A Surprise

Just managed to talk to one of my close friends via Facebook. I was shocked to realize that he wanted to commit suicide yesterday! If he really had done it, I wouldn't have had a chance to talk to him today. And perhaps never again. I tried to ask him questions to unearth what the motive was. But he was trying to shut me out. Considering the distance between us, I was not surprised. I still assured him I would be there lending an ear should he need someone, though. It was purely familial and personal, according to him. He said it was the toughest and most difficult situation. And I knew it must have been indeed tough and difficult, given the fact that he had always been one of the most determined and perseverant with nerve of steel. Someone I knew would never surrender or give in easily. After talking to him for a while, I guess I could vaguely make out what was behind all the misery. But the last thing I wanted to do was to make wild assumptions. Anyway he claims he is fine now, but I doubt it!

There must be some reasons lying behind it. Well, it's quite a serious matter. Make sure you talk him round. I'm so scared to hear such thing man. Never wanted a history to repeat :(

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.
