great that things have been cleared out between us.....=D
sometimes, when we read other people's blogs, we take a subconcious assumption that the person is speaking to another person. like when i use You, it doesn't really mean you, you. more like i'm speaking to my inner reflection. more like, this blog is very personal to me.....
do you talk to yourself? some entries are about me talking to my reflection of the day.....so please please please - clarify before any unfortunate mis-understandings happen.
of course....it's a really a path of unconnected thought - i can't really explain it because sometimes whatever that is here that doesn't make sense, probably doesn't. At least to my readers........at times, i don't even know what's going on (really)
_______________________________________________
there are times when people are down and sad...the first obstacle to overcome is to go forward and offer a warm hand, a nice hug....a pat on the back
however, like what xinyi said, sometimes people don't do it because they don't know how to and probably don't want to hurt your feelings further lest they said the wrong thing.
but from all of this, i've learnt something very important
that when people are down and sad, they really want your comfort even though they may seem to be withdrawn or something.
it's very much like walking blindly in the dark and then you're conflicting inside which direction you should take. It's natural, because we all are cautious of the unknown. What ifs and Why not questions inside are churning around. However, being in the dark, when someone holds your hand, you'll put your trust into that person automatically and allow him/her to lead the way through that darkness for you.(remember the Zhu wen incident during the animal call?)
if i'm the dark and someone offers me a hand, i'll gladly give it......it's human nature right?
so....the diffcult part is initiating the hand....who is going to stretch it out first? the one in the dark or the one who knows the way out.
the answer can see like "duh?!" but, really in times of need - it's very very very (emphasize 1 million times over and over) crucial that the one who knows the way out open their hands and stretch out to the one in the dark.
please lah....it's common sense - how can a person in need save himself? like seriously, it's like asking a drowning person to breathe.
definitely easier said than done - however, i've learnt from my mistake and perhaps if anything horrible that happens again, we'll know what to do won't we?

the days seemed so much longer and yet, the numbness haven't gone away.
econs test this fri? lol, i didn't even know...but really, today's econ's lecture is the most enjoyable i've ever been to. it's great to see you smile again :D although we may be far away in the lecture theatre, but to see you laugh along with the group and still "risk" talking to each other in the theatre really made my day.....
oh ya! how can i ever forget: xinyi, i think our morning runs should be talk-out sessions....love to share my heart with another pal (a fellow virgo!) and beryl, thanks for always being there and helping the lazy econs students with the econs board!
i can see the sun shine through the dense clouds....and things are getting better, at least there's some improvement unlike nothing.
