Fun, like love, grows exponentially when shared.
As I walk alone, focusing my thoughts simply on my feet hitting the earth, the zinger comebacks quiet enough for a truth to arise. There is something important that I need to do. It’s not losing weight, the usual item topping my to-do list, but reclaiming my MIA sense of humour. But how? I don’t even know who I am anymore.
The best part about friendship is that, like any pure fun, it doesn’t need to happen anywhere out of the ordinary. Friendship is democratically available to one and all. Like the oxygen masks on the airplane, friendship is the surest lifeline that can sustain a woman through life’s raggedy transitions, scary challenges, and inevitable heartbreaks.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
is made up on your side
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left
they lie on my floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah Yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day
And make it OK
I miss you

Saturday - 17/10/09public holiday - Deepavali.
after pondering for weeks, still decided to visit the sinseh afterall in the end.
first time there. couldnt find the place when i reached there.
asked around for directions & nobody could tell me where the (exact) location is.
9am in the morning & it was quite crowded with the uncles & aunties around.
the wet markets & bakeries shops & ntuc.
really a very neighbourhood place. haha.
in the end, i got lost & walked a few rounds before i found the place. lol.
& the place's really really small.
hmm... but as compared to others, the serangoon sinseh's good.
although he made me cry when he did the acupuncture. :'(
he called it the 无针针灸。really can cry man.
but anyways, i had a strange encounter on the way there.
i took a bus to the sinseh at serangoon.
there werent many people on the bus.
at a point of time at a bus stop, everyone alighted & left me and an indian lady.
she then came & sat in front of me, and started talking.
& she sounded like she's venting her unhappiness & anger on me.
dont know why strangers always come & talk to me.
theres like no way of avoidance.
anyway she talked about something. & then the issue bounced back again.
some parts of it, what she said was true. really true.
the people around always never fail to prove it true too.
it happens everyday, on & off, now & then.
but nobody can solve or do anything at all, based on the fact that it is like that.
how scary & sad.
things happen for a reason & cause. problems as well.
not that people & i go look for problems to occur or happen.
is just that its definitely unavoidable when problems come.
& there's no way of escapes on solving either.
Sunday - 20/10/09its really a coincidence when things happen.
dont know whether to say thanks or what.
but its the responsibility afterall.
i just have to due with it when it comes to me.
jiayou meryl! jiayou jiayou jiayou!!!
i wish you bon voyage too. ganbatte!
Monday - 19/10/09 thanks xxx for the horlicks!
i remember that i used to love eating it during the younger days.
hope you're alright & take good care man. :)
met 2 people or ex-artistes from Spin.
the local sitcom which aired on channel 5 many many years ago.
think it was during my pri sch or lower sec sch days.
its so long ago! everyone has grown older & aged.
how time really flies.
met someone whilst waiting for the bus in the evening.
we talked for a short while & someone asked me some questions.
& i dont know how to answer them.
or rather, i dont really have answers for the questions being asked.
i can only clear up the air. but i guess that doesnt and/or wont help at all.
i dont know why does everyone thinks that im attached.
& yet on the other side, rumours are still going on, on this & that & blah blahs.
i find it ironical sometimes too.
hmm interesting uh-huh?
Tuesday - 20/10/09everything seems screwed up.issues always clash with one another.
there's seriously not enough time.
i thought and thought, & concluded that it has nothing gotta do with time management.
perhaps too many commitments? & thus caused things to be tied up.
been running up & down the whole morning.
its hurting again. & all my heels have been neglected for around 1 month already.
how sad too. lol.
& no, i dont really wish to go to the sinseh again. :(

Please don't ask me what happened.
Sometimes I do really hate answering questions.
But an extremely important lesson learnt today.
Words, can become dangerously controversial when misinterpreted..Hopefully a serious warning we can all learn from
''Write & speak responsibly and objectively, or not at all''Silence is golden.
