e One..jobless again..

Time's up..
Today marks the end of my 2 months of work at...
And I'm back to square one...jobless again...
And I know I will get scoldings from some people..because I was not eager to find a new job the past 2 weeks...
Time to tidy up my resume..and sent to whoever, whatever, whichever, wherever..interested in hiring this 'cute' little chap..

My immediate boss, and an other colleague decided to give me a farewell lunch at Pastamania..Appreciate it..This is my second lunch with her..Well, when she's really not that stressed at work, she's a defenceless lady to me..

The feeling of leaving this workplace is not the same as the previous one...less saddening..
Just like I told one of my friends, Samuel..
Perhaps..it's because I worked only for 2 months..
Perhaps..it's because of their seniority and positions (directors) held..therefore I'm not that close to my colleagues..

Enough said..I learnt alot..and become wiser...

Time to move my butts..

e One with wedding bells ringing again

One secondary close girl-friend is getting married...

She will be going for ROM this friday..

And she sms-ed me on TUESDAY!!! (Duhz!)

Luckily..I no need to work on friday..(phew!)

I'm glad she has found her happiness..

"Unreciprocated love is not always the most painful...

but an unanswered one that keeps you suspending in mid-air is..."

Envy the office next door...they got pretty christmas tree...hehe






A closer look at some X'mas decorations...


The overview..

e One who has lost a precious item..

an amulet..
the persona has been carrying with him..
never had it leave an inch away from him for 5 years..

through the army daze period..
it accompanied him during the darkest moments..

when the night falls..
when the persona is all alone..
when the place is just next to Choa Chu Kang Cemetery..

when bad things are about to happen..
when things don't go the way he expected..
when the persona feels uneasy..

the amulet..
a source of his spritual belief..

to say his prayers to..
to depend his luck on..when everything goes against him..
to tell himself not to give up on anything..
a friend, a companion, a family to him..

the amulet..
now that you are gone..

perhaps it's fate..
perhaps you tried to protect me from some harmful things..
spirits, accidents, fatality..

now the persona feels vulnerable..
now the persona feels a sudden lost of his spiritual belief..
now the persona feels nothing can replace you..

the amulet..
where are you??

will you be in his heart..in his mind..stay with his faith..?

Lost my amulet during my trip to East Coast Park..or on a cab..or at friend's house or friend's car..I really don't know. Don't ask me to get it from temples or anywhere else...coz' it's given by a Thai Master once a year during Vesak Day..I'll have to wait for one year then..Sighz. Guess I'll have to depend on myself for the next one year..Bless me!

Edited: Some friends tried to console me...Thanks alot! But I still can't help blaming myself for the carelessness..

e Story of a Rib.. Version 2

To the gals out there, "Are you willing to be the rib to protect him?.."

When God created the heavens and the earth, He spoke them into being.
When He created man,
He formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But woman,
God fashioned after He breathed the breath of life into man,
because her nostrils are too delicate.

God allowed a deep sleep to come over him
so He could patiently and perfectly fashion her.
Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.
From one bone, God fashioned her.
He chose the bone that protects man's life.
He chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him,
as woman are meant to do.

Around this one bone, God shaped her....He modeled her.
God created her perfectly and beautifully.
Her characteristics are as the rib,
strong yet delicate and fragile.
She provides protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart.
His heart is the center of his being;
his lungs hold the breath of life.
The ribcage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart.
Support man as the rib cage supports the body.

She was not taken from his feet, to be under him,
nor was she taken from his head, to be above him.
She was taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

She is God's perfect angel.....She is God's beautiful little girl.
She has grown to be a splendid woman of excellence,
and God's eyes fill when He sees the virtues in herr heart.
Her eyes...don't change them.
Her lips, how lovely when they part in prayer.
Her nose, so perfect in form.
Her hands so gentle to touch.
God caressed her face in her deepest sleep.
God held her heart close to His.
Of all that lives and breathes, She is most like Him.

Adam walked with God in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely.
He could not See Him or touch Him.
He could only feel Him.
So everything God wanted Adam to share and experience with Him, He fashioned in her;
His Holiness, His Strength, His Purity, His Love, His Protection and Support.

She is special because she is an extension of Him.
Man represents His image, woman His emotions.
Together, she represent the totality of God.

