dead-panned humour.

some things which amuse you highly fall flat on others' ears.
a classic example. jem's jokes!

i think it's absoultely hilarious! ('_')

and on a more serious note, when you give someone hope, it's cruel to take it away.
it's callous. it may not seem like such a big deal, but people have more faith in you than you can ever imagine.

how can you promise a kid a trip the the zoo, only to tell her after you are not going after all because it looks like rain. when maybe all there are just a few dark clouds.
and when the kid looks sad, you feel bad, and guilt prompts you to make another promise of taking her to the candy store.
and in the end, you bring her to the sweet section of the supermarket while you're doing your weekly grocery shopping.

geez people! have a little heart.
surely her happiness is worth more than a few lousy excuses.

and, back on a lighter note, i really need a weekend getaway.
but all weekend getaways all seem to cost so much too.

should i just heck it and book the trip to bali?

ah, the ponderings of daily lives.
