woah. attack of the relationship experts. somehow we're able to regurgitate all that we know about love and relationships but it has been challenging to apply them. zhanz... are you trying to advise jon or kill him?? (see comments) i've been trying to let the blog display the number of comments for each entry but to no avail.

anyway, the radio.blog is down temporarily. the host decided to keep file size at a max of 500kb, so i've been searching for another free host. please recommend.

hmm... sent to me by yunghei...

why are break-ups painful?

have you ever thought about it?

a break up brings an end to a relationship, be it a fledgling romance, or a painstakingly moulded amour. it is akin to, let's say, an oscillating system that is critically damped. it nips the problem(s) in the bud, right there and then. no more unhappiness, no more bickering. effective? perhaps. what matters, at least, is that the two parties just cease the intra-conflict, and are able to start afresh instead of settling for a lifetime of unhappiness, or rather, attempted happiness.

the immediate loss of a loved one from a breakup is nonetheless, excruciating. the age-old cliches 'my world has crumbled', 'its the end'... i need not elaborate. there could exist a thought of suicide, and surely, there is no yardstick for the depth of this melancholy. then again, relationships, to all extents, require investments to keep it going. the intangible things like time and effort seem to have gone down the drain. even more so, how about the love that has been devoted? in my opinion, there is no amicable break up. if people say they parted amicably, either they haven't truly cherished the relationship, or they haven't treated it seriously enough. on a more practical note, i guess people feel sad because of the lightness with which the relationship has been taken. after all, a relationship requires mutual trust and understanding. i believe, in all honesty, that this promise is made with the intention to carry on the relationship to eternity, or at least as much of it as can be had in a lifetime, and to breakup would be analogous to conceding that we were liars to begin with and should never had made that promise. so are we liars?

are relationships merely expandable friendships?

Perhaps, breakups are perceived as nothing more than a convenience in the eyes to many...

the previous entry looked like a prima facie virus attack. what's with the jap characters?? (oh sh**, i sound like florence ah lian...) not like anybody understands them anyway.
and (yes, i know, bad grammer... but gp is over and lim ah is not reading this. never.) is the quote for me or you? i'm a victim ok! talk about irony...

rant aside, let's talk some serious stuff. after weeks of mugging cum swimming sessions, i made a couple of discoveries. no, this has nothing to do with my weight.

zhanz shows signs of hermaphroditism... maybe a sequential hermaphrodite. cool...

"All Day Long I Dream About Sex" by JC Chasez (one of the nsync guys)
this is an irritating song... but hey, it's popular! (see radio.blog)

by the way, i'm not the protagonist of the song.
so here i am, after more than 2 weeks of hibernation, trying to think of something to write. i'll start with the irony... let me see...

quote of the day : "Verbose quotes that are heaving with grandiloquent vocabulary rapidly breed repugnance." -winkz-

i would agree. stress is.. omg for a moment there my mind lapsed into le chatelier's crap... i guess it has pretty insidious effects? people become truculent? on the flip side of the coin, it is after all, a driving force to an extent.. but oh well.. 2 weeks from now.. the palpable sense of relief.. haha relish in it =)

A: please update your blog lah... can't wait for the MTVs to go... they're lagging my com!
Me: eh...ok...

so here i am, after more than 2 weeks of dormancy, trying to think of something to write. i'll start with the corny... let me see...

quote of the day: "your oratorical sonorities are too pleonastic to be expeditiously assimilated."

site of the day: http://dictionary.reference.com/ (useful huh?)

joke of the day: you... of course! ha...

I guess it's the post-paper, pre-paper, "stuck in the middle" stress :p
