A Friend in need...

Went through all my unread mails today. Some were full of memories, some were just crap. Anyways, the emails of photos from Huishan and Doris just brought me back to a couple of years ago... Still remember when I was still with Sarah, and we attended the Biotech Alumni dinner with all my 姐妹們. Haha! Aiyoh... And also when we went to celebrate Liming & Yingru's birthday at Tiong Bahru Plaza. That time Eva broke up with Andrew le... so sad. But she was with another guy (forgot his name already but it's ok... don't really like him) though. And Liming also had a boyfriend then... think she's still with him now. Haha! Remembered seeing them at last year's Standard Chartered after running with Simin.

I realise something from those old photos... Most of the girls had boyfriends who look like them! Haha! Is this what they call 夫妻相 (or 像)? Hmm... curious. Haha! Did Sarah look like me? Or is it the other way round? Weird...

Anyhoo, saw Lianne in those photos too... I do miss her. But that was when Sarah & I were still together & we would go out as a trio, to study, for dinners, for shopping or just walking around. The last that I saw her was like, start of 2006 I think, just before I started my education in UQ. Didn't manage to meet her when I got back last year.

The last unread message in my Inbox was from Doris... Summer Doris, not Biotech Doris. Haha! It was an email of the A-Z of Friendship...

I'm gonna have to progress pretty quickly on my report. I'm not even half done can. Why do I always procrastinate until the last minute? Even though I know it can be done, the stress is just not worth it. I'm not a stressful person... and though I dunno the limits of my stress-tolerance, I do not want to test it... it's better to not know the boundaries until I really need to, rather than know the boundaries and start fearing a breakdown when you know you're near it.

Out of the many possibilities of foci from our plentiful data from Heron Island, I have chosen a (hopefully) rather unlikely topic that people might wanna talk about. My tentative title:

"An Analysis of the Distribution of Copepods in Great Barrier Reef Fishes"

Sounds cheem? Haha! I dunno if it's cheem anot. Maybe I can upload the completed report for those who are interested to read, which I highly doubt anyone would. Haha!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, I've put up a new blog... for people to comment and tag. I want to know what people think of me... the good and the bad... and I'm hoping people will be bluntly honest, maybe even hurtfully so... coz I feel I can take the criticism in order to be a better person. Hopefully there'll be examples of why they think I'm what they think. Haha!

The new blog is: discoveringtreasures.blogspot.com

Am I a friend to anyone?

"I wanna love you and treat you right;
I wanna love you every day and every night.
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads;
We'll share the shelter of my single bed;
We'll share the same room, yeah! For jah provide the bread.

Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now!
I got to know, got to know, got to know now!

I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i -I'm willing and able,
So I throw my cards on your table!

Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love, is this love, is this love,
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Wo-o-o-oah! oh yes, I know; yes, I know, yes, I know now!
Yes, I know; yes, I know, yes, I know now!"

-Bob Marley: Is This Love
