Goodbye Wise Guy

A friend is leaving this country soon. I wish for him to have a whole new world full of promises and dreams there. He's one of the closest friend whom I've get to know last year. Sometimes it's funny how people can get along in such a short time. Net friends, especially. Maybe I'm fortunate to meet people who's really true bout themselves, and not hiding their true self behind the veil of online chatting.

Back to my friend, he's one of the nicest people I've known. Being an African in a foreign country, it's never an easy life for him. I admire his strong will to keep on surviving. To have positivism buried deep inside him despite all the odds he faced. I felt so small beside him.

Few more days, you'll be gone. You promised to keep in touch through e-mails and online chatting. But I guess, not having you around here to talk to is a different experience altogether. You've been nice enough for me to talk to all this while. You taught me on how to get my life going, and your words of wisdom, will always be with me. I'm really going to miss you a lot.

I remembered your words you said to me.

You told me to take care of myself FROM myself, as you keep on repeating it. No one understand that except you.

You said you will never worry about me, cause I will learn how to survive somehow.

You told me not to be too kind, I understand it well .

You said, no matter what happened, no matter how bad our family is, forgive them and be strong for them.

You said, no matter where you are, you'll never forget me. Well I won't too.


Guess, this is part of life. People walk in and step out from your life all the time. Somehow, some left without leaving anything, some left impact on our lives so big that we will never be the same again... You are definitely the latter one.

All the best in Canada. Take care and have a good life there. Gonna miss u a lot wise guy.

Disabled again..

Today.. is another sad day for me. They just disabled "e-messenger", which ended my pleasure of keeping in touch with friends lately. Sigh.. exactly 14 more days, and I'll be out. Just have to be patient. Had a long talk with my boss. Many things that we've talked through and I appreciate his acceptance over my rather harsh comment. We're more like friends now, rather than him being my boss, or me being his subordinate. Frankly, it's been a long 5 1/2 half months. Unhappy i may seem, but i do learn alot while working here. Strangely, i think i might even missed this place..

Crossroads

Life is about choices.. Choices about how you want to run your life, what principles that you hold, what career you are heading in the future. Perhaps, now is a time where tough choices are ahead for me. Both family and friends have their own saying about what is the best. So, what's the best for me? I'm easily influenced by persuasion, and i usually give in easily. Sometimes ever so reluctantly, i followed what people asked or wanted me to do. I do not have much consideration of what I want in the first place. For this, I've been wasting more than a year now, which could easily turned out to be an interesting year for me to proceed to my dreams. A year of frustration, a year of uncertainty, and a year of lost chances. The 6 months in Melaka wasn't the best in my life. Some might say it's just a short period in your life. But in reality, I've lost alot of chances in this 6 months time. Work, study, career, even my relationship. Every person in my life has their

Liars in Training

I was really surprised how young kids at the age of 7 & 8 lied and giving excuses for not handing in their homework. 3 kids today gave me unreasonable and of course unbelievable excuses. Case 1: "I have the book. But when i went to buy drinks in the canteen, someone took my book from my bag. After I go back home to finished the exercise, I couldn't find it.... even my Mum couldn't find it. Really!" "emm hm....?" "But just now, when i reached the class, I found the book in my bag. I dunno how it get there, but i'm really sure that it wasn't there yesterday. Really.." "so...?" "Erm... that's why i didn't finish the exercise, cause it's just not enough time for me to finished it." she said with the sweetest smile u can ever imagine. " Can I call your mum now?" In the shortest moment, the cute little girl burst into tears. There goes the far from perfect lie.. Case 2: " My mum brought me to
