it's just sad how our world is going crazy. the hour i spent watching news coverage on the earthquake in china made me teary. even the tsunami didnt have such a profound impact on me. and i think mel succinctly puts everything in perspective by saying "i want to do OCIP in china, like now". i dont remember when was the last time i felt such a pertinent need to do something. and such disasters remind me of how fortunate i am, as well as how silly i am to be upset over issues i have control over.

on a happier note, sister got me a belated birthday present. a wallet, which i really needed. first, it was the last remaining thing of hers, and second, my old wallet really needed to be changed. sis has good taste i must say. she splurges on me at times, which make me guilty for being such a miser. but i think ever since i became single, i've been more willing to spend on others around me. that reminds me, i still owe sis her iClear (for macbooks). i like simple things. simplicity oozes charm.

lol sometimes suayu can be such a pain to talk to (online). but there are only that few people that i know i can rely upon. and now, the great denyse (summons) makes me feel guilty for not contributing to Time Tunnel. i've been ordered to watch the final scene of God Father.

there have been people(from the past) making appearances (in the present). from the wenzhou people who i met on exchange in sec 3, to mark ong, my SJI canoeing senior. it reminds to be seen how long such friendships can be sustained. but perhaps the mere act of trying overrides the (futility) of it all.

i am thankful. yet, there's so much more i have to do.
