*time to grow up*

today i got smack back to reality...
it was kind of agonizing...
i was reminded that i couldn't take forever to decide whether i want to continue with my job or otherwise...
my colleague asked me a couple of questions which determined my fate...
i'm jobless...
officially...
i was in low spirit...
but not for long...

i don't understand why harsh but truthful words are not expressed right before me...
i would be able to take it...
because usually i must have done something wrong to deserve that form of 'treatment'...
i don't like it when others communicate important things via email, msn or sms...
i must admit that i use these modes sometimes...
and i really probably should not use it in the future as there would be lots of misinterpretations...
today i wonder why must bad stuffs happen before my birthday...
somehow, i think i deserve it...

watched oprah winfrey's show...
brought tears to my eyes...
finally, a reason to cry...
nate, an interior designer lost his good friend...
i don't know how life would be without the people i truly cherish...
i felt for him...

had dinner with my best friend...
shared with her what's been happening in my life...
our lives seemed poles apart...
she has the kind of life i desire to lead after i have undeniably turned a rotten apple...
she pinpointed that i lacked discipline...
i ought to be ashamed...
truly, time to grow up...

got scolded by mom when i reached home...
tried my best not to fight...
instantaneously brought me back to a conversation i once had with someone i used to call dear...
he was right...
i should take actions instead of trying to justify myself out of nothing at all...
often, i can't shut up...
my nature...
i hope i would learn well before i get married...
if i do get hitched in the future...

so many things to learn on a brand new day...
don't waste your life away...
don't waste your time...
time is so precious...

work has been irritatingly routine. day in and out. life is fading it's colour. can't break the chains. have nowhere to run to. stare at the PC screen, move inches on the mouse and hit the keyboard by hundreds each day, fighting hard to keep my eyes half open past lunch hour. life is ticking by fast. save me from this. it's nearing 2 months now. haven't encountered much challenging tasks. it's about a year now. not earning and saving much. it's getting harder to breathe. tell me what to do.

Acquaintances with Benefits

When I was young (in upper primary), my birthday wishes were similar.  It was to have many friends.  That could be due to the fact that I am an only child and may feel lonely at times.  Thanks to my best friends (you know who you are), I seldom feel lonely.  I can easily identify who my best friends are.  They are people I would ask for opinions on important decisions I have to make, meet relatively regularly (at least bimonthly, quarterly) for chit-chat and my life would have been very different without them. According to Robin Dunbar , in order to maintain stable social relationships where an individual knows who each person is, and how each person relates to every other person.  Friends are essentially different from acquaintances.  Acquaintances are typically: #1. People whom you may have only met a few times at an event/function; #2. Classmates/schoolmates/coursemates you have encountered casually; #...

Outlier

It is always amazing meeting outliers. One who respectfully defies what ageing means in recent decades.  It is awesome to encounter a senior (almost twice my age) who is fitter than me. So inspiring! She embodies the example of good stewardship and living well in the last trimester of life 🧓🏻💛
