I finally got a chance to clear my mails.
I thought this was really a meaningful piece...

Food for thought:
A saint asked his disciples,
'Why do we shout in anger?
Why do people shout at each
other when they are upset?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said,
'Because we lose our calm, we shout.'
'But, why shout when the other person
is just next to you?' asked the saint.
'Isn't it possible to speak to him
or her with a soft voice?
Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave all kinds of answers,
but none satisfied the saint.
Finally he explained,
'When two people are angry at each other,
their hearts distance a lot.
To cover that distance they must shout
to be able to hear each other.
The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to
hear each other through that great distance.'
Then the saint asked,
'What happens when two people fall in love?
They don't shout at each other but talk softly.
Why? Because their hearts are very close.
The distance between them is very small...'
The saint continued,
'When they love each other even more, what happens?
They do not speak, only whisper and they get even closer to
each other in their love.
Finally they even need not whisper, they only
look at each other and that's all.
That is how close two people are when
they love each other.'
MORAL:
When you argue do not let your hearts get distant,
do not say words that distance each other more,
else there will come a day when the distance
is so great that you will not find the path to return.

After reading through the above,
I silently thought to myself,
the number of times I lost my head when I got angry.
The irrational and impulsive me,
that can be very destructive when I get angry.
The things I’ve lost in the name of anger...
When I am calm, I can be a rather rational person.
I tend to be a worrywart and naturally,
this leads to me being super forward-looking.
At the age of 22,
I have already painted a vague picture of
what my life could be like in the next few years.
Like the adage goes,
if you fail to plan, you plan to fail...
I’m just hoping that reality doesn’t fall
too far away from what I’ve constructed...

Finally something caught my fancy at P.d.
By the time the sales assistant managed to source out the item,
we were the only customers left at the shop.
Imagine how long he took to retrieve the item...
Actually a fabric bag caught my fancy as well.
But because it was made of fabric, I gave up the thought.
Largely due to the fact that I can be really careless,
I prefer bags made of hard, calf leather.
I should probably seek some advice on the reliability
of bags made of fabric...
Anyhow whilst waiting for him,
the boy overheard 2 other sales assistants talking among themselves.
Apparently it seems that throughout noon,
there wasn’t a single sale transaction at all.
Not a single transaction on a Saturday noon???
Goodnesss!!! Times are really bad.
I usually shake my head in disapproval
when the term miser comes to mind.
But now, I wish I could be more miser-alike.
I guess being a miser at this junction,
could be rather beneficial.
Ironic but true...
So as of now, I’m gonna keep off those luxury labels.
At least until the boy heads off to the states...

Apart from being gleeful after the purchase at Pd.
As soon as I got home, my spirits dampened.
For some unknown reason, I puked out dinner.
It came out as a torrent of liquid.
The impact of the motion was so strong,
water splashed out from the toilet bowl onto my specs.
Thereafter, I brushed up like 5 times???
Due to some childhood motion sickness related trauma;
I can get rather paranoid whenever I puke.
So first, clean up multiple times, tear, whine
and then start swallowing lots of mint.
I wonder what caused it....

Counting my blessings...
I’m so grateful to have such precious ones around.
Whatever painful, has now tide over.
Now, am just keeping my fingers crossed
that the good times keep rolling...

Exactly a week ago on this day,
my prelims ended.
After that paper, I had the most fabulous time
at lunch with twinnie and xuan.
Been sucha long long while since
I last had so much fun at lunch.
The topics brought up revolved around food.
The fun began, with me kicking up a big fuss
about twinnie not being able to consume quail eggs.
From then on, the subsequent conversation that followed,
kept the 3 of us tickled.
We were practically bursting out in laughter throughout lunch.
Twinnie, I’m missing you aplenty already.
I needa date you out soon! (:

At night, it was zouk loving with the party people.
As usual, getting high is part of the routine
before hitting the dance floor.
Despite the severe lack of sleep, my
fri. the 13th was indeed well-spent.
(only 4 hours of sleep on thurs because my heart,
body mind and soul were already in zouk,
yet I still had to force myself to prep for the paper on fri morn,
and,
not sleeping at all on Friday. )

Saturday...
Sat morning however, wasn’t so good.
The toilet bowl greeted me first thing in the morn
because I puked twice even before I could manage to brush up.
Again, I am reminded that tequila, flaming lambo and ex. tiki
doesn’t go too well together for me.
Anyhow, lunch made up for my “ordeal” in the morn.
Lunch with the lovelies was marvellous,
or should I say sky garden photo-shoots with them were marvellous...
Lunch itself wasn’t as good largely due to the fact that
I was enduring the aftermath of a hang-over.
And thus, I figured stoning was the next best activity to do.
The photo-shoots at the garden were the best for the day.

Kodak moments...

Sky Garden
