Today is an uneventful day. I'm sorry to all readers out there that i've not been able to come up online to update and share my life in recent days. Recent days have been rather messy in a clear cut manner.
Things haven't been actually going too well everywhere. Let's start off with my dad: His condition seems to be stabling down but the side-effects are starting to kick in very fast. Just afew days ago, when he was trying to have dinner, the skin along e edges of his mouth got torn and it started bleeding non stop. This is due to his cancer treatment has already more or less killed most of his living tissues around his mouth. Right now, the only way he is able to consume is through a straw. And the nourishment that he's taking it in, is all in liquid form. It's very sad to see him and his body deteriorate at such a quick pace. I remember just around march, I was still sharing chicken rice with him, and he seems fine, chewing on to big chulks of chicken heartedly. I have agreed with my mom that once his therapy is over, the whole family is going to go and take a family photo in case something really bad does happen.
Other than being troubled with my dad's issue, I have been somewhat distracted by a few others. Some of them are relationship based, and some of them are pretty personal. As for what happened to me personally, I do not feel really comfortable as yet to share in my blog. However, I have only told what has happened to me to a couple of loved ones and close friends. Though that's nothing much I can do about it, I do worry for some who might be affected through my issues.
I have a couple of friends coming up to me and complain asking me why do I always write such solemn and sad stuff. Well, I do not always show much of these sad side of me to most of my friends around. Most will see me as an irritating and crappy arsehole who always have something non-constructive to say but always crap about everything around us and making us laugh. But it's not that I only have such a side of me. I do have my down periods and my high periods. Everyday I would think about what's my high and low for the day. Few loved ones are lucky enough to know those highs and lows. However, few learned to appreciate the importance and signifiance of sharing my life with them, good and bad. So I'm asking you guys out there, what's your high and low for today? When was the last time you told them you missed them? When was the last time you actually shared a private joke with your loved ones? When was the last time you asked a loved one what their high and their low is?
I've been trying to share my life with someone I feel comfortable with, but things just doesn't seem to work the way they are supposed to be. I guess that's the unpredictability of human nature. I have decided to close up myself again behind lock and key. Somehow my master key has chose to cast me as an ordinary box. Though I'm not as mystery as houdini's magic box or as mythical as pandora's, I'm unique i believe in my own special way. It's a shame that people I have chosen be ruggage through the contents sees no value in them. I'm angry. I'm disappointed. I'm sad.
I don't really like what's been going on around at this stage of my life. Sometimes I wish I was dead. Maybe if this dark feeling deep in the recesses of my mind that I chose such a gothic layout here. I'm tired. I feel like Edward Scissorhands. But I don't know if at the end of my story, anyone would remember me by the snowflakes I created. That was a great movie. A Johnny Depp profit.

Someone has been bugging me to update my blog here. Says it feels like reading live tabloid. Haha... Such a colourful lifestyle. Colourful, not really. Messed up, yes, quite. Come to think of it, i didn't expect anyone to be a vivid reader of this blog. Its not like i'm David Beckham or something. Maybe i shld start my own fan club? Oh well, i know wat THAT person is going to say after reading this... "DUH~!!"
Hmmm... wats there to update when you have basically nothing much to say? I guess basically wat our reader wants to know is wats been going on wif me and ii? Haha... well, lets just say its not any fairytale, happily lived ever after thingy. First things first, i dun think anything is ever going to start between us and all coz i realized she's just treating me like any other ordinary one of the guys she's dating currently. Secondly, though she clearly knows how i personally feel abt her, she is deciding to sit up on the fence and keep things ok which is cool with me. Third, i dun think i'm one that really catches her eye or anything. I'm just too normal. Maybe too nice. And in the game of love, the gd guys get kicked out coz the bad guys always gets the gals. Haha... Cute? Or sweet?
After some thought, i realized that aiya... its not working out lah. Ya... wat the fish rite? I also know. But then again, i'm not going to treat her any differently or anything. Maybe some of my thinking towards her will need to change. Swap swap a bit, crank it down a bit, and i'll still be cool. Lets just say that whoever she's decided to be with, do tell me lah. If not i will be kept waiting like a cuokoo. Haha... Best wishes and gd luck to all her suitors out there. 'Jia you' lor... She's a nice catch. Pity my net is just too small.

