Dr. Ryan Koh - Love Doctor...

Apart from my diliemma about my recent uni choice, I have been poking my nose into other people's business, or love life I suppose. I am like reliving my past, as I help out fren's that faced problem with their relationship. Its a BIG THING, for someone that have been single all my life, and for the fact that people thinks I am very knowledgable in relationships. Love GURU? pehaps... But all I did pretty much is providing a listening ear, and giving opinion from a third party point of view and hopefully problems can be resolved in a peaceful manner. Maybe I should start a clinic for my business? haha...

Well the past few days was pretty alright for me lah, went for the SAF band public performance at Taka yesterday. What I thought was a short performance, ended up taking and hour plus, ITS A FULL CONCERT LAH!!! hehez, but its nice to see them lah... rare occasion to see parade band getting to sit down and perform. But I guess its as its a weekday night, there wasn't much crowd. Then again, I am pretty proud to see many ex-bandmates lah. hehez..

Back to the topic on LOVE. What is LOVE? A simple question but one that is very difficult to answer or rather have many different ones. And when someone say they are in love, but at times they ponder if its their true love? Define true love? Is there a definate answer to this four letter word? To me it seems infinte too. Can past love still be frens? is that even possible? knowing that you love someone that dun really love you back, worth it? if its not, why izit so difficult to let go and move on? How to satisfy a hunger for love, how can I tell that he/she still loves me after all this time? How come this guy is such a jerk, but a part of me still accepts him, makes me miss him, makes me happy when getting a call, or even an sms from him? is this love too? So many questions, so little answers.... these is only a portion of the question i faced while helping out... not that bad eh... do tag your views man... on you defination on love... Cheers!

Things are picking up... i tink...

After that fall on wednesday, nothing bad happened to me (at least I hope nothing will ever happen). Anyway, got my mail and phone notice, that I made it into Singapore Management University. Yes, me, Ryan Koh, made it into SMU. shocker huh? everyone that heard this news seemed pretty excited for me, and I have been recieving alot of congraz, but why am I not even half as enthu as they are?

Ever since I finished the interview that day? I really had a very strong gut feeling that I would make it somehow. I honestly didn't do well in that interview, just that I did showed more confidence over the rest of my fellow interviewees. Apart from that, we are pretty equal I must say. But from the amount of eye contact I got compared to the rest. I kinda felt "special" like it was more like a one to one session rather than a group. I guess its true as the saying goes "when you try for something too hard, u might not get it, but when u really cannot be too bothered, the thing comes knocking on the door".

Enough about school I guess, really alot of consideration. Now back to my norm life. Guess its better then many other pple and its pretty unfair to be whining... but hey a blog is a place to destress to a certain extend, isn't it? nothing special happened this week, except maybe for today, or yesterday rather (considering its already past midnight). Did went back for paddling, after like 1/2 year of absence. Was very warmed by the reception, everyone asking about me, people glad to see me back and all, its feels like family when I am with them. Training was alright today, wasn't in the best boat but still managed to pull of a number of close wins. Its my mindset I guess, its been drilled into me, regardless it being just training or competition, my mind switches to a competitive mode, even i cannot explain. The desire to win is so strong that many times it overwhelms me... Its only after I got ashore just now that I have been pretty bossy on the boat, shouting orders and stuff. Felt bad, its like just returning after 6mths absense and I am already giving orders? boy do i hate myself.

Anyway, enough on that part i suppose, i did enjoy paddling, and am really looking forward to tml when the aches starts to set in me... sadist right? hehez.. I see its as and enjoyment, kinda the result of pushing urself. Always feels good. Was suppose to head straight into town after training, unfortunately one side of my contact lenses got washed out during training, and since I was going for a movie, I had to go home and get changed. Rush home, dumped my wet stuff, changed to my specs and head straight out, grabbing to buns as dinner as I was starving. Got there about 745 and met up with ZhongXi and Sherine first. By the time I got there, kinda lost all appetite and the 2 buns I took seems to have already expanded and filled me up. So as the three of them (including Xiu that have join us shortly) had their dinner, i just took a couple of glass of water. After that we carried on with the movie "Spiderman 3"

Maybe my expectation for the movie was abit high, as the last 2 was good. So this one was kinda below expectation for me. Thou there was an introduction of 2 new villains, but much time from this 2 1/2 hr movie is spent on romance and all, which can get pretty draggy at times. But I would give credit as they didn't leave much room for audience to ponder, like "why izit like that? or what happened to _____?" kind. Detailed but pretty dragy, overall still a blockbuster to catch... Spiderman 4? don't mind watching if there is one, but looking forward to it... hmm... i would consider about it...

This is my take on Spiderman 3, didn't want to get into details as many should not have watch it yet. So shall not spoil the fun for everyone. Well its really a small town i must say, just cafe cartel alone, I met Jinsi and gang having dinner, as well as my buddy herbert. hehez...Its a small small world...

Well i guess thats all I have, tml will be Sunday, shall enjoy myself and pehaps drop by town for cog. Till den, have a great Sunday, rest well for now and candy dreams....
