the followin story is one i read before
and i thought i would live by its morals.
but somewhere along my route to nowhere,
i lost the story.
by chance,
i stumbled across it on my fren's blog-
one i really seldom read.
well,
here it is.
A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy'shands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, " Daddy, I'm sorry about your truck." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home & committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can't.Too often we fail to recognise the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Forgive & forget. Love one and all. If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
forgiveness is greater than revenge.
but anyone who knows me knows this:
i dont forgive..i forget.
guess it serves its purpose as well.

logic kills.
first some fun..
(how true do you think this is?)
---
then the logic..
solve this.
(there are no tricks, just pure logic, so don't give up.)
1. there are five houses, painted in five different colors.
2. in each house lives a person with a different nationality.
3. these five houses each drink a different beverage, eat a certain favourite dish keep a different pet.
hints:
1. The Brit lives in a red house.
2. The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
3. The Dane drinks tea.
4. The green house is on the left of the white house.
5. The owner of the green house drinks coffee.
6. The person who eats pork chops rears birds.
7. The owner of the yellow house eats fish and chips.
8. The man living in the centre house drinks milk.
9. The Norwegian lives in the first house.
10.The man who eats beef steak lives next to the one who keeps cats.
11.The man who keeps horses lives next to the man who eats fish and chips.
12.The owner who eats grilled chicken drinks beer.
13.The German eats lamb chops.
14.The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
15.The man who eats beef steak has a neighbour who drinks water.
the question is:
WHO KEEPS FISH?
enjoy.
(how true do you think this is?)
| You Are a Boston Creme Donut |
 You have a tough exterior. No one wants to mess with you. But on the inside, you're a total pushover and completely soft. You're a traditionalist, and you don't change easily. You're likely to eat the same doughnut every morning, and pout if it's sold out. |

and bloody narrow-mindedness.

life is a rush
"heard youve picked up workaholism from me"
maybe.
it's overr.
the rush from production to production
i cant remember how it felt.
---
why do i still like something i can see through?
it's insane.
karen offered the most possible explanation
for the situation im in
and maybe its just true.
we're just selfish with our toys.
---
something from valane:
1. the tagged victim has to come up with 8 different points of their perfect lover
2. need to mention the sex of the target
3. tag 8 victims to join this game and leave a comment on their comments. this is supposed to be a game. once you are tagged, you are supposed to answer these questions in your own blog.
brace yourself (not in meiyis definition though)
1. my lover! (ideal)
a) giving.
b) doting.
c) heck care about me (i know its a paradox but na will understand)
d) drives. (i never say must have car - we can work towards it)
e) speaks grammatically correct english
f) not tone-deaf but doesnt need to sing well
g) preferably worked with me before
h) able to click with my frens, ie sociable to a certain extent
2. sociologically maleee.
3. this feels like a chain letter. well, if you love me ud do this, so i dont have to name hor. if you dont do means you dont love me. and i'll know. hahaha.
maybe.

its been some time.
been some time since i last blogged properly.
really, i havent had the time.
to me, not having time is not an excuse-
its the cost of a choice.
choice of doing something else.
im past the time when i cant nap for fifteen minutes
without a phonecall or sms coming in.
well, almost.
busying with stuff made me choose.
i had no time for some friends
na, yz, zs, programmers, kimmy + wackys.
i always thot the friends who still stay with me
are those who understand my schedule
cos those who have left did not.
its not that i take it for granted,
i don't.
well, it's.. complicated.
but i must say i didnt expect this.
and im tired of explaining..
i think silence's the best way out.
was telling lane that ive become more cynical.
yet while being that, ive become more appreciative.
so i cant decide if im cynical or not.
thru'out tvm,
i was goddamn lucky i must say.
the people who stuck by me
who understood the situation
listened and appreciated.
i felt sooooo loved.
i feel that ive learnt more in those 2 weeks
than in three years of nus - theatre n eq wise.
seeing that many faces of human beings,
dealing with wad i thought was more than i can handle.
i treasure the lessons learnt.
that maintaining connections is an art.
and probably one i can't do so well.
one valuable thing i took back
is the change in me.
the im-leavin-this-n-learning-sth-else-cos-im-not-good-at-it
element in me is trying to sleep n die off.
i cant give up just cos i think
or sometimes other pple think i dont do it well.
cos the only way to change that sad fact
is to overcome it.
