Managed to put a little personal touch in my new room. Adding a new item to my collection, the naughty pet which took me some time to find one. Aint it cuddly.
After much drama and struggle and reluctance, finally settled :p. First time I understood the meaning of 'compromise' in the truest sense. It was still a
right decision actually, but somehow probably I just know I wont fall in love with the new place the way I did previously. Funny but I did learn a lot about myself, my weaknesses, my preferences, my pet peeves, and what matters. Anyway it's a done deal. I would be fine. I am fine. Let's not bother as there are more important things to bother hehe.
Ok I rarely talk about lovelife-related stuff in the blog :p. But here's one:
Similarly in choosing a partner in the future I guess. As you grow old, it's actualy not just about choosing someone with qualities you like, more importantly it's about choosing someone you are sure doesnt have something you DONT like, things that you cant bear and cant live with, someone you wont regret over. Whew, more than dating several guys, this chapter is much more effective really. :p

It's About Giving
After my family went back from their vacation, my sister kept chasing me about the expenses that I cashed out, but I dont intend to let them pay. Yes it did quite rip me off big time. She insisted and argued, but I won. :) Anyway I did more stunner stupid things to other people. Below is another winning entry.
There was a time in 07 where i helped my barkada (from Manila) bought a laptop in the IT show here and 'abono' for it . Queues in IT show are really more than u can imagine. Queued in the cashier, queued in the claiming counter, queued in the freebie collection counter. After I went home then I realized the laptop was not booting up no matter how hard I tried. (I know I should have tested it, but IT show was so jampacked like sardines that I dont have space and lost the energy to test the unit!) Thanks to the big help from call center who kept asking 'is the switch on', 'is the power button turning red', 'can you reboot it' when I called for guidance. Next day I went on half day leave, returning the laptop back to the store and after some troubleshooting, the culprit was the installation of the free RAM upgrade. Sorry my limited knowledge doesnt include RAM installation. My other friend laughed at me and kept asking why. I just cant possibly ignore and send a crap back home, my reputation at stake you know haha. (Besides, what if this friend wont pay me back :p) Kidding aside, that same night I had to meet a common friend to send the (fixed) laptop back to Manila, and the tiring day finally ended. And till now this friend doesnt know how much trouble I went through. In fairness to Toshiba, I did everything to save its name!
No matter how the whole world goes crazy over Apple's ipad and iphone and macbook (no offense I'm just not a fan), when it comes to laptop. I will choose Toshiba. As I said, I will choose quality as usual. Long lasting - that is the word. Unfortunately, I am not using a Toshiba haha. Coz my 3year old Lenovo laptop is still kicking alive after my bro-in-law resurrected it from the slowless-of-a-turtle-state (thanks to Vista!) via repartitioning. (Sheesh I dont know if I am qualified to be in IT) :p
That is the last time I bought something for another person in an IT show. Only direct family members can now enjoy that privilege.
Enough of the unpaid advertisement, going back...
At those few times, it's something beyond words but the willingness to sacrifice to help people get what they want. I dont need you to know what I exactly did. But I probably felt you're worth it while doing it. Just a little subtle appreciation would do. Because..
能够為一件事或一個人執著, 那種感覺很幸福.
就算你不知道, 或选择看不刭, 也都無所謂了.
..我會記住那份美好
Goodnight world.
