Man, I'm so sore from tennis. lolz. My whole body aches. And surprisingly my bum is sore too! lolz I didn't know you use your butt muscles when you play tennis?! haha. But, I can't wait to play again. hehe. It was so much fun. I won't get to play for a while coz my tennis buddies are going overseas :( Everyone's leaving me.

There are so many people who are busy, overseas or are going to be away. Mel, Anna and Steph are overseas; Sara, Cam and Jing are going overseas, Bud and Rani are working everyday, Mikey is working at the tennis, Jess and Ling are back home, Tina and Darren are working... soon there'll be no one left but poor lil me. :( So sad... and I'm so bored. I thought I would be working a lot these holidays but I'm not. We don't get very busy during end of Jan and early Feb. We may pick up nearer to Valentines Day.

Oooo, speaking of Valentine's Day... who's got something special planned?! hehe. Maybe this year my knight in shining armour will come and rescue me from this single life. haha. One can only wish... hehe. Though come to think of it, it has been sad to witness so many break ups in the last 3 months. So many of my friends have broken up with their partners... 5 in the last 3 months. That's heaps! And it hasn't just been short term relationships for like one or two months, they have been 2, 3, 4 and even close to 5 year relationships! Its crazy! There must be something in the water... >.< How hard must it be to break off a long term relationship like that. When and how do you realise that this person you have spent so many magical moments with is not the person you're meant to be with? How do you know? 2 years is a long time, let alone 5! How can you just suddenly realise that you no longer want to be with them?

For me, I've never been the one to break up with anyone which is why I ponder on those questions. I mean sure, they can also be logical reasons as to why you have to break up with them eg. they cheat on you, but if nothing so extreme happens, what reason is there that you break up with them? You've been going out with them for more than 2 years, surely you would have learnt how to deal with their annoying habits or flaws or at least come to some sort of compromisation with them. Nobody's perfect and everyone makes mistakes. There is no use trying to change a person because you find things that you don't agree with. If you don't like something then try to change the way you think about it. I mean you wouldn't have gone out with them in the first place if you only concentrated on their flaws. You learn from each other in a relationship. You learn that there are more ways than one to everything. You just have to listen and learn. But these are just ramblings I have in my mind, a mind that has not yet experienced such relationship issues and therefore will not completely understand them until I do. You can never really say "I know how you feel..." when you have never experienced it for yourself.

Hrmm.. not sure where these thought are coming from. I guess it's sad to hear about my friends breaking up. You think you know a person, but I don't think you ever will until its too late. You think that they would never do such things but they do. You always hear on the news about how husbands or wives are killing each other or even worse, their kids. How are you suppose to know that you've married a pyscho?! That's just it. You don't. The world just isn't safe anymore. Not even in your own home. Not even within your own family. But life goes on. And you do have families who you can trust with your life. Those families who share everything and anything and know that'll you'll be safe around them. We need more of those people in the world. The world would be a better place if we did.
