That's what friends are for

That phrase came to my mind the moment blogger appeared on the screen.

If not for some of my angels, these two weeks would probably have been even more mentally exhausting. In fact, I even realised how lucky I am to have made a good friend at work.

Still, who cares about competing with non important people? So what if my mum thinks you are pretty (Hah!). Fact is, being with the people who are important to me is probably my perfect tranquiliser.

Can't wait to meet up with the other most important friends too.

In the meantime, I shall just savour the amount of nice food I had within the week.

Why oh why?

Can you please just accept the letter?

I'm at my wits end.

Just found out that one of my neighbour for the longest time ever is moving away this month. =(

Things I'm grateful for today...

Even if it sounds a bit like those prayers, no it's definitely not. Just that whilst walking to the train station from China Square, it suddenly occurred to me that despite mad man being mad as usual, there were a lot of little things that made my day. And these are the things that keep me going. Anyway, the 2 things I reflected upon on my way to the train station:

(1) NTUC Income. Yup, the scholarship may have caused me to lag a year behind my peers, but it brought along new opportunities and friends, which would probably not exist in my life. After having lunch with legal today (plus Caroline, who was part of legal too), I realised that just as you can take me out of RGS but not take RGS traits out of me, by the same nature, I can be out of NTUC Income, but a part of NTUC Income will still remain in me. It's been 2 years since I celebrated lao ban's birthday with the section, but it all felt so surreal and reminiscent of the past at Muthu's Curry today. Whether Vincent meant it or not, his offer to talk to Mr Peh made him really daddy-like, which also reminded me why he would always be the boss I respect most. Thanks, Vincent, and happy birthday in advance! (I want to see Evan.. Bring Evan!!!!)

(2) Shaun. After so many years of trying to find my optimistic and cheery self (the one whom Qiuting used to describe as always smiling), I realised that I did become more cheerful these days, even though facing mad man and his protege doesn't seem to be a particularly pleasing task. The key to optimism, I think, is the amount of running, exercising I've been subjecting myself to. In fact, I was probably cheerier in NJC because I used to skip, bounce everywhere and even across the library. Maybe that's why nespray was such an optimistic person too (Hmm.. I wonder how he is now). Anyway, even if you won't get a chance to see this, thanks Shaun, for at least making me slightly more enthu about exercising, such that I might have finally found the elusive key to turning myself back into the cheery Yaofang I used to be.

Nothing matters more to me than..

I'm just being ultra emo tonight.

Still, da ge, thank you. You'll always be one of my most important friends, and one of those who'll make me want to be successful enough for you to be proud of, no matter where you are.

随想

“谁是草莓族，你才是榴莲族。。”

不知从几何时，我已习惯用伤害来保护自己。也只有在少数的面前，我才愿意让你们看到善良，宽容的一面。

也许是封闭了太久，也只有在WL顺其自然的提醒我该避开某事时，我才突然发现我真的好爱无意间也伤害自己。

快速的步伐总让人忘了欣赏周遭的风光。只有在遇到阻碍时，你才会偶然发现身旁的风景。

炎闷的午后竟因一个简单的短讯而灿烂了。是巧合吗？怎么美思Guohui都同一个星期内发短讯呢？

无论如何，你们却让我在拼命的斩除前方自己设下的敌人的当儿，突然停下脚步，不在乎仇人已跑的多远。

美思，今天没回电，对不起！但请相信耀芳依旧是耀芳，说到，一定做到。

Guohui，你也是。即使我已不小心删除你今天的短讯，但你可要说到做到哦。我依然期待你康复早日回到工作岗位上。

Random thoughts...

Someone asked me today how I find the time to blog. I realised I don't, just like a lot my other friends who have more or less ceased their blogging activities (ie. Claritee, Soulvibes etc). Unlike some who blog so that they can let the entire world know what they are doing, others blog only so that friends whom they hardly see can still be updated once in a while (Facebook status not counted). So Ms Claritee, Mr Soulvibes etc.. I'm still waiting for updates on your blogs, especially now that I can hardly come online, and I don't get to see you all too...

My new job was supposed to allow me more time to see my friends, rather than have them come to my office just to deliver food. Why is it then that I end up having even less time for them now? In the past, at least they could come up with food. With monster here now, I doubt they can even step foot into the lift lobby.

Interestingly enough, just as I mentioned in my earlier entry, my most often meet-up "friend" is really someone who gets paid to see me. Which may or may not be a good thing since I think bottling too much stuff within me has made me blabber a lot more things that I think I shouldn't have. I need to learn to shut up and watch tv more. Haha...

On a side note, I'm impressed by WL's honesty. Frankly, I don't think I'd ever do what you do. Whatever and however things turn out, remember I'll always support you, k dearest? =)

On a super side note, should I reply Jo's message on Facebook?
