I believe that in everything that we do, we always have a choice and it's always up to us to do something about it unless it's really way out of our hands. For example, if I'm studying in NUS and I felt that I would do better and be happier to study something else, I would have just changed course. Things like the government elections and all are not within our means.
I guess some people are just not strong enough to fight for what they think they deserve better. Or maybe they just don't know what they want.
But whatever it is, in whatever decision you make, you must be aware of all the possible consequences of your actions and be ready and fully prepared to accept the outcomes! Don't make a decision and then go around telling people that you regret, that you wish you could have chosen an alternative cos it just means that you didn't make a well-informed choice and you're just gonna cause everyone to end up in a confused state..
My thoughts on relationships: If I am together with guy A, there is still that risk of the both of us causing a heartbreak if any of us choose to leave for someone better. Until marriage, nothing is definite. And if I am attached yet can fall for someone else, say guy B, there's 2 things that I can do about it. The first is to ask myself if it's just a passing thing or just a temptation. If I know that it's temporary, then I would choose to kill off my feelings and remain faithful to A. However, the fact that I can fall for someone else means that I don't think that A is THE ONE for me and that there are several things that I am not satisfied with in our relationship. Because if he was really the one, I would feel that I won't be able to find someone else who can match up to him and who is as good as him and I would be happy and contented with A. If I can fall for B and think that I would be better off and more compatible with him, then I would leave A and get together with B.
Relationships are just so complex eh.

Question to mull over: Do you fall in love when you're with someone or when you're not with someone?
Thanks Officer Chue for another nugget of wisdom :p

I don't know when I will ever be ready again but I guess when the opportunity presents itself to me, I will be fully prepared and ever ready to embrace it.
The thought of it grips me with a little fear and apprehension. Do I have to repeat the same mistake and let down my guard, only to realise that I have been foolish and naive? And then sink bottom down again? Arrrggh.
The first 2 days of school have been pretty okay. It's just the mad rush from lesson to lesson because most of my lessons are back to back. And it's hard to instill passion for music in the boys because boys being boys, the only things on their mind are food and sports. I just cannot tolerate boys who are rude and disrespectful!!

Only one person calls me "Michelle" in that really special way- "Mer- Shell". It can be rather hilarious but it's also affectionate.
I feel that I can be myself in front of you and not be self-conscious. And also wanting to be by your side always and wishing that time wouldn't pass so quickly.
I don't know how to sort out my feelings because there's always bound to be a grey area. But nonetheless, I really treasure your friendship alot at this point in time and I would never want anything to devastate this awesome bond between us both.

Last Thursday, I witnessed something that was rather moving. I was waiting at the control station for my friends and standing next to me was a man holding a bouquet of flowers. He was waiting rather serenely and I noticed that he was married.
A woman carrying a baby with a sling across her chest and pushing a baby pram with a sleeping child came through the gantry. A broad smile brightened her face upon seeing her husband, who was the man standing next to me. A look of genuine surprise flashed across her face and with tenderness, she accepted the bouquet of flowers from her husband. Despite being married for a few years (my speculation), her husband still bothered to pepper her life with little surprises to show his love and affection for his wife. She is one very lucky woman. The four of them moved off, the picture of perfect bliss. This little act of affection greatly touched me. Family. Love. Bliss. Something that I would definitely want to have when the time is right :)
Labels: love and family.

There's nothing like a hot cup of teh c to kickstart a day at work. I've been increasingly reliant on a cup of teh c to get me through the morning to fight off those tendencies to fall asleep.
A warm and fuzzy feeling comes over me when I reach the drinks stall at the coffeeshop and the people greet me with warm smiles and immediately make me a cup of teh c without me having to place my order because they remember me. A few of them came over to talk to me when I told them that it was my last day of work because I was going to enter the teaching workforce! A good thing my church is near this coffeeshop because at least they'll still remember me :p
I've been looking forward to this day for a really long time and I'm glad that it's finally here! Happy Friday and Hello Weekend! Plus Bye Bye Tiring Internship to kill time. And Hello badly needed 3 weeks of happy time and rest time!
These 3 weeks would consist of catching up on badly needed rest because I haven't had enough sleep for more than a month already, meetup with friends, church work and a short get away with my parents (which lets me soak up the short-lived joy of being an only child for those 3 days). EXCITED! :D
Really need to recharge and rejuvenate myself before entering the workforce officially :)
