Loaded... But not rich...

For those who know better, my last year was pretty rough, adjusting to the ship/work load and so on, plus having bless by the law of Murthy, what can go wrong DID go wrong...

This year so far have been very kind to me...
the people onboard have a new respect for me (ironic thing is that the same respect was came from the same thing which got me into trouble last year), just got my (belated) promotion, finally finish my bike lesson (all thats left is the final exam), pick up a new hobby which surprisingly keep me awake on my worst hours (ironic, again, its the same thing that used to put me to sleep) and now got a place in a course i've been planning for eons...

The only draw back i see so far is firstly, my wallet/savings are now a crash diet, my games are wittering away cause I haven't had time to even rest well and there seems to be a growing distance between my friends, family and most important, my dear girlfriend...


I could be thinking too much like I've always do but something just doesn't feel right...
my parent are growing increasingly afraid of me, my friends are drifting away from me (literally) and my girlfriend... my dear...



I need a break...

PS: I love you...

Ok, so thats not the most original title in the world and i'll probably get my ass sued should anything goes wrong...
So...

Sue me already =P


Anyway, as miracle as it sounds, i, Jack Tan, did the impossible...
venture through the darkest route, conquer the most dangerous obstacles and face to face with my greatest fear...

I read a book...

You may laugh, you may...
but coming from someone who took 5years to finish 'Jurassic Park' (read 3 pages, fell asleep, woke up and totally forget what i've read, flip back 2 pages, continue read 3 pages, repeat... and to make it worse, i actually skip quite a few chapter too =P), its quite a grand acomplishment for me...


Well, no price for guessing what i read, the movie is coming out soon this Valentine Day, 'PS: I love you' is worth reading...
for those who don't know yet, here's a simple intro: its bout a widow who while grefing over her dead husband, received letters which he had planned before he left, guiding her step by step to getting back onto her feets and live life again...

to tell the truth, i've never intend the read any book, let along this, since... err... secondary? (i'm not good with books ok? besides, my sleeping problem ain't the most helpful with it...)
but something hit me the last time when i watch 'Shrek 2'...
Shrek is complaning over how insencitive his new father-in-law is and throwing tantrum bout wanting to head back home... Thats when Fiona exclaim: think bout how much i've change for you...

My dear have change alot over the years; some good, some bad, some takes longer than expected and some still need some work...
quite frankly i couldn't ask for more (give and take...), but there is something which i really wish she would do for me... Help me play some games which i really need a partner in...

Thinking back at what Fiona said, i believe is did my fare share of work as her boyfriend in taking care of her, guiding and helping her through her rough times in school, paying for all our expenses, providing the listening (deaf) ear for her to rant about her lousy day... i even learn to pick up those girly stuff so we have more topic to talk about...
But one thing i failed is that i haven't able to read like she does... always thinking she'll explain it to me if i really so keen to know, or somehow the theater version would appear and we'll catch it together (wishing she would do the same for my macho guy movie)...

But this time, she insist she'll sit out this movie, thinking the movie won't able to capture the magic of the book (i agree)...


If i can't share the movie with you, i'll read to book to share the magic too...
Dear, this is my greatest 'change' i've ever done to for you...

PS: I love you...
