Hmm... i have a blog on Friendster which I had not updated for a long while. Due to being tired of thinking and writing after a day's work. I enjoy writing my thoughts and feelings freely... hate it when i realise they are being read by some people. I mean, i do realise my blogs will be read, but when certain people read it, i find i could not write freely... anyway, my friendster blog has been linked to my facebook, as i had not been on friendster since a long time back, only go on it to blog.
Anyway, i am new to this website, just started yesterday. Am pleasantly surprised to find this website. I was online looking for something on Sammy Hung and ah-ha, here i am. I wonder what i would find here or learn here.
Today is Vesak Day. I had met up with a college mate whom i had not seen since beginning of this year. He revealed that he learnt last month that his kidneys have failed and is waiting for a transplant. He has been undergoing dialysis since last year and I felt sad to hear his condition had worsen. This friend of mine could confide some of his feelings and thoughts to me. He rationalises it as the fact that i studied psychology and i could listen and offer some advice (which he might not take, hahah). I can feel his depressed feelings but, as I know, as you know, the only way a person can get help is when he is ready to get help and when he himself wants to. I could only listen, empathise and bring to his attention what options he has and decide himself. I wish him all the best.
I accompanied my mom to the temple after that. I usually only go with my mom. I am not sure why. Maybe the crowd, maybe an uncertainty. I only prayed for my health as I have been falling ill quite often these 2 months and for my family and good friends to be well. A thought came to me, something that someone important kept saying to me but i could not understand. Something about "not to be too attached to him". I was not sure who was him. But today, i had a vague inkling - someone whom i like and who likes me too but we live and work in 2 different countries, different timezones. We cant be said to be in a relationship. Is he whom 'gugu' is talking about?
Then when this idea came into my mind, i had another thought. If i have to be alone for the rest of my life, the rest of my life would be about accepting, having peace in my heart and mind, doing i can for the people that matter to me and being responsible to whom i am helping now and in fact, it is about having courage, finding my own happiness and that would be my daily challenge. To be the best that i can be, with dignity and integrity, and sincerity. Now, that is one very hugh task i have to take on to the very last day, as I accept the outcome of 'gugu's' advice - detachment.
Well, that is a lot for my first blog. I am not sure who would read it. I hope i could write freely here. And I wil try to maintain this blog if i get some motivation. Haaha, ya, i do realise that sounds like a contradiction. Well, this is me. And I am signing off here, for now. Till the next time, "be well, do good and keep in touch".
P/S: I like quotes, so i would use them at times and i will use quotation marks to indicate that I might not have came up with them first ;)
