Ow, ow, ow...

Shin splits. By definition, "Shin splints are an inflammation of the thin layer of tissue that covers the bone (periosteum). The bone tissue itself is also involved. The muscles that attach to the shinbone through the periosteum are the part of the shin that hurts." Damn, I wanted to run from home to Nativity church, but when I reached Kovan station, my shin split acted up. It felt as if the bone has been broken or something. Without my wallet, I had to walk all the way back to Serangoon (which is like what, 3 km?). Yeah, Ouch! As I walked along, I thought about my life currently, and somehow,this came to me: Life is hard and painful, but when you give up halfway, it will be much harder and more painful as it will be imprinted on your conscience. So yeah, I prayed and thanked God for this piece of wisdom, and I felt that I should do something about my life now, no matter how lazy I am. I should get started on that pile of papers huh?

Anyway, after geography today, I met up with my friend ZY. We were in front of the GO when he saw a friend of his. ZY then told me that guy was one of his "brothers". "Brothers?" I asked. He told me: "I got (have) a lot of brothers. One in rugby, one in class, that's you, ...." Frankly, I was pleasantly suprised! I had thought ZY only treated me as a friend to "gee siao", but as a brother? Wow man, I'm touched, like seriously! Then, I made a resolution to be more "brother" to ZY, cause under his "gee siao" attitude, he really is an unexpectedly wonderful friend. (P.S. I didn't hear the "..." - I was too suprised!) Hmm, seems like there are really great people in my life, and I have to "Jia You" and be a good friend as well, no? =)
