There are a few kinds of lovers in this world.
The first kind is like Romeo and Juliet, a pair of star-crossed lovers. Both of them love each other so much. They would die for each other. Which was what happened in the end. Both of them died. Of course in between there's lots of complications.The second kind is like 令狐沖 and 任盈盈, lovers that are not fated. (At least, that's how they are as of where I've stopped in the story.) She tries to save him but ends up imprisoned. He wants to save her now but is met with difficulties. There's also a lot of complications.
The third kind is like __ and __. They are not together, but they behave like a couple. They are very low-profile, so few people actually know about it. Yet the feeling is mutual amongst them. (It can be irritating though cos they refuse to admit it.)

Today I went to school. Turns out it was the last day for Sec 1 to 3s. They were having meet-the-parents. No wonder I saw many more cars turning in / out of school. The car park was filled as well with unfamiliar cars.
Once in school I met R and G. It's really nice talking to R cos he's very friendly and unassuming. His humour seems to be very wide-reaching. So regardless whether you're into dirty humour, dark humour or just slapstick, he'll laugh genuinely with you.
That's rare, to me. I can appreciate most forms of humour but certainly not like him. And he really is into the conversation when he's with you. Not that others don't, but some look like they're drifting off.
So the three of us talked for around two hours. At 12 Mr L came over while R and I were having lunch. G was still at the concourse so she messaged me. We took our time, since anyway G would surely ask him questions and he wouldn't leave that soon.
True enough, when we went back G was still asking Mr L stuff. After a while R left for his literature consultation at 1 so G and I took turns asking questions. I actually asked whatever came to my mind, or anything that was unclear when he said it. From there I learnt how to tackle explanation questions. But first I need to brush up on all my concepts.
I rather like Mr L. He is a very friendly teacher. (Okay I need to brush up on my vocabulary as well cos now R and Mr L is 'friendly'. That's the only word I can think of.) Halfway through G fell asleep so Mr L and I discussed whether she was faking it. He told me that if a person's breathing rate is too slow for any awake person to copy, then he / she is sleeping.
G didn't wake up after a while and a phone call. So Mr L took a pen and lifted her finger. I wanted to take a picture of her and
So we went on. When there were no more questions I asked a question about the earth. Mr L said that was related to modern physics and not the classical physics we've been studying. So we talked about that and G asked for examples. Mr L mentioned Schrodinger's Cat and Heisenburg's Uncertainty and other stuff. It was interesting to know but boring to study it, I feel.

After tuition I headed home. Upon exiting Roxy Square a women held the glass door open for me. I said 'thank you' and she was stunned for a while. Hmm maybe no one thanked her in a while.
It was such a blessing to sit in a non-crowded bus. I saw the bus before me that was packed till the door. No joke to be squashed inside such a bus. No wonder everyone's so fed up with Singapore's transport, calling the minister by his nickname.

"Fair is foul, and foul is fair," says the witches in Macbeth.
Shakespeare too states:
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
