Best of so many worlds..

Could I ever ask for more? Life has been kind to me..

My formative years were spent in a dungeon of despair that was so very much Dunman High.

Going into JC, I never expected much out of it, and yet it was very much the hand of fate that guided me along. Joining TJ after the first three months, finding the girl that I sorta liked in the same class (Koof wuz an added bonus), joining soccer and meeting all those friends, getting to know THE girl, stumbling along, getting hopelessly drunk and depressed on Dance Nite Yr 1, winning the inter-house soccer comp, flunking my tests and exams, having my GP tutor flirt with me, getting a date with HER, falling in love at last, finding her beside me, scraped thru the prelims, getting unbelievable results for the 'A's (she included), meeting her family (she met mine too)...

Until NS came along.

Once again it seemed that my life had hit the doldrums again. The torture that wuz BMT, the agony of injuring my back in Section Battle Course, the horror that wuz PS Thor, the withering feeling that came about with OOC.. This morbid feeling, so familiar as it was alien, the temporary relief that was PLAB, the incessant politics in FDS Logistics took its toll. I was never one to bend over to accomodate partiality, and that worked to my detriment. The loneliness, so much a part of my NS life, was made bearable with HER presence and the late introduction of Melvin and Greg. The horrible feelings that accompanied each and every rejected scholarship application, with so many falling at the last hurdle were a mixture of disappointment and rage. Rage?

ORD and NUS was a brilliant solution. I had so badly wanted to join my two closest friends at SMU, but i stuck with the retort "Had SMU have an Engineering Faculty, I would've gladly gone there" Furthermore, they never did reply to my application for studies there. In any case, had I gone there, there would not have been any hope of me securing THE scholarship, and SHE'd probably have me castrated for not going NTU with the same course. Well, maybe not. Then again.... think SMU babes...

Our relationship went on the upturn, and it has, indeed, since my Matric, and we've never been a closer couple. Friends envy my relationship, and I couldn't agree more. So much for a first entry.. Good Nite...
