Well, it’s the end of the recess week and indeed, there’s been so many things to blog about.

I finally managed to find time to watch two DVDs that Direcow lent me. I remember feeling kinda stupid when I didn’t appreciate the ending of Pulp Fiction at first, then upon reading a couple of reviews, realise how the whole theme of the movie just went way over my head. Felt really stupid for a long time later.

The other movie, and this one I enjoyed tremendously, was the Al Pacino vehicle Scarface. I hadn’t realised that while this was hailed as being one of the best crime movies of the past century, that the titular character wasn’t Mafia. It was kinda interesting to see organised crime from a non-Italian, non-Japanese, non-Chinese point of view. Having not seen the Godfather, I hereby claim this as the best movie for men. It’s a classic in every way.

Wednesday was the third time the 15th CSA Ex-Co met up and as much as I didn’t want to compare, it was rather disappointing to see that we weren’t as close-knit as the 13th. I’m sure the 15th had good reasons, but the 13th struck me as being able to form bonds among ourselves instantly, which kinda “spoilt the market” for future Ex-Cos. I had suggested that the 15th meet up for lunch before our meeting, but only five showed up. Of course, I am to blame for coming late as well… but I just felt the difference acutely that we weren’t meeting as a big group outside of our scheduled meetings. It was an experience that repeated itself on Friday, when we attended the Commissioning Mass of the 57th NUS CSS Ex-Co. Two years ago, the 13th showed up in full force, and two years later, there were only four members of the 15th.

But nostalgic ranting aside, I am very proud of the 15th for having so much initiative. Each and every one of them is truly a leader in their own right and both I and my Vice-President have often felt redundant because they’re just so efficient. I have no doubt that the bonds will form over time and that the 13th was unique, the proverbial “exception to the rule” in this aspect.

This afternoon, the Confirmation 2 catechism group visited St Theresa’s Home in Upper Thomson for the sixth and last time. And God has truly blessed our time there. The teens had loads of fun putting up a performance for the old folks and even though they (the senior citizens) didn’t seem to be able to show their appreciation, there was no doubt that many of them enjoyed themselves.

Okay, I can’t stand it any longer.

I am in love, with someone who loves me. And tonight, I’ve decided that it’s for real. After more than a decade, I’m finally attached, though in a way I personally never considered.

She’s the most perfect person I’ve ever met, and we click in a way I’ve never experienced with anyone else. There’s not a moment that goes by where I don’t think of her, and I’m glad it’s reciprocated.

I’d create a whole new category for her… but I don’t think words do her justice.

What a way to bring my 22nd year of life to a close.

Tanjoubi Omedetou to me!
