i think there should be a school where people can learn how to understand. but that will never happen, because we will always have a shortage of teachers, let alone a principal.

i reckon most people just tolerate, be it keeping it within them or brushing it away. but ultimately, if it is important, tolerance is just simply not enough.

trouble begins, because people dont understand.

but it isnt for lack of trying either. there are times when we just dont know how to understand. how do you try to understand? slow down? put yourself in others' shoes? yes, definitely, but sometimes, it's more or less than that, and sometimes, you just dont know what to do, you just dont know how to try to understand, and in the end, we dont understand.

complicated? well yeah but we all know very well about humans and their complexities.

because we havent really been taught the art of understanding. and the process to understand differs in every situation, thus making it even more difficult because right now we dont even have the theory to work with.

and then, in a blink of an eye, you get massive misunderstandings, because people read each other the wrong way. and they begin to accuse each other, and sometimes the other party was merely an innocent. can you imagine the bewilderment you inflicted?

because humans are all different, the way we talk and act can be miles apart at times, conflicts will always be there.
and it can get so bad, that sometimes you want to scream out the song 'where is the love' and belt it at the top of your voice.
really, where did the love go? or did we just simply forget? or in the face of everything else, was it not important anymore?

we can be from different planets, and our only saving grace is that special connection that 2 people share.

we cant run away from reality, that the problems of differences will go away. it will always be a haunting shadow mist to mock at every relationship, to brew into a storm every once in a while.

your only hope is to strengthen that connection. dont let it die, dont give up. there are some things in life worth fighting for.
and also.
keep the faith.

HRC again last night. i'm going to be a regular saturday-nighter. the live band is good, their guitarist is drool-worthy, i almost wish i am him. (note. i am him, not with him!!)
by the way, i am referring to his superb guitar skills.

they have reggae and r&b, and that's really nice to gyrate to. ahha
I LOVE DANCING WITH K!!

*nods in approval*

but seriously, i never danced like that before.

when you love someone, you make sacrifices, and you do it willingly.

on friday, k and i went out and we returned home really late, in wee hours of the morning.
she didnt sleep at all, just so she can wake up early to buy breakfast, drive to bishan to pick me to drive me all the way to bukit batok to work. only then did she go home to sleep.
because she knows the dread i have, so she did it specially to make my day a little easier.
wow.
i was very very touched. thank you..

best of all, she was so happy to do this for me. wow.
