the rest of your life

7.8km in 48min. that pretty fast for my standard.  stopped twice to blow my clogged nose.  2 cans of 100plus.  dinner with frens, and am feeling happy and satisfied.

looking at the papers today (Malaysia's racial/political issues, , I suddenly felt grateful about how we have society that tolerates multiple races and multiple religions so well.  The emphasis on respect for others cannot be understate, SM Goh seems to hold this issue closer to heart than our current one, where economic development has become sort of a representation of him, at least that what i think.

when in doubt, surround yourself with friends.  when feeling lost or down, do the same.  but real friends only.  it takes a single & available person to say this -- that you live for yourself, and for your dreams.  But your life, it is shared, it is not yours entirely.  You share your life with your family, your colleagues, strangers, your friends, lovers along the way, and hopefully the one whom you want to share the rest of your life with.  Such a complicated concept. You live for yourself but you share your life with someone. So if she shares the same sentiments, how does it work.  "I live for myself, you live for yourself, but we love each other and want the companionship and want to be together." 

I have been told that I appear to be in a daze recently.  That is not true. I just don't like to look into peoples' face when I go out.  My brain has this selective face/body recognition that only alerts me when some people are detected.  These some people are usually friends and people I like more.  So, if I do find you in a crowd, it must mean something.  If not, maybe I'm just a bit blur.  Or if there's a million people in the room, my brain and eyes can't so the 'where's wally' trick that well.

They should have some status in msn/yahoo messenger/what ever IM available that says "disturb (or more politely will be 'send me a message') if you are in my 'liked' list".  Or maybe next time they will let you rate your own list of contacts according how much you like each of them, and there will be this special function that when activated, shows your status differently to different contacts, according to the level of 'likeness'.  BUT, of cos you will be in some friendship problem when your friends start comparing the different statuses that you appear in their messenger.  A disliked person will see you in a DND mode while some one you like ALOT will see you with a blinking "MESSAGE ME" status that is screaming for attention.

Ha, another crappy idea pulled out of my brain, i hope there is less crap remaining.
