Too Quick To Assume

With reference to DW's comment in I Got It Out Today :

I thought my translation class will span over V day next week. But due to mis-calculation, I was wrong. The class ends a day before V day. So, yeah, I am not spared from the "festivities" of the season. I will not be doing late night assignments then, I reckoned.

My "well-meaning" colleagues and boss will be asking me what will I be doing that night. And I will reply them that I am going home.

Standard answer as always. I mean, it's not as if there has been any difference for the past 31 years :)

I am not particularly affected by the "love is in the air" kinda lovey-dovey ambience. I mean it. Kinda immune to it. I will probably just use this time to reflect on the different perspectives of "love". Yeah, getting all philosophical :)

DW: I'll use the line again, with some editing.

The cut has become a scar. Visible but painless.

A new thought came to me today. There is no such thing called The Perfect Person (yeah, what's new). What I've been through was the closest I can get near to perfection. And it did not give me a perfect ending.

A friend called today. He's getting married. You know when he first got together with that girl, we bet they wouldn't last beyond 6 months. Because to us, the girl is very unsuitable for him. For reasons not suitable to be mentioned here.

So anyway, they are getting married.

Funny how things turn out to be huh? What we count is not what heaven count (direct translation from Chinese idiom).

We (think we) have it all figured out, but destiny has a different sum to the equation of Life.
