Long (Weekend) Talk
It seems like just yesterday I was looking forward to the long weekend, and in a couple of hours, it's going to be over.
Did a 'lil bit of stuff over the 3 days, met up with some ol' friends.
Made plans but never seem to be able to meet up with JJ. Apologies to Boon Wee as well. And Elaine, though it seems like a surprise. I was like, "Elaine! She just asked me out!" Heh. Never thought I would ever receive a text from her. Ryan too. Always failed to meet up for supper with him and Andy. And not forgetting Daniel. A pity couldn't meet up with Huiyue, Amanda, Xinhui, cyj and gang.
Would make up to you guys one day.

The Best Laid Plans
Plans on Thursday night were made with Cheryl, but she had to cancel it at the last minute. Ended up having dinner with Serene, Lulu, Shujuan, Lijuan and her husband. Was a 'lil tad boring 'cus the main topic that night was about marriage, having babies, facial products. So while they were talking, I busied myself with the beer. Heh.
Had a nice talk with Thomas that night. I thought it was... genuine. Nice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought there was church service on Friday morning, so went down, only to realize it's closed. Eventually, had breakfast with Serene.
And I only managed to finish 5 chapters of Da Vinci Code.
It started pouring so heavily. Cheryl and I were chillin' at Coffee Bean, watching time went by. Ended up doing shopping at Kinokuniya. Convinced her to buy Dan Brown's books. Heh. Would like to say to her that Popular is offering 20% discount on those books. Oopx.
Did some catching up. Glad she's happy. She still looked the same, maybe aged a 'lil. But her figure is still so good. She's different from the girls I know, in the sense she's composed and more mature. Her character's independent and strong-willed. Something that is lacking in many people.
Had supper with Geraldine. Glad to meet up with her after all these years. Though she has been back in Singapore for more than a year from Australia, it's only recently that we have met. The classiest girl I've known.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In less than a span of 12 hours, I met Geraldine again for 'Ice Age Meltdown'.
Graphiz, as usual, was really good. May be a cartoon show, but learnt something from it.
Never be a prey to fear.
All of us have fears. We choose to keep some of 'em deep inside, never allowing it to surface. Little do we know it can choose to immobilize us, hindering us in our progress of building a better future for ourselves.

Sunday's my official rest day. Waxed the car after church service and have been slacking all the way since.
Talked to Daniel the entire evening. Thanks for sharing.

Question
I realized some of us do not dare to fight for what we want in life. I dunno if it's fear or expectations that hinder us or our decisions.
Have been talking to a couple of people and realized everyone suffers from inferior complexity. Just tad many mask it well with the protrayal of succeeding in many areas in life. We look happy, but we may not be really happy inside.
Are girls really becoming more pratical and materialistic? What do girls look out for in guys? Do they need to have established career, money, car, looks....?
Do you guys out there withdraw yourselves when you realise the girl you like is of different status? Status that is pre-determined by our society. Girls, would you reject a guy who is er... 'lesser' than you?
What's your take on it?
