counting my blessings...

i'll admit. i've been in a crummy, crummy mood lately. and i guess i've not been the most pleasant human being to be around in recent times, especially towards my immediate family. but i'm all smiles now, and unlike what i said below, i think it's time to go on record...

sarah: first on the list cos i think i wouldn't be smiling at all thanks to your really sweet plan to try and get me to perk up, which is prompting the writing of this entry. i honestly haven't laughed so hard (even watching all that russell peters and adult swim on youtube didn't come close to evoking the laughter that erupted from me...) when kelly told me that about what you tried to orchestrate. i sorta had a hunch about what you were trying to tell me when you smsed me that night(cos becks leaked it out by accident), but i had no idea that you were the originator. hug-greg-athon may not have worked out like you planned it to (cos everyone decided to hug me during mass during the peace be with you), but i think it's cheered me up big time. i'm deeply, deeply touched by your efforts. thanks for listening ear and reassuring words. and most of all, thanks for helping me rediscover that laughing little boy in me.

kelly: next up cos you had such a hand in revealing sarah's machinations. sorry i'm breaking the seal of confidentiality tho... but like you said, i'm sure you'll surivive sarah. thank you so much for hearing me out. i think you've heard the most from me about how i feel about what's going on and i think i would really be tearing myself apart inside if i didn't vent things out to you. your gentle words and steady advice have really soothed my restless spirits, even though they don't seem to heed them at the time of dispensation. and if you hadn't spilt the beans, i don't think i'd be smiling like the cheshire cat i am right now.

the 27 guys: my brothers in arms. i know i've tried to distance myself somewhat from you guys in my moodiest points, but i know that you guys are there for me 100%. even though jem's busy with hui min and that dod's an asswipe of a monkey. hur hur. while i may not want to talk that much about what's going on, your constant enquiries and displays of support are truly, truly appreciated. we definitely need to do a ball game soon. my hands are itching.

david: my best friend, i don't know where i'd be without having someone like you around. retail therapy to us means transformers, but that spree at falcon's did do my soul some good. i've gotten 5 cool figs as a result, and while it means 5 more figs to pack, they're 5 really sweet figs to distract me at the moment. and like the 27 lads, i know you're always there for me should i need someone to rely on. i look forward to packing up my cabinet of tfs with you when the time comes. it'll be helluva fun =)

peter: i have to thank the person i find it easiest to vent anything i can with cos we're so similar in so many ways. you're probably the person who understands me best in CSA cos of that. just knowing you're there to give me that boost and to talk about things makes me feel assured.

the freshies: i've not known you guys for a year yet, but you guys have become an integral part of my life within this short span of time. i guess that's cos i've not had any other community in CSA other than the 15th exco and the previous FOC comm and i've found a home in your company. i've had some really great times with you guys like the after investiture outing, the k-box sessions, the new year's eve and cny, supper, the sending-offs... your support and care for me in this tumultuous period for me has been tremendous. van, becks, cheryl, iggy, alex and the whole crew, thanks for your love and prayers always.

liz, ash james and anyone else from ntu i've missed out who's asked about me: thank you guys too for your love, care, support, well wishes and prayers. i truly, truly appreciate your friendship and what you guys have given to me. i can't effectively reflect in words just how much each kind word of support or advice meant to me. i just can't do the favours you've done me any justice at the moment, and i hope i repay you all in kind when i can.

the 0612A gang: you guys have played a big role too. i've been a little withdrawn and moody, but i can't ignore the shows of support you've given me as well.

thanks leo for hearing me vent out initially when the proverbial first hit the fan. it might not seem like much, but every bit of support matters to me.

kudos to you too em, for asking about me and giving me a listening ear. i made a good deal of ranting and raving to you, and i appreciate the patience and giving you showed to hear me out.

your unequivocal support was really touching jo, and i'm ever grateful. thanks for checking in on me and listening to me that night... without people like you around, God knows what i'd be like now. domo arigatou. *bows*

i guess i was being sort of a biatch when i brought my situation into play, ain, but i truly hope it did make ya feel better. at the same time, i'm thankful for the concern you've shown me and your sttempts to cheer me up. your efforts weren't unnoticed, and i appreciate it.

as for the rest like mingwei, conan and kalyn, your well wishes and letting me know that you're available to me has moved me as well. i may not have seemed entirely grateful then, but i really, really thank you for your efforts.

i really don't know where i'd be without all you wonderful people. one must really feel blessed to have companions such as yourselves and i am definitely feeling likewise. thank you all once again for the love, care and concern that you've all showered me with. i just can't help but say that i love ya all too.
