Christmas

I've been thinking, re-thinking, stopped thinking, deconstructed and started thinking again. But still- i don't understand. It came as a surprise, and to be honest, i'm most freaked because i didn't see it coming, and i don't understand to the detail: why? the worse is that i thought i ought to understand. I don't really know what to say about this- perhaps nothing. perhaps i'm too conservative, perhaps. but i really don't understand. josh, if you're reading this, haha, your "slap in the face" prompted me to this. haha.. it's like a slap in the face cus i really thought i knew this someone, and now all of a sudden, i think that has been challenged. A lot. My fault perhaps, perhaps i knew and understood lesser than what i thought i did. perhaps i was over-confident. Perhaps i did have some understanding once, but perhaps its wrong to assume that people have a static mind and character. Perhaps i should have kept in touch more. Perhaps then i would understand. perhaps. I'm going in rounds, but really, the event itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. i just- don't understand. and it disturbs me.

----------------------------------------

had our usual christmas gathering recently. i had a really good time cus it felt like we havent met up in ages! and PAM! :) seeing pam was so nice. haha.. i miss her logic, quick wit, and her different take to most everything. :D later that night though, josh invited another friend over. i think it's just me, but that felt strange. (no, this is not an online affront cus i dont dare to do it in person. haha.. im just airing my armpits hahah :D) the atmosphere was just different to me. it felt like the addition was slightly altering the dynamics of the group. but perhaps it's just me. i had thought that i would be completely alright with it, but well. hmm. i guess I've been accustomed to coming back to the group to take comfort in our constancy; the quiet, familiar feel in our gatherings always sets things right for me. so i confess that the change did unnerve me a little. haha, i guess i wasn't as friendly as i normally would be. but this led me to think about the times when i joined my friends' cliques as an outsider. perhaps they felt the same way too. hmm. not that it's a bad thing though. teething problems, i say. from experience i'd say things get more vibrant, fun and interesting after we/I get over this phase. We all gotta learn to grow up, share, or let go of our old toys one day. but yes, to that, i think im human too- this petty, selfish, xenophobic heart of mine.

Recluse

Once every so often, I like to withdraw into myself and shut out the world- whimsically. Just stop talking. No real reasons. Not really the first time. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, this is a part of me that needs some getting used to. Perhaps, the people who knows me, knows this happens. Perhaps, the people who do, doesnt exist. Perhaps i'm wrong- Perhaps this is selfish. But once, just once, every so often- i'd like to claim my leave from social behaviors. Just once every so often, i'd like to disappear. Take the phone off the hook- for ages. -I'm sorry though, if my habits hurt. And i do so appreciate the concern too. But, like my daddy says: ourself knows best. sk

overwhelming

i woke up at 4am this morning without an alarm, thinking about all the work undone. realising it's the 12th, and that i'm meeting AC on the 19th to run through my presentation, which i haven't editted. thinking about needing to submit 12 more prescriptions by tomorrow, and i haven't done any. thinking about topics discussions that have't been fulfilled. thinking. thinking. thinking. but unable to drag myself outta bed; my body resisting to put itself through the tsunami of shit. grr. i shall shut both my eyes and trudge through it. Need to remind myself really, that work never stops. ever. Need to remind myself of who i am truly- that i exist without the work. i simply have to start living and breathing again. A random thought, you know how some sites like to ask you to key in some verification code before posting? I like the way blogger does it. "Please prove that you're not a robot." haha, but unfortunately, i think i am becoming one. ok. e

Limited time

We all have limited time on this Earth,  and a limited 24 hours in a day. What you choose to pack into that 24 hours, will decide what your life portrait will look like at the end of your road. (Yes, I think a lot about the end of the road nowadays.) I was just thinking to myself yesterday, if i applied the "rise of the guardian" concept to myself, what would my core be? I had wanted it to be love. I had thought that love shouldn't be limited. I had thought, that I would be able to dedicate a certain share of love to all the people in my life, who needed the care at the point in time when they do. I had thought, that my heart should be big enough to welcome as many people in as possible. Because ultimately, at the end of my road, I want to breath my last breath smiling, knowing that I have made a difference to people. I had thought that was possible, but i forgot that while my heart can be limitless, my time can't. In trying to be everybody's friend, I have fa
