"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says.
The tension of opposites?
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."
Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.
"A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way."
So which side wins, I ask.
"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
"Love wins. Love always wins."

it's been one huge rollercoaster ride that i just got off.
i really wonder who's happy now. or appeased, whatever.
i could very easily say that life's been a bitch...
only that it has not really been.
jesh says i've grown so much, and i sure hope he's right.
somehow i know everything's going to turn out just perfect.
i have God, my family and friends loving me, that's all that matters for now :)
and just so you know, ryan and i broke up already.
pao asked if i regret it now, after everything. and it's funny, cos it didn't cross my mind that way. so yea, the answer's a no.
stop judging already, will you?
(tho i guess that even if you still do, there's only so much we can do..
and have already done.)
okay, so now it's time to really move on...

Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesnt matter what I do now
Doesnt matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Say your prayers, little one
Don't forget, my son,
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
Exit: light
Enter: night
Grain of sand
Exit: light
Enter: night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
enter the sandman

you know, it's really weird when you have 2 people (who are unrelated, one of whom's a random shopkeeper) telling you to be careful, all within a span of less than 5 mins.
i ended up walking back to work from lunch being a lil bit more cautious of everything around me. like um.. m i going to trip over smth or what.
and then IT happened! i dripped my blue coloured slurpee on my leg cos i was careless and tilted it over slightly. like hrm.
okay, at least i hope that's it :)
