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.

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...

Random...

Just went up to Doulos wiv Mum, Paul and Kenny. The last time I went was around 15 year ago. But there weren't Mum, Paul or even Kenny. I was there with Leonard and Dad. Suddenly i missed the old times so much where Dad and Leonard is still around at home. Things have changed alot. Same ship, different companions, different feelings. Life has come a long way for me, and perhaps for everyone that i know. If only I can turned back time, I'll appreciate more all the times that we had, late night's chat, joking around and poking fun at each other . But again, that's human being's weakness--always take things for granted. You wouldn't realized how important a person in your life, or how fortunate to have experienced some things, until you lose it all. I've decided to go abroad. All the tests, the procedures, everything... sigh... it's a long way to go. I'm currently waiting excitingly for the coming school holidays, because that's the only time that I...

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 ...
