i had tkd on tuesday again. this time, my right sole's skin got peeled off. i lost my first 'official' sparring match on tuesday also. i was too concentrated on kicking my opponent that i forgot that i outstepped the boundaries. also, i didn't create distance between me and my opponent... gained a bruised left arm, aching ankle, skin off my right sole and left toe and general achiness. my mdm tells me to kick without waiting for the opponent to strike... i better incorporate that.... i guess...
had another terrible driving lesson again. i really think i have no aptitude to drive... can i just get my license without lessons?

"i miss having that kid around. he used to talk so much." - gin ichimaru
ya.. and i will miss your anti-cynical comments too!
this is week 10 at my pr company. its been interesting so far. but now i am stuck in doing mind numbing work of updating a database. so i will digress a bit from my work.
there was a brief discussion just now about how cheap undergrads throw themselves at high flying well connected people to get money. how can one be such a bitch/bastard and the other be so blind! also spare a thought for us less well endowed; we want to rob those rich blind people too!
seriously though, there are lines to be drawn sometimes. how low can one go. thats why i still stand by my principal that
love is a lie.
once i quoted that to my mum that line and she told me to refine that phrase cause not types of love is false.
so the refined quote would be:
romantic love is a lie
lets do a breakdown:
in primary school, you would curse at the opposite sex, swear NEVER to have anything to do with them and made promises never to be seen dead with them.
in secondary school, with the emergence of hormones, that changed after 2 years. you still 'hated' them, albeit superficially. then you would still swear never to have anything to do with them, in front of your friends. then you would promise never to be seen dead with them; of course you idiot! why be dead when there is them, they bring meaning to my otherwise meaningless life!
in junior college, you 'dislike' them for being so annoying. but don't
mind doing stuff with them and being seen with them is no big deal.
in university, well... let's just end it here. does rabid rabbits come to mind? i don't know, cause i am not yet in university.
so what is it that brings us together? the physical touch: crudely sex. emotional support? monetary issues? or a combination of complicated things: the bait of sex for cash etc etc.
so how when did we forget that we used to chase each other around the playground, throw mud (or less gross stuff) at each other and hiss and boo when we saw each other. apparently we did not forget; it was in our nature to do what we did since young. i read from somewhere that the pulling of girl's hair, the pinching and clashes that we had when were young was a another way of physical contact when we were young. just that we didn't know how to express it then.
the new paper came out the other day that a 9 year old singaporean girl got pregnant by a boy in the same school as her. that would make both of them primary schoolers. so the line between innocence and the harsh reality blurs again as it brought lower.
so how thats make love a lie? romantic love in essence is not really love. it actually is hormones streaming through your body telling you to mate! ok, probably not that crude, but in essence it is what it is. what makes you care? is it really care for the person... or just a route to get what is needed to be done.
do note however, i fully appreciate the other forms of unconditional love.
its a bit ironic. i know full well one day i will fall into a catch-22 position for saying that love is not really true well while i chase a few skirts. but this is my cynical view of things, and you may have to admit it is partially true, although a bit biased.
rebuttal/response/agreement appreciated.

the skin in front of toes have peeled away, exposing the raw skin underneath. this is due to last night's tkd training at the newly layered basketball court of Eunos CC. it made it hard for me to work back home yesterday and even now. (it feels like you soaked your legs in the water for too long when stepping on them) never been so shag at tkd for so long liao.
the electronic music production music course is going great. i am actually learning something... and actually enjoying what i am doing. although i go to class a bit tired all the time (the after effects of playing soccer then heading to class) i do appreciate what is being taught.
i been mulling over an idea for some time already. i initially planned to start a sub-blog or a chatbox on this page with the title: where were you 1, 5 ,10 years ago. this is examine your own paths before i knew you and what you were doing then. probably i will start my own what was i doing today blog and compiled it for years to come.

on saturday, kumar and i headed to opera estate where we heard that some batch of '03 guys from TJ were playing soccer regularly there. and lo and behold, there were all the old kakis we used to play with during our time in tj. it was sort of like a reminiscence game as we had not played with many of these guys since 2004. some of the key opponents from our time were there as well... it was much better then playing with random opponents at the street soccer court whom you do not know. i look forward to this saturday when we will play again. come to think about it, i look forward to every saturday nowadays.
i had to cut my game short as i had to attend the electronic music production course at sae singapore at 1200. so i left the court at 1100 (even then i was still late)
the first was rather dry; the theory of sound and various genres of music. basically it was a full theory lesson, and i fell asleep like for 5 mins partially due to the tiredness from the beginning. i think during that time i was sleeping, i missed out a pretty important part about EQ. great. i am looking forward the coming lesson now though, where we will get a hands on lesson in reason. yay!
during the break in the lesson, i went off to the nearby sunshine plaza a while and i spotted a limited edition final form sora from kingdom hearts 2. having a soft spot for these kind of figurines (and knowing that it is limited edition), i bought it and now it is standing nicely at my desk at home, together with auron (whose leg joints is broken, natural defect thats why i got it cheap) next on the list is balthier from ffxii!
on monday, my boss asked me to remember what i have learnt from my internship so far and list down what i want to learn. well i have learnt:
- that as a PR company, you are some sort like a middle man, you do a lot of legwork
- what are press releases and press advisories
- that i have to talk slower over the phone
- that in emails your main topic has to be in the first few lines for your email
- that getting sponsorship is not easy
- research!
