I realized that I'm going to go through another 2 year cycle.
In 2003 I went into Swiss Cottage Secondary School and was there for about 2 years (1 and half to be exact). I've met really great and friendly people. Thanks, 4E1 for everything. I enjoyed the dinner at Rocky Master and games at Settlers Cafe. It was worth taking a $10 cab ride to Dhoby Ghout (the only money I had left) and finally taking an insanely over priced night rider bus home.
In 2005 I went to Saint Andrew's Junior College also for about 2 years (about 1 and a half years too). I also met some great people. Everyone's like doing their own things now and some of us guys are going army.
Ah, the army, yet another 2 years to go through (also about 1 year and a few months). Hopefully I'll meet great people. I really like the reminder of the story of Joseph who even when was sold into slavery, because God was with him, he became successful. Even when he was framed for a crime he did not commit, he became favoured in jail (I hope NS is not as bad as jail) and was trusted by the warden. Kinda like that character in Prisonbreak called "John" who is in charge of PI (only difference is Joseph does not get his throat slit).
Yup. Here's to another 2 years.

A Korean Movie
I happened to watch a late night korean movie showing on channel 8.
I was so moved by it. It's the kind of movie that could make you want to cry.
Seriously, the story was so dramatic that I wanted to cry to the point of saying, "God, let me cry."
I shed two only though, one for each eye but the emotions and the heaviness of the heart that I felt after watching was really indescribable. I think it was a great movie and sadly I don't know the title.
It's about this guy who meets a girl on the subway and he instantly falls in love.
He finds himself in the same university as the girl and also happens to join the same book readers club.
Later on he confesses his love for her but he rejects him saying it is only infatuation.
The guy never stopped loving her even when she got married.
In some accident, the girl loses both her parents and husband and decides not to let other people into her life lest she lose them again.
The guy decides to woo her and persists and finally the girl's heart is softened a bit.
They get married and the guy does his best to make her happy.
In time, she started to become happy again.
But she was always a sickly person.
Soon, she becomes pregnant and is overjoyed. Her life seems so perfect.
Alas, she has stomach cancer and either abort the baby or die in labour.
She decides to keep the baby and not tell her husband that she would die if she kept the baby.
Abortion was also not an option because her weak body might not be able to conceive again even after the abortion.
The guy is kept in the dark until he somehow finds out through a close friend that the girl would die after giving birth.
He doesn't let the girl know that he knows to respect her wishes.
He takes a year off from his work and spends the time with his wife.
Both of them cry at night secretly.
At one point they were sitting on a bench looking at the sea. The guy asks her if she wants anything.
She requests that he be the one to change the diapers making it seem like she doesn't like to do it. She also says he should make the milk for the baby because it's tedious.
Teaching the child ABC's would be troublesome for someone like her who is impatient.
Actually she was making the guy promise to take care of the baby.
They don't look at each other and with tears in his eyes the guy says, "I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."
;_;
I wanted to cry buckets.
In the end, the girl dies and leaves behind a beautiful baby girl.
The guy takes care of the baby girl.
The movie ends a few years later and the guy and daughter were sitting at the same bench reading a book that the mother left behind. It was a children's book that tells the child to say I love you to everything, to the trees, to the sky, and last to the father.
Too bad I didn't watch it from the beginning so I have no idea what's the title.
The show is even more dramatic than I have described.

Painful Jaws
So I was standing in the queue during thursday bs and this two girls in front of me which I choose not to mention who were teasing each other.
It's the kind of friendy banter between good friends but it was super funny. I could help but laugh.
I laughed until my jaws started to hurt.
Only then did I find out that it was because I have not smiled enough or laughed enough that's why the muscles are kinda weak and so hurt even after a short time of laughing.
I found it interesting because I usually thought of myself as a very happy kind of person. I guess I don't laugh as much as I thought I did. I don't smile enough either.
For this year of new beginnings, prepare to see an all improved happier smiley John. YAY!
