Don't Know Why

Don't know why...

1) Much has happened but none is blogged
2) When what's been fervently wished and hoped for finally materialises, the supposed sense of euphoria/happiness /betterment of attaining it almost never follows ... unlike in those wishes
3) It's sometimes easier to confide in someone you barely know than share those woes and sentiments with people who understand you the most
4) A relationship can withstand the toughest times, long distances apart but collapses when both are together in the same place again
5)What insignificant people say influences , affects and crushes but the advice of those dear ones fall on deaf ears and are disregarded
6) Pride is swallowed, forgiveness given, sweet and mushy msges uttered generously to casual frens but are hardly dispensed to close frens
7) When problems crop up, some close frens are more susceptible to slip to become strangers than casual ones would
8) Love works in such a way that those who bring the greatest joy and share the most memorable times are also the ones who yield the power to cause the most pain and sadness

Sometimes, formulaes don't work, reasoning deviates and logic is overturned. Irony rears it heads to mock and taunt.
The unpredictability, inability to explain, nasty surprises and helplessness wears us thin and throws us off the balance.
Such that we irrationally brood and grieve over the wrong circumstances, aspire and chase the wrong successes, pledge our allegiance and try to please the wrong people, seek the wrong goals.

Lord, I pray for the clarity of mind and peace of spirit to know that all I have only to obey, seek and please You and all would fall into place.
It's that simple.

Yea.. The close ones usually bring the greatest happiness yet the most hurt... it's them who we fear judgement, rejection and at critical times.. we hold ourselves back...

I know this is inappropriate but I laughed really hard at point 5. I guess it's grim laughter really. At the sometime helplessness of it all.

hahaha. facial was almost 2h long. the lady was nice enuf i guess. but a bit too chatty for my liking. her skill was not bad tho.

but when she slathered the thick peppermint mask on my face, she made me a one-eyed jack for at least half hr cos she covered the entire right eye with the mask as well.

overall, i guess, it was quite an experience. but it kinda left my face oilier after that leh.

they tried selling the packages after that, not hard selling though. and they wanted to sell like 30 to 45 sessions all at once! imagine the price and except for the most basic package, the rest were well above my monthly pay.

haha. will i go again? i might go for facial again, but unlikely to return to that place lah. think it was too posh. heh.
