hello ppl...=)...first week back suddenly all the work pile up...last wed killing man..history paper assignment i hav to rush...then monday got math test...theology thesis and engl paper 4 draft,...argh...cant wait for the semester to end....haiz and i just found out im not going back for summer...='(...i was quite looking forward to it...the thing tht helped me out of it is the fact tht im probably going to new york to watch phantom of the opera...and take some other course or something... and today lunch i ate sooo much tht even angmoh shocked...i ate omelette...scrambled eggs..4 small sausages...one plate of big waffel....fruit cocktail...peaches wif scottish cheese...one glass of milk and a glass of apple juice...its the most i hav ever eaten in a single meal here b4...heh i guess my metabolism buringing too fast...and i probably gain weight already...=P

i watch part of the movie 'my girl'..heh cos theres nothing much on tv anyway,...but sometimes i really find it relaxing watching family-friendly movies...anyway its a movie abt this girl who goes abt her life with a father and her mum passed away...well yea managing and spending the life of a child in the US neighbourhood...(i wanna emphasize on the US neighbourhood cos growing up in spore is completely different..at least from my perspective)...anyway her life is just so simple...going to school...riding bikes...spending time with her best bookworm friend...fishing...chatting under the tree beside a lake...its just all so simple and innocent...like nothing in the world mattered anymore..i guess our parents r rite when they say when we r young its like the best time of our lives huh..but its really a time where we all cant get back...last time its just study(if u want) and play...so simple...now its something like study(or ur out) and play(if u hav time)....its just really a change of things...many things...

"Raising a child is the hardest job in the world, but its the most rewarding of them all."....i got this from a quote in smallville(again)..hahaha...this parenthood has been a big part of my development last year abt october..heh thts when i spent time with my little buddy reyner...hahaha..amusing little fellow...i felt uncomfortable arnd him the first time bcos i dunno how to respond to his actions..(hes a toddler)...so hes kinda playing and all...but after a while i got used to it and played wif him...and i enjoyed it..haha...soemtimes toddlers and babies just express their love so openly tht u r even caught by surprise..but its a very rare feeling...to hav someone depend on u fully...heh i just remembered one event tht actually sparked this friendship wif me and him...it was during dinner outside near the singapore river..so after the dinner since hes too active to sit tight while the rest of the adults were chatting..i volunteered to take him for a walk...a very long walk...he kept running and running so far ..so when i took him back his parents were so worried tht i feel so bad...im like "oh damn"...then after tht for some reason he somewad take me as my big brother..(yes i am already a big brother but its quite different when u hav a toddler as ur smaller sibling)...im probably posting a picture of him in my friendster profile...don judge by his mischievous look..hes naughty in a way but also fun in tht way...=)...

heh im actually keeping pointers now on how to be a good parent...(so early??)...ok wadever...but it comes to smallville again...seriously man...it has a lot of good role models...clark as a person..his parents as ..well..parents..well the girls side i dunno cos i just model after clark and his dad...the way i see it his family has really his very strong bond among each other...u can say its unbreakable...now i keep on searching wad is the thing thts keeping them together..well u can say love but i tink it goes deeper than tht...and being able to raising such a good kid too...well for one thing i saw is tht they let him make his own choices when he is mature enuff...let him b independent..well yea i saw tht too when i observe other families teach their child...like letting them walk their own or climbing down the steps without holding the toddler's hand...but their parents always and ever ready to catch the child in case he loses balance and falls...well i will probably found out more in the long run...im still got a loooong way to go !!..wahahaha...
for some reason i realise thts its easier to help other ppl than to help urself...i mean just look at clark..he save a person in every single episode...but in every single episode hes always troubled with his own matters tht wif even all the powers he has he cant fix it...its so ironic...sometimes i tink helping someone else provides a way out of our own problems...we feel tht we can cover our own problems wif other ppl's so tht we wont feel so guilty running away from ours...heh sometimes i tink i think too much..wahahaha...heh keeps the brain healthy...=)
