lazy Sunday afternoon...not! :D
was vacuuming my room today and i'd finally learned how to pull up the windows (yes, after a month and a half!) but i had the fan on and windows open and it was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon. Percy Sledge's 'When a Man Loves a Woman' was playing on my computer, and suddenly, i just felt a rush of....
southerness!
LOL!
here is my first photoshopped photo. like it? :D
yes yes. you don't have to tell me how lucky i am to be living in a place like this. i know.

to a fellow overseas Kuchingite :D
hey there pretty lady.
don't know if you remember me or will you even see this post, but we met once, briefly at Java Juice, then Open A for siobee and tauhu jui, u had gubak mee! lol.
anyway. was just reading your post and it just freaked me out cos you've said exactly how i feel. had a similar experience to yours a year and a half ago..doesn't seem that long ago..i lost my mother..and then i also 'lost' someone very close to me. kinda like a double whammy :P
i was loud and 'bubbly' and 'perky' as my friends say. like you, i found great delight in the smallest of things, but nowadays watching a 4th of July fireworks display, i can't muster anything more than a 'oh, that's nice.' :P
i'm sorry if i seem presumptuous. but i just wanted you to know you are not alone.
oh. i had a dream about her last night. i can't remember any of it, but i can remember how it felt to be with her.
i still miss her everyday.

a friend in need
Dear Pikachu, thank you very much for your email. i'd like to reply it in a long version but i just wanted to drop something here to let you know how much i appreciate your words of encouragement. our life sure sounds like most of us at this age now. so just know you're not alone in that :)
i guess most people who know me must think my life is grand, earning US bucks and going abroad. well guys..it's not that simple. i seem to be the odd one out most of the time, in terms of being an intern, being a guest in a family home, being WITHOUT A CAR, being an Asian..
some may think those are silly, unimportant things. but for a person like me, for whom human relations is a very important factor in her life, those things stand out to me every day. i've said it before and i'll say it again. if i wasn't making good money but i was in a job i thoroughly enjoyed and felt i was contributing to, and had an environment where i had good and dependable friends, it would be more than enough.
i went to the store and bought some pretty things to make myself feel better, as someone recommended i do. what do you think makes a more lasting impression in your memory, a new wallet or a good and long conversation with a person you feel totally at ease with?
see where i'm coming from now? :P
Well, Pikachu, my message to you kinda ended at the first paragraph. i just wanted to make a point to anyone who might happen to read this. again, i really do appreciate your email, it's so good to know that someone out there is thinking of you and cares for you. i know you're not the only one, there's all those people whom i put in my Facebook album too :)
if you really sit down and think about what this life is for, which one would you choose?
