Chin-up and no worry!

We’re there. The new year of 2012 is coming after today’s midnight.

Many things had taken place during the last one year. All; good or bad, had somehow affected our life.

In our family, the last two elders, a pair of husband and wife sister and brother-in-law of my great grandfather, had went away to meet their Maker. They were separated in this world for about 2 months apart when she was the first to be called. I can understand but would never fill his shoes the agony he went through after she passed away. Surely, there must be a big blank in his life since she was there for him for about 60 years. Anyway, their passing did left a big blank in my life since I was very close to both of them. They were always there to cheerish me; as simple as whenever I came back for holidays from boarding school, they would came for visits and would always brought something, that's the way they showered me with love. Such a love that I would never forget.

Anyway, thank God, I am very much content with myself now. Yes, there are many unsettled things but then again, we shall be thankful for many other things. Looking at the bright side of life or being optimistic is a way to live happily in this world. I’ve accepted the fact of life that life is not always fair and we can never get all that we want. The least that we can do is to face the obstacle, take it in stride and then keep walking. There will be scar if we’re hurt, but the scar will only become big if we put it under our everyday life radar and keep looking at it using the microscope or even under  the cheap magnifying glass.

Be happy guys, we’re still alive! Keep our chin-up and run over the troubles!

Conscience and friendship are at war!

We are having problem. ‘WE’ here means my conscience and the ‘logic me’ are at the cross road of deciding of which to define. It involved two friends and a condition.

What would you say if after you write two proposals, one accepted and the other was rejected; were combined together with some alteration by someone else (a friend – and without your knowledge), BUT, almost 70% of it is similar, just change the material, submitted and approved by the higher authority? You, on the other hand was not even acknowledge and don’t know about it, a thing, until someone else mentioned it.

I will surely piss off. It was like robbing an intelectual property.

I still can’t stomach that a friend can do that to another friend.

The ‘friend’ equation in me is still trying to negotiate that probably it was untrue or if it was true, the second chance shall be given.

But the ‘principle’ me is shouting, “That’s it! Finito!”

Pity them both.

One seems to loss the integrity and also a friend in the quest of ............ (I don't reall sure here!)

The other is mending a heartache of knowing that a friend is no longer can be considered a ‘close friend’.

Above all, the ‘middle-friend’ lost sleep because of this and yet, no one pitied. Hey! Can I say that I am the real victim in this case?

Ops! The conscience whispered, “Narcissist!”
