right or wrong in relationships, only love or don't love. Then let me ask you, is it right to be dating two guys at the same time? Saying 'I love you' to this guy and repeat the same line to another guy? I for one will say it is wrong. You can't just do that, I know of a friend who does that. I've always advised him to drop it, pick one and stick to it. If you don't like her, you can dump her as you please but you've gotta choose only one. Having 2 at the same time just isn't right!

It sounds really fishy when I heard that Kenneth's girlfriend hardly ever pick up his phone calls and messages. Meet up once every 2 weeks? Ok fine, maybe she's busy. But if she's avoiding calls then something is not right (This may sound familiar to some of you). Still too little information for me to jump to conclusions, I'll reserve that for some other time.

Funny, I was thinking back then, should I create a consultant agency for advising others on their problems? Because it seems people seek me for advice, and most of them are girls as a matter of fact (you know who you are :p). Now I can laugh at such idea because from the day I started asking for advice from friends was the last day I held the title 'consultant'. I admit I was defeated, I hardly seek advise. If one can unlock the chest with the beating heart inside, there be many things...secrets as well. But I'm confident I haven't met anyone with such ability yet. When that day comes, that person will definitely be the one who truly understands me.

Go ahead, try me...but I can't guarantee you will succeed. Perhaps one must think out of the box to unlock me!
