2004
MAN! The quake on the 26th of December 2004 was one of the strongest recorded on the Richter scale in recent history. What really kills wasn't the quake,but the tsunami that hits the coastal areas of the Indian sub-continent and South-East Asia(namely its western coasts). Mother Nature sure can be nasty,along with her quirky way of a population control? Come to think of it,are we HUMANS so in control of our DESTINY?!
Enough with the tsunami,and let's move on to something more personal. This sure had been a shitty year. I AGAIN flop BIG time for my exams, but what's worse is that I got a BIGGER flop in terms of my LOVE-life!! Oh! Apart from that,I lost my job and is currently still unemployed. How LOW can I get?!?!
Let's get to the main point of this blog. Knew this girl in 2003 as my friend's(currently ex-friend) girlfriend. Ok guys,I know what you all are thinking right now. For the record,all I did was tell the girl that I like her,and that was like 6 months later,when my friend made me call her up to help him talk to her. He screwed up their 3rd anniversary,which also happens to fall on Christmas Eve. I only told her that I like her about a week later,after having talked on the phone with her nightly. My ex-friend eventually found out(by reading her SMS's and using her mobile to send me a SMS to see my response). After that,he called me on her mobile and confronted me,and that was the end of our friendship. Haven't talked to him since.
After that,I also stopped calling the girl,until about another 6 months later. This time round,I called her. It was because one of my friend heard that something happened to that ex-friend of mine,so I called the girl up and she started crying over the phone. After which,the REGULAR PHONE-talking began. She would call me every weekend when she's all alone at home,and I'll talk to her for hours. Eventually,we began opening up to one another and became very close friends who knows a lot of little secrets and history about one another. I also ended up coaching her for her A's that ended in November.
Then came her prom night. That was when things started going hey-wire for me. Her JC days were coming to an end,and she was about to say goodbye to a guy who had been sharing a locker with her. This was a guy whom she had been having a crush on since the beginning of their JC days. Knowing the pain that she was going through,I encouraged her to declare her love for the guy. Though they spent the whole night together(alone but mostly with friends),during and after the prom,she didn't have the guts to tell him. And so,she went home the next morning,single and unattached.
But again,she was feeling horrible for not telling him and I decided against my own INTERESTS to psycho her into SMSing the guy to declare her feelings for him. The guy replied the next day with an SMS saying that he too had feelings for her,and that he would like to meet up the following day. In the end,they met up and the guy showed her a letter that he wrote,declaring his feelings and love for her.
I felt like I was thrown from Heaven to Hell in that week,just like those victims of the tsunami. One moment,they were happily clearing up their celebration for Christmas and preparing for the on-coming New Year celebration,the next moment,they were searching the rubbles of their former homes for their love ones. Are we so in control of our lives or are we just trains traveling on this track called LIFE??
At least now,I'm still friends with that girl. To be exact,I'm her BEST friend,whom she still holds her REGULAR PHONE-talking sessions with everyday. They are soon gonna celebrate their one month anniversary together,after which,he'll be going to that sunny resort island off the coast of Changi. Yah,you guys out there knows where I'm referring to. Yup! PULAU TEKONG! Home of BMTC. He's gonna go serve our nation.
But I know,you guys gonna say that I pushed her to him,I gave her up,I have only myself to blame for this outcome. However,have you guys ever thought about it from the girl's point of view. Wouldn't she rather be with her crush,who is also interested in her? Even from my point of view, would I be happy even if we ended up together?
- P.S.:Something else happened during the year to a close old buddy of mine. His grandmother whom had been living with him,passed away on his birthday. Then,2 days later,his mother also passed away from cancer,which happened to be Mother's Day. So,it seems that 2004 wasn't as bad as it seems for me compared to him. I again offer my condolences to you Bro.

Just have to agree that the Asian crisis ended 2004 on a very poor note, and 2005 starting with the skies mourning in Singapore (kept raining non-stop!).
As many people would say, you don't really need to find love cos Love will find you. I guess if we meet someone we can like/love, its like a bus arriving at the stop, but its just a matter of whether you choose to take the bus... after you made that choice, does it bring you to the place you wanna go?
Think a lotta single people don't take the bus cos it probably won't take it to wherever they wanna go. Maybe the bus no air-con (hot-tempered), too crowded (too many suitors), too expensive (materialistic), too cheap (slutty/bastard), too slow (everything also must wait)... you get what i mean? But all buses still end up at the interchange lah... we all go to the same place when we pass on... touch wood lah.
If buses were love, bus drivers probably be staff of SDU and taxi drivers Mama-sans... ^_~
don't worry about love lah bro... love will knock on your door when the time comes. Even if it doesn't you can look for bus and taxi drivers...hehe

Life still goes on for everyone after the tsunami incident that had shoke the entire up from their deep sleep and ignorance of their surroundings. That is why you should continue on your search of the gal that is really meant for you and only you. Haha... please dun forget the gal you had a crush on cos' she'll always have you as one of her best friends... though both of you may not be a couple but I guess it's a rare opportunity for a gal n guy to be able to communicate to that level. Ja ne! lol... learnt that from U! drop by my blog too... http://itsallaboutunme.blogspot.com
