Women....Love... a selfish affair...

I know many girls are not going to be happy with my these entry... but I guess its about time someone shows girls the meaning of love... A little "situation" had triggered me to write this... Its been long enough... time to let some out...

Girls in love, yes blissful, sweet, romantic.... guys too, but shortlived, coz apart from selfishly saying we lose our freedom, its kinda the beginning to a "watched life". I know its very blunt to put things that way, but its not a bad way, coz we do enjoy being watched to tell you the true, the feeling of someone there by your side, and care for you when you are down, and share your happy times and all. But in love sometimes, as girls will put it, they cared too much and they become insecure about themselves... there is where problems comes in, yes, guy thou they don't say much, they are hurt.

"If ever you fall in love with someone else, please let me know in advance" seems like nothing wrong when said in a joking manner, but constantly being told sentence like this hurts a guy in many ways, and also will get the minds of the guy working. "What did I do wrong?", "Why does she say such things?", "Does she not have fate for the love I have for her?" the question continues. When you girls thinks that you are the only one that worries about relationship problems, you are very wrong man, coz guys, no matter how manly he is, do have his moments with relationship problems too. And when you gers think that when a group of guys gathering, all they could talk about is soccer, games, girls or sex, think again. Guys need girls, speaking for the majority, and no matter how "cool" they seem or are, they show affections in their own little way. Girls might not see its as something big, and even take their actions for granted, but its guys ways of showing love. Me having many female friends myself, would relatively say, girls nowadays sets high benchmark when it comes to guys, and with influence of drama series, it becomes worse. Yes they will say that well show is show, it will never happened real life and the don't really expect it to happen, but somewhere within them, we know its not true. And us being guys (in general) will try to meet their expectation unknowingly. Thats our way of showing I suppose.

Girls over insecurity can harm guys in the most deep way I must say. A worried wife trys to contact her husband, who usually have his mobile on almost everytime. He went missing for awhile, mobile off, contact non of his friends. Finally when he called back, the wife sigh a breath of relief... .so sweet right? But the wife asked "Are you having an affair outside? if not why are you in contactable?". All of a sudden, all the sweetness just turns sour. A moment of over worrying, an unforgiving probing, a deep wound to the husband. We are talking about a 25 years marriage on the line. No to say after 25 years, things will not go out of track, but being together for 25 years, you would expect some kinda bond to be there, that mutual trust, that unconditional love. After sighing a breath of relief, the wife might just forget the entire incident, but as for the husband, i am guessing the question is burning fresh in his mind. Questions will follow, wondering what is making his wife thinks that way, and I guess have deeply brought pain to him.

Girls, try to see things from guys point of view too. True enough some of these sentence you girls say, can be for real or meant to be a joke. I also understand you gers must have a reason for saying this, either from bad past experience, or influence from media or frens unfortunate encounters. To us guys, we take it personally, thou we dun seem to be bothered at times, but in actual fact, we take every words our love says into consideration, and in the hours of the night as we rest in bed, we ponder over what have happened and what have been said and start questioning ourselves when things goes wrong. This the behind the scene of what guys are going through, many do not show due to the three letter word starting with "E". But I am telling you, this is what we experience, so don't go around thinking when there is a breakup, girls are always the victim. We just learn to look ahead faster then girls, pick ourselves up sooner, and move on, with that little part of us that still wish the girl well, regardless who ask for the break up. Males are no romantic creatures, thats why there is female to teach them and show them, its pretty much the say as it takes 2 hands to clap.

Venting it out makes me feel so much better. Mood haven't been very good lately so its always good to vent things out through a different medium. Will be going into isolation mode again I suppose. Realised I can think things out better alone... Loner rulez!!!

The day I left...

