The Heartbroken Clan


What a boring day.. It seems that my mind is not working again. Nadia went for conference in Beijing for a week, and I have the room for myself, alone. Which is something supposedly fine by me, but apparently not. Been cracking my head whole day doing write ups but the ideas are just stuck in there, regulating between the neurons without any result. Dr M went for entrepreneurial workshop in Tanjung Keling. This means I've gotta walk to and fro for work for the next three days. Perhaps it's a good time to burn some calories..

Some breakup stories from friends again.. Starting from my own breakup, there has been a number of them facing the same fate. Hah, maybe it's contagious, just like the bird flu virus. Oh.. bout bird flu, Indonesia just recorded 2 cases of human to human transmission of birdflu. Seems like the 'little fellow' has mutated again. Evil little things.. Should be more careful nowadays.

Yep, back to the breakup story. Another friend has regain her 'single and available' status again. It was a sad case of long distance relationship again. Another couple of 7 yrs broke up too. One could only ponder how 7 years of love, trust and understanding can be so fragile? The culprit was "having different vision and dreams"... It's 7 years man! But maybe, there's a reason of why it happened. Just wish their life would be better in the future. Just hope that all of the members, old and new in our "Heartbroken Clan" will be strong enough to go through yet another lesson in life.

Come to think of it, being single is not bad at all. I've already met few people who vowed for lifetime bachelorship. hahahaha...... I just felt lonely sometimes, especially when all of your friends are out with their other halves, or when they are talking about how "being loved and cared" they felt. But at least, it allows me all the freedom to do whatever i want, and not worrying about neglecting someone else. Talking about self-defense mechanisms. Anyhow, relationships come and gone, some developed deeper and ended in marriage and raise a family together, while some decided to give it a break.

Just wondering how does the perfect relationship looks like? How does the older generations get to maintain it so well, being married with the same partner for ages, as in their vow of "till death do us part"... while in our times, people are struggling to keep their marriages, and divorce and breaking up is so easy? One could only wonder...

Sometimes when i see old couples holding hands, walking together, side by side, caring for each other, looking over each other's shoulder just to make sure the other one is safe.. i couldnt help but smile. I envied so much the bonding between them.. That's what i call love..

Road back home -A marriage of accounting, planning, and acting skills

What a jovial mood i'm in. Nothing particular exciting but just felt good, at least until now. Gonna go back home later on a 2 1/2 hours of bus travel... Sigh... Just realized that I've been travelling back home like this for years. During my uni days (hah, sound like it's been so long!), i couldn't afford to travel back home every weekends/month. Too far away and the only transport available is airplane. So, I went back twice or a year, sometimes during holidays, sometimes during term break. Remembering back then, we students are really good in calculating the lowest expenditures to go back home.. Many of us had actually mastered all the required skills (accounting and planning skills) and can easily passed off as travel agents or accountants. We even mastered our acting skills especially to the staffs in airlines booking agency and airports ( it's due to the fact that we are almost certain to bring overweight luggage every time we stepped on an airplane).. The who...

My funny friend and I

It's funny how it all started. We hated, or perhaps in a better definition, "dislike" each other when we first met. Both of my closest friends were someone that wasn't pleasant having around at first. Probably i'm the one who need to be blamed for not trusting people easily. This particular friend of mine was my schoolmate* in uni (*noted that school here refers to School of Psychology and Social Work, not secondary school/high school/primary school). We heard about each other, we disliked each other, but in a very unexpected way, we became friends after attending a same class in our 2nd year! (God have it's own reason i guess..) She was not in my course by she took on of the subject in my course as an elective. And after the IVAC ( Inter-University AIDS Conference) 2004, we became even closer. Closer than any of my coursemates whom I've accustomed with their presence in my uni life for 2 years. I was really skeptical at first. How can a person trust some...

Face-o-lo-gy

One night, my Ah Yee (My Aunt, mum's sister) said to me: "Ah Ling ah, your nose is big and fleshy. It indicates that you will be having a good life in the future." Literally means that I will earn big bucks in the future. Yay! Money come money come... "But your nostrils can see the sky (whatever it means) , it means you are like me! Earn big and spend big. But no worries, you won't get poor." Haha, so I can spend whatever I want from now on?? "You have a round face, lots of bak (means meat or flesh in Hokkien), indicates that you will get early recognition from your boss. Hmm, not bad." Yeah, not bad huh. Should tell my boss and ask for a raise soon! " Your eyebrows are quite nice. Dark and long. It means you will get a good husband in the future. But... wait , where did u get this scar?? Haiya, its not that good la like that. But again the scar not that big, shouldn't be a problem la I think. Hm.." So is it good or not??! How come ...
