Thought Of The Day: that's the funny thing about romance. if you had to ask for it, it takes away all the romance.

in a nutshell

a friend of mine came down to singapore over the weekend last week. she managed to convince me into going to Zouk. actually she didn't convince me....it was more like she kidnapped me. oh well...i did have more fun than i expected. in a nutshell....i paid S$25 to get picked up by some stupid ang mohs who can't take rejection very well and to just stand amongst the crowd for about an hour and a half.

on the same day...i found out that this taxi driver that sent me to the bus station a few weeks back called my office looking for me. in a nutshell...he wanted to ask me to go out for dinner and i said no way and i'm hoping that he won't ever turn up ever again.

went back home for 2 days to visit my brother since he just came back from the U.S. in a nutshell...he has taken over my room and my car. i also managed to catch up with my friends back home. in a nutshell....we played mahjong and i lost a substantial amount of money. it was bound to happen...i can't be on a winning streak for 6 months can i?

i bumped into a friend at 1 utama the other day and we got to talking for a bit. she asked me what i was doing now and i told her i was teaching in singapore. her reaction to that...and i quote..."oh my gawd...the most notorious girl in school is now a teacher?" that somehow got me to thinking. i know i'm a good teacher...i know i have a talent that not many people have...but i'm wondering whether there's something else that i can do better. something that i haven't thought of...something that i haven't tried or pursued. people look at me and they don't see someone who is fit to be a teacher. maybe i'm not. maybe i'm meant to do something else. but what is it? i've always encouraged my friends and the people around me to do what makes them happy. to dare to try and dare to fail. to learn from their mistakes and to rise from them. if one doesn't try...one will never know. so i guess if i don't try to pursue anything else other than teaching i wouldn't find out whether it's what i'm meant to do or not.
