God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Because it's just one of those days

"When two people decide to get a divorce, it isn't a sign that they "don't understand" one another, but a sign that they have, at last, begun to." - Helen Rowland
The sky today couldn't make up its mind, the way I couldn't too three months ago. I know I made an error. I still feel awful about it. I wish I could apologise to you in person.
I wasn't expecting to see you yesterday. It felt strange. I'm only used to seeing you around in Europe, never here, never then. It felt odd that we're in the same country.
I'm sorry if I broke your heart. I didn't mean to. (No, really.)
Just as your friend, I want and hope you are happy.

I was born on a Thursday

I'm going to go through a very very dull version of my day today.
It was raining heavily this morning. I still dragged myself up for my 9am meeting. I only got home 6+ in the evening (my laptop was nearly fried), and pulled myself to the pool to swim another 34 laps.
Total lap count for March = 129! 71 more to go!
I had dinner (hokkien mee + fried oyster, I know, that's why I swim), andddd I went home and slept for an hour.
I'm nearing the end my second lecture webcast now. My agenda for today... well, two more tutorials to go.
Being the extremely good multitasker I am, I've simultaneously cleaned up my desktop. It's running a lot faster now. Usually a simple task like opening a firefox window is like asking it to go jump off a cliff.
There aren't enough hours a day. Really there isn't.
I wish people had more responsibility.
And then it became 1-4..

I think our loss to Liverpool is the travesty of the decade.
VIDIC, WHY???

I've been loitering around with my laptop pretending to do a lot of work, but I've only finished:
1) 2 webcasts
2) my MIS tutorial
..
That is all.
Work is piling up faster than I can cook guacamole, and I have yet to start writing my essay. I can't even find the articles I need.
*slumps in chair*
I will... attempt my finance tutorial later. And read up on Bonds. Then I'm possibly done for the day.
I'd want to get a good swim in, but my left knee's recovering from swimming 95 laps the past week.
Next Thursday is car day! :)) Looking forward to it!
And so, for the last time

Salzburg, Austria, just four months ago
I smile at you. You're smiling back.
"I actually bumped into them in Geneva," I heard myself say. "They were going to Lyon. I'm sorry."
"It's okay," you smile. "They actually told me about it -"
"Now I feel bad -"
"No, it's fine."
I wish we had more conversations.

I did a quick search through my archives.
The last time I said this was 29 August. I said, "I think, I'd like to have one last, crazy beautiful person to love before I start dating serious dull marriage types." I said this before earlier last year.
And I'm done. I'm done with crazy beautiful people. I'm done with dealing with the extreme highs and the extreme lows.
I just want someone simple to love. That's all.

I saw your quote today.
In Chinese it means 要忘记你爱的人就像试着记得一个你没见过的人.
And I felt the most inexplicable ache.
I've been busy. Not so much as thinking about you but really focusing on my work.
For all the work I've been putting in - not much really - I wonder how I still manage to bring home the grades I do.
I think if you appear right before me, if I hear your voice, I'd just be nothing at all.
I hope you're happy.
