LOVE, Kloudiia

If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in the dark with a mosquito.

~ Betty Reese

How many times have we secretly wished that we are the most popular guy or girl in class during school? Well, maybe not the most popular, but well-liked at least.

Acceptance is a “popular” value among many people. Don’t we hate the feeling to be ostracised by others? To be left alone while our peers huddle together in their tight inner circle, passing juicy titbits of gossips of people out of their clique. Many times you wonder if you were one of the subject topics among them.

Stuart sighed as I stepped into the room last night.

K: “Why?”

S: “Facebook is down. I can’t log in.”

K: “Oh is it?” turning my head to check it out on his laptop and saw the “error loading” page.

“Oh ya… ha ha ha!”

S: “Hai…” shaking his head.

K: “So …  are you going into depression now?”

S: — — —

I had lost my mobile on three occasions: pick-pocketed twice and carelessly left it in the toilet of a very small pub once.

In all the three times, I discovered the loss very quickly – within five minutes of it being gone. Equally swift was the pair of hands that landed on my prized possession at the other end.

The dreadful message announcing the phone has been switched off when I called myself means I have received the death sentence for my mobile. It is gone forever from me.

I didn’t plan to watch it. In fact, I had resolved not to watch it because it’s 1) probably too long and 2) going to upset me.

But on those few nights when I watched it with my mother, I realised that it might be a drama worth following after all.

Why?

Because it’s a vivid portrayal of life.

Heart of Greed, the Hong Kong mega TV drama showing now on Channel 8 depicts life as it truly is. Revolving around a rich family, this drama tells a riveting tale of how being rich is a boon, while having a heart of greed turns all the wealth into a bane.

How did my mum come up with number in the first place?

It all began with this …

Hubby had been craving to sing for some time. Due to some incidences and circumstances, his wish hadn’t been fulfilled.

Finally, we found a window of time to sing on this Sunday. 3 hours was all we got. So, I asked my mum along and she readily agreed. Well, rather hesitantly I would say. After all, she was afraid that she might be “in our way”. How unfounded her worries are! The microphone will be in the way, practically all the time haha!

Nothing much to say… except to leave some footprints in the cyberspace on a special day like this.

And to use this opportunity to express my gratitude for what I have – God, family, friends and good health.

Ah, speaking of health. I have been suffering from very bad rashes with severe skin inflammation for the past week due to an allergy. Fortunately, spare for the itch that’s driving me crazy, I’m still hale and hearty (and doing my best to be happy and optimistic!!!!)!

May all your wishes come true and may you enjoy good health too!
