HIya I'm back!! Hmm, actually, i was inspired to write this post after reading Yihan's and Serene's blogs... Also, i'm waiting for something to finish downloading, so i've nothing to do til then...

Dunno why, but everywhere the general mood of people around is one of sadness... Maybe sadness is too strong a word... how about... ,,, .... shit, must check SATS word list liao... ,,, ... still can't find anything... i dunno, its like, everyone is just so sianz about everything around them ( me included ). To think that we're so stressed after just 2 weeks of school... i wonder how everyone will last til the end of the year...

"If we hold on, together... "

Yar rite... that's if you have someone to cling on to... If not, better go and start reading Leeching for Dummies in order to hook onto unsuspecting victims... Jokes aside, certain recent happenings have made me see things in a different light... Its very funny how when you're sick, you tend to feel so pessimistic about everything around you. However, you seriously hope that what you see is truly clouded, for if that's the actual fact you're seeing, would it make things worse?

I seriously think that nowadays, we are starting to ignore our loved ones around us. We do not care about people around us anymore... Relationships seem to be built around hedonistic pleasures, and once the enjoyment stops, so does the friendship. We are seriously building rafts in the open ocean of life, and if a big wave comes, how many sticks will be left together after the blow? Have we gotten so used to people around us that we start to take them for granted? We believe that the people around us will always be around us forever, that if we do not forsake them, neither will they forsake us... Yet the worse thing is that if someone is gone, why is it that we do not feel their absence? Have we become so stonehearted that we'll not even notice the passing of a friend? Have we grown so used to our own little cocoon that we ignore everything and everyone around us?

Yet, disgustingly, it takes a lot of effort to maintain a friendship.. It needs constant nurturing, constant attention, constant energy in order to keep it healthy... However, too much of all those and it might spoil the relationship as well.. Balance, balance, everything is about balance... I dunno, mebbe i haven't perfected the art of making friends yet.. or rather, i haven't acquired the skill.. Or could it be that i'm a male, therefore i'm not entitled to have sensitive feelings? W-H-A-T T-H-E F-I-S-H...

I think i'm goin crazy...
