just came back from sending my bros to sch. with my dad sitting beside me of course. :D and it's actually quite scary. there were almost 2 accidents, haha, but priase God, came home safely in the end.

case1
outside the police academy where i was in the right 1/2 of a converging lane, and there was a car moving into the lane too; together with a clown(motorbike) tt was trying to keep left into my lane from the lane on my right; and a bus tt narrowed everything down to a narrow corridor. haha. and i think i swerved a little, but tt certainly woke me up with the adrenaline rush.

case2
near east coast on one of those 2 laners there was a red hyundai behind me, and he suddenly overtook me from the left, only to cut in front of me immediately after he passed me w/o signalling whatsover. cause he wanted to turn right into a small road just shortly in front. and so he decelerated so fast when he was so close in front of me. haiyoh. tt was really very close. but i moved to the left lane (which was thankfully empty since we were the only 2 cars there at tt time) quickly just short of banging into the car.

it's just amazing how the morning traffic goes, and i was initially quite shocked, upset, and even annoyed at how some pple drive, i thought abt it for a while, and realise tt THIS is the real driving on the roads. what we learnt in those driving centres is really just rubbish. there's just SO much more to real road driving as compared to ur nice little perfect driving conditions tt u work under in the circuits and test route.

welcome to the real world boy. and here, driving lessons are everytime u sit behind tt wheel.

and another note, i was thinking of my close female friend and the things tt she told me recently. she's really a nice girl, but we're just close friends if u're thinking of anything right now. :D but anyway u know, love endures everything. a long-standing relationship surely must count for something in a person's heart, and i know tt even if i feel tt my gf has let me down in any way, i'ld just love her even more. u shouldn't be looking for a way to bail out.

what's it tt i like about a person in the first place? has tt changed over the years? i don't know. i still believe tt love can override all the flaws u see in the person u love. quote: u like someone for his good points, but u love him for his flaws.

breakups are sad. they leave u with a scar tt lasts for quite a long time. i haven't been in any real breakups before, but i've had a slight taste of a very-much scaled down one. and it was terrible. which is perhaps why i'm much more cautious now to enter a relationship.

i think comprimise is a major component in any relationship. quote: give in some of the time, give way most of the time. commitments are part and parcel of life and everyone has them, though we try our best to keep them, sometimes we inevitably disappoint. but give way and give in because u love him, not simply because u think tt it's the right way to do things.

pple need time to change too. don't feel unappreciated cause guys are just SO coconut-headed. well, sometimes at least. :D give us some time to change for the better to love u better! haha, rather akin to hdb block upgrading.

when i was thinking about what she said, certain other thoughts also came to my head about myself and my usual thoughts abt love. try to avoid breakups, which means going back to the pt when u first enter into the relationship. get into one for the right reasons, not because u fell in love with love, like i probably did.

in fact this friend was the one who asked me why i wanted to have someone to love and hold and give to. i couldn't give her the ans at tt time, but now i realise it was because i was falling in love with love; just wanting someone to show love to. silly, cause such things do not work out. wrong reason for start = bad ending. haha, which is why maybe i'll prob not fulfill my plans of getting married by 26. :D *silly grin*