What have got into me tonight? Beer? cannot be, I only had 2 bottle. The music? the ambience? the crowd? the loud music? or I guess its just me...One night alone, I guess I have lost my buddies, a moment of foolishness, a moment of bordem... a lifetime of regrets...
Took time off today to settle some personal things and go get a birthday gift for Herbert as its his birthday... After getting his gift, headed down to city hall to meet up with him. Treated us to nice japanese food, together with few more other guys... (total up to 9 guys). Had lots of fun and laughter peace and joy. After which headed off to a pub at suntec, to have a few drinks... Kinda got bored after awhile, so took a breather outside. I wonder if age is coming up, or I haven't been in the scene for too long and was not used to it. The loud music was kinda annoying me, and looking from outside, everyone seems to get restless within. Then, I did the most anti-social move of the evening, I took my bag, wish them goodnight, wish Herbert and Hui fen (another friend we met at the pub) happy birthday, and headed home. Guess everyone was dumbfounded by my actions... Honestly, I was too after I left, people who knows me knows that I will never walk away from parties, let alone my best friend's. I didn't go straight home, I went for a breather walk and walked back into town. Did alot of soul searching in the process... but well when I made the decision, I know there was no turning back... I have screwed years of friendship...
These gang of mine was since my secondary school time, and till now, I will still say my best times of my life is during my secondary school, and credits will generally goes to this gang of frens. We can have fun in just a simple gathering. But lately, due to different commitment and my diet and all, I have been drifting further away from them. I literally meet up with them once every blue moon, and I guess they felt it as well. Take yesterday for instance, when li hao jio-ed me to attend his little performance at SMU, I actually went down, and he commented "Wah rare occasion that the 5 of us is back together, must buy 4d". Thats is enough to show how drifted apart I was from them. Well, I guess after tonight, its offically a gang of 4 and not 5 I guess.

Sorry brothers... at least I know you guys have never forsake me... but it is I that have been forsaking you...

New Twist... Doctor day...

Haha everyone must be wondering why am I up so early on a mid week (9+ is pretty early considering I am usually up at 10ish everyday) well thats because I am going to see the physio later. OMG, haven't been doing what she have instructed me to do thou... so I AM SO DEAD LAH, manage only one session in the gym (which was yesterday) ever since my last physio session. Hopefully I have advance to another stage, say erm... I can start swimming? hehez...

Decide to give this year's triathlon, or rather mini triathlon (not so zai to do the full) a miss, haven't offically got the green light to swim so shall not risk such move. But there is alot of running events awaiting me in the coming half a year... hehez... hopefully by the end of the year can see a leaner and meaner RYAN KOH, hahah...

As for my uni diliemma, there is a new twist of fate as MDIS finally confirms with me after my hot pursuit. hehez. Here is the break down of the current offers I get. Lets start with SMU, they offer a degree in Infoccom System Management, a 4 years course, with a definate option of a 2nd major from any other schools in SMU in the second year. Great school, super nice campus, and being one of the youngest course in SMU, a small group of say 200 pple. No liable for any exemption of modules till test is taken. Pretty employable course (meaning able to go into almost all fields, not including specialist jobs). Now moving to MDIS, I applied for Degree in Hotel and Resort Management with University of Southern Cross, Sydney Australia, and what initally was a 3 year course, due to amendments from the uni side, have been reduced to 2 years. With my diploma, I am entitled to 6 modules exemption, so out of 24 mod, I am doing only 18. Was informed there is new facilities set up in the school and my batch would be the first batch to enjoy the facility. Finally can opt for a semester to be completed in Australia depending on myself. Job scope pretty much remains in the Hotel and resort industry, or just service sector.

So there is a simple breakdown on my diliemma, what great mental stress these 2 degree offers have brought to me is very difficult to put in words man. I have recieved many advise from friends and family, but they always ends up with "Do what you heart tells you" which is pretty much back to square one for me. The only person that gave me a straight answer was Carol (thx babe). Do share your views with me k, if any... I have till June to make the decision, then its final.

Anyway, guess thats all I have for now lah... nothing much let to blog liao, nothing much yet I suppose. Oh yah on my previous post on the JC boy incident, it did create a great responds from the crowd. Its very interesting that what started from a stupid card can become a nation wide discussion topic (well for the fact Singapore is so small, news spread fast). a very stupid way to fame if you ask me... hehez... SEEYA!!!