Sunday today has been a slow, stale day as usual but yesterday's sat was a pretty happening day. Haha... Went to catch another movie with incredible individual. This time it was '50 first Dates'. Romantic and beautiful movie.
Actually i've been constantly chatting with ii aka incredible individual for quite sometime now. Maybe its becoz she keeps making me laugh, maybe its becoz of the charm she's able to infect me with, it makes me very happy just having her ard. She's wonderful. Writing abt her already makes me wish she is ard this very moment. I miss her. Haha... can't write to much here. There are somethings that shld be best told face to face...

Didnt really had a gd shut eye last nite. Was chatting with a couple of friends. Came up with several frustrating topics. Emotions come out ranking tops.
Was talking to perfect stranger last nite over msn. We both more or less laid our cards on the table regarding issues on the both of us. I wish her all the best.
I had another chat with incredible individual again. Boy, can she talk cock... Haha... But eventually the conversation boils down to some pretty serious inside views abt certain perspectives on life and how we both wanna live them. Hmmm... so am i red wine or cocktail? Anyone can tell me?
I'm starting to collect my emotions and starting to gain more control of them nowadays... In a certain way, i'm beginning to know that i'm not really ready to get myself tied down. I'm still too immature and tacky. Thats not the way to go. I shld really start doing something. Hmmm...

Its been a great start to this week. The greatest so far of the year. Met up with an incredible individual yesterday. Went to watch Ben Stiler and Owen Wilson's Starsky and Hutch. Was holding our side the first 10 mins into the film. Wonderful comedy.
Had an open heart to heart talk with this mystery individual... She is awesome. Cute, sweet, witty and charming... I just really throughly enjoyed the afternoon spent. I dun know how else to describe her.. haha... i do sound smittened. Hmmm... danger warning signs blaring all over already. But dun worry. I know when to pull the brakes. If any of you guys out there are thinking of more, sorry to disappoint lah... Though attractive, i do know that our primary concern is not to get tied down. Not for the moment that is... We both are much too rational for that. Lets just take things in their own course.
Suppose to meet up with her again tomolo evening... hmmm... Hard to describe my feelings at the moment. Excited? Ya... Perhaps. We'll see how things go...

A friend call Loneiness came knocking on my door the other time asking if i needed any company... and he's been staying ard ever since.
One of these days wld like to go to the beach. Maybe to fish, maybe to stay over. Not sure. Hope i can get some company. But haven't found none who are really interested. Maybe its becoz i'm picky with my choices.. maybe i'm a tab too boring. Or might be both. Haha... just wld like to stay out for once. To do an italian job on everything ard me and escape for a while.
A mystery gal once suggested we hang out and just cuddle and see stars and talk. That cld work. We'll see how.

A bee flew into my room this morning. It was banging its head against the window plane in an attempt to get out. I ended up lying in bed and watch its futile efforts. Silly creature...
Looking at the chap buzzing abt, i realized that we are all like this little bee. How so? Aren't we the same creatures who make some choices in life and choose to enter a room like this bee becoz we tot its a much better option than being out there weathering the elements? However we often regretted and when we try to turn back, we can't. End up always banging our heads aainst the truth; and each time we bang ourselves silly trying to get back, we always see the beauty of wat we once had and taken for granted. Painfully ironic isn't it?

The mood compelling me to write can be irritating as is the mind that left me alone in front of this screen. Though one is able to post anything here, its just not my style to smurge and crap on empty canvas. A story? I remember promising that everytime i have nothing to write abt. Haha... A story.
There was once long way before the coming of time, where god was taking a stroll in the garden of earth. Its just much too lonely god thought, i shld start thinking abt bringing others here to share the beauty of this place call earth.
God decided that this new being call man shall smell of the sweetness of spice and starting to create man out of the goodness of the earth. Of wheat flour and spice and of water, he knead the dough and shaped it into countless shapes of little men.
Now, god has a magic oven. Its of this magic oven that he is able to breathe life into all that he bakes. So god place his first batch of man into the oven to bake. Sore and exhausted, god decided to take a nap. Alas! When he woke up, he realized that the first batch of man was badly burnt and sooted. The first man, god decided to put them in africa, where the sun shines brightly in the plains so they wld not get lost in the dark.
God started to bake another batch of man. This time, i wld not take a nap so they wun be badly burnt. However, this time round, in his anxiousness, god opened the over door too soon, and fair white batches of man jumped out. These white man, god decided, to push them to the west, where the beautiful sunset joins with the night.
After 2 tries, god realized that he still has some wheat, spice and water left. He decided to give man baking another go. Becoz of his past experiences, this time round, he's able to open the oven door at just the right time. This batch of man, with nice yellowish brown colour, he decided to place them in the east, so they can always experience the beauty of the sun rise.
Thats why till this very day, men has different skin colour and can be found in different regions of beautiful earth. The dark first in africa, the whites in the west and the yellow in the east.
The end.

