More of my favourite things and deepest thoughts

Its indeed hard to imagine how two masses can actually exert a force on each other. When you try to think about it...it's just beyond human comprehension. I was just day-dreaming during the last Physics lesson of the term, picturing a near-sphere, so massive that it pulls all the sleepy heads in class onto the desk and makes it tough for me to do pull-ups. Right...I know I'm sounding stupid but its really hard to describe the fascination and amusement you get if you just detach yourself from everything for one minute, and picture everything just getting sucked to the surface of Earth. Hmm...JC science seems to get better and more interesting by the minute that it almost makes me a happier person studying it. Well, looks like I'm a good mix of Arts and Science myself.

Well, thankfully the cloudy skies hid itself for once on our last astro meeting for the term - what a way to kickoff the hols. Yeah...The hands-on session was fun, though it wasn't really hands-on, but rather a "finger on the sky" exercise. Oh but what the heck, I'm not a hands person anyway. Well, its thrilling and satisfying I can say, to be able to look at the skies and know what are you looking at and where you are looking at, not to mention the ability to share the joy with what little I know. Of course, astro's more than just stargazing. ( That I can assure you) Well, lets hope there's more exciting stuff in store for us for the next semester. Here's a quote from my buddy in astro:
"I've never regretted joining astro."

Since quite young, one of my lifelong ambitions is to have a family, lead a simple life and be happy. I'm going to be seventeen soon. Whenever the day of my marriage is, every passing day is a day closer to that date and every passing year is a year closer. Lets not try to press the calculator and predict that date but all I'm saying is that its getting closer and closer.

Perhaps my ambition has moulded me to take this stand, but I say this to all my friends, that there is a time for everything.

There is a time to enjoy your days of youth.
There is a time to study and enjoy studying.
There is a time to build friendships.
There is a time to marry.

Do the right things at the right time and don't jumble them up. I know many who try to reverse the order and start relationships to "fill up their lives". Is it so? There is a time for everything. Really. When it comes to relationships, I am more eager than many of you, terribly more a few years back. But I found that studying and engaging in other meaningful activities can be equally fulfilling as well. If you try to take on two at the same time, you'll enjoy none of them. If you gobble up two mouth-watering dishes at the same time, you'll get to savour none. I don't know why, but I've drifted apart from many of my friends who are involved in relationships. Right now, friendship should be the BEST bond around, and I really hope no more of my friends will dethrone it with other things.

But as I always say, I'm not here to force anyone to take on my beliefs. The life is yours and you have the power of decision. As for me, I have decided to pledge my loyalty to my wife, though I do not know who she may be.
