things u never know u'd miss...
until you've stopped having them...
until after a period of absence,
they return into your life.

like the company of my dearest housemate
on a beautiful saturday
cleaning our beloved apartment together (with Jay singing in the back ground *grinz*)
walking to the city together
meeting up with the rest
and getting abandoned by them :(

like the therapeutic effects of cleaning and scrubbing
of mirror-like tiles and sparkling clean kitchen tops
letting the whir of vacuum cleaner drown out all other sounds
concentrating on the task at hand
and the surge of endorphins from the physical activity

like chatting till 3am on MSN
with a friend whom i've lost touch for too long
and a friend whom i've missed having by my side
as i talked to each of them
in the dead silence of the early morning
loneliness left my room
replaced by a warm, fuzzy sense of friendship
of companionship through an ADSL modem.

been receiving alot of compliments lately on MSN cos of the photo i put up. i feel like a big cheater, cos that photo is the result of germaine's good hair styling skills, my mediocre make-up skills and germaine's Canon Ixus camera.

AFTER:


though i must say my self-esteem is getting a lot of booster shots from the compliments *guaffaw* still, i wanna clarify that i look like the BEFORE pic 99.99999999% of the time. haha..ahh, such a disappointment eh?
