Recently met up with molala and debster at hougang mall for dinner, dessert and mackers.

to debs: its all about the journey. enjoy the journey!!!

we started chatted about books and those 2 went on to talk about this writer Picololo (paulo colhol) aka paulo callhome....and how his books are about women and self discovery or something liddat.

It made me feel kinda stupid....kinda...a little...actually not really.

But I not into self discovery. I like novels...stories about conspiracy theories, about organised crime (currently reading Godfather)...stories...where I can immerse into the story and visualise like Im watching a movie....

why read something that makes you ponder about yourself so much?

shallow...mebbe thats me.

oh well, shallow i shall be then. hehe....what a crappy blog entry.
Got this from molala who got it from igeek who get it from debster.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.
Your views on education

You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.
What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.
Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Time. What is it a good measurement of?

I often hear how time is not a good measurement of the strength of a relationship. Or that is doesn't justify the stability of a relationship.

I concur.

Time. It doesn't just hold true for relationships. It's not even a good measurement for friendships.

I met up with iGeek and Molala for lemon tea/oolong tea/sugar cane/chinese tea earlier and it dawns upon me at some point. On my right, my best friend. Ive known her for 10 years, she knows my family, she knows about my past relationships, she has seen me after shower when I just have "towel dress" on. And on my left, my good friend and colleague. Ive known her for about 3 years now. She knows my friends and steals them. She travelled with me, slept in the same room with me. And I know her need of "me time".

Both I know I can rely on if I need help. Both I know I will have a blast every time we are out. iGeek knows my past, my present and will know my future. Molala knows my present and will know my future.

So what is time a good measurement of?

In my previous entry, I blogged about my disappointment in Ah-Mei and since that day. I felt like a stone was lifted from my chest. I no longer "pine" for her - pine for her friendship to return like it was previously. I no longer worry about her well-being. I no longer wonder what she is doing and I no longer wait for the phone call with the nervous voice screaming "HELP ME ECK!!!"

She has become - "the friend I used to know".

So for "the friend I used to know" - I wish you well and happiness. And our 10 years of friendship shall be hung up like soccer boots after a match. This is the end of an era. I shall walk forward, with my head held high, together with my best friends, PJ Hong & iGeek and my other great friends, Molala, Debster, Ollie......

So really. What is time a good measurement of?

Its a good measurement of working hours! Tick. Tick Tick....time counts down to the end of another working week....Woohoo! Weekend is round the corner.
