Pick a flower, pull its petals...

Friends are a funny business. Sometimes when u miss them & am in dire need of company for some good irish beer, they are all just oh-so-tied-up with their own stuff & u'd feel so TOTALLY alone... yet the very next min when u've found things to occupy ur listless wandering mind & am happily minding ur own business, all the sms-es come in & ask u out for kopi & teh & durian & bak kut teh.. This must be some kind of joke.

Pick a flower, pull off its petals. Miss me... miss me not... Love me... love me not. HeCK.

The weather's just changed. From red hot chilli pepper humid with nary a cloud in sight to big black ugly cloud lumps with still nary a breeze to ruffle those sweat-wet hairs on arm... Darn weather.

TIEN, I totally agree with you about your sentiments. Sometimes you will just feel so overwhelmed with friends when they come knocking on your door, then you just want to be left alone. Other times, when you feel so lonely, none seemed to be around just to even chat with you over the fone, let alone meet up.

It get's worse if your loved ones is doing this to you. Even when people are attached, our priorities should be right, but given the fact that most of us "sell" our lives to our work, career blah blah, you can't we just pasue for a moment and let go of work to meet up with some old friends or dear ones. Work is never ending, and will always be around. But friends are hard to come by and if efforts are not made to keep up with one another, they may be gone for good. But sad to say, I am in such a situation too, when I am guilty of sacrificing my time with friends for work, and am a victim of those who choose work over me.

No matter what, like what you have told me before, the sun will still shine, the birds will still chirp and the stars will still blink, there is always HOPE! I don't believe in hopelessness, even the worst scenario, there is always some way out, it really depends on how you perceive and convince your mind to accept certain realities. YES, it's hard to come to terms sometimes, but happiness is all in the mind. We CHOOSE to be happy or sad. It's easier to choose saddness than happiness, just like it's easier to turn bad then be good. I feel it takes lotsa time, love, companionship, encouragements, and patience to understand oneself, but ultimately, tien, I am sure you will pull through this difficult time. You know we are all here for you, especially your closer friends... Have FAITH in us!
