after all these years

yesterday night was a special one, i met my old friend! as old as 7 to 8 years.

to say this world is small, it is a false statement. come on, if it is really that small, yamapi should be my neighbor then! :p

anyway by the fate we both ended up working at Singapore, and his house is nearby my office and home, so then i say, why not catch up somewhere nearby, and it is at little india area. so then it is only natural to feed on indian food at little india right?

this old friend of mine is a unique one, coz yesterday night was the first time i met him.

hahaha, oh well, we are friend thanks to internet and IRC, and it is funny that he is the only one left since that time that i still keep in touch with. from IRC to yahoo messanger to friendster to msn to facebook.

it is not that we always chat though. normally it is like, after few months then suddenly we msn each other and talk lots of things. but that's how we catch up with each other and manage to keep contact.

of course i tried not to think too much about it, but while waiting for him, there's odd and exciting feel at the same time, and mix of little bit of worry.

but it turns out well -all to thanks to his talkactiveness. hahahha, seriously adrian! you talked non stop and at such a speed, but i am really grateful eh! otherwise...it would be dreadfully awkward.

and also thanks, for stay in touch, for spending some time to meet up, and also for the interesting talks, now i know that's the different between new friend and old friend.

and i wont forget your most interesting sentence, after rolling your eyes and tilting your head sideway -say, 'bukan hubungan yang gampang'

HAHAHAHAHA~

oh, let's meet up again! with meke too! but please, no more indian food!

it's the 3rd day on FB diet,

feel it the most after lunch hour.

just like now. after tum tum full with nice food. we ate pizza just now, and there's still one more piece just next to my table with aircon blowing the smell onto my face.

Aslan said, "have courage dear little heart"

last but not least, my dinner date -keiran.
hahhahhahhahhahaahhaa

he insisted for me to sit there, and he picked the seperated table from the rest.
the father said i looks like his favourite kindergarden teacher.
he is currently 5 years old.

interesting trip ^^

because we have different eyes

that's why we see things differently. and the different input being process differently, and so we think differently.

which is, just natural, in this big wide world.

anyway i went to batam for weekend trip. and made me think quite alot. on marriage and having kids. hahhaa, aish, of course it is still a long way to go for me, but it doesnt stop one from thinking about it right?

anyway 4 members of the 14 persons trip were babies, toddler and kid. from 2 families.

to put things into shorter format, let's say im gaining insight on why my mom from my childhood memories is a fierce, strict, hardly smile, and harsh in her words.

i grow up becoming a timid and shy and non-expressive kid, the one that's least adorable in the group.

be a lenient parents, and you produce an expressive, loud, and loveable kid.
be a strict parents, and you produce a polite, and good in following orders- kid.

the insight was, comparing how these two families handles their babies, i see the difference it made.

the complication is this, everybody loves the expressive kid, but none love the bratty spoiled one. but to me it seems to be a -package- you give treatment X, you get the result and side effect. that kind of idea.

seems that all will be left to the characters of the kids themselves. just like how different my bro and i, growing up in the same family.

but still, my conclusion (for today) is kid needs guidances. bratty one no matter how adorable needs to be teached. so yes, in my opinion it is very much up to the guardians.

Going home
