i just realised that today is fri 13th. i remember seeing it in the papers this morning but the hustle and bustle of the day promptly made me forget all about it.. yea, when i was younger, i used to be all jazzed up about it but nothing seemed to happen on that day so i always seemed to assume that the day would not be unlucky but actually lucky.. well, looking back on the events of the things that happened today, it seems so. the lectures were fairly pleasant and my greatest wish for today did come true so i'm very thankful for that..

i saw the people i wanted to see repeatedly and i didnt see the people i didnt want to see.. i just realised this today, if you tell yourself that you actually like someone, somehow you would keep seeing that particular person the whole day, whether subconciously or not, you will happen to bump into that person.. its very weird, i dunno why but it just happens.. i saw her at assembly, i saw her in the hall for the 1st period, saw her during break, saw her when she was rushing for her class in the audi, saw her when i was settling down for lumch, saw her in the audi for maths, saw her when i left the hall, saw her when i left school. and that made the total of 8 times today alone.. i dont deny that i minded seeing her one too many times but well, its still very weird, why does she have to be in the class next to mine but not mine! grr.. >.< just too shy to approach her to talk to her.. :)

while i was walking to the train station, boon teck struck me with his view of life and it made me realise many things that i seemed to have overlooked in my quest for immature and impratical things.. he was discussing with me with his contemplation about whether he should stay in andersonjc or go to a polytechnic.. before he left, he left me thinking, saying, "everyone is different, having different learning speeds and ambitions." being alone in the train, it left me with plenty of time to think about what he said. i realised that in this world, there is actually no such thing as being 'normal' because everyone is very much different from each other, in terms of looks, aims and the way they do things.. there is no such thing as being average. actually, all of us have no basis to judge people, calling them as ah lians or weirdos. what are we comparing them against, us? how many people can say, 'i'm no different from the people around me.' whilst i was on the train, i found myself with a new perspective looking at the people around me.. i found that everyone was different. no matter what, the outside does not tell of the person's character, its the inside that counts.. its cliche but its vry true. instead of judging people from the outside, i've decided to first approach the person and only through talking to that person will i judge him or her on his/her character. people do not necessary seem as good/bad as they are from the outside..

Friendship often ends in love; but love in friendship - never.
