8138

today is one of my most disappointing days.
i let god's gift slip past me (well not exactly god's gift i just said it to make the gift sound divine)
it all happened yesterday, the 18th of feb
my department was having this cny celebration and they hired a lion dance troupe to dance for them
at the end of the dance, the lion peeled the oranges and arranged them to form the numbers '8318'
but not wanting to be kiasu, i went to take a look at them at the end of the show
and so at the end of the show, i went ONTO the stage to look at the numbers (cos being me, i hate crowds and there was a crowd blocking my view off stage)
so they appeared as '8138' to me (cos mirror effect mah)
and i noted them in my hp
now i dun really gamble but the thought of buying the numbers did come to me while i was taking the bus to the public pool for a swim. but still...i din buy (cos i am not a goddamn gambler!~!!)
well anyways, i came home only to be greeted by the sharp tv set
with the 4d page and the yellow words "1st prize : 8138"
my first reaction was "ok..get ready to say "FUCK" "
and second reaction was to check my note which i wrote in my hp

well the order of reactions kinda switched but yeah you know the rest.
i let $2000 slip past me (if i bought $1 big i think; i'm not a gambler)

but hey maybe next time i'll strike 4d/toto with more money? or get a happenning girlfriend or something? or maybe win a sportscar ? or maybe be an unamed heir to a family of rich old men?

ok. stop consoling myself already.

i was the only idiot who saw it that way
and the bigger to brush aside the thought of buy 4d tdy

but then again,

eventually, everything is emotional.

over

the main 2 days of festivities are over
and i'm now feeling emptiness within me
it's over
that's the problem.
what happens when something which you looked forward for,
waited for, hoped for, longed for, enjoyed for
has come and passed you by?
it basically means it's over doesn't it
which makes you question the wortiness of it all
whether the sweat, blood, tears heartache, perseverance is really worth
spending just for that one thing
which will eventually
be over?
maybe that's why i am the way i am
constantly thinking whether the motion of all that is really worth the extent
is what i always do.
but then again
thoughts can never be action thus never achieving a reaction.

i'm down with flu
but i'm recovering soon.
and tdy is sickening valentine's day
not that i'm a sour grape or what
but it sickens me to see the over commercialization of the death anniversary of Valentine. (now known as saint Valentine)
how many people actually know that
he was beheaded on the 14th of feb cos he defied the orders of Claudious II which were not to get married if not they would be wusses and stay home and not fight his wars.

hmm..feeling hungry
time to f.o
