Of a wasted yet not so wasted day

Yesterday was pretty much wasted. Quite a frustrating day. Went to search for my missing wallet at some ulu Ang Mo Kio bus depot, only to find myself taking the wrong bus. The problem with taking the wrong bus going towards a wrong destination which you have no idea how it looks like is that the time wasted is compounded because of the return trip. zZz so I wasted 1.5h going around Singapore.

But of course, everything can be rationalized, and I told myself to just take it as a lesson that I should make sure all unknowns are understood before doing something. Right. I finally arrived at the bus depot only to find out that they were closed for the day.

2.5h wasted in the fruitless search for a wallet that got lost the previous day. Bleargh.

Anyway, I had an interesting conversation with Sianghuat and Leening yesterday. haha I was telling Sianghuat that he should go NS and become an officer so that he can attend the Officer's Ball where he would have to invite a girl of his choice. Of course, that led to questions asking him who he would choose and stuff, which spiralled into a conversation about relationships.

As our conversation became more interesting, Leening abandoned her attempts at studying while listening in and joined us too. haha it seems like Sianghuat views relationships through the lenses of a traditionalist, which is somewhat like me in a way. Leening raised an interesting idea and asked whether we were looking for a companion or someone to take care of when we consider such relationships.

Of course, my first thought was 'definitely companion', and Leening shared similar consensus. It made me think about the girl I would be looking for, and how she would be like. haha somehow I think... the ideal companion will be one with whom I can engage in endless talk on issues of life, love and life, while staring into her eyes and admiring the beauty that is within her soul (:

Mmm I realize that I often post 'processed thoughts' on my blog as opposed to 'natural thoughts'. Processed thoughts would probably be displayed in some kind of mechanism where meaning, significance and intention coalesce into a murky combination where one cannot be distinguished from another. Natural thoughts would just be thoughts that haven't really been mechanized into a different form.

I think the truth about relations is that everyone is subconsciously or consciously assessing the friends around us, classifying them as potentials or non-potentials. I read some article which wrote something about this as well, and even people who are coupled engage in such comparisons. At some point of time, we might even realize what we are doing. I guess that is why it is sometimes difficult to be great friends with the opposite gender. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to clarify that no romantic interests exist or should exist. haha oh well, life is complicated.

Alright, I better start studying. Yesterday... seemed like such a wasted day, but on hindsight, perhaps it wasn't.