So man......treat woman well.
Love her, respect her, for she is fragile.
In hurting her, you hurt Him.
In crushing her, you only damage your own heart;
the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man.
In humility, show him the power of emotion God has given you.
In gentle quietness, show her strength.
In love, show him that she is the rib that protects his inner self.

e Story of a Rib.. Version 1

To the guys out there.."ask yourself? have you found the missing rib?..."

A girl in love asked her boyfriend...
Girl: Tell me, who do you love most in this world?
Boy: You, of course!
Girl: In your heart, what am I to you?
The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and said," You are my rib.."

In the Bible, it was said that God saw that Adam was lonely,
during his sleep;
God took one of Adam's rib and created Eve.
Every man has been searching for his missing rib,
only when you find the woman of your life;
you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your heart.

After their wedding,
the couple had a sweet and happy life for long while...
However, the youthful couple, due to busy schedule of modern life,
the never ending worries of daily problems,
began to drift apart and their life became mundane...

All the challenges
posed by the harsh realities of life
began to gnaw away their dreams and love for each other...
The couple began to have more quarrels and each quarrel became more heated...

One day, after the quarrel,
the girl ran out of the house...
At the opposite side of the road,
she shouted, 'You don't love me!'
The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse,retorted, "Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together!You were never my missing rib!"

Suddenly,she turned quiet and stood there for a long while...
He regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water,
you can never take it back...

With tears, she went home to pack her things and was determined in breaking-up.
Before she left the house, she turned over & looked at him..
the hurt in her eyes..was so intense..
"If I'm really not your missing rib,please let me go..."she continued,
"It is less painful this way...let us go on our separate ways and search for our own partners..."

Five years have since gone by...
He had never remarried but he had tried to find out about her life..indirectly....
She had left the country and back...
She had remarried a foreigner...and divorced...
He felt anguished that she never waited for him....

In one dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the lingering ache in his heart....
He couldn't bring himself to admit that he was..missing her...
One day, they finally met...
at the airport, a place where there were many reunions and good-byes...
He was going away on a business trip.
She was standing there alone,with just the security door separating them....

She smiled at him gently....
Boy: How are you?
Girl: I'm fine. How about you...Have you found your missing rib?
Boy: No.
Girl: I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
Boy: I'll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back.You know my number....nothing has changed.

With a smile, she turned around and waved good-bye...
Good-bye...
is it forever not meeting each other again?
One week later, he heard of her death...
She has perished in New York...
in the event that shocked the world.....

Midnight...
Once again,he lit his cigarette....
And like before,he felt the lingering ache in his heart...
He finally knew,
she was his missing rib that he had carelessly broken...

- SCENE 129 -

13 November 2000, Monday

6.30pm:
A had just completed the last check on the last lot of products before ending work..
Quickly, took off the laboratory jacket..pack the stuffs into the bag..
"Bye~Guys..See you tomorrow!"..as A bid farewells to colleagues
Rush off to punch the card..Almost fell down due to slippery floor..
A was thinking.."Oh..Shit..i'm getting late..Hope B ain't waiting too long for me over there.."

6.40pm:
Bus 8 was approaching..
A quickly ran across the road to get on the bus..
"Phew..lucky!! Managed to board the bus..otherwise will be terribly late if i've to wait for the next bus"
Sitting at the back seat of the bus...A took some tissue paper to wipe off the sweat beads on the head..

7.10pm:
The bus reached the destination..
A alighted..and took fast paces to meet B at the club room..
B was there, waiting patiently..greeted A with a warm smile..
"hey you are late wor.." B says cheeky..giving a tight pat on A's shoulder..
"quick go and get change.." B said..
"okie! give me 2 minutes!" (hehehe) and A spun off to the toilet..to get changed

7.25pm:
A and B chatted about their day's activities...
while walking their way towards the running route..
it was their weekly routine to go jogging on a monday and thursday evening..
They jogged a distance of 4.5km around the reservoir..for around half an hour..

8.00pm:
"are you tired? today you seems to be not in form leh"
"of cos tired lah..had a busy work day..you know? not like you..only need to study and study..so 'sing lang'" (Hahaha)
They sat down on the bench...admiring the still, calm water..
the sun had already set...
leaving only the diamond-like stars to lighten the darkness sky..accompanied by a silvery bright moon..
the breezy wind gently caress their faces, relieving them off the warm, tickling sweats..

