The painful loss

If I were given this topic 12 years ago in English paper, I would have plenty to write. This shows how non-creative and boring I was during my primary, secondary, and JC days. Back then, I would dig my brain cells and stared at the paper for hours just to think of a story to write. After so many years then I realise, writing wasnt that tough at all.

Case 1.
I think I was a bit disappointed.
I wont view it as a very painful one just because I lost contact with a friend. I tried to contact her again but it was a one-way kinda communication. Perhaps my credibility as a friend drops somehow but I aint see the cause. Anyway, it didnt bother me. Life goes on. I was disappointed when he asked me * hey, did you receive her greeting message? * No, I didnt. But he did. Perhaps he has more credibility.

oh, that was Christmas eve when we were hanging out at Holland V last year.

Case 2.
Friends who know me, will know I dont call up people easily. Usually when I call, that means something very, very important pops up and certainly requires your attention/involvement. It's not painful to me to lose one day's salary just to attend a friend's need.

Case 3.
It was a painful one at MOS last Saturday.

Case 4.
My mood wasnt that good after Friday's incident. I kept asking myself * how could it happen? * And I know it's the after-effect of the alcohol and carelessness on my part. And I hate it. However, my mood changed immediately when I learnt about her nephew's incident. My heart sank when I learnt about the painful loss. Someone in another part of the earth is experiencing a more painful loss than me, definitely. And I hate it because it was somebody I know. When you put yourself in their shoes, you'll know how it felt. You'll know how bad it would have felt. And this is the case when I wish the clock can be turned back. I had wished that before. And I feared if it really had.

C'mon, please treasure those around you, people. Dont take things for granted. Tell your loves the things you wanted them to know. If your love ones say she wants to go Japen for holiday, dont hesitate to book the tickets. Stop giving excuses to say wait till you got the bonus - because you never know the day may not come at all. Borrow if you can - but hey, dont borrow from me!


My heart sank further when I saw the little cofin at the wake.
