So Long, Singapore

post #256

"..Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are..."

Coldplay - The Scientist accompanied my while I was writing this blog. It's been two days I went back from Singapore and the excitement had almost vanished by work. Yeah, another project, another role...another level of stress....

Saturday went by so fast and the weather was not too friendly. It was cloudy. Woke up at around 10 AM and prepared myself a breakfast...Indofood noodles...lolzz....Then as planned, went to Chinatown. Got some interesting souvenirs there, with cheap prices too...Quite a bargain. Then went along the South Bridge road, took some pictures while rain was pouring down lightly. But near Central, it was getting heavier so I canceled Clarke Quay exploration, just look for a while then took the MRT back to Bishan.

There's something caught my attention while I was walking down the Junction. Samuel and Kevin SALE!... Well I looked at it the other night along with Giordano, Esprit and Levi's sale. But nothing interested me. This time it was different. There were some that caught my eyes. So I tried them on and finally bought them S$ 7 from original S$ 16. Not bad, huh?

Chatted then relaxed my feet for a while after I got back to my friend's place. Then in the afternoon I had a gathering with some friends I'd known from a forum. It's very nice to finally meet them in person. It gave me a better understanding about them. We talked a lot at Gloria Jeans Coffee (since Starbucks was very crowded and we didn't get seats there). Four hours went by so fast. I went back to my friends place then started packing since my flight was on Sunday morning.

Sunday was great. Still exhausted from the intensive walking and flight but I wouldn't trade the time I had on Sunday with sleep. Wish it could last longer...


"If you're lost, you can look and you will find me...Time after time....
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting....Time after time..."

Eva's voice echoed and brought me back to Smallville season 1 episode 19: Crush... *sigh...how long had it been? Almost 7 years. Yeah, seven years since the first time I heard the song....at that particular scene...a sad, problematic situation that Clark had to face....go on and follow his ego...or hold back, put aside his ego, hurt himself in the process.....

Reminded me of a friend of mine. He said there're some 'wise words' that were contradicting. "If you really love someone, you gotta let that person free/go". On the other hand there's a saying: "You gotta fight for the one you love". Which one was the correct one?

Why didn't Clark acted selfish and fought for Lana's love? She's in doubt about her relationship with Whitney and Clark had the best chance to squeeze in and won her. But only because he knew that Whitney had some problems with his dad, he chose differently. He was really (quoting Bruce Wayne's words) an all time boyscout...

Why? Wasn't she worth the fight, remembering she'd been Clark's crush since....forever? Why should we sacrifice our own happiness for someone else's (which we don't really care about, in this case, Whitney's)? If it's for the happiness of someone we care so much...it's ok lahh.

Was it because of the timing? Clark waited for another year and they finally became a couple...but not for long. And we all knew that in the end he'd end up with Lois instead of Lana which at the time he didn't know that.

Ermm...so many questions, doubts and scenarios that could be derived...again it's never easy when it came to feelings. And it even got messier when logic got in the way. What the heart wanted was not always in sync with logical thinking. They often contradicting and the standard of right and wrong thing to do became hard to be defined.

Here I am, in the middle of the nite, babbling about Smallville and feelings. How's Kristin Kreuk? The latest news I heard that she'd be the leading role for the upcoming Street Fighter movie....I should really get some sleep now....before I talk about other things that irrelevant at all


That sad look in your eyes...longing for something...but could never really express it....
