kindness pays?

How friendly is too friendly? there's such a fine line between being friendly and giving the impression that you are flirting. It pays to tread carefully..

A new co-worker started work a few weeks ago. I gave her a few friendly pointers about the people at work, nothing sinister about it, i behaved politely. later on a few of us got together in a web chat, and after that there was a change in her behaviour. She got my number from the staff directory, and started messaging me morning greetings and calling to ask about meaningless things. This set off alarm bells in my head, so when she asked me out for lunch i arranged a lunch trip for a whole group of co-workers. This was a preemptive strike to avoid awkward solitary moments, and it worked out well.

Then, i got careless. We share a common hobby and a few days ago i pass on some collectibles to her. Boy, what a mistake. For the past two days, she has sent me corny messages at around 3am. What the..

The irony..outside of work, the other person i trying to chatup just acts cool. While over at the office, i did nothing and it's like i am being hit on. I may be over sensitive about this, but her behaviour is seriously freaking me out! Why am i always getting involved with the wrong people..Can't we co-exist in peace..?

lcd dirty?

get it cleaned here. cute!

morning run

after a period of 2 weeks in which i was down with assorted ailments including cough, cold and fever, i went for my annual physical fitness test in the morning. armed with a nagging cough and less than 4 hrs of sleep due insomnia, i set off for the test venue to submit myself to fate.

and to my surprise, did resonably well. even though there were times during the run when i wondered if this will be the last run i ever embark on. if i can follow a regular jogging schedule, i can probably shave off a min or so from the timing and enter the top award category. that's a very big if!

I had it bad after the test, a stomach cramp so severe i can hardly walk. more than 12 hours later..i felt much better and most importantly alive and kicking thus this blog lol. the ordeals of the test seems a long time ago. well, until next year...

chipmunks!

a silly chipmunks rap voiced over a cheesy eurodance beat..and best of all it makes me feel on high for the 1st few times hearings lol

the still mind

A mind that is still is the mind that never forfeits its freedom and is able to constantly keep rolling and rolling and rolling

I am trying to react to events by seeing out of myself and not put them in any framework. So I can act without attachment or aversion to sights and sounds. Basically to turn myself into a unfeeling robot.

So i won't be provoked into the posion that is anger
I won't be depressed over work
Cruel words from people won't hurt me.
Memories won't sadden me.

what is love?

i got a warm fuzzy feeling down my spine while seeing this. local media should watch and learn, clips of artistes urging for donations because they worked so hard to enact some stupid stunts? oh please. if this ad was a local production urging for donations i will definitely contribute more.

no surprises

Radiohead - No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you,
bruises that won't heal.
You look so tired-unhappy,
bring down the government,
they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take a quiet life,
a handshake of carbon monoxide,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
Silent silence.

This is my final fit,
my final bellyache,

with no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.

Such a pretty house
and such a pretty garden.

No alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises,
no alarms and no surprises please.
