Are we as bad as we think?


Many of you people know that I've been pretty down because of what happened between me & Xinyi. It's been a real rough holiday for me. But what I seen and heard made me feel that I'm not that bad of as I thought.

Took a ride after work yesterday. Headed down to my regular bikeshop to just chat and catch up abit. When I reached. There was a skinny man seated at the table. Next to him was a very nice bicycle. And in front of him was a bottle of beer. I was not prepared about what happened in the following half an hour.

Apparantly he was a bike mechanic from another shop. He was there to talk about his problems. He was talking to the owner of the usual Bikeshop I frequent. He talked about mistakes he made in the past regarding his career path. How he did no see opportunities when partnerships were being forged. As he spoke. He sounded more and more agitated. More intense. It was then I realized what the real purpose of the bottle of beer was for. He mentioned how his life failed on him. Failed jobs, failed marriage, failed everything.

He was lamenting how his life broke down when his wife left him. And left him with nothing. He talked about how he went on to do nothing for 2 years after that. Surviving everyday sleeping and drinking and eating little food. He did not do anything. He rotted his life away. He also mentioned how the store he was working in was screwing him up. Change of management. Change of working styles. Problems. Difficult bosses.

After a while. He shook the hands of the store owner. Holding on tightly, not letting go. Saying he has no friends since his wife left him. Everyday has been by himself. Drowning in all his failed life events. All the while crying intensely. I left after awhile.

Thanks to all the people who were there for me when I needed support. Cheers to you all. And many more cheers to come. Thank you.

Almost Half a Grand.....

Had father's day dinner tonight with the family at CHIJMES. Gosh was it expensive. Now I'm really broke. The bill came up to $402...... Madness.


Airplane Portal.

Went to chill around the airport and pick up a friend from Japan.





Welcome to the jungle.

Plants for the new office. Very interesting place. The long road along Ngee Ann Poly. A place I always pass by on the roads but never really went into. Now I have. Spent the entire afternoon choosing plants and pots. Then its back to the office. Donated my Big TOFU to add designer vibes to the office! Also headed to IKEA for some last min items to place in the office. Saw a rather interesting sign. And look out for Fifi! The evil wuss dog!

The begining of my holidays?

Finally done with the intensive 2 weeks with my 'N' Level kids. Glad that majority are on the path to completion. However. There's still so many things I have to do. The NTU application form for admission and student pass. Passport sized (recent) to be taken. Car paper issues to settle. Joe's new office to rot my life/time away. My own personal canvas painting to complete. New shoes to wear out. Bike to ride. Time for myself to rot and reflection. And of course. Xinyi to forget from my life. It's gonna be hard.

And I have less than a week before the new term begins.....

Finally got my new Digital Cam! Samsung NV30!

Went down to suntec for the PC show. Snagged myself a new Dcam finally. This blog is gonna be so much more now that I can take pics without limitations!
