Thomas Chia, I salute you.

……………………………. <——(this signifies silent, silent, deadly panic)

DDDDDDD:

HOMGZ I NEED TO STUFF THINGS INTO MY BRAIN LYKE NOW AND KEEP THEM THAR.

I sat in the library all day until my behind hurt and I developed lower back pain…(AGING. I get it.) I mean, I’m doing moderately okay right now with revision and all–I believe I’ll pull through, but there’s something I want to achieve.

Thought of the day: Maybe I won’t achieve it because God wants to teach me something. Painful lesson, but if it is what I think it is, I’m bracing for it… ~_~ I can’t have everything.

The fluffy haze hasn’t completely cleared, but it will by the time I hit Semester 6. :)

For the reflective part of my day, let’s just say that boys (men, if you so desire) aren’t wired the same way girls are. At all. Sigh. Some things get lost in translation when you communicate with them. It’s funny if you step back and examine the situation, but at the same time, it’s distressing for both sides. Here we go.

Boy likes Girl and pursues her. Girl suspects Boy likes her. Girl doesn’t really feel the same way. Girl drops counter-hints (discouraging) to the hints Boy is dropping. Boy gets perturbed and speaks up. Girl tells him. Boy tries again. Girl says no. Boy is sad and demonstrates his sorrow.

ULTIMATELY, under normal circumstances, one of two things could happen:

a) Girl feels bad and consoles Boy, and ends up dating him out of guilt. Boy wins.

b) Girl selfishly gets on with her life and leaves Boy to dwell in his sorrow. Girl wins.

The third option, a rare one, occurs if both are fantastically logical and objective individuals:

c) Boy realizes he is being silly. Girl sees that he realizes he is being silly. Both laugh about the situation, and end up becoming good friends, not lovers. :) Both win.

Tell me you didn’t feel a twinge of familiarity.

p/s – Congrats to all Sem 2s who passed!! For those who didn’t… fight fight! All the best for re-sits, and don’t let the failure get you down. <3 You still have a chance~
