Grandma was just telling me about a man she knew and how he was constantly telling all and sundry about the girl he would someday marry…she would be beautiful, have flawless skin, etc etc.
Heheh, when he DID marry, it was to one of the plainest girls one could have ever seen. And the neighbours teased him like mad. But he was still happy with her.
I know if Dynamo were around and she heard this story, she would say this was a case of bad karma. But I prefer to think that there’s always a line that divides fantasy and reality and this line comes with maturity. Somewhere along the line, a voice in our heads tells us that we are never going to be that ace tennis star or a supermodel or marry a super-rich tycoon…but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. We learn to be happy with whatever package God has given us, despite the wild fantasies and crazy ambitions we had for ourselves. Reality isn’t such a bad thing, once we know where we stand and what we are capable of.

On a lighter note, I find that I am hooked on to the Chinese serial at 6 again. What the heck, when I m over in KL, I don’t watch tv at all. So I spend my time in Ipoh catching up on the latest serials and getting immersed in some imaginary characters’ lives.

At the moment, I m a little under the weather, but I believe I will be my usual perky self give or take a few more days.

Have been watching a few debates in my alma mater, SMI, for the past few weeks. Feels a bit nostalgic seeing the juniors on stage. The topics were interesting but definitely not lopsided. Anyhow, as I remember my contract law tutor saying, one must never give up even when it seems that there is no argument for the opposing side.
Try and think and who knows? The judge might buy your spiel. I had so much fun arguing with Yew Huoi in contract class, him of the 'it doesn’t matter if you get killed in a parking lot, or if the tour guide gets you lost in Taman Negara' fame, I’m missing it already. As I see it, I m fortunate that my brain cells are still in functional mode, being able to think of points for the abovementioned topics and to analyse and criticise arguments. Hell, I m going to be using my grey matter to the max in a couple of months...
