12th May 2009, Tuesday

Days were gloomy for more than a month...
when life seems to be meaningless, friends came around and it was very comforting to know that there were many others who can share their laughters with me throughout those days...
I guess it's no harm to experience extreme depression once in a long while...
it opens up my mind tremendously to feel the intensity of the contradicting emotions...
i don't really know what am i writing anymore, cos it's been quite some time since i'm engaged in deep, meaninful, positive thoughts...

the main point is, i am truly grateful to have friends...
i had never felt so deep appreciation towards friendship...
in the midst of me giving stress to myself, constantly pressuring myself, and having really pessimistic thoughts of my future, they made great companies...
they tried to understand, even if they don't, they were very supportive...
i am glad that i had a bunch of friends who are very positive and encouraging and genuine...

Penang trip with my wives were superb in giving me an emotional boost...


They were people whom i can talk to in regards to anything under the sun...
They were never judgemental towards me...
I am truly lucky to have them by my side...
Each of them is different, but unique...
Let me show you one...


And this is the group pic in Penang...
Thanks Gwen for the accomodation and all...


After the trip i had 3-days work with Magnolia...


Then had Early Mother's Day celebration as Kau Fu's going to NY for 20days work...
I so love my family...
Especially my kau fu...
He was the only male role model for me when i was young...
and he did a great job...


Then when i was really down under, i had no outlet, no one to go to...
That's when Aple came to the pic...
She is a very sincere friend...
Thanks Aple for doing everything you did...
If it wasn't you, i guess i still can't get out of that pit...
Aple brought me all the way up Genting...
And that was me camwhoring with her car and her...


Then we met Gwen and Yuki and Boss up there...
It was pure luck...
And the feeling was so great meeting them there...
Gwen's one of those who can make me teary if i see her during my bad days...
don't really know why...


Then it's Johor trip with shanna, hui ru, kwang, and mei mei...
With good food, and good travel companions, who can be depress any longer?


They brought me to KOPI 434 to buy some KOPI O...


Then had bak kut teh in the morning...
and yes shanna, hui ru's dad's awesome!
so were ur dad, and mom, and hui ru's mom...
All were so friendly and welcoming...
and both of you were very good host...


i had eye-bag...


it was a sungai, not sea...


nana's passion fruit tree...


nana's grass


nana's house...






I was worried at first...
Cos i was kinda the last-minute passenger, and i wasn't sure whether i can cope with my own emotion so not to spoil the whole trip for others...
I was uncertain of how well i can control myself...
yet, it was effortless..
everyone of them was cheerful, humorous, and good enough for everything...
i really do appreciate all of you girls, and erm... guy... =)

On mother's day, me, mom, and grandma went for dinner..
it was simple, but nice...
and i love them all...


in between moments, i had some time out with esther and vincent...
and thought of many others who had been in my life...
friends are really great...

i went to genting... played bowling...


took photo with horsey...


and a camel (right? no i think it's still horsey...)


with who?
i had no idea how to address him anymore....
