House phone rang

I dialled my friend's house phone, wanted to wish her happy birthday. It rings more than 10 times, i suspected her family were all asleep? It's already 10 something. Then some one picked up, came a voice of a middle age woman who talked briskly, sounded a bit furious who i could remember it's her mum's voice. So i mentioned my friend's name. She is not home, why didn't you call her handphone? I thought she changed her number quite often that i failed to follow so i just punched in her house phone as spontaneously as i did - house phone number will never change unless she moves house. I tried her handphone later but was directed to voice mail. The uncertainties of technology. Phone with cable are still the best. Just that people are getting busier in this decade, getting in touch in a fix place is a mere impossibility.

My oversized shoes

“Sometimes I look back the work I have done, I will wonder why I have to do this? What was it in my mind that I had to use this method? What was I thinking at that particular time?” I said. “Then I would try to use some other approach if it works in the same case, but turn out my original idea was the best suit, so I guess what I thought that particular time must have covered this thought that I’m having now, it caters. I feel amazing sometimes.” “Then will you forget me someday, if that symptom hits you again?” She asked earnestly and out of curiosity. I gave it a deep thought, tried to apply it to some analogy and see if it works. “I don’t think so; it won’t be the same for human being. So far, it happens to things when I’m in work or maybe I should say I only realize it occurring when I’m working. ” I explained. “Memory of a person is not discreet, it’s like a continuously stream over time, like a flowing river, from a canal to a wider river. Shape of the fluid takes on form of rive

Simply beautiful voice

Can't say she sings without skill but rather, more appropriately saying; without much decoration. That simplicity and purity of voice that doesn't need cosmetic and beautification, and it turns out to be a beautiful ordinary voice.

The ugly face

I have known her for five years. We’re not the best known couple among friends but we got along well. We seldom quarrel, not to say we had not raised enough issues to quarrel but we had our own way to tackle it, we came to the consent and agreement on things before we got together, we talked issues over and we discussed together to sort out problems. There was once we had a big fight, and hmm, I shall rephrase the big fight to cold war instead. We managed to get back well together again in two days time, it was like two years for us then. After that we came to really appreciate each other. I don’t really remember the detail of reason why we quarreled; I can say it was a rather long story, that it will take two pages to explain. I won’t be explaining the reason here because that is not the main point. Among my girl friends, she moved me the most. Since the first day we had known each we had unbroken topics of conversation. The conversation was so smooth that even the most tedious and bo
