Since it's a Saturday today, I felt the need to avoid writing down anything that is work related. And then it dawned on me that I had no specific topics to write about if I was to avoid talking about teaching.

Man, my life is so boring.

And so, some random thoughts in no particular order:

1. Today is a boring Saturday.

2. It is boring because I'm staying at home to make sure I fully recover such that I stop rasping and croaking like a 1000-year-old-toad to my 400 students come lessons next week. Actually I just want to recover so that I can quickly attack the 600g of Ba Gua sitting on my kitchen table.

3. I'm not thinking about her as much these days.

4. I hope my brother is not gay because he brought over a guy friend to sleep over yesterday.

5. I hope he does not read this. If not he will skin me left right up down centre and hang me upside down outside our home.

Thats all folks.

I'm going back to my unmarked worksheets.

And Off She Flies To, Far Far Away

I had an incredible busy festive period with outings after outings and gatherings after gatherings. So much so that all the time I spent at home this couple of days was on the bed.

So much so that my lips parched and cracked from a lack of moisture due to inadequate water intake.

And as I watched the welcome fireworks for 2008 over Marina Bay at the Padang yesterday, a wave of nostalgic sentiments swept over me. As a friend proclaimed, and I agreed, 2008 will be good no matter how bad it will turn out. For 2008 signifies the end of 2007 (and 2006), the two years where we male species waste 2 years of our life donning the green army uniform.

My very first thoughts of 2008 was that Female Friend would be flying away today. To a far far away place called China.

With her boyfriend.

But I'm sorry to tell you I am not going to do a korean-drama style of running to the airport to stop her from leaving at the very last minute.

Because she will be there only for 9 days. Or 216 hours. Or 12960 mins. Or 777600 seconds. She will come back to Singapore.

I hope she will be back soon.

Meanwhile, happy new year to everyone!
