Coincidence

Last Saturday I followed my dad to his office for a couple of hours before a talk that we were gonna attend (about alternative medicine). After that talk - which I'll come to in the next post maybe - we went to The Curve for our late lunch. Guess who I bumped into? Quei Hing and his girlfriend !! Then I saw Ms. Nurtina (one of TPMA's lecturer) too, performing for Fitness First's Promotion event or something of that sort. Bumping into 2 people in a day, that's cool huh?! Yea, that's what I thought. =)

Yesterday, Monday, my plan was to meet up with Siqin at Bangsar's LRT station then head to PBD to meet up Val. And to do that I need to take KTM. Guess who I bumped into this time (at KTM station)? Hoong Yan and her sis!! Now I'm feeling... wow, this is so amazing! How is it possible to bump into so many people I know so frequently? (I met 2 of my other friends last week in Mid Valley too..) But that's not it!! Siqin and I proceeded to KLCC after lunch with Val.... and this time I bumped into my own cousin! Who came down from Penang on that day itself (i think..) !!!! I was so shocked and surprised and elated all at the same time! Never thought I'd know so many people enough to bump into more than one person in a few hours' span. Well, of course, that was just purely coincidental and has nothing to do with me or my popularity or my widespread network of friends... but still.. one could use some feel-good thoughts once in a while even though it could be quite absurd at times, eh?? haha..

What a day! Then while I was heading home after a good nice chat with Siqin (not to forget the white choc coffee), I bumped into Pei Zhen this time. One of my high school classmates!! Didn't stop to say hi to her cuz I was rushing for the train... But this time I no longer feel it's cool to bump into so many ppl in a day. In fact, I thought it was kinda freaky!!!

A thought flashed through my mind a split second ago: Luckily I wasnt doing anythg I didnt want anyone to know or commiting any crime. Imagine being caught by so many ppl u know in a day. Must be down right embarassing. But it's just a thought. Not that I'm planning to do either of those stuff. A-hem..!!

Childhood Memory

When I was young I had the tendency to draw stuff on my body. Like on my palms, my arms, my legs. Could be anything.. my imaginary tattoo, words, my own name. I'd write a chinese character on each toe, or on each finger tips. Or on each knuckles. Then when I stretch out my hand I liked seeing the words crumble into weirdass shape. And I write em' in all different colors of ball-point pens. Then I'll try to rub 'em off and see which ink is erasable, and how fast. 'twasn't a fetish or anythg... just... a bad habit I guess. one that I'd find myself doing without realizing it. heh.

Of course, it didn't last long. Like I said, it was a bad habit, so after I realized it I stopped myself from doing it. Now... I think I prefer drawing stuff on other people's body parts. :P

Pain in the mouth..

Sitting across me in the train today were two rather fat girls, in mini skirts and sleeveless top with their fats 'overflowing' from every angle. Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to condemn or write unpleasant remarks. But I have to say, I was rather curious about their thoughts on their body shapes and sense of fashion wear. Am not meaning it in the way that they have terrible taste of fashion, but what I'm trying to say is, what do they think when they put on the mini skirts and look at themselves in the mirror?

Let me put it this way. I know I for one, if I were their size, would not in a million years wear a mini skirt and go out to public places. It'd be plain torturous to the rest of the people who had laid an eye on me. Because it's not like they've got a choice.. when you walk down the street, you don't exactly get to choose what you'd see, right? Besides, it's not quite nice to expose the fats on the thighs... (and the pregnant-like tummy and the flabby arms) , is it? It aint something that's very pleasant to see. I wouldn't like what I see in the mirror. So why do some 'big' people wear skimpy stuff anyway? I wonder.

Maybe they just don't care what others think already? Maybe they've suffered enough of the inferiority about their appearances they decided to just ignore it completely. Maybe they know they would never be slim and don't wanna give up the chances to wear nice clothes (albeit in a bigger size) while they're still young. Maybe they honestly love what they see in the mirror, thinking they look really good, so they wear it out, hoping to win some approvals.

Not that there's anything wrong with it. I'm just wondering.

Right now I have serious toothache. No - more accurately, it should be gum-ache. I hurt my gum while flossing my teeth few days ago. And that space between my two upper left molars has always been huge, so the gum that's quite exposed was hurt more easily due to my recklessness. Now I cannot think in my right mind. Of all the things I'm thinking, I had to recall the fat-girls-skimp-wear incident and write bout it. Lame.

