Friday, Sept 21

Last Friday was one of those milestone juncture.
It's been a few years getting to this day.

I had my whole day planned (or so I'd like to think)
Good thing I took the day off from work.

What gives... the beginning of second chances, new experiences, knowledge and constant changes.

I would say the day started off quite well, though I was a little blur when I was trying to figure out where I was supposed to be, then there was the guard that took my camera - he was smelling like a very wet sock. This early in the morning?? I could have hurled.

The morning was over in a matter of minutes.

Met up with a close friend - someone who's not afraid to tell me I'm an idiot for something I did not put much thought into, but put into action anyway. She did not specifically say those words cause she just had an operation to remove her tooth, but it was written on paper for prosperity nonetheless. Looking at the piece of paper she scribbled on, with the words "You r an idiot" I could tell that she's been talking ...

I should put some thought into getting some passive income already.

At 2pm I was at a lawyer's office that told me I should spend my money elsewhere, by 4pm I've got myself another lawyer.

10.30pm Ms KK was passing my mobile number to someone in Bellini.

3am I head home with enough vodka to last me the whole Saturday.

Now, I have to run and buy moon cakes for my Halal colleagues for tomorrow's party at the office.

Love

Have you ever been in love?

Horrible isn't it?
It makes you so vulnerable.
It opens your chest and it opens up your heart
and it means that someone can get inside you
and mess you up.

You build up all these defenses,
you build up a whole suit of armor,
so that nothing can hurt you,
then one stupid person,
no different from any other stupid person,
wanders into your stupid life...

You give them a piece of you.

They didn't ask for it.
They did something dumb one day,
like smile at you,
and then your life isn't your own anymore.

Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you.
It eats you out
and leaves you crying in the darkness,
so simple a phrase like
'maybe we should be just friends'
turns into a glass splinter
working its way into your heart.
It hurts.

Not just in the imagination.
Not just in the mind.
It's a soul-hurt,
a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.

- Neil Gaiman

Your Score: colon
You scored 38% Sociability and 35% Sophistication!

It doesn't bother you when people make anatomical jokes about you, because you're laughing right along with them. True, you cannot be called gregarious, but within your domain you're secure for a very simple reason: you know that nothing can ever replace you. You have a quiet confidence, and a love of simplicity. You should be a bit leery around the dash.

Serendipity

Ever had that feeling that someone is within close proximity?
Ever felt the proximity of your soul mate?
The kind of feeling that makes you look around.

It is good that mobile phones and SMS are invented,
just so you could be sure...
