i felt compelled to blog, maybe it's the circumstances.

i was touched by mr. chirnside today, especially admiring his courage to put up an earnest presentation of his surprisingly complicated family background during pastoral care period. not to mention the lesson he incorporated into his life story. it's amazing how from such a complex background he's become the teacher he is now, a fervent believer and a model example to both his students and children (:

it was also through him i realised the band of brothers i've found. 7 guys doing almost everything together: eat, soccer, study, pokemon, dota, making fun of ahem and the list continues. even though we've had arguments (sometimes sprouting from one person only), we always end up patching up. i've always had the idea that the smart person treasures his friends, and so i will. close friends are hard to come by, thus i shall not be a fool and fail to see that (:

speaking of friends, only recently i've formed a special affinity with a special someone. i can't quite describe it as the nature of our relationship is hard to put and properly expressed in words. it's not quite the average experience. sometimes it's in the form of a secret getaway, at others it swiftly transforms into an exchange of sheer jest. the things we do together and the names we give each other are altogether worth remembering. one thing amazing to observe about close friends is how it all starts out and how it blooms into the bond it is now (: it only brings about anticipation as to what the future holds haha.

i'm feeling unbelievably ok since the eugene incident a few days back. it was like being caught between a crossfire. my initial feelings of frustration?anger?anxiety? have dissipated and i'm back to normal. chirnside's timely presentation serves as a reminder that my life has a bigger purpose (: one that serves up a fat reward at the end of it all.

maybe arsenal's great performances have also contributed to my overall mood. i can't believe they're performing so well without henry. go for the premiership and champions league, it is finally within grasp! :D fabregas is my new role model!
