Garfield and Friends

The Tigger and this drawing and the next drawing to come were all drawn by my guitar club friend. These drawings were from the farewell cards that she gave to the seniors in her section.

Crush

So I woke up this morning and went to check my email. There was this email from some www.acrushonyou.com or something saying that someone has a crush on me.

I thought it was one of those lame ads or something. My curiosity got the better of me and I clicked on the link on the email.

The site allows me to guess who the supposed person is who has a crush on me. All I had to do was register (very fast process) and then after that they allowed me to type in the email of four people who I think might be the one who sent the email.

Interesting stuff really, so I opened up my msn and started skimming through the list of girls who I think might have done this. After filling in two emails I started thinking, there has to be more to this thing. There must be some sort of catch to this all.

I opened up another window from the site and clicked on FAQs. I started reading through them and found the question that made me lose interest in the whole thing.

Q. Why are the people Im guessing receiving emails?
A. We assume that the people you suggest are people that you like or are people that you want to have a crush on you; on your behalf we inform them via an anonymous email that someone has guessed them. This brings more visitors to our site which in turn helps our advertisers who keep us able in offering you this service.

What a way to get people into your site. Imagine waking up to get the email and realize it's not really a crush but just that someone thought you might have a crush on them. They do not really have a crush on you neither do they want you to have a crush on them but they put your name just to confirm that it's not you.

This can really cause a lot of misunderstanding. Interesting site, but I will not try and find out who the person is. I can forsee some outcomes from even trying.

1. Four girls will think I have a crush on them.
2. I find out that I am just a "guess" and that person might maybe like me.
3. I find out that I am just a "guess" and that person does not want to be liked by me.
4. I find out who the person is at the expense of three other girls thinking I have a crush on them.
5. I can think of a few more, but I am too lazy to put them down.

A warning to everyone who might want to try this site: There will be consequences if you do try.

Oh, and I opted to delete my name from the database. They said I will not be getting any more emails from them. Good riddance.

Wheels

Four wheels - The number of wheels on the bus I took to school today. In a span of 1 hour I went to school, put some papers into my teacher's pigeon hole and I went home. It was kinda like shopping to me, I go in, get what I want and get out.

Three wheels - The number of wheels on the type of bicycle that I thought would be the only type of bicycle I would be riding. This was because I learned to ride a two-wheeler late. While some children learn to ride at a young age, I think I learned to ride at twelve years old. I think it's quite late. But now I have Van Helsing!

Two wheels - The number of wheels on the motorbike that Steve rode to pass me my bro's/dad's guitar. No matter how one looks at it, motorbikes are way cool! But honestly, I thought he would be coming in a car because he did not tell me what he was riding so I was so suprised when I saw the bike. Really cool stuff.

One wheel - Is all it takes to keep me awake at night. Friggin hamster kept running through her wheel the whole night! Super noisy! Anyway, if temperatures drop to a certain level, hamsters start to hibernate. Guess I'm going aircon tonight! =D

Board Game

You play them when you are bored.
When you do start playing, soon enough, you'll be bored.

Red Fog

It was a day like any other. I decided to ride Van Helsing to the MRT station. (for those who still dunno, Van Helsing is my bike)

Now, everytime I cycle, I always think that my tires are flat because the feel on the road is not very good; always feels like there's too much tension. After checking my tires, I found that they were still functionable so I cycled on.

I stopped by the POSB ATM to withdraw some money. At that time, I was feeling rather out of breath. As I prepared to cycle on towards the station, I suddenly felt exhausted. I felt that I needed to drink something as soon as possible.

I thought of walking over to the 711 across the street. Was there even a 711 there? I could not remember clearly. I felt my feet grow heavy with each step. My ears started ringing. "Could I make it to the station?" I thought. I knew I had to get a drink fast.

The hawker centre was just a few feet away. I set Van Helsing by the side and tried to find the drinks vendor. As I made my way to the store, my vision started to get cloudy.

I tried to act as normal as possible so as not to attract attention. The uncle asked me what I wanted. "100 Plus." I could not hear myself. I panicked a little bit. As the uncle passed me the can and the cup of ice, I struggled to act natural.

My vision began to be even more clouded. I thought that I was going to faint. Soon my vision was overwhelmed by red fog. I had always thought that when people faint, their vision blacks out, but mine was a red colour. Maybe it was the blood rushing to my head. I struggled to get sight of where I was going. In the corner of my eye I could see a table. I almost sat there and then until I saw that it was already occupied.

I turned, not really seeing where I was going. I almost tripped over the small step as I made my way back into the hawker centre. Before my vision was completely overwhelmed by the red fog, I sat down. As I drank that can of 100 plus, everything was completely red for a few seconds and the ringing in my ears seemed to be at the loudest.

Slowly I drank. After a few more seconds, everything began to go back to normal. I finished the can and sat for a while. Thinking about what might have caused this.

This never happened when I ran my 2.4 last time. I was more exhausted then than after I cycled. I thought for a while and came to the conlusion that it was either lack of sleep or lack of food. (I had skipped breakfast and lunch) Another explanation might be the heat. That would make sense as the red vision could have been caused by the bright sun.

Whatever it is, all I could think about was... "Cool!" I never had that kind of experience before. I think I could have fainted there and then. All the while I was thinking, "Is this how fainting or becoming unconscious feels like?"

It was a whole new experience for me and I made it a point to remember every moment of it. Haha.

Searching for a Dream

When I was younger I dreamt of becoming a missionary. Then I dreamt of becoming a pilot. I thought why not be a missionary-pilot?

That was then. If anyone were to ask me what I plan to do with my life, what my goal in life is, I always say, "I don't know yet."

All the things that I wanted to become is now but a childish whim for me. I have always thought that as I increase in years I would know what I want to become. But at eighteen, I sill do not know what I really want to do. I know many people who are even younger than me and they already have their aspirations.

I seem to be just drifting along; riding the current and having no direction. While others have a course set and are moving to, I have no final destination in mind.

On my 16th birthday I received a birthday message that read: May God give you the grace to find your dream and the courage to live it. I can never forget those words.

I'm still searching for my dream. I guess for now my dream is to find my dream.

For all the dreamers out there, may you find the courage and grace to live out your dreams.

Although I do not know what the future holds, I know that it will be good because God says so.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
