I must be

I must be a Thai in my previous life. I am not in a good mood today and there are lots of things bothering me. Hopefully, they will go away tomorrow..I came home today and flooded my room with Thai music and I feel much better already.

I dont understand every single lyric but I can sing along to every of the 20 songs that are playing. I remember Sai use to play Thai songs in the study room, and I would have post-its notes sticking all over the place teaching me thai.

I miss my best friend. where are you ? you should come back to asia my dear....

Food for Thought....

I woke up one lazy Saturday and decided to surf around the net for courses and workshops.. so i typed in 'teenage' in google and found this video called Teenage Affluenza.... food for thought this lazy weekend.

07th June 2005 ( 2 years ago )

Two years ago, I left Canada...

I walked around with a heavy heart today...I woke up feeling grouchy and wasn't looking forward to going to work, I dragged my feet to finish work.

It was a rainy day when I arrived in Singapore two years ago, it rained again today.
I went to IJ the next day after I arrived two years ago, I went to IJ again today.

Co-incidently, I manage to talk to Sai..
Co-incidently, Craig is in town..
Co-incidently, I met cookie for lunch..

Today is not a happy day..... I will take a while to recover.

A series of unfortunate events

about 2 years later, i find myself typing again on a german keyboard. 2 years ago, it was jenny's laptop, this time, its Rene's laptop. I am stuck after passing some stuff and it is POURING rain ! ( this keyboard def. takes some getting use to ! this shot little paragraph has taken me a very long time to type...... )

once again i see the strange symbols........ µ ö ä even ß ! the Y and the Z are in different positions.

With my cousin's wake coming to an end and the upset stomach coming to an end with the pass of the food poisoning phase, i am slowly feeling normal again. I have been cursed with a series of unfortunate events.....

Some learnings from the weekend :

1 ) its SUCKS to have food posioning ! you feel like you constantly have to vomit and at times, you just want to rip out your stomach, turn it inside out and just empty it.

2 ) its difficult to see someone pass away at a young age. It is difficult for the people around the person and it takes a while to settle it. At this point, it has not quite registered in my mind that my cousin is gone. Maybe my brain is telling my heart that he has gone for a permanent vacation......

3 ) you know who are your friends when you dont have to tell them that you are down with food poisoning and the automatically know ! ( glenn and the jin gang : how did you know ? )

4 ) you know which of your friends know what to say to you when you are feeling sad and they miss call you to let you know that they are there if you need someone to talk to.

5 ) no matter where and how are away from home you are. It is important to constantly be in touch.

Fortunately for me , i am jumping back into work tomorrow and i have that to look forward to.