Perfect stranger is thinking abt getting herself married. Someone proposed to her. Twice. Yikes. Haha... Wish her all the best. She will always have my blessings.
Been thinking abt a lot these days. Friends come telling me wat a 'happening' life i led after reading wat i post up here in my blog but haha, i rather things wld tone down a bit more. Simple is always most beautiful.
Been reading a lot. Looking up tons of books on creative thinking, lateral thinking and sorts. Mostly self-help books. Found interest in such books of late. Its a gd way to think that i'm seeking help to gain more control and order in my current life...
Met up wif a former camp mate. He's still the same as i left him. Living life on the edge, having cheap thrills and stuff. I remember the times we used to sit ard in our bunkers having cold beer after cold beer after our training. The things we chat abt. Haha.. Kinda miss the times when i was serving. Free from most troubles, just train and train. I once asked him why the constant change in bed warming partners... He casually answered in a street-smart manner,"Bro, when you have slept wif enough, the rest of the other gals u see on the streets wld more or less seem the same to you. No diff." I can never understand wat that meant before. Perhaps i never will. Though i have my fair share of women, i still remember each of them fondly. They are all different. I sometimes wondered if they remember me as well? With fond feelings?
My mind left me with a mental block again. Irresponsible fellow. Always left like that when i'm in the mood to write. Always come with tons of ideas after i logged off. Haha... Found myself staring at the screen again. Wondered how long that was. Shld consider locking my mind up behind lock and key. Perhaps i'll write a story next time when that happens? Suggestions?

Another day. Basically i just made it to a cybercafe terminal before they stop accepting customers for the day. Maybe its becoz it easter sunday? I've actually got plenty to write up today... but i just dun know where to start. My mind's kinda like a jumbled up toy box. Everything thats inside looks appealing but its well... messed up.
Got in touch wif a couple of old friends for the past few days. Some sec ones, some former camp mates. Most of then remains just as i left them but there are always a few who prefer the change against time. Its a pretty refreshing feel to the meet ups. Maybe its the emotional part where joy, surprise, and sorts come into play. But there's one particular friend of mine that changed the most drastically. She used to be a cute, straight-talking, innocent kinda gal. Now, she's just another one who 'shuts' herself. Feelings i mean. I mean i understand its suppose to look cool and all, but she gives me another feeling of being confused and lonely.
I've been thru such stages before. Stages of life, of growing up when i feel confused, lost. I wun say i've gotten out of it. Haha.. i occasionally do fell back into such a state of confused 'meditation' as well but i just dun wanna admit it. Most of us live each day confused, not knowing wat we want, yet we do not wan others to know that we dun know wat we're after. Thats when faces of men gets contoured and masked. Its the fear i guess of being too 'naked' before others. Its too sensitive. Too scary. I can never know wat caused this fear in men. Mortality? Perhaps. We each are unique creatures in each our own ways, feelings and actions; and when we get the chance to look at the true stern face of mortality straight in the face, perspectives gets changed. Protective 'masks' are worn. And it gets lonely. I know. I'm lonely too.
Guess maybe its easter sunday today. Got influenced wif the holy spirit and all, i start questioning my self-worth. Just how much am i worth? I was pondering thru this question while watching a religious show on tv when that answer come right to my face. A single thread will never know how much its worth unless it is able to see its place amongst the other thread on a piece of cloth. A stone at the top of a mountain will never know its worth without seeing the stone that makes up the foot of the mountain. So how much am i worth? How much are you worth? Worth pondering? Maybe, maybe not.
