i was confused and scared
Din know whether to pursue or wait
Eventually i decided " what the heck!"

Smsed you to ask you how you are, u din replied.
"guess, it's because is late" i figured
You smsed me the next day " how was the meeting"
Colleagues was wondering why i was grinning

Suddently, the smses stopped.
I panicked and din know what to do.
"Was i into it too deep" i asked myself
" Where did i do wrong?" " Why?"
Millions questions came and go, with no single answer to be found

I found myself keep listening to a song over and over ago
My mind thinking of you as the song keeps on playing

SAw you in the office today, you made a comment about my "new haircut"
we smiled and walked past each other.

i wanted to say more but i lost the thought.
"what happened? was the onli thing that's in mine mind?"

Should i be sad for something that had never happened?

got this from one of my colleagues today. was rather surprised that he sent such an email out. i had always tot that he was an cold unfeeling person. However, after receiving the email from him, my preceptive of him changed a bit...

Personally i find the content below rather reflective of us nowadays. Sometimes, with all the distractions around us, we tend to lose our focus in life...

Coffee or Coffee Cup
A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together tovisit their old university Professor.Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the Prof went to the kitchen and returned witha large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic, glass,some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to helpthemselves to hot coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said "Ifyou noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups were taken up, leavingbehind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to wantonly the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems andstress. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but youconsciously went for the better cups and are eyeing each other's cups.""Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position in society arethe cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, but the quality ofLife doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we failto enjoy the coffee in it."So friend, don't let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead

This year is the 1st time in my life that i can vote. Initally i was quite excited by it, however after thinking through and chatting with a couple of friends. I am actually quite disappointed by the whole prospect of voting. I am disappointed over a few things, which was quite different from my intial reaction as being able to become one of the few singaporean to enjoy the full package of being A SINGAPOREAN (not many singaporean got a chance to vote you know!). There's justa few things that i am really troubled by:

1. Who are we actually voting for? Are we voting for a minister or a MP who can really care about us - the heartlanders? Someone who actually stayed in the constituency and know the in and out of the people staying there...but the sad thing is we do not have many of these running for election. Although i do not have any specific numbers i am very sure that most of them stayed in condos or bunglows and not HDB flats. furthermore, when we had actually ministers running the election, the line become very blurred as in are we voting for a MP or a Minister. This is because due to the many directorships and the busy work schedules of our Ministers, we do not see much of them around the constituencies which they are representing. I am sure they do not know the people as well as they ought to. However, are they really doing a bad job? From a microscopic point of view, maybe he/she is but from a macrrscopic point of view he could be doing a brillant job as a minister so how and on what basis are we supposed to credit or discredit him?

2. The lack of worthy oppositions - simply said, some of the party memebers just simply cannot make it. I really think that they are more suitable for the triads.

3. The fear factor. Despite the repeat assurance that voting is sacred and secretive, many of us still felt that the GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE. With that in mind, how many of us really dare to vote for the opposition even if there's really a very suitable one?

So if you really think about it....how can u not be disillusionized by the whole voting thing?
