Brand New Broken Heart
by ac240v

i jus cant forget e way my relationship wif liz ended.. somehow i knew tt it was gonna end sooner or later.. cos it was not in stable equilibrium.. hehe.. we watched e movie "e terminal" at tiong bahru plaza wif her on dis date a yr ago.. we kept quiet n kept our hands to ourselves throughout e movie.. she was feelin cold but she din wan me to hug her.. den i said to myself.. fuck la.. no hope liao.. e end is near.. tt nite, my worst fear came true.. she told me tt she wanna break up.. tt was e mother's great-great-great-grandmother of all news.. i din noe how to react.. i was like totally stunned.. hang.. blue screen.. i jus said.. huh..? r u sure? y? orh.. if u feel tt we'll b better off bein separated den ok lo.. wat a nice way to terminate a relationship rite after watchin e terminal.. how convenient..

well.. i've been out of a relationship for a yr now.. startin to put e shittiness of e past behind.. hvnt been able to find someone else to share my life wif though.. tot tt bein uni would help compared to bein in nee soon camp.. nope.. not wen everybody's busy studyin all e time.. n not wen i see her like every other day in campus.. wif her new bf..

wateva it is.. it's over.. move on.. b a man.. do e rite thing.. if i reali love her den i would let her choose who she wans to b wif rite.. hope she's happier wif her new guy.. aniwae nx jan, she'll b flyin off to tampere, finland for an exchange programme.. hope she'll let me send her off at e airport on her departure.. i wonder how it'll b like if she lets me come n den i see her bf there too.. so.. gone for 6 mths.. after tt back for another yr.. n den it's her convocation ceremony liao..

take care.. i wish u all e best in wateva u're gonna do.. i love u n will oways love u, liz..

e day we've all been waitin for has finally arrived..! i'm not gonna talk much abt it.. jus enjoy lookin at e photos..

hey.. long time no blog huh.. been reali busy wif both CCAs.. aniwae, 'reminiscence' is e theme for nus engin day 2005.. here r e posters n e 'footprints' which leads to e venue of e event.. it's diz fri, 160505, 12-6pm, outside lt6.. it's a half day for all engin students.. it's sort of a bazaar/fair kinda thingy.. there'll b stalls where ppl sell all kinda stuf, games n e highlight of e day, engin idol.. lotsa fun n prizes to b won.. my team n i r abt to finish paintin e banner.. wen it's done, i'll post it up here..

mid-sem break is comin.. diz is e last wk of sch.. 'break' doesn't mean holiday.. it's means switchin to mugger mode.. cos once e break ends, it's test time.. i haf 3 papers to study for.. statics, physics n maths.. maths is quite ok.. i'm abit weak in physics.. but e real killer is statics.. it's gonna pull my grades down.. i haf no idea how to solve a statics problem.. n i hate to draw free-body diagrams..
