It's been a long time

Amazing how time really flies.

It was a last-minute sort of affair, arranged just a couple of days ago.

I was in two minds about going since I have been very tired for the past few days. But I felt I just had to go for my JC class gathering dinner, having not seen some of my classmates since graduation and one of them back in Singapore on leave from work overseas.

Boy, was I glad I went. It was kind of nostalgic. Bizarre how it has been so many years since some of us last saw each other.

It was good catching up with them.

We should have these kind of gatherings more often.

Is there hope at all?

It wasn't really love at first sight.

He doesn't really believe in that either.

He just found her intriguing and wanted to know her better.

And try he did, by talking to her whenever he could, asking her for a dance whenever the situation permits and even asking her out for a movie.

But he just did not have the courage to go further.

He has been hurt before and is so, so afraid of being in the same situation again.

So he could only just stand and admire her from afar, taking in her warm, radiant smile, enjoying every minute of their conversations and their time together on the dance floor. He was quite certain she has no interest in him, and he believed that if that was the case, he could not get her to take notice of him and like him no matter how hard he tried.

He has liked a girl once and tried many, many things to win her heart but to no avail. No wonder he is feeling that way now.

His thoughts were confirmed when she mentioned to him about having this crush on a guy whom she met at a work meeting. He dances too, maybe even better. He has met this guy and thinks the two of them make a good match. He is not exactly heartbroken but his heart definitely sank to a low.

He is a confused soul, not knowing what to do. He likes her a lot but knows the chances of them being together are almost naught. He wants to try further to win her heart but stops short, knowing of the difficulties. He wants her to be happy.

The decision he has taken now is just to step back for a moment. He is just too weary for anything now. His body is crying out for him to get some sleep.

What to write?

My first ever foray into the world of blogging.

Clueless me, as always, figuring out what I could write in here to make it interesting and make people take notice.

But then again, what are people actually looking for when they start a blog?

Is it just another avenue for them to voice their thoughts and opinions about anything under the sun?

Or are they just plain bored with their lives? Or because of the absence of it, that they decided to just do something like this to add spice to it?

Or just to let others notice them?

Whatever.

I suppose I am just here, partly because I am bored at the present moment and also to just share with others what I feel about certain issues. This is not meant to be my diary. And I do not intend to make it that way either.

Just feeling a little sleepy right now. Had an early day. Brain's calling out for me to hit the sack even though it's not dark yet. It's funny how you react to certain things sometimes. Would very much like to go back home now to sleep, but another part of me is calling me, pulling me to go enjoy myself tonight.

The mind is a funny thing to decipher.

Hope this blog is not going to degenerate into plain, simple crap down the road.

God bless us all.
