今の大切な物。。。(*^.^*)

just some thoughts before i forget about them

AHS forum is back after a server switch that took about a day and a half to complete. Benny is a very happy person. (*^.^*)

evolution105-san from the forum just completed work on a trilogy that he had been working on for 3 years. Can you imagine, writing away for 3 years about the same ideas and storyline? Most people would have given up 3 days into it I think. He's also working on a few poems and another short story now. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see some of your works on the shelves in bookstores soon!

Which brings me back to my own little project...it seems to be going ahead very slowly at the moment. But now's not the time for heads to drop, let's continue to work hard, I'm sure something good will come out of it! 頑張りましょう！

And also, alternarist-san (a fellow Singaporean I might add) returned from an overseas trip to teach English to the kids in Khao Lak, Thailand. He showed quite a few of the pictures he had taken during his time there, and I must say it was quite an eye-opener, especially the photos taken at a makeshift mortuary for the victims of the tsunami 2 years ago. Yes, quite a few of these bodies haven't been collected/acknowledged still, and they were being kept in ice-filled containers. I don't think words can describe the very strange feeling that one gets when he/she sees containers upon containers of dead bodies, it's very surreal.

A few years ago, I probably wouldn't have cared much about these things though, but I guess the things that have happened during this time has opened my eyes and made me rethink about things that I thought weren't important to me.

Eh? Suddenly this has become another of those posts about self-reflection. Strange.

what's this i'm going to put here???

I was going to have a proper title for this entry but somehow I forgot what I was going to put there as I was about to type it in. It's just like you walked into a room but forgot why you went there. Don't you think such things always happen?

Anyway, I've heard people say that it's not very wise to take pictures of yourself in the mirror, because it apparently gives your soul a very big scare, especially when you use a flash.

0.0! So to the many people who have caught up with this trend, stop chasing away your souls by taking pictures in the toilet mirror!

This post is going nowhere really, I'm even forgetting what I'm supposed to say now. Good night! \(`0`)/

taking back my words

Last night I had to pay a visit to the doctor again. There's a flu epidemic in the office now, so I guess it was inevitable that I was going to get the bug.

While waiting for my medicine, I saw the prescriptionist lady (the people who give you your medicine are prescriptionists right?) cough and sneeze. Thank goodness she was wearing a mask, I think the clinic has more than enough germs and viruses already.

However, it also suddenly dawned upon me how brave healthcare workers are. They face people who bring all kinds of terrible sickness and germs with them everyday, and yet they never show any fear of getting illness and diseases. In fact, they offer smiles to comfort every ailing person who's come to seek treatment, and all the while knowing that they may have a higher chance of ending up just like us being ill. There are so many things in this field that can bring a person down, and yet they soldier on, with a smile ever so ready.

So to the poor prescriptionist I criticised the other day, please pardon my ignorance! T_T

Here's a salute to the brave healthcare workers around the world! <(-_-) God bless all of you!
