once again my lack of talent in the psychomotor skills department was once again reaffirmed when darell tried to teach me [rather unsuccessfully] a racket sport. but then i remember what angel once told me, that it's really not the case that all sportspeople are naturally talented but really that their drive and passion for the sport gives them the will power to commit and practice a lot harder and much more often.

if there was once thing i wished i could change when i was small, 

i wish i were athletic. 

but of course i have many things that other's don't have [or so i have been told, but never really realised?]

before that darell was lamenting about our status as old left-on-the-shelfs that would soon expire once we graduate [which is in approximately less than a year, really] and then we were all laughing at the pact we made some time ago, when we were talking about our single status; wei had made us agree to her idea of having some kind of speed dating on valentines day next year if we were all still single then.

i really can't help but laugh at the thought of speed dating,

but then again, why not; sometimes it's just about trying things outside of your comfort zone.

and then i don't know how the topic changed [probably because i think i fell asleep on and off lying rather comfortably on darell's new elevated wooden floor. i moved under her desk and lay there for a while afterwards. i dont know why, sleeping under the table is just so assuring.] but we ended up talking about relationships 

and then [half-asleep, i think] i asked them if they felt that it was similarities bring people together or that opposites attract. darell said it was the differences, while wei said the former. then i told them, what social psychology studies have found [that is, based on research and what i learnt, which is empirically based and hopefully not screwed] that it's really similarities, especially for things like views on religion, way of life etc.

and then wei said, that it would be best for both if you could learn something from each other. which is where the opposites attract part.

and then i thought,

but what can you learn from me?

i heard this song while i was accompanying amanda shopping, in some store [was it topshop? or river island?] and then it kind of got stuck in my head after that, for the rest of today. 

the lyrics are kind of needy but the rhythm is kinda catchy.

need to listen to more genres of music. 

in retrospect, the past week has generally been a fruitful one, today included. 

it's really too good to be true. sometimes when there are sudden surprises, or when things turn out too unexpectedly well, or smooth-sailing, i wonder to myself whether these things will last, or whether i'm just dreaming, or whether i'm really deserving. mostly i wonder how long they will last.

i never really put my hopes up too high, 

because, from experience,

they never last much longer.
