The Theory of 21 days..

I told myself not to think bout him. But it keeps coming back from time to time. The only improvement is, i'm not crying for him anymore.. I told myself i had enough of it.

A friend told me that i'll need at least 21 days to get over it. Why 21 days? Why not 10, 11 or 12? Why 21? She never answered me. Guess i'll need to find out myself. Let's see where i'll be after 21 days.

Perhaps this is how it's formulated:

1st 7 days (or the 1st week)
This is "The Mourning Period" where i'll feel anger, upset, guilt and all other negative emotions. Hating both myself and him, blaming all the secandary factors that cost me the break up. Should be going through the crying to bed moments. Sigh..Tough week ahead then..

2nd week (day 8-14)
Time to accept that we've break up. I'll remember all the sweet and painful moments that i've gone through. I guess i will stop hating him at this time, perhaps even loved him back for all the experiences and lifetime lessons. For this, i'll name it
"The Learning and Accepting Period".

3rd Week (day 15-21)
" The Getting Over You Period". I'll finally get over him. I'll live my life better than ever before. This is the period where i finally have the courage to hang out with friends and create new social ties with new people. Time to have fun again!

So. i guess i'll be fine in 3 weeks time.. Hmm.. interesting theory of the 21 days huh?

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 Donkey

Remember the annoying, big mouthed yet good in nature Donkey in Shrek and Shrek 2? Can you remember any friends that resembles the Donkey? And seriously, I DO NOT MEAN PHYSICALLY!!! Recently, I've come to realized that there are lots of " Donkeys " in my life. Don't feel offended if I'm referring anyone as a donkey, coz do put in mind that at the same time, I'm an Ogre too. Yep, it's funny how some friends tend to annoyed us so much that we would like to tell them to shut their mouth sometimes! They will keep on going just to keep us annoyed even you've give out all the possible signals and hints that you're really not in the mood to join in their play. But their patience is somewhat last for eternity. They'll follow you around just to keep you in their watching distance. Although some may not resembled the loud Donkey in Shrek, but they do have other ways to annoy you. I have this particular friend who were so choosy and annoying, and somet...

Whirlwind

It has been a whirlwind like for the past month. Had a depresive episode and anxiety attack last month, and still recovering from it. This is not the first time in depression, but it scares me alot compare to the last one some 12 years ago. I find myself gasping for air, reaching out for help, so that i can stay afloat in the midst of darkness and drowining. I remembered Kel alot during the past month or so.. the mental image of him lifeless, reminds me again and again, that I need to hang on in there, and put in effort to be alive. I am thankful to God in many ways, to give me the courage to walk out from this unscathed. Rather, I was given the chance to learn who I am as a person. I was exposed to my own shortcomings even when I refuse to see it, I was challenged to 'let go' to things and emotional burden that I have been carrying all this while. I spoke to more people in the past month then I ever spoke to in the year before. I knew I was desperate, and I needed to see and...