8.10pm:
"it's getting late..let's walk back, okie?"
"yeah..sure! i'm hungry after the run..wanna grab something good but not fattening" (hehe)
Both walked slowly...admiring the peaceful scenary of the trees around them..listening to the shuttling of the leaves as the wind blows..

8.20pm:
at the room, A sat down on the chair, took a magzine to read..
flipping the pages, a feature story caught A's attention..
A was so engrossed with it..reading it with enthusiasm..
(at the same time) B sneaked up behind A (keeping silent), trying to catch what A's is reading..
A didn't notice that sneaky fellow..
but felt that 'something' was behind or beside..
could feel breathing sound on the left..
"couldn't it be a ghost right??" A was thinking and feeling curious..
A made a 90 degree turn to the left to take a look..

8.26pm:
SURPRISE or HORROR?!
"what happened?? what happened??"
A's lips actually touched that of B's!!!
what seems like only one or two seconds...
turned out to be like forever...
the time had stopped for them..
the clock had stopped ticking..
A regained consciousness..and backed off..
(at the same time) B still remained in a daze..with the eyes looking shocked..

Feeling shy and embarrassed..A didn't talk..
"why am i feeling abit warm??the aircon is not working?"
"is my face turning red and hot??"
"gosh! my heart is running like a mad bull.."

there was some sort of awkward between them...

suddenly, B broke the silence in the room..
"erm..let's go and get changed..remembered we still need to eat dinner wor.." (laughing hysterically)
A looked at B blankly..
"okie.."

8.28pm:
They left the room..
Got changed..
Throughout the walk to the bus-stop..
they didn't mention anything about the 'matter'..
not much conversations were exchanged between them during the dinner..

10.34pm:
A and B chatted online..
They always had plenty of stuffs to share about in life..
nothing was mentioned about the 'matter'..
they had purposely avoided it..

12.56am:
A gave B a call..
Finally, the 'matter' was raised..
"erm..just now earlier..sorry leh..i didn't mean to erm..kiss you..it was accidental.." (haha)
"hmm..you know something?"
"yesh? what is it?"
"i like you.."
A was stunned for a moment..
"really?"
"yesh..for quite some time le..but i never had the courage to tell you my feelings..because i feared rejections..and losing you as a friend.."
"hmm..well, to be honest with you..i like you too..and it was for quite some time too.."
"what do you like me about?"
"there's nothing i don't like you about..i enjoyed ur companionship."

their conversations continued throughout the night..happily chatting..
love is in the air..transmitting their sweetness for each other..

3.23am:
it's time to say good night..
"good nite, sweet, sleep tight"
"good nite too, baby, sweet dreams"
512 1314 3344..

-End of Scene 129-

the above scene is purely 'coincidental'..

well, you might find it similar to any love dramas or novels..

the surprising and romantic kiss, everyone dreamt of..

the shyness and embarrassement, that both will feel..

the confession of love to each other, at the end of the day..

it may happen to you in real life one day..

you'll never know it...

e One reading daily horoscope forecasts

Read it from www.yahoo.com : Gemini - 12/11/2006 - You'll have some very intellectual conversations today. Just be true to yourself.

indeed..i had a few conversations the whole day...but most of the time..i'm listening..cos' i only had 3 hours sleep since yesterday night...wake up at 9.30am. feeling like a zombie without a mind..

e One Because of you..

Because of you

I will not make the same mistakes that you did

I will not let myself

Cause my heart so much misery

I will not break the way you did,

You fell so hard

I've learned the hard way

To never let it get that far

Because of you

I never stray to far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

I lose my way

And it's not too long before you point it out

I cannot cry

Because I know that's weakness in your eyes

I'm forced to fake

A smile, a laugh everyday of my life

My heart can't possibly break

When it wasn't even whole to start with

Because of you

I never strayed too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me

Because of you

I am afraid

I watched you die

I heard you cry every night in your sleep

I was so young

You should have known better than to lean on me

You never thought of anyone else

You just saw your pain

And now I cry in the middle of the night

For the same damn thing

Because of you

I never stray too far from the sidewalk

Because of you

I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt

Because of you

I try my hardest just to forget everything

Because of you

I don't know how to let anyone else in

Because of you

I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty

Because of you

I am afraid

Because of you..

