Man.. i sure do hope I will enjoy my next 6 weeks of an even more crazy joyride! There will definitely be lots of downs but hope that the little ups will keep me going & motivated to reach the end point.

Where do jealous hearts go? Nowhere.

I am happy that people stopped by and wished me. I am happy that some people surprised me with a phonecall. I am happy that I've got a call from someone, who was already asleep and woken up just to call me. I am happy to receive a call from someone who I didn't really expect to call. Not to mention I'm happy that i've got sms-es from ppl. I'm happy that i've been sung 'Happy birthday' to, 3 times in a day, by the same group of people. I'm happy that I got my wish, to not celebrate my birthday this year. So why should I feel ... jealous? Maybe the word i'm looking for is 'envy'. I envy they have friends who surprise them for their b'day. =) I am happy for them that they've had a great b'day. Hehe... Hey, i have no regret saying I had a great day on my b'day too, because just throwing all the superficial stuff away, it's nice just to get wishes from people and no melodrama. It's a nice change. So all in all, after blabbing a paragraph or two, I realise this was what I wanted (but i didn't tell anyone) and I got it. I should be happy. This made me (again) realise I should prioritise the people in my life. Priotise what is important in my life. I was given a wake up call earlier this year (January to be specific) about what is important in my life. I started not taking things for granted, taking people for granted. I started cherishing the simple things people did for me. It may mean very little to them but it means a great deal to me. Someone said along the lines of, 'it's real relationship that matters; none of the superficial materialistic stuffs add to the relationship'. I agree to a certain degree with that statement but hey, u gotta show you care for someone (even friends) sometime by giving them something which is termed as 'materialistic item'. I guess what I'm trying to say is, everything has its balance; too much of something is no good and too little of something is no good either. But sometimes words from someone are just plain rubbish but on the other hand, words from another person may be just the greatest gift (maybe not greatest la but greatest from her/him) to you.

So I cherish different people differently. Depends how they cherish me also.
