"Mother" Land

Well, been a long time since I updated anything.. Been real busy with trivial things. Haha.. Going out with friends, slacking, etc and now... I am in Malaysia! Well this time I'm away for a whole 10 days. I just spent 4D3N in Penang and now I'm back in KL. This time we are back to also celebrate my maternal grand-dad's 80th (actually 79th but they count chinese calendar) birthday. My grandparents seem to have really aged so its good that I come back to see them. Penang was nice but not exactly worth 4 days.. ended up watching Avatar & Bodyguards and Assasins back to back. 6 Ringgit each so its SG$2.50. Wonderful price for wonderful movies. Wonder how my friends are back in Singapore celebrating christmas. Must be clubbing or going for dinners or shopping. Really miss them....

Friends vs Acquaintances, Frog vs Toad

It has been said that no man is an island and indeed, we are but a thread woven into the fabric of the society. As such, the fellow threads that reside beside us along with those that cross our paths are given special consideration over those that just remotely line the corners. The term "Friend" has been used countless times for this group of people but how many really know the words they use? A friend is one you place close to heart, someone you want to talk to, a person who you are willing to sacrifice for. For others, I recommend the term "Acquaintance". The difference between "friend" and "acquaintance" is just like the difference between a frog and a toad. They appear to be the same and in actual fact they are greatly similar but they are in essence still two different entities. Maybe its time I re-define the parameters and accord people their proper names.
