Recently read an article in Mypaper abt friendship which made me think of an event that happened recently…
A group of us got to know each other in school…where we became very close friends, always coming together for lunch or dinner after school…after that, although we enrolled into different schools for further studies, we still organized gatherings here n then…however in recent years, the number of gatherings can be only once a yr or even less than that…the only reason I could think of is that, we have our own lives to live, we are all busy w our own work/career, partners/family or other friends and have subconsciously put this group of friends aside…the last gathering we had was Jul last yr where they gave me a surprised bday celebration…since then, I think SL n I tried to organize something in Jan this yr but not successful…so we decided to organize something again this Aug…after a lot of ding-dongs, we finally settled on a date but near to that date, AM said she could not make it, so we all decided to postpone it to the following week to cross over to Sep…first proposed day Sunday – SL n I can’t make it…then second proposed day Saturday – MX can’t make it…final email ended w something like “we have to find another day then”…more than 2 weeks since that email…no one initiated anything…
I wonder – are we all tired of trying to fix a date? Or we simply dun care abt this ~14-yr friendship anymore? Or has our friendship reached the peak during school time and now it’s just coming downslope? Or has our friendship ended with all of us growing up n living our own lives, and that our lives no longer include this group of friends?? Or those “friends forever” that we used to write in autograph books or what we claimed didn’t exist anymore? anyway, i think it takes 2hands to clap...
Maybe I’m just making a mountain out of a molehill…

Love
词 \ 叶世荣. 曲 \ 叶世荣. 主唱 \ 叶世荣.
传来的声音好熟悉 一个人好象在梦里 一直在想念你
远方的你不要哭泣 因为我从来没故意 伤害了你的心
你最爱问我 什么时候可以陪伴着你
你对我说过 不能入睡 太累 一个人太空虚
轻轻的呼吸 在耳边
你是否已陶醉在怀里
漫漫长夜里 拥抱你
我只想对你说
I LOVE YOU
===================================================
最近和PP聊到Beyond,才发现我们都喜欢这首歌...PP, 这是献给你的 :)

Nothing's gonna change my love for you
If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever oh so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young
And we both know they'll take us
Where we want to go
Hold me now
Touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You ought know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy,
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
=========================================================

妈咪,我出事了
On Tuesday, I got a call with the caller saying the above twice, I thought the person must have called the wrong number...but it sounded quite scary though...
Then abt an hr later, I heard colleagues talking abt it...seems like the caller has been calling every extn...thus, we conclude it’s a prank call...
Here are some suggestions 'contributed' by colleagues on how to answer:
~ where are you, I ask 警察爸爸去接你.
~ where are you? Tell me, I go n find you (just to ‘entertain’ the caller :p)
~ when did I have a son, I only have daughter :p
~ hello, this is the police station, where are you calling from?

Real Savings?
Since the joining of this company, I think I have saved a bit as my transport is free – not just workdays; it’s everyday unless I take the other company’s transport system...however, the savings is not really that visible...Now, I think I have instead spent more on food :p...last time in orchard/somerset area I still think the pricing was ok...but here at city hall area, it’s more expensive...so I think all my ‘savings’ have gone to my stomach :p

Worthwhile pain
My neck started aching last Monday afternoon...popping a panadol didn’t help at all...it continued on Tuesday to my head and HH happened to email me, so I told her my problem...she recommended me to this sinseh @ JE central...I called on Wed and book an appointment on Sat morning...the pain continued everyday and it was quite unbearable; didn’t sleep well at all over the week...
During the massage, it was very very painful around my shoulders area...when the sinseh pressed against the joints/bones/muscle (whatever is the correct term :p) I was like, why so so so painful?! Both sides esp the right side...my head too...she later explained, the joints around my shoulders area are too tight, it’s been ‘accumulating’ for quite some time and what she did was to relieve those areas, so as to better circulate the blood flow...she said, I will start to feel better after this but it will need abt 2 days to fully relieve and I will feel the sore / pain for abt 2 days too...she also said I could tolerate pain quite well :p
Indeed, I felt the sore esp on my right shoulder around evening time...i felt I can’t even raise my arm...but when I woke up on Sunday, I felt better, so much better...I finally could get a good night’s sleep after 1 week of pain...like wat the sinseh said, the pain will be worthwhile...indeed...although I still feel the sore and a bit of pain, I believe I will be fully relieved soon...
Thanks to HH and the sinseh!
