today, we had a long chat at night again, even though it was via bbm and not face-to-face. and hearing about other people's plights + the stories of some other couples, can only serve as a reminder to never ever take what we have now for granted.

think about it - the loved ones and the friends around us are all blessings. take them for granted, and one will understand the pain when they are no longer around.
it's like how i saw this recently: "before you complain about how far it is to drive there, think about those who have to walk the same distance."
taking even our daily privileges for granted, is probably a common habit amongst many in first-world societies today.

therefore, i shan't pass up on even the smallest things.
even though i have much to be grateful for these past 3 days (such as having helpful friends whilst i was settling my COE issues and online bike forum woes, a good chill-out supper session with hz which we haven't had in a long time, regain of substantial positivity back in life / banishment of the settling negativity, and even securing an honours thesis supervisor wayyy in advance), i just wanna' say that i was really glad for the long chats the past 2 nights... especially tuesday night when we wanted to go to sleep at 11 plus and ended up sleeping at 1-ish; i really enjoyed that entire period, of non-stop rambling about stratified and quota sampling.

guess it might not seem like a big thing, and instead, sound terribly boring and geeky even! but at the end of the day, when we talk like that, it just puts a warm feeling inside of me that i'm really glad to have.

can't explain it properly here, but from the following tweet i can safely assume that you enjoy that feeling as well (o:>

Life is like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay, some laugh with you, some at you, some didn't come. But in the end, after the fun, there would be a few who would stay and help clean up the mess with you. And most of the time, those were the ones who didnt even make the mess. - Unknown

so, let's not take those people for granted shall we.


rock my world into the sunlight
make this dream the best i've ever known
every second is a highlight
when we touch don't ever let me go
