My first entry in .... 3 years?

Its been a while since i gave a thought to blogging. Initially, i couldn't be bothered to blog my thoughts / perspectives and stuff like that online and let some random bugger see this. But i guess people do change over the years. Three years... Has it been that long? People say that a year is a long period over which anything can happen to you, be it positive and negative and they can affect you in a big way regardless of whether u're concious of it or not.

My best pal in camp, Joshua a.k.a. Joshie is having an operation tomorrow > 18th October 2006 , 8AM Bangkok time. This operation is operating on his brain and there's a high chance that his memory might be wiped , and he joked to me that he might forget me. A gear in me must have twitched and that's why i started this blog.

Josh, i know u're always a good pal and have always regarded me as someone you look up to... Honestly, i do not know if i deserve that kind of recognition, whatsoever.. But i do cherish the times we're hanging out together.. short and yet sweet memories. Do you remember being in the auditorium where i used to hang out with you and you were always quizzing me on the your Brian Brains / The Angry Link script? Its a creative script that is worth finishing but i find it a pity that you do not wish to continue it for the time being.. The fun times we had when i was kidding you about Brian's patients and stuff... haha.

There was the other time when i brought you to my friend's condo's house to swim. We had a lot of splashing fun when i gave an impromptu coaching lesson on how to do freestyle stroke better. I still remembered that you said i was a good swimmer but i find that there's always room for improvement. It must have being our loud talking and guffawing as we were talking about girls that the security chased us out of the pool... Crappy but since we were in the pool for more than an hour, i let the matter rest.. Then, straight after that, i brought you to this teochew porridge stall where we ate quite well. I surprised everyone by eating plates of "taokee" and nothing else (Ok, there was the minced meat and egg tofu) .. and i remembered very well everyone was stunned and bemused by it.

Then there were many times when we consoled each other from our down times. Me consoling you about your ex (To that dumb gal: "You're a real fool to give him up, seriously"..) and you talking to me about me being single all these while and how i find that it sux... Till this day, i still am but at least i don't break a sweat over it like i used to.. Thanks yet again Joshie.

So here ends my dedication of my first blog to one of the greatest pals i ever known.. Joshua / Joshie, be strong man! I know you can place your faith in God and come out stronger and happier.. (although i'm a Buddhist, i'll fax a memo to Jesus using the fax machine in our camp's duty room... LOL!! xD )
