Thank God I found "you"

Hah! Remember these? Shots from where we first met to some of the high points of our friendship? This video was a courtesy of Pa, which I found hidden beneath all my files and folders of my previous computer. Still intact though.

It was not that long ago when Pa said this, "When you look back at this video 10 years down the road, you will definitely miss all those times we had together. And there won't be a single dry eye in the house then." Well, Pa, I would like to say that, "I don't think I would be crying then, I would be smiling. As I am now. "

Man, do I miss those days. And it was only 1 or 2 years back. Seems like forever huh? Look how young we were then....hahaha!

Mood revived

Something good happened today. Something that brought my mood back to its usual state. A friend had called for a casual chat. Another friend made plans for a coming outing. Cracked some real stupid jokes with my colleagues. Gossipped with another one of them. Laughter is the best medicine.

I'm not really very hard to satisfy, am I? Little day-to-day happenings can sometimes brightened up my life. I let go off yesterday's dark skies to a shinier one today. I just woke up feeling very much better. Got up early. When to work early. And was more productive and efficient in what ever it is I did.

I guess when you are feeling confident, everything else would be in place. People seem to treat you better. Work seems to be going on more smoothly. And you would smile to every obstacle that comes your way. You tend to be more forgiving too.

People around me does make alot of difference. Familiarity is a very big issue to me. If you know what I mean.

The magic of life. Salute.

Gloomy

The weather has been gloomy this morning. I woke up to a dark sky. The same goes for my mood.

Yea. Something has been bothering me. Or should I say "alot of things". And if you asked me specifically what, I can't answer you. What had triggered it?, someone close asked. I honestly can't tell you either. A little bit of this. A little bit of that. They get all mixed up inside me, transformed into this huge 'virus' and attacked my mind all at once.

Now I'm afraid. Afraid to be me. Afraid to continue this.

It's difficult to explain. I only know at this very moment, I feel like holding someone tight and let it all out.

Now you have it, now you don't

People contradict themselves at times. It happens to everyone at some point in time or the other.

Life can be very routine. You do the same type of work. You meet with the same colleagues. You hang out with the same friends. You buy the same groceries. You attend the same functions. You drive through the same route. You eat the same meals. Day in, day out. And after a while, you'd dread the things that you do everyday. You'd get fed-up. You'd get frustrated. You'd get irritated. You'd start to long for a change. Oh, how nice would it be if you could do other things instead? Your mind plays with all other types of possibililties. And when you can't hold on to it any longer, when you can no longer contain your longing, you'd resort to the change you desired.

You switch jobs. You meet new colleagues. They introduced you to new friends. When your lifestyle changes, so does almost every other thing. You start to buy different groceries. You attend different functions. You drive through a whole different route all together. You tend to try out new dishes. And you are happy with it. There's absolutely nothing wrong. As a young adult, you have no problems in adapting to change. That's what we do anyway. Young people are adventurous. We can't be just sticking to one "life" all the time.

But along the way, as you are enjoying a new you, you suddenly come across your "old" lifestyle out of the blue. A call from a previous colleague. A gathering from an "old" friend. A stop by this cafe that you frequented everyday a few months ago. A diversion back to the route you once used and familiar buildings came into view. You experience a sudden pang of nostalgia and you kinda miss your "old" life once a upon a time ago. Never mind the sour parts, at least the sweet ones did not fail to put a smile onto your face. Some where deep inside your head, you would like to re-live the life you had. The one that you were so comfortable with. The one that kept you safe.

Maybe you can say that life has way of messing up with you. You neglect the things that you are blessed with. And when you lose it, whether by choice or not, you would be dying to get it back. Only that things will never be the same again. Might not hold true for certain people. But I reckon surely everyone feels that way. Cause we share this one thing in common. We are all humans.

A wild bird in an open cage

Yea. That would be me. The wild bird. A friend got me that. Woo...Whooo... I never thought that I was the wild type. Define "wild"? Am I really?

Just because I was home watching some tv on a Saturday night that I got called as a "wild bird which couldn't spread its wings when the cage door was left open". Nice. Firstly, I don't fly. And second, I'm certainly not caged.

A little late night hanging-outs. Some dinners. Some yam chas. Some movies. Some shoppings. Doesn't constitute as wild right? Well, everyone else does that! At least I don't do drugs or go rempit some where out on the freeway. Now that's what I call wild.

So, I am considered "tame" for someone my age. Haha.

A recent conversation.......

A: It's definitely dumb to be a good person, so why bother?
B: Gosh, who mistreated the good person in you?
A: Erm, myself?
B: So are you planning to be cruel now instead?
A: At least I won't feel so foolish then...
B: Sigh! It's this character of yours that makes this world a better place. The world is happier with good people like you around...
A: Gee, I'm going to check the quotes website to see if you got this from there. =)
B: .......


Simple words do bring huge differences. The thing is are you concerned enough to say a few of them? Even if you do not really meant what you've said? Just for the sake of lightening up a friend?