Because of you..

e One with Gemini personality..

while i'm feeling down this moment...

i'm feeling happy for my girl friend...

pearlyn, i know you'll be reading this...

alvin, i know you'll be reading too...

just wanna say.."Congratulations!"

finally, the proposal is read to you...

5 years...and still long way for both for you to walk together...

hope to hear more good news coming from you two...

pea couples??when will it be your turn?

e One feeling terribly lousy..

a small glass of alcoholic drink can never make a person drunk...unless the persona is feeling terribly upset inside..

things were okie in the beginning...until something caught the persona's attention...

if it happens just once..it can jolly be a folly mistake which the persona can close one eye..what if it happens twice..or perhaps that are 'more' which happens when the persona is not around?

its too much for the persona to take..left the place...feeling lost again...

the vivid scenes are still keep replaying in the mind..everything is real..those few seconds of tearings in the heart..

only one person understand the persona's feelings..."chances are to be earned, not given"

well, enough said.."What's the big deal, anyway??!", "Why are you so angry?", "Are you an important person??!", "Do you still can place trust on them?"...Lots of questions striked hard on the persona's mind...but with no answers...

The only answers are with...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reached home to find the persona vomitting its dinner out..pathetic life..hahaa..one glass..that's all it can do to you. Have a good night sleep then.

e One on 37th Floor Office

Feeling abit bored...so decided to upload some pictures taken outside my office today..

The skyscrapers in Singapore...

Another view of the city..

Top view of the Fountain of Wealth..Erm..No water yet..

The Korean Drum..

e One with the Prestige

Have to thank my friend for letting me have the tickets to watch 'The Prestige'. Decided to find another friend to accompany me to watch it today at Vivo City.

Front row seat...argh..

The movie was great! Gave it a rating of 3.8 out of 5. The plot was initially very hard to catch up with..but towards the end..when the truth is out...you'll be able to piece every jigsaw together to form a clear picture. After the movie, we were discussing the details and felt that it was indeed a great movie except for some minor flaws..

Two magicians were out to battle their wits on the stage with performances, and to the extend of destroying each other. Entangled in the webs of deceit and exposure, secrets and revelations, all this happenings started with the death of an important person in their lives. Things took a sudden change, terrible consequences occurred. Full of twists and turns!!

After movie, we went to nearby hawker centre to have late dinner..And i have to condemn a particular drink stall!I saw the ABNN, pour some coffee powder in the metal mug on the stool..some powder was spilled over the stool..he collected it back and pour back into the metal mug. Yucks so unhygienic..

e One feeling lousy again..

damn it..
did a search on the web earlier for the Leftfoot shop that sell my pair of shoes..
gosh..they only have two outlets..Far East and Cineleisure.
That means my wish of buying that shoes is trashed!!
or any other places that sell it?

still thinking if i should buy from online..but somehow i don't trust doing online transactions...
That's my fear...

however..if given a choice...to buy it online..which colour should i choose?
brown with blue strip?
or white with green strip?

e One with 'Serve me right!!'

i knew i made an unforgivable mistake

nobody to blame, but myself.

i knew the consequences of it

but i didn't make an effort to stop it from happening.

i knew the day will come

whether it is sooner or later.

i knew you'll be gone

disappearing from my msn and my mobile phone.

i knew it's my karma

so serve me right!

i know i lost

a very good friend.

e One with disappointment

Just thought that today, I can finally lay my hands on one of the items in my wishlist - the pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes (the blue/grey version)...

Disappointment sinks in...Went to Far East..Wheelock Place..CineLeisure..SOLD OUT! except Wheelock Place...Last piece..with a minor defect. They now got a new colour..dark brown/light brown..it doesn't look nice to me..Sigh..

My friend then told me that, "Opportunity only knocks once, must grab the chance when it comes.." i mean i do understand this statement, but never know that it will happen to me one day..Last time..i used to see and wait..never take action to buy it when they have ample stocks...now it's gone..i regretted my decision..

p/s: especially when you like someone...grab the chance before he/she is gone...

e One with his blog...

Yeppie!!!

My blog got some new furnishments..

1. Right now..you are listening to the song i've recommended days back - Beautiful.
2. Change my profile's picture..some people have been asking why i put the picture of a pair of shoes..so it's time to put down..cos' i'll be wearing it soon..

31 October, the Official Opening of GES2006..

Reached the exhibition booth at 8.00am..
Horrified..some of the items are still in not place...
no wireless internet...
no logos and signages for one of my KVs...
Bugged Christine again...

