If you think you have been hurt, then what about me? I have gone through heaven and hell countless times.
Maybe you are forgetting your own lesson. Before you criticize someone, look at yourself in the mirror before doing so. Everyone has their faults, but shouldn't we overlook these faults and concentrate on the positive points?
Some people tend to say things directly, not thinking of the consequences of their words. Have you ever thought about how the other party will feel? You may not be good with words, but think before you speak. Alternatively, try being more tactful. People tend to accept positive criticism more easily as compared to harsh words.
Then again, a person with sweet words and seemingly kind actions may not necessarily be good, while another with a vicious tongue may be doing so for your own benefit. The perfect scenario: A truly sincere man (or woman) who has an excellent choice of words.
Here ends my rant for the day...

More beautiful memories...
It all started on Friday night, when Hui Shi msg-ed me regarding the birthday present I owed her. A jacket at Espirit caught her eye and she hopes (or rather, wants) me to sponsor 50% of it. When she asked if I would be free to accompany her to go shop for it on Saturday, I amazed myself by rejected her! Well... partly due to work commitments and an appointment made with friends.
Anyway, I ended up sponsoring 50% of the jacket on Sunday evening. I have to admit it looks cool, but I thought that the pink version would be more "kawaii". Oh well, as long as she likes it, that is enough satisfaction for me. I can't wait till later today, where I get to take a photo of her wearing that jacket. :P
Now we move away from my love life. I had initially scheduled an outing with friends on Monday, which was then postponed to Saturday evening, and eventually cancelled. Sometimes, I hate it when people tell me they have something on at the very last minute, causing disruptions to my plans. If you give me a valid reason, my fustrations and anger will be reduced, but please don't ever tell me you can make it and then come up with some bulls**t excuse. You know who you are.
I have a craving to go visit Japan or any other snow-receiving countries. I wish to find out how Christmas is like in these countries, preferably with a loved one by my side. Sigh, I must be watching too much anime... However, I doubt I can do so this year, even if my finances allow me, but attendence at remedial training sessions is compulsory. I don't wish to get into trouble with the army...
Hence, my rant ends here.

Same old Eddery...
Same old Eddery, same old love problems.
Working with Hui Shi on the LTA project, over the past two days at Tan Queen Lan Street, was a new experience, but I doubt my memories of it would be too fond. On Friday evening, we had a heart to heart talk during dinner and once again, my feelings for her go unreciprocated. To a certain extent, I am used to it since I already know her feelings towards me. However, I still can't help but feel jealous about the new guy in her life, especially when he called while I was with her. It is obvious that he is going after her. Then again, Pride and Envy have always been my greater sins, so there is a chance that I am being over-suspicious.
I wonder if I will be able to hang out with Hui Shi and speak to her on the phone as often once she gets attached, as compared to the current situation. For now, I can only be content with the time spent with her and treasure these memories.
On a side note, frankness is one of Hui Shi's stronger points, but at the same time, it is also one of her weakest. She may not know it herself, but telling the truth outright can hurt the other party at times. Not that I am encouraging others to hide the truth; instead, they should find tactful ways to put things across to the other party.
Whenever I feel down, I have a tendency to watch either anime or drama serials. However, I have come to realize that life isn't a bed of roses and happy endings do not come by as frequently as protrayed in such programmes. Looking at those romantic storylines, will a character be truly content just because the person s/he loves is happy? Man has always been selfish; they always want the best for themselves, and I find it difficult to believe that someone will actually give the love of his/her life to another person willingly...
Another step towards darkness. Evil, more evil, most evil. Wicked, more wicked, most wicked...

A tinge of jealousy and comfort...
I was chatting to Hui Shi earlier on and she mentioned about a new guy asking for her number during her motorbiking lessons. In fact, he has already called her. Even though I don't stand any chance (hopefully, there is some) of being with her, my feelings still linger and a tinge of jealousy crept into me upon hearing this news. However, her claims of having no interst in him (at least for now) gave me some comfort. Looking on the bright side, it means I have good taste in girls too! :P
Sigh, affairs of the heart are always so difficult to understand. The Melancholy of Eddery Oon...
Ever get the feeling of being cold, wet and hungry? I did last weeek, while performing the pedestrian count project outside Shaw Towers on Saturday afternoon. Not only was it raining heavily, the wind was strong and my stomach rumbling. To sum it up, the word is "miserable".
Just when I receive a substanial amount of salary, the whole set of Love Hina on offer at the Tian Di branch of Toa Payoh had to be sold off. I really ought to have bought it last month. Sob... my lovely Shinobu...
Fortunately, the haze seems to have subsided for today. It was really bad over the past two days, especially at night. I could detect the "ash-y" smell during my vehicle count at Bugis. I pray it will never return, or hopefully, not any time soon. Human beings should really do more to save our beloved Earth.
