I feel almost apologetic to say... but I had a great night yesterday. It had been quite some time since I enjoyed a night with nary a hint of negative thought, and yesterday was a nicely-balanced night where all things fit in mysteriously well, and I got all that I wanted, without a sweat, and without a plan.
Earlier in the evening, me and several not-my-usual-clique-but-still-friendly-and-older colleagues spontaneously pigged out at Swensens, leisurely polishing away a buffet of deliciously creamy & generously topped ice-cream... Then I explored a vibrant and innovative work-related exhibition in town, and got myself pretty inspired... Next came an unhurried 1.5hr browse-try-buy workout as I indulged in some retail therapy, gleefully leaving with some desirable buys... After that, a late dinner-supper with dad at a cosy Viet restaurant at the new Marina Square shopping mall, followed by a leisurely stroll by the Esplanade, with the night lights and river breeze, and ice-lollies in our hands... I couldn't have asked for more.
Dad is a homebody and no night owl, but yesterday, I could see he enjoyed his late night outing. Yesterday had been great. And as a reward, tonight I shall bring him and my aunts out for a reunion with the Prickly King.
Hope you'd have a good night too.

Dear sunnytears,
I have been reading your blog but never responded. Not because I do not care, but because I have seen so much support and wise words from others to you on the blog, friends or strangers. I don't think I can say much more but now I think I just can't keep silent anymore. I'm not going to say nice and comforting words to you, I'm sorry to say that, for I am not an angel.
STOP thinking that you are the only one feeling all the misery and isolation in life! No one is alone on this earth. I've seen how you describe how others reach out to you through your blog and you do have your own circle of buddies.
What are you expecting from people actually? I really don't know. How long do you still expect them to shower all their attention on you?
We are all have our deeper innerselves, our deepest hurt. Do we need to show others so that we can in return get the comfort and reassurance from them? Stop thinking that nobody knows your hurt just because they don't talk about it to you. I believe it's always a 2-way communication. Do you know about other people's hurt? Do you know about their innermost feelings? How do you know that while they are laughing together in a group, a dark corner of their heart is not weeping? How do you know that while you have lost a dear one, another friend of yours have not lost anything?
Please, leave the hurt behind. You are lucky you still have those good memories and good friends. Pick yourself up. Do yourself good, do others good.
When you open your heart,you will find others who open theirs to you too.
Remember, time WILL heal all wounds.
