no matter what has happened, the heart is still.
like a mirror of the ocean.

future

who is she?

she

she has submitted her letter and will be leaving on 20th April 2011.
that's will be 8 days left, and she will be back to her country for a break.
when we heard the news, our mind went blank and we could not think too much.

finally she has decided to leave for good.
and we knew that we will not be seeing her for a long, long time.

her good friend also found a good offer she could not resist and will be leaving on the same day.

after sometime, we realized it is good. finally our heartache person has gone.
finally.

still

many things have happened recently.
colleagues have been leaving one by one, and soon the group is broken into pieces and from the things we have seen, it will become nothing in the end.
well, we have encouraged our colleague to take the leap as we have seen and heard from her that she has not been compensated for the efforts she has placed for the past year.
she did not have the share option after she has submitted.
and she has been working for 6 years and got minimum increments.

it is sad to see someone with us for the past few years and suddenly she is gone to other places.
soon, another colleague will be leaving.
alas.

it's been a long while

it's been a long while since we wrote.
actually there are many things happened during this period.
and we learnt that we have to change our attitude.
we could not see our mistakes, but others could.

and we knew that we cannot be stubborn, anymore and accept the truth

a year later Part II

we have found pieces of notes which we have travelled to malaysia during LNY last year,2010.
it was the beginning of the difficult days and we have no idea how tough it was, until we reached the point.
well, as we laughed at ourselves on the days we cried, sobbed and angry, it was extremely difficult to get rid of the things once it was inside our heart.

but we did, and came out to a changed, new person, indeed.

a year later

time passes quickly and it is already a year.
when we glanced back the difficult days, we can laughed at ourselves and our obsessions in carrying on the relationship, knowing it has no real ending.
so, our valentine day became a sad day, not only for us and her as well.

a year later, we did not speak each other and she had her old Indian boyfriend who will be her 2nd husband. she was separated and had two teenagers.

on the hindsight, why did we get into this mess in the first place?
love.

the pleasure of love last for a moment.

changes

when the things exist, it will change forever, just like love.
when the things do not exist, it do not change.
just like our heart, it will stay the same, yesterday, today and forever.

when things change, our hearts change as well.
that was in the past, and now we have also change.
when things change, our hearts did not change.

a new beginning

a brand new year,
the best year yet to be, and
every year is the best year, no matter what had happened, we still smiled.
whether in times of difficulty or happier times.
and we did not give a damn about it,anymore.

future

looking back, Part VIIII

we have promised and it is done, finished and come to past, much to our relief and surprises that it ended so quickly.
we have assumed we may have to continue further and further.

and we counted ourselves fortunate to leave the relationship when we sense it did not worked out. we have many conflicts and they are simply unreasonable.

now we knew, and we knew and we knew how tough a relationships could go.
not an easy matter, alas.

here we are, letting go of yesterday and moving on to the future, cherishing the present precious moments we have.

what's more can we say?

Looking back, Part VIII

it is good.
we have set up a goal to help a girl from her married boyfriend and also finding her a good boyfriend.
she had finally found one for herself.
and we are really glad that she has finally got over it and move on.
alas.
for us, we have started a year ago to help her and now our task was compeleted.
it is finished.

when we learnt about it, it was bitter-sweet. we felt that we are being set free, liberated and our chains are gone.
but at the same time, our heart ached, but still it was a good news.

things finally turned around, for the better.
when she was with a married boyfriend, we have agreed to help her and never in our mind it would last a year or even more.
never had we pondered, but we took up the tasks as our promise.

now, it is done, and the things have come to past.
it is good.

we have set up things for her and after we have heard and saw the things, we have deactivated them.
well, we will missed her, indeed, and we told ourselves we have to let it go and move on.
Nothing is impossible.

Looking back, Part VII

again, it had been a tough year in 2010.
we liked to proceed with the renovation of the our flat as the cost was cheaper then.
singapore just recovered from economy crisis in 2009 and things are not as expensive.

just when we started, the leaking problem became the biggest problem.
we have done all the procedures, and awaiting for our tenant above our floor to start doing her toilet.
we assumed it can be solved in a few weeks.
but little did we expect her to drag till 7 months later.

all our plans are ruined by this simple problem.
alas.
