Moving and Ouchiness

Helped my GF's sister's hubby yesterday, he was moving into another condo (better shape than the previous one) in Kelana Jaya. He asked for assistance from my GF and my GF asked my to tag along, so I said OK since I had the whole afternoon for myself --- no lectures and tutorials. Speaking of lectures now... I have to wake up at 615am for a briefing at 8am (which is not of great importance) and a Pathology lecture at 9am. The briefing ended at 0840 and I had 20 minutes to spend, with my GF visiting the medical library in the faculty. At last the Pathology lecture, and I was waiting anxiously for the lecturer... I want to get it done ASAP. 1 minute past 9, 2 past 9, 10 past 9 (will she ever come?) and our class rep went looking for her. So we waited impatiently, until SoonCai got an SMS and shouted on the top of his lungs ,"CLASS CANCELLED!!" DAMN! I wasted the entire morning in the faculty, either attending a quite "useless" briefing and a phantom lecture. ZZzzz.....

Back to the moving part. We drove a big circles round and round (highways and U-turns, sigh!) to finally arrive at our destination...

With help from the compass on the left bottom of the picture (thanks to GoogleEarth services) I shall recall my journey. See from the new unit, we came out onto a highway leading us south-east. We traveled for a distance until we came to a U-Turn and took it, now the highway is leading us to where we came from, so north-west we go... Zzz... The fun has not even begun yet. We travel almost the length of the highway, coming to a roundabout where we did our second U-Turn. Then we came to the straight that we started, but at a different point. We travel south-east again (Sigh!) until we came to a junction on our left and take 2 left turns. After that, we drove north again to, do yet another U-Turn before traveling south to, finally, turn into his apartment. Damn it! It was damn far! LOL! We were always overshooting our destination before making a round back... Damn the road system!

By the way, packing up stuffs were nice. We turn on the TV (some Korean drama I seldom indulge in) and worked. But yet, my clumsy GF did not fail to hurt me again. She was pushing something to me and I was about to receive that box when suddenly--OUCH! I looked down at where it hurts and... zzz...

there's a scratch on my ---what's that again--- my small metacarpophalangeal joint... My GF was VERY apologetic... But I was already bleeding... Aihz! I had to console her, and vice-versa... But later I got a good revision on the coagulation cascade and all the "platelet clot+fibrin+serum+acute inflammation" stuff...

Anyway the day ends peacefully (other than some housemate skirmishes, my GF side of course...)

Decision Making, The Process and The Sequel

Decisions... Bah!

So many decisions in our life, just like the one poem by some Frost guy, a path diverge into two in the woods... Which one do you take?

Huah & JE


And it sure comes to one day when you look back at some point of your life, where you find yourself at the crossroads in a desolate yet hope-filled place, alone... Don't know where both path would lead you, 'cept for a badly constructed roadsign giving the slightest hint...

We made the choice, and moved on.. Can't be stuck at the crossroads forever in our life.


But somehow later in life, which might be now, later tonight, or tomorrow, next week, god knows when, we look back over our shoulders, and wonder, 'What if I had taken the other path? What would had happened? Where would I be now?' That Frost's poem really strikes me hard... But I think his is more towards choosing and wondering, instead of wondering the already made decision, like I do...

Something in life cannot be brought back, memories that will stay on forever, photos that reminds you of what you really were before you evolved into yourself today, and last but not least, good friends long gone, thousand of miles away... I was thinking, most decisions can be remade, nothing is 100% irreversible (as long as you don't do anything drastic) but of course there's a catch... Dire consequences... So?

Sometimes we lived in heaven for too long, and get bored of our daily built-in routine. Not to say that we lead miserable lives, but we had gotten used to our perfect, wonderful life until we got tired of it unconsciously... Then the decisions come back to haunt you... Should I repick my choices which I had already done years ago? Is it too late?

What would had happened if I try to reverse it?

Should I take the risks?

See, it's another decision to make again... Sigh!

First Love

They say that the first love of your life is the sweetest one, not to mention the most unforgettable one...

Well, for us who had moved on beyond those days, seldom do we dwell on what we had done during our first affection. Normally, the one who truly loved cannot be friends after break-ups, but some had managed to get over the hu-ha-gay-embarrassing factor, and remain good friends.

Do we still like each other? If we could only forgive each other for what we had done in the past... Even then, the moment just wouldn't come back (though sometimes you feel that the feeling persists)

Forgiving each other... Easy... But do we wish to cast our daily live away for that old live that we had once went through? Are we supposed to feel good about forgiving each other and pursue the past instead of catching the future?

Is it fair to the other parties?

Sometimes I wonder............... Am I thinking too much?? Too much work made me a gay guy!
