"One can become lost in such work, and forget oneself. Or one can go even deeper, and find many recollections of that self."
- "Assassin's Quest" by Robin Hobb
Now that it's all said and done, I can't believe you were the one To build me up and tear me down, Like an old abandoned house. What you said when you left Just left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should've started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know. I'm slowly getting closure. I guess it's really over. I'm finally getting better. And now I'm picking up the pieces. I'm spending all of these years Putting my heart back together. 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls, Dragged the memories down the hall, Packed your bags and walked away. There was nothing I could say. And when you slammed the front door shut, A lot of others opened up, So did my eyes so I could see That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming. I should've started running A long, long time ago. And I never thought I'd doubt you, I'm better off without you More than you, more than you know.

"But I knew that anyone who cared to look would know that it was cheap. The whole thing was a commentary on who i was, what i was about, and what i was willing to accept in life.
That's what fashion does: It is designed to make a statement about a person.
It's sometimes argued that fashion is all about creation and construct. Not only are the clothes and shoes we wear, and the bags we carry, constructs of someone else's imagination, they are also the realisation of an idea, an inspiration brought to life by someone who has the know-how and skill to do so.
We in turn use these constructs to create an impression of ourselves, by assembling the bits and pieces together.
It's an amalgamation of various ideas, coming together into a whole that accurately (the key word is accurately) expresses on the outside what is within. That, in itself, is an act of creation and construction as well." - "My motto: Fashionably practical" by Jill Alphonso in mypaper 12 January 2010
Besides the fact that they "hijacked" my Facebook status, they also used it to hold illegal meetings to gossip about other people. -__-
But i also learnt that i have lots of friends who are looking out for me and are concerned about me. :)

Yesterday at 6:57pm JC has reluctantly resigned himself to his fate where his friends try and matchmake him. Lets hope the girls won't commit suicide or run away after seeing my face. :p
Yesterday at 8:37pm · JX whats wrong with your face?
Yesterday at 8:52pm · Mini-Terrorist One You wldnt let me and you allowed others??!! HRMPH!
Yesterday at 9:07pm · Me JX: My face is the big fugly thing sticking out of my neck. Did you not notice? xD Mini-Terrorist One: Lol... Like i said, i'm resigned to my fate. You can introduce if you want, but don't blame if your colleagues avoid you after finding out that you're keeping company with a fugly male. xD
Yesterday at 9:52pm · GN Eh, Jason, u r fine lah. Ur not going to date Ms Universe so u don't have to look like prince charming.
Yesterday at 10:32pm · SN Confidence. Half the battle is won. Choose Jason.
Yesterday at 10:36pm · Me GN: True, i'm not going to date Miss Universe. But whatever the case, first impression still counts doesn't it? :p SN: Choose? Whats there to choose?! xD
Yesterday at 10:57pm · WY All us guys need is a fat wallet. Just look at mine. o wait...
Yesterday at 11:12pm · JX If you think you are ugly, look at Dennis. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Cindy got married for 10 years liaoz. AN is still not married. Dennis got married. YH, DW and KJ still single/not married. First impression counts, so does every impression. Just do your best and relax. If someone only judge your based on impression, then she is not worth it anyway so why be so hard on yourself ;)
Yesterday at 11:13pm · JX No offence to mentioned parties
Yesterday at 11:16pm · YX yea, dennis has to be the benchmark man..wait, dennis is not on anybody's facebook, i hope Yesterday at 11:17pm · JX KY is his BEST friend!

13 hours ago · Me Man. You guys are on a roll sia. O.o My statements are all tongue-in-cheek, all in good humor. If i really believe that girls will commit suicide when they look at my face, then i should be consulting a psychiatrist / psychologist. Wayne: My wallet not fat enough. Engineers pay very little. I think even the cleaners have a higher pay than us. xD

""But you had not. You had just... stopped. In some ways. Oh, you were older and wiser, i suppose. But you had not made any move on your own to reach out to life again. But for your wolf, i think it would have been even worse."
"As it was, you were living like a mouse in a wall, off the crumbs of affection that Starling tossed to you. As thick-skinned as she is, even she could see it. She gave you Hap and you took him in. But if she had not brought him to your doorstep and dumped him there, would you have sought out anyone to share your life?"
He leaned closer to me and said, "Even after you came back to Buckkeep and your old world, you held yourself apart from it. No matter what i did or offered. Myblack. you couldn't even connect to a horse." - “Fool's Fate” by Robin Hobb
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): Yo. *strides in* How are things, man?
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): Pretty all right, actually. There hasn't been any major catastrophe, nor emotional distress.
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): Really? Why don't you give me a summary of what you've done? Seems like our Key Performance Index (KPI) has risen, so expectations are higher this time round.
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): *groan* Tell me about it. The same thing happened for my predecessor, 2008. He had so many things happening, that now it makes me look bad. *grumbles* He had a change of job, a short-term relationship and a brilliant trip to Taiwan with good friends. How on earth was i suppose to emulate that? *wails* I don't have a single relationship on my CV!
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): *pats back* There there. Things aren't so bad. I'm sure you have had some good things too.
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): *sniff* Well. Things certainly have improved for the job. He has felt slightly more at home and is doing something he thoroughly enjoys. There is so much to learn and the knowledge expansion is one of the reasons why he enjoys it.
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): *soothes* There. You see? That's a good thing, isn't it? Are there any more?
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): But... But... *wails* There wasn't a relationship! He did meet someone, but it didn't work out. *sobz* I was so hoping that it will work out, so i can add it to my CV! I mean, a relationship is a big thing on any CV, and i thought it will be my chance to show what i can do!
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): *taken aback* Erm... I'm sure it was for the best. Perhaps they are not meant to be together. They are still friends, right? That still counts for something, doesn't it?
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): *sniff* I guess so... *sniff*
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): *pats hand* Are there any more good things that happened?
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): Well. He did take up scuba diving and managed to get his Open Water and Advanced Open Water certification. *begins to cheer up* He really does like scuba diving and enjoyed the trips abroad.
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): That's good, that's good. Speaking of going abroad, were there any holidays?
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): Oh yes. He went to Hokkaido and had a pretty good time there. There were one or two places which he didn't really like. I mean, how entertaining can a sake factory or whiskey distillery be? *getting excited* Oh oh. And he saw snow for the first time and tried snow boarding for the first time too!
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): *getting worried about KPI* Wow. That's pretty awesome. Looks like i'll have my work cut out for me, on trying to emulate you.
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): Oh, don't worry. Seems like he has quite a number of friends wanting to go overseas. Plus, there seems to be a good long diving trip in the planning too. It promises to be a lot better than the ones i've had.
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): Really? That sounds pretty good. Lets hope all those talking and planning will turn into something concrete then.
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): I'm sure it will. Plus, his friends seems hell-bent on trying to get him a partner. *sniggers* Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): Really? His friends are really concerned about him, aye? I'm sure he appreciates their effort on his behalf. *rolls eyes*
Outgoing Twenty-Oh-Nine (2009): *clock chimes* Ah. The stroke of midnight! Here you go then. *passes the baton* Good luck! *fades out of view*
Incoming Twenty-Ten (2010): Thanks! *it's left pondering what will befall upon it*
