A message from me

I was stuck with the whole practicum report thing for one week. And i guess I stretched my disease immunity to the limit by depriving myself off sleep for two consecutive nights for the sake of the report. As a result, whether i want it or not, it is a fact that i have been going down with this bad flu for more than two days now. But of course my emotional being was fine until....

Anyway, there is one very important message i would like to spread around. It is about love again! Well, i admit that love seems to have been the focal point of my attention lately, but that doesn't necessarily mean that i am a love-centred kind of person. It is just that quite recently I have witnessed too many heart-broken souls, most of whom are my good friends. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the message today is:

Never ever get into a relationship with someone just simply because by so doing you think you can get over your ex.

Such an act is not only selfish but also very destructive. I see with my own eyes how a person's life is shattered in the aftermath of the break-up of such a relationship.

I agree with ya. It's really destructive if the act of getting into 'a relationship with someone' is done 'just simply because by so doing you think you can get over your ex.'

Can I ask you a question? Is this post inspired by Ice's entry 'Indefinable Feeling'?

I think so, P.M :) Is that true Ven?

I don't know what people think, but isn't that too selfish dragging the poor innocent party in? It hurts so much to be taken advantage of :( What if you were that one? How would you feel? Head over heels, right? If this kind of heartless ppl does exist, I wish someone else would break their heart the same way, so that they know wat it feels like.

This is not quite different frm marrying someone while you are in love with someone else! Though you don't get hurt today, it doesn't mean that you won't tomorrow.

Oh really, PM? I'm sorry! Just know that I didn't mean it. I am becoming an over dramatic ice princess. I hope I can get better comment which is not too emotional as this one, deal? *Hug*

To All: To be honest, I feel very, very sad this time!!! since first reading the post. I was thinking what msg would he convey haha.. Little did I expect he could come up with the msg of what we were discussing lately! Well, admittedly i'm quite emotional when comes to this kinda topic, guess what? I can't pull myself strong tho sometimes i seem to be strong. I do agree with you all! I still stick to my old perspective which is hurting the third party is such a bad act. I could sense that Barbie feels the same way! :) it's just like we get to love someone just to forget our ex one. I'd never do that until I find myself loving that person from the bottom of my heart. :)

btw, ven, heh heh do take care for urself porng lah! i'm also suffering from this terminal disease of mine - flu! been catching cold for more than one week already! :( hope u get better very soon, dude!!!

To PM: well...sort of!!! But to a great extent, it was inspired by my friend's story...So yeah...i dun wanna see more and more people hurt cos of this:-)

To BarBEE: Yeah...they are selfish, you may say! But then if you look from amore positive point of view, you will be able to see that that one is so broken up inside her his or her ex that she wishes more than anything to find someone better. Can't blame that person entirely, though!!!:-)

To Hour: I know you are wearing mask every day, dude!! Thta's understandable cos you dun wanna m,ake ppl around you sad. I do too!!! Anyway, i agree with you about the notion that we should never get into the relationship again if the bad effects from the breakup do not wear off yet...

To Bro Rex: thanks, bro!! I am doing a lot better now. Thanks again:-)

A stranger within YOU

Has it ever occurred to you that there is actually a stranger lurking somewhere inside you? Maybe it sounds really mental and freaking weird here. But I really can’t help brooding over this. And the more I think of it, the more it becomes crystal clear it is indeed true that a stranger is actually living my life, a stranger who has eaten up half of my real “self”, shrouding me with a totally new cover to form a person I hardly recognize. There are times when I feel really happy, but why in God’s name do I look far from happy? It is at this point that people view me in a rather negative light. Even so, the last thing I ever wish to do is, of course, to blame them. I am more than sure that they will never be able to understand me. And then there are other times when I wish more than anything to become very close to certain people. However, my attitudes towards them betray me. Nothing but coldness always hangs in the air in their presence, much to my perplexity. I remember being approa

HAPPY St. Valentine's Day!

Take a careful look around you! There might be someone in the crowd there that wishes more than anything to be noticed by you, someone that you probably knows very well but has always been taken for granted, someone that has always been standing there in your doorway, someone that has always been ready to wipe your tears, and someone that has probably shed so many tears for you without your knowledge. Such a someone deserves attention too! Happy St. Valentine's Day! Make the best out of today!

The Good Old Time (2003)

I got this pic from Mov's facebook profile. Oh man!!! This pic is almost as old as our friendship. We were small and innocent and pretty carefree back then. If i am not mistaken, the pic was taken during our field trip to the Science Center, and those so many energetic young faces you are staring at were scholars from most of the ASEAN countries. Nostalgic indeed!!! Too bad that we have lost touch for quite some time now, and i have no idea what most of them are up to now. Loads of thanks to Mov, without whom i would not have had a chance to get hold of this priceless pic. At least in those many years ahead, i have got a pic of everyone smiling at hand, to which i can always refer for recalling sake.