Helped them to solve their problems and set ups...
The girls were dressed in 'hanbok'
Arranged meetings for them...
Helpers distributed flyers...
Waited for the Minister to walk to our booth...
#$&^&!%....Damn it.
He stopped outside another booth, and skipped OURS!

6.00pm - Bring them to Gala Dinner

7.00pm - Back at office to do some reports..

Left for home at 11.00pm..

1 November.

Everything was fine and in good order...went on smoothly..
I guess its all due to the good lucks that I had gathered from my friends..

Arranged a group photo-taking session for them...
So hard to coordinate when some companies are having meetings...
no choice..but to interrupt them..

7.00pm - Bring them to Raffles Town Club for 'Thank You Dinner'
Atmosphere was so relaxed..
Sitted with the korean interpretors..
Chatted with them, sort of cultural exchange..
Chatted with Akira, know more about the thais..
Dinner was served..Had red wine...

2 November.

10.00am..no people at my booth...
Called them on mobile phone...
So scare that they had a 'party' last night...

e One with the aftermath of GES2006 (2)

30 October was preparation day...the eve of the Event!

Early morning, the KVs dropped by to our office for a briefing session..
Was introduced to them for the first time..
Can't remember their faces..so much confusions..

The exhibition booth was not ready yet..
Furniture had not move in...
Logos and Signages not done...
AV Equipment had not arrived...
Many things were not in place...
Chased Christine for all stuffs...

Within an one hour time..
Collected thousands of brouchures..
Received the shipment of one KV's equipment from Korea..
Trying to unload some stuffs from office to exhibition booth..
That's multi-tasking..

4.00pm - Bring KVs to Forum.
6.00pm - Bring KVs to Opening Ceremony.

Not to forget..constant nagging from 'Terrorist'

Left for home at around 12am..

e One with the aftermath of GES2006 (1)

Global Entrepolis @ Singapore 2006, held from 30 October - 2 November has officially come to an end.

Those 4 days..have been exceptionally tiring to both my mental and physical being..Running the whole event by myself, with little help from my supervisor was not easy. She basically threw everything to me!!! And her constant naggings keep going on and expect me to do it all by myself. I'm not NeZha..No 3 heads or 6 hands. One moment asking for this and that, when i'm running around like an amok.

As if the event is just enough to drown me, i'm being bothered by something else..i feel so suffocated, hardly able to breathe. I wish I could have just collapse on the spot and black out.

I really appreciate the helps from some of my colleagues. (though they can't read my blog) I'd like to extend my gratitude to them, namely:

1. Ms Lina Kim (my office manager..the kind, gentle lady who always been there to help me when i can't split myself.)
2. Mr J.H Kim (my admin director..the caring person who always ask me to rest and do things slowly, remember to eat lunch/dinner. "you are one strong guy")
3. Ms Christine Chan (my contractor..the poor little and understanding girl, who has been drowned by my requests for items during those four days, when she herself is busy with other exhibitions too. i almost saw her breakdown. Thank gods..she is a tough girl!!)
4. Ms Aihua (my helper..the girl who is so responsible to her work. if anyone needs helper for distributing flyers, FIND HER!! i'm so amazed at the speed she can distribute my thousand of flyers. Though she grumbled abit, but she still take her work seriously)
5. Ms Felicia and Ms Kim (my helper and interpretator..the two girls wearing the three-layered korean costumes or 'hanbok'. Beauty and Elegance to describe them. Adding attractions to our exhibition booths. God knows how many people want to take pictures with them. Take note: we are the only korean exhibitors around. There are also some dressed in Vietnamese costumes too.)
6. Mr Jonas and Ms Jessica (two other interpretors..helping me out in the admin work. Jonas is one good-looking korean guy...girls will definitely swoon after him..haha)
7. Ms Suzy (the one that terrorise me..if not for her..i wouldn't have learn so much and gain this precious experiences.)

Of course not to forget my Korean Vendors..They are the one who makes this event a success! Without their kind co-operation and understanding, I wouldn't be able to put every little bits and pieces to form a picture of beautiful memories for them.

