warm and fuzzy feeling.

i can't describe the feeling when you've just met your fren whom you've almost like lost contact with for the last year and half or so. it's like those warm and fuzzy feelings that you've not been forgotten..or that the person still values your frenship.
i've never been big on frenships, cos in this everchanging world which moves so quickly, it's best to have a few frens whom you are close to rather than be a social butterfly and know so many people, whose faces you'd probably forget as they are swept away, like your memories of them.
but it's nice to be remembered. =)
anyway, met up with kahsing, my training partner for like.2.5 years in secondary sch.
and we crapped like crazy like how we usually did in training and in school about anything and everything... can't help it, there's so much to talk about when you've not been in touch for a year plusplusplus.. like all that gossip about fellow school mates, subject teachers, school in general, how crazy the seniors are etcetcetc.
and i have to admit how nice it was to have someone to talk nonsense to and say random stuff and just laugh and laugh and laugh like in sji.
it's just times like these i miss sji alot.

oh and did i mention that running is therapeutic?
just like bitching, which is rather obvious why.
went to the gym with reuben vanda jessica and joan..
where somehow i managed to treadmill 4km.
which for me is a totally new record. haha cos i'm those type of people who can't and won't run to save my life kind.
and i was just pondering on what my aunt said.
generally, people in the top colleges are much less friendly that those in the not-so-good colleges.
i guess it's true to a certain extent. shall not elaborate more to prevent politically incorrect stuff to be published on the world wide web for people to exploit and attack and flame, cos apparently, you must be responsible for what you post online.

oh yes. before i actually sign off, i MUST bitch about this.
during the NTU econs seminar, my schoolmate went to ask a question.
then she somehow managed to mention something rather politically incorrect about other schools.
something that went," i'm not sure if other colleges teach static and dynamic competition, but i know rj does."
in response to her comment, the other schools gave remarks that bordered on envy,disgust etc.
eg. whooaaa.
AND. if that wasn't bad enough. to my horror and shock later, there was this CJ teacher who went to the mike and said,
"i am a teacher from catholic junior college. i would like to clarify that the other schools also teach static and dynamic competition, not just RJ."
and to my chagrin, the other schools just cheered.
ok. maybe i wasn't really that vexed over the cheering, cos it's to be expected.
but what really perplexes me is the way the teacher reacted so violently.
to me, i find that it is highly childish to launch a direct attack on a student not from your own college.
was it out of jealousy or because of a personal vendetta which made him do it?
whatever his reasons, i was utterly disgusted and repulsed by his behaviour.
i just could NOT believe that i was actually hearing such words from a TEACHER.
one of the supposed educators who can mould the future of a nation.
and i might like to put it rather vulgarly that it was a pretty gay action, and it just smacked of desperation to get recognition.
like. SO WHAT if CJ teaches static and dynamic competition?
SO WHAT? good for you la! do you need to publicise the fact that you do teach it?
and anyway, it wasn't even an antagonistic remark; it was more of an afterthought.
if you can't even recognise the function of afterthoughts, please go and shoot yourself.
or preferably, maim yourself until you're unrecognisable.
or perhaps you might just inject yourself with some time-reversal hormone such that you can return to preschool and say stuff like.
"you think only you have this meh? i also have leh!"
damn it. why do some people CHOOSE to behave this way in front of everyone?
