This was supposed to be posted at 9am.. But for some reason I couldn't access Blogger from the office. =(



Ok it is impossible to write a serious limerick. Because the essence of a limerick is humour and wit, and there's no such things as somberly funny.

I wear a large smile to work today
And it won't fade away, come what may
It's 'most time to be free
Go on a shopping spree
Because hooray, Thank God It's Friday!
=D


It's amazingly easy to take someone for granted. Especially someone who is always there for you, who takes care to make sure that you eat well, sleep well and live well. Who cooks for you, washes your clothes, keeps your room clean. Who always has you at the back of her mind, and tries to accomodate you in everything she does.

Some lucky bastards have 2 such people in their lives, but all of us have at least one. And, all the commercialised shit aside, at least the reticent ones among us have an excuse to let her(them, for the lucky bastards) know how much we love and appreciate her(them).


On hindsight, the person I spoke to at length last night shouldn't read what's below lah, dun want to affect your mood and all, but I feel 不平 for you and I just gotta say this.

And I just gotta say this: when a person does something wrong, s/he cannot just expect the wronged party (wrongee? =P) to get over it. Because although the wrongee should be gracious and do so, the wronger should be sorry also, and should express appropriate remorse (which is usually as simple as a sincere "Sorry"). Because, at least for me, the large black mark will not be given because of the wrong, but due to the lack of explicit remorse which seems to communicate a lack of regard, understanding and empathy for me and my feelings. It's not something I'd expect even from an acquaintance, much less anybody of higher "status".

On a parallel track, it's not always "Sorry" for doing something wrong, sometimes it's "Sorry" for not doing anything right..