The pain is excruciating....!! It shoots up through the nerves to the back of my head i feel like pulling out my whole upper jaw and my left ear...!!!

Oh Roy, Sean, Mr Kong and I went to SJMC to visit ah meng. He underwent an operation few days ago (or last week, i forgot).. something bout fixing the ligaments in his right knee, im not sure what happened. But he's discharged today.. so he should be fine I guess. =)

Downstairs people are watching world cup. Im going tooo now..

Frienship Forever: Part II

So if you remember, I wrote Friendship Forever: Part I some time ago. It's been too long a procrastinating period so I made myself continue with Part II, knowing if I don't do it now I'll most probably delay till god-knows-when. This is for my friends I've got to know back when I was in Russia. Short notes just to show my appreciation of our friendships, in case they didn't already know. =) I'm glad I went to Russia afterall, cuz I've met so many nice people, built so many priceles friendships; and for that I never regretted going there at all.

To Richard, one of my few closest friends there. Thanks for being there when I needed a venting hole. Do you know you're by far the most patient homosapiens I've met until today?! ;) Whenever I felt like I could burst into flames when smthg ignited the Anger in me, I thought of you and tell myself to be more like you. Still remember the times when exams draw near & you, me, PT & Ben stayed up late to study... while munching on all the cookies we've got from the 'rinak' with coffee/milk tea/milo?? Those were the days man!! (cant help grinning at the thought of it=p) oh i missed the times...

To Ben, my groupmate & one of my closest friends too. You always appear to be so energetic optimistic, carefree, enthusiastic I wish I could be more like you. Ahaha and the jokes you make... sometimes it's a bit cold.. but I still like them nonetheless! cuz it's part of what makes you you! My study buddy whom I can always rely on.. and becuz of you i feel safe to slack a bit during lecture! *wink* Thank you for all the help you've given me back then. =)

To Jet & Joseph, real good friends, i feel sorry for those ppl who dunno y'all! ;) The 3 of us, we came back and chose a different path from the others. Cuz of that, if anyone'd totally understand why I made such choice, it'd be you guys. It's been a while since we all last hung out, looking forward to seeing u both. You both are great friends, thanks for all the memories back in kursk and here in KL, I know I can count on y'all when I need help. And I hope you guys know I'll be there too if you need me!

To Peng Ta, remember the times when we'd make and have breakfast together? Oooh and remember the roti canai experience? and how i fell down while bringing it up for Michael and May Yann. Evytime i look at the picture taken, i swear i can still smell the hot crispy roti canai!! Even though I havent seen you for so long and havent kept in touch with you all the time, you're still one important friend to me. So whenever you're free, dont hesitate to gimme a buzz or write to me okay?! Let's meet up this time when u're back!

To Phing Sue, I've only a handful of close girl friends there, and you're definitely one of them. I cant tell you how much I appreciate you for being there for me, and listening to me whenever I had problems. Sorry I wasn't able to do the same for you all this while... I really hope you have really close friends over there now, and people you can reach out for help when you need some. Dont keep evythg inside okay?!

To Joanne, I know there were times when you werent happy with me and I know I wasn't entirely a great friend to you. But believe me I didnt mean to hurt your feelings (if I ever did) and you're one of my important friends too. Haven't seen you ever since I came back, perhaps we could meet up this time?!

To Jane, you're the sweetest girl I know over there. So generous, thoughtful, kind, always smiling. You're the best friend anyone would ask for, and I'm thankful I have you as my friend. Will never forget the breakfasts you made for me (bread the boiled egg)! Come to KL and I'll make you breakfast this time okay! =)

To Melissa, the last time I saw you should be in the airport when I went to see you all. =) Didnt get to know you very well back when I was there, I felt I only get know you much better now after all the chats we've had online on msn. I have a feeling that if we'd have more time together we could've really been very close friends! But let's not let distance be a deterrent for us to build great friendship okay?! ;)

To How Kiat, Priscilla, Alex, Ah Seng, Chi Kai, thanks for the effort to look for me when you guys are back here in Msia. Am really touched that you all still remember me after so many long winters and summers which I didnt spend with u guys. *hugs* You guys rock!!

To all my groupmates, Stacy, Jen Ping, Buai Cher, i'm glad our paths crossed at one point of our lives, am glad i get to know all of you. Even though we haven't seen each other for so long, you all still have a place in my heart, and will always do.

Love you guys.. Dont forget me!!
