Snakes and Doves

We need to be as shrew as snakes and as innocent as doves.

Am I being that? To survive in a cruel world like this, one should be careful with his trust.
Environments change people, people change people, experiences change people.

Can you still be as innocent as doves?

That Ring

My heart dropped a little when I saw it on you,

immediately I scanned through the hands of your friends.

Alas, there was none.

Do I matter as much as you do to me?

My heart dropped a little when I saw a ring on you.

Just the way you are

Why am I thinking about what songs to sing for my wedding dinner, now when I'm so single?!
Haha.. Anyway, have been thinking about marriage lately. Maybe it is because I just did a wedding photo shoot. Processing and organising so many pictures somehow make you think about your own wedding one day.
How will it be? Who will it be?
 

Facing failure

"Joel Yap is a consistent student..." wrote a lecturer on a piece of paper that I needed for something.
Joel Yap, is he?

A pharmacology test last week had shown me how laid back I was. The results reflected: one right answer away from obtaining a pass which was set at eighty per cent. Relating my score with the attitude and amount of preparation I brought into the examination hall, I might have even received more than I deserved.

I have a handful more of recent episodes of rejection and defeat that I wish I could share.