IQ = BRAINs? maybe not...

Was reading in the yesterday's papers about this guy from a GOOD REPUTABLE JC hitting a bus driver, just for a stupid card? Is it worth it? Its damn dumb! trouble kids get themselve into sometimes, and when matters get big, they cry... and all the shame to the poor father that have to get all the blame and even kneeing to beg for forgiveness. A moment Hero, a lifetime Zero.... Imagine going back to school, not only being known as the guy that hit a bus driver, but someone that is not responsible for his own action and have to make his dad shield him. Instant karma at its best, hitting a person his dad's age, and his dad gets all the shame... LIVE UP TO THAT!!!

I understand at the moment of anger, your mind switch off and your fist just springs into action, but all over a card, all over a girl rather? Is that girlfriend worth it, or rather the question is, "what was she tinking?" I mean she should be stopping her boyfriend. I just find everything so wrong. The victim, a man just doing his job, one sentence mention in his interview really touched me. He says, "I was taken aback when I got hit, a kid even younger than my own child hit me, but how could I hit back? He was just a child, but i felt my respect taken away from me." Getting beaten is not really about the external wounds, but the internal one, the ones that affects ur inner self. This boy did not only inflict damage to the bus driver, but also his dad, just think of the shame the father have to bear for the rest of his life. This scar that never heals. But a father's love is undoubtly great man. As the saying goes "Under every guys knees there is gold" thus its not easy for guys to kneel or beg, but it seems that the boy's dad have already given up all for his child, the ultermate love. Hopefully this will serve as a lesson for many, and i do hope that this boy gets a second chance on behalf of his dad. It really a story u will look back and laugh thinking "All these trouble for a card? worth it?"

Ok enough on my views on news lah... haha once in awhile I can get pretty annoyed by things in news that I really need to express... feels better once its off the chest. Back to my weekend. Hmm... Saturday, went for SMU briefing, my inital plan of just going for a listen even thou my mind have been fixed was once again thrown back into a diliemma. I have to admit, SMU is very very persuasive as they really do show the true potential that you will be facing upon graduation. Felt terrible after walking out from the lecture theatre. Confused confused confused... was initally suppose to meet up with Sherine and Adeline to shop, but only to find out they cancelled it due to bad weather, so I went walk around alone instead, at the same time find plans with others. Great Singapore Sale is creeping close, and my wallet is already itching to be emptied... haha (it not very full to start with) but my determination is keeping my wallet firmly in my pocket. But later that evening manage to go KTV with karen and Trisa, first time with sasa again after her chickenpox! and it was FUN lah... haha got so hooked on to singing lately, not sure why... love to hear my voice amplified pehaps... hehez. After that, we reluctantly called it a night as nothing else was left open and head home. That session keep me lost from the diliemma for awhile but found me back after i reached home... didn't had a sound sleep.

Sunday, MUMMY's DAY!!! didn't managed to get anything for my mummy, not very good with getting things for mum to begin with coz I really have no idea what she like. Stopped shopping with her since secondary school? maybe earlier. Anyway brought her out for sushi, kept promising to bring her one day but never manage to find the time. So what better day then mother's day. Did enjoy a little quiet moment with my mum, we seem to have endless topics, she would tell me alot about her gang of frens, which suprisingly never bores me. I too took the oppotunity to tell her about my uni diliemma even with the knowledge of what her answer would be. "As long as you are happy, we will support you". After lunch, my mum headed to the hospital to see my auntie who undergone an operation for her leg. So I headed home and rot for the rest of my day. Finished Pirates of the Carribean, the Black Pearl and the rest of my Full House. haha, then ended of my day with some exercise, simple skipping a stair climbing...

Nothing special for today or this week rather, at least none i can forsee as yet. smooth sailing as usual. Nothing to look forward to, just hoping this diliemma would be over real soon. alright thats it for me... cheers and great week ahead.
