German

Had a great time learning German words yesterday.
This coming from me?
Yes, it's true.
I really enjoyed learning the multitude of words for the test today.
The tricky part about German is that the every noun has a gender and a plural form.
The plural form is plain tricky and boring to memorise.
However, with regards to the gender of nouns, it was great fun.
Example: Weltkrieg (world war), is a masculine noun.
To learn the gender, i juz need to remember that WW1 & 2 were started by men.
For the noun Park, juz need to rem that women cant park and thus it's a masculine noun.
However, it is not all that straightforward.
Me, T, G, P and Y were deliberating over certain tricky nouns like Police.
Why?
Coz Polizei (police) is a feminine noun!
Anyways, i finally managed to equate Police with a feminine conception.
Think Wong Li Lin in Triple 9.
Yes, it's lame.
But what better way to remember!?
Anyways, that was the first time i studied so bloody hard and long this semester.
Hope it wont be the last.
Hopping onto another topic......
Didnt talk to J for a long time liao.
I didnt initiate.
Neither did she.
Oh well.....
I'm juz at a loss.
Lost for words and topics when i see her in class or online.
Maybe i'm not really attracted to her that strongly in the first place.
Maybe i'm juz afraid. (this sounds more likely)
Am i kidding?
I dunno.
Time will tell, as the old adage goes.
Good news!!!
My mum sort of forgiven me liaoz.
She didnt exactly say she did but her actions spoke for her.
1st sign, she called me and asked if i'm going back for dinner.
Yeah, we're on talking terms again.
2nd sign, she returned me the 1k with a note saying - "Whenever you do something, you must do it with responsibility and care." (in chinese)
3rd sign, she let me drive here to use the com.
Looks like my repentance is almost complete.
The stage is set for me to show that i can be responsible.
Signed up to be a facilitator for the upcoming Arts camp for Freshies.
Went thru this interview that was supposed to be a formality.
However, i did something embarassing.
Was asked to do a cheer.
Which is so not my forte.
Havent done any cheers for like eons.
And the only one that popped up in my mind was the BP cheer.
Oh gosh!!!
And i did a william-hung-style rendition of the cheer.
Thinking of it now, i cringe and grin to myself.
Well, it's good to do something embarassing sometimes.
Helps to maintain the delicate balance.
The balance of a level-headed mind.
"Breathe, my soul, Dance, my heart"
The above is J's nick on msn.
However hard i try, i cant seem to type a single text to her.
Think i cannot be bothered liaoz.
Oh yes, before i forget, i wanna revise my previous theory on Attached girls that one happens to like.

"So what if the gals u like r attached? So what if they juz got tgt or been tgt for a long time? The pt to note here is: Be there for them when they break up. Theory is simple - at this sort of age, the couples either break up after a while or they get married."

The fundamental flaw to this theory lies in me assuming that it's so easy to continue being friends with the girl after one found out that she's attached.
Speaking from experience, it's not.
For one, if one gets closer to her(in terms of friendship), wouldnt one be more tormented by the fact that she feels only for that Significant Other?
Also, the closer one gets to the Girl in question, the more attracted one would be to her, resulting only in unfulfilled emotional longings.
Is this healthy then?
Should we then continue being friends while keeping our options open?
Some may argue that a true friendship is even more beautiful than a true relationship.
And that we should only focus on what we have, instead of aspiring for the unreachable.
Tho' it would be the opinion of the minority or coming from a totally warped yet unique mind.
I think there isnt really a sure-fire method with regards to intangible stuff like emotions, feelings, freindships and relationships.
The appropriate conclusion for a discourse like this would be: To each his own.
For the heart is relativistic and capricious.
