Maybe my name is Sumire

1. Nam's birthday. Since the guy has shamelessly asked me for a gift, which "can be anything, just anything" (his words!), I bought him a wooden pen, the only suitable (and cheap) gift I can find from NUS Coop :|

Well, maybe a little bit too cheap.

I realized (a little bit too late) that it was broken or sth, I cannot use it to write.

I sighed, bought a greeting card, and used my fountain pen to write some words for him.

"Happy birthday to you. All the best.
PS: Sorry. Some pens are not to write"

2. I don't really believe in fate and the like. I don't believe in those sayings "Things happen for a reason". I think it's just a form of consolation for people when sth unwanted happen to them.

But I do think that we can try to make use of not-so-good situations and events. By learning from them, by looking at the positive side. And maybe, that's how we can "connect the dots", looking backward.

For instance, some certain things happening in the past has taught me this: Love, of all things, is never to be taken for granted. I'm grateful for that lesson.

3. Talking about things that I don't believe in, I don't believe in the notion of "The One". I don't think there's only one perfectly right person in this world for each of us. Rather, there are quite a few of people out there who may be just as compatible, or even more compatible with you than me.

I just happen to be the person who turns up at the right place and the right time. And that makes a whole lot of difference.

4. This reminds me of Sumire in Sputnik Sweetheart. After meeting Miu, Sumire was no longer able to write anything.

Somehow sometimes I feel like thoughts escaped me.

yes, THIS reminds me of Sumire.

Excuse my writing please. I'm losing the interest.