1. GTT - Mr Kim and Mr Akira (the two friendly and approachable man. i was included in the names of people they want to thank, in the feedback form.)
2. onTimetek - Mr Yu and Ms Kim (they always feel embarrased to ask me for help. another group of people who want to thank me, in the feedback form. Last day of event, they treated me to eat korean foods.)
3. Lecast - Mr Chang (sooooo friendly..always give me a pat on my shoulder when i'm look stressed up.)
4. Programbank - Ms Jin (the lady who give my a motherly feeling..chatted alot with her. Tried to help her with any possible way i can, since she came to S'pore alone.)
5. e-plus - Mr Andy (the one who always talk funny stuffs..haha)
6. thinkfree - Mr Victor (likes to joke alot...can fight with Mr Andy)
7. ahnlab - Mr Phoon (the one i ought to owe an apology..made him so angry on the first day, and i received complaints from Suzy. He's a nice and forgiving guy..At the thank you dinner..he asked me to take good care of myself..)

Like i told some of my friends...i don't like the planning of events...the documentations are tedious...the coordinatings are even hell to me. But i like the executing the events, it suddenly brings out the leadership quality in me, providing the best customer services to my korean vendors...keeping myself busy with all kind of stuffs...weird huh??! afterall, it gives me a sense of achievement and satisfaction.

e One with Chemistry

Chemistry Lesson 1

Elements

substances that react differently when combined..

Reactions

the mysterious and complex process of changes..

every element is an individual and unique characteristics..

Combining two elements together..

reaction can sparks off within seconds..

or perhaps works like a 286 Processor..

or simply nothing will happen..

Combining two or more elements together..

Form molecules of convalent bond or ionic bond..

tough as it might seems..

but they are also easily breakable too..

Students: Every lesson has a hidden agenda. Please enquiry if you are in doubt. Leave a message here, if i'm not contactable.

e One with Mathematics

Mathematics Lesson 1

NUMBERS

the basic of mathematics..

FORMULAS

the rules, the methods, to achieve your desired results..

EQUATIONS

the answers to every questions..

Combining all three..

you tried to solve a question..

either you get a correct answer..

or a wrong answer..

or even an infinity answer..

What could be worst?

you give up half-way without making an effort to solve..

e One with Square One

Like the 'Never-Ending Song'...

there's no beginning to begin with...

there's no ending to end with...

it goes on and on and on...

Like a circle...

where's the starting point?

where's the ending point?

it just goes round and round and round...

Eventually..you are back to 'Square One'..

But how will you define 'Square One'..

When you don't know where is the beginning..

When you don't know where is the starting point..

So have you moved forward??

Or perhaps, you have never moved one single step??

e One with a 'multi-racial' look

Amazingly...i got a few queries of my race/nationality during these few days of work...

i don't look Chinese or Singaporean..???hahhaa

some thought that i'm a korean....

some thought that i'm a malay....

some thought that i'm a hongkie....

one said that that i look like indonesian chinese....

luckily no one said that i'm an indian... =_-!

who am i? anyone else got other opinions?

e One with 10 more hours left

10 hours left...

dun be mistaken..it doesn't mean my life span.
it's the countdown to the end of my event, which started from 30 Oct till 2 Nov.
Feel so great...gonna be relieved of all the sufferings this event caused upon me!
hopefully today..i wldn't screw up anything..keep it the way it has been the past 3 days..and i'll be glad.

Just feel like thanking those friends who sms/msn me..wishing me good lucks, giving me supports. (nah..i'm not giving speeches) I'll survive!!

Updates of the event will be done in the next entry..when i reached home tonight~

e One with thoughts

Some thoughts just flow into my mind..

i wonder when i sms people...they ignore them..never reply back..Do i get angry? i have these bunch of friends who shared the above flaw...and i'm used to their actions. But what if one day, i start ignoring their smses (most probably not..unless i didn't receive it or too busy after reading it to make a repl)? are they going to start kicking a fuss out of it?

left eye has been twitching for the past few days..since friday..it's not just one or two times..a day..but it's like every few minutes..and so obvious that my colleague noticed it too. Friends told me that it is due to stress. I guess too...stress coming from all areas..from friends, from work..i can't cope..Perhaps if you are the more superstition, twitching does mean some good or bad omens..And i believe i'm experiencing some bad ones..all in the name of KARMA.

i just want to have friends around me for the time being. nothing more..nothing less. i don't want to lose any one of them. but if one day..they decided to leave me...i hope tears of mine will make them change their minds. i hope..only.
