"I myself am the only friend I have"

They say that Marriage is the graveyard of Love. I say, Marriage is the graveyard for friendships.

In a recent article that discussed about the death of friendships following the big M, I recalled not having heard from my single, male friends in recent months.

M: my best friend for years who disappeared more than a yr ago is back. We met up lately and he wasn't in a good shape. And then he added me to fb and saw my pics about my newfound status. He sent me a msg asking what kinda friend I was, to have left him out of such details.


Well, it was pretty hard for me to say everything at first meeting when he was still struggling in life. I didn't want to be seen doing better than him as he was still juggling his finances. My msg to him these days would end up with his curt reply: Yes, Mrs _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (spells full name), what can i do for you? with no reply whatsoever after that.


J: my friend from my previous job. We were deemed the 'couple' at workplace as we were the best of colleagues and helped looked out for each other. There was no liking/love, just a pure platonic, cordial working relationship. J chided me when i was going in the wrong direction in love and told me to stop gg out with 'angmohs'. I was no SPG but i didn't know why the men who are attracted to me are usually caucasians.


Mr SF: we would talk whenever we see each other online and sometimes meet up with no agenda which feels really nice, away from the stress of life . We would, or rather I would confide in him if i'd encountered any problems in work/life. These days, when we do meet up, it would be arranged by our common pals if any. He says that if there was no one i could look for if i'm in need, he'll be right beside me.
Yeah, by then i'll be six feet underground..

The guru said we outta text them if they don't text us no more. But what do we do if they don't reply or gave a forceful one? The indefinite "so when do you wanna meet up" reply to a "shall we meet up soon" sms and there would be no 'follow-ups'..

Maybe it's true that they don't care as much as before and that you don't mean anything to them in the first place or that you didn't mean as much to them as they meant to you.


Maybe i should not appear 'visible' to them anymore so i would not feel all the disappointment for being erased from their lives if they choose to ignore me.

Maybe i should just not think about it anymore..

Good night, world *yawns*

Last day *cheers*

Finally the days of training has come to an end. Gone were the days of rushing through work and skipping dinner for lessons at the Home Team Academy.

I remembered vividly, the meeting up with the senior officers on the during orientation. There would be loud whispers going," Who's tt girl who used to be in PAD (Public Affairs Dept)? "

Yes, i am the talk of the squad. On the orientation with the various department heads, felt like a exhibit and discount item being 'solicited' to join the different departments as i was deemed suitable and 'attractive'.

Thank you for taking a liking to me. I appreciate the attention and hope i can contribute to your good department.

VSC training in a flash - actually we ex-regulars only had to attend the first aid lessons *phew*

My 1st Aid buddy for all the 'choking' and bandaging..

The Girls

Our squad - 75th Intake and our 1st Aid trainers: Mark and i-didn't-get-his-name.

The ex-regulars & PNSFs. Nice to be in the squad with Hirman, from C-course/2003.

No more irritants to rattle about our hair, trousers, socks and bra colour.

PS: We are working adults and do not go about thinking of which bra color to match with the white polo tee as we dress for work! No wonder u'll always be a small fry.

Good riddance! U will not be missed.

Daily dose of Dempsey

Saint Paul once said that the whole human race is divided into two groups: Night people and Day people.

Night people are associated with darkness, sleep and drunkenness. Day people are associated with light, alertness and soberness.

I love the day where i get to see the beauty of life, energy and the surroundings in a crystal clear perspective. When night falls, there is a fear in me that everything will come to an end and my time with my loved ones will be shortened. But.. sometimes i like to keep awake when everyone else is asleep to embrace the serenity of life.

I love to spend my nights @ Dempsey. Tapas & Wagyu beef night was spent with a very cool friend Terry.

At Jones the GrocerMy drink for the night~ can't remember its name lol
Loving my salmon tapas..
