First thing first, I know it's kinda late, but...
Happy New Year to those whom I hold dear, as well as anyone reading this. May you be a healthy, happy, successful and lucky person during the year ahead, or at least 80% of the time. :)
Secondly, sorry for not updating my blog for like I-don't-know-how-long. It was not due to school work or something, just blame me and my laziness. Nothing much has been going on actually, except for some minor health problems. Examples? Burn on my arm by the heater in the lab, scar on my right heel by a random chair (in the lab also), and burn on my right middle finger by the steam vent of the rice cooker (want me to show you? ^^). But they're all nothing compared to my ear infection, which was totally a pain in the ass. Er no, I mean the head. After one week bearing with the pain and irritation, taking medication even more than food, and spending about S$300 for checkup and treatment, I finally got it fixed. Phew... Still, I'm gonna see the doc again on the 20th just to make sure everything's okay before Chinese New Year (someone gotta remind me about this appointment, you all know my short-term memory disorder). Mentioning about CNY, this will be the first time I celebrate the festive season alone and oversea. Unlike Christmas, there won't be much activities during those few days, I guess. Everyone will be busy visiting relatives, giving and receiving wishes (plus 'ang pao' for the elderly and kids). How about me? Of course burying my head in revision for the coming end-term papers in February, and also the stupid 2000-word assignment. Yeah.
So, health is fine by now, school is so-so, money... Arh, don't mention about that, I'm broke. But somehow will manage to survive after paying air ticket and January rent.
And relationship(s).
Well, it's really great to see my little Willow having her first real-life boyfriend. Though it means her time for me might somehow reduce, I don't mind, really. Instead I feel happy and secure for her by the fact that Brian is sincere, caring, and most importantly, loves her. :)
As for me, I started thinking a lot about online and real-life attractions. One begins with personality and inner soul, while the other is about physical and observable aspect. When you know and adore someone via the internet (except for the masking cases), you have this familiar willing-to-share feeling, which takes a lot more to achieve with a person you know in real. The bond between two lonely souls also seems to grow faster with every conversation and every little secret shared. Days pass by, the relationship can become really sweet and you wouldn't wanna lose that person, though deep inside, you have long realized that the connection could evaporate anytime due to boredom, or whatever reason. Thus, unless an online attraction is constantly filled with concern and eventually turned into a real-life one, I wonder how long it will be able to survive in this era of 'instant noodles'. Now considering a real-life crush, it sounds much more reliable since you can see the person with your own eyes like almost everyday, yeah? Yes, he has a crush on you and don't deny it, you also think he's cute like hell. You do wait for the day he will actually say 'Hey' to you, and an awkward conversation will kick start for everything. But wait, it ain't that simple. Okay, unlike someone online, he can't just disappear anytime, at least he will keep the intention of getting to know you for a while. But who knows what might turn out if you two begin to know more about each other? Wake up, you don't even know each other's name!
In short, online and real-life attractions have their own pros and cons on the way towards a serious relationship. I know there have been plenty of arguments and analysis over this kinda topic, only a few of which have I read. Nevertheless, the above paragraph was composed with my own experience, my own feelings and thinking (entirely fresh one). Do share your opinions via shout box or directly with me. Or simply take action if you feel like you should. Hailey's officially confused and don't really know what to do next. It's not up to her until someone actually takes the initiative. Okay, it's now 3.30 in the morning, so she'll stop thinking and head to bed.
Ran out of blogging mood. Love ya all (except for the ones I hate). I'll be back soon (hopefully).

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale.
I'm not the one you sweep off her feet,
Lead her up the stairwell.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town...
