Birthdays...

...are over-rated.

29 this year. 29. Sheesh. Where the heck did all that time go? Seems almost like yesterday I left school. In actual fact, it's been enuff time to complete school one more round... including kindergarden~!!

This year, same as any other year, I skipped on my b'day. Nothing to really celebrate I think sometimes. Look at it this way. The more b'days you celebrate, the older you get. The older you get, the closer your "expiry date" gets.

On a positive note tho, it's worth celebrating the fact that you're still alive and survived one more year. And if you have friends or family throwing a party or somesuch for you, you still have ppl that love and care for you. If no party, simple cards, emails, SMS and wishes goes along the same line, telling the same story ;-)

I for one, only got like 8 or 9 b'day wishes this year. That shows me who my real friends are. Some may just simply forget, but it does point out those that are most likely to jump ship the next time you run aground.

But then again, I shouldn't really be complaining much. I'm alive, healthy, have an honest good paying job, have friends and family that care about me. So, at the end of it all, those are the things that count. Who cares if I don't get wishes, parties or presents from the rest. It's the one that you get and the thought behind 'em all that matters. Here's to another year and hopefully many more years to come~

Next year. The big Three O. Life's midpoint (of sorts). It'll be interesting to see what will happen till then...

Today is

… really a sucky day. First half of the day anyway. Emo level maxed at super high…

Started in the morning when I couldn’t sleep. Kept waking up every couple of hours. When finally managed to sleep, I woke up late… Supposed to get to a blood screening at the office. Got ready at 10am, checked email to confirm and… it’s 7.30am – 10am. Darn it.

Fine. Let’s get to the office anyway. Wanted to see someone. That someone wasn’t there. Darn it 2. Fine. Wait for lunch. Rest of kakis cannot go out. Darn it 3. By now emo level way too high. Skip all this, go out eat and head back to own office la then.

It then rained. Heavy. Very Heavy. Ok, let’s smoke first. Take box and... box was empty. I grabbed the wrong box on the way out! Darn it 4. Fine, rain letting up, might as well get to the car and buy some at lunch. Walking.. walking.. walking.. then it poured. Got wet a bit. Nevermind. Not that bad.

In the car, realized badge was missing. WTH!!!?!! Ran around in heavy rain, retracing steps. Badge was nowhere to be found. Got soaked realllll good. Darn it 5 AND 6! Drove around parking lot, badge was nowhere to be found… Great, just great. Swell day this has been.

Back in the office, changed clothes (always a good idea to have spares) and went around getting temp passes and reporting missing badge. Then work escalation came. Darn it 7. This is so getting annoying.

Finally, everything settled and I’m typing this. All seems to be well until like 10mins ago. Right before dinner time. Guess what. It’s gonna rain again…

Darn it!

Love…

What is love? How do we define it? How do we figure out what it is to actually give it definition?

Love is the quintessential requirement of an individual. Every single person on this earth requires love. Wants love. Wants to be loved. How does one find love? Does fall from the sky? Does it miraculously appear before our very eyes? If one seeks it, how certain can one be that one will find it? And when one does, how does one know then whether that is really love?

Such answers can never really be found. It has to be learned. Through living life, one finds answers. Answers though they maybe, do not answer the real question. What they do is provide understanding. Understanding the nature of things unknown. With such understanding, comes realization, enlightenment, revelations. Does then one fully comprehend the true meaning of love? That is what living life is for. One will know when the time comes.
