First death

Dale - 14 Aug 2008 ~ 22 Feb 2010

Dale passed away last night. She has been sick for a while. Been to the vet so many times... nothing helps.

When I cleaned her cage on Sunday, I noticed she wasn't her usual mousy-self. She was lying in a corner, food untouched. The next day, she was lying in her food bowl (another unusual behaviour). I thought she was sleeping and left her alone.

This is the first death among the hamsters, and it happened to the youngest.

R.I.P Dale. I will miss you.

I was surfing around and was surprised to find my Friendster page.

I don't remember what is the login or password, but I'm able to see My Profile and pictures. I need to find a way to delete this account.

But the real surprise came from reading my own words. How I described myself all those years ago. Here's what I wrote:

About Me:
For those of you who'd been checking my pages for the past few months, sent me a msg, or tried to add me as a friend, but receive no updates or reply, I apologise. I'd been busy with life, and totally enjoying myself. It was in January when I was put off by the slow network here, and decided to stop using it.

Now that I'm back, I must say there's a lot of improvements in terms of the speed of the server. I had receive all your msgs and I wanna say hi to everyone, and thank you... thanks for all your concern. I'm still ALIVE AND KICKING!!!I only wanna say one thing: Don't spend too much time in front of the computer. Your real life is OUT THERE, talking to real ppl,not typing cyber chat lingos to ppl whom you've never met all the time. If you'd never try something new, I feel that there is no better time than now to do something different.

Examine your life, and ask yourself that one important question today: What do I want out of this life?

--------Pretty free-spirited, loves God, loves travelling, confident, doesn't make sense most of the time, a little critical sometimes, honest and straight forward all the time. Treasure friendships alot. -------

Who I Want to Meet: Anyone who's interesting, intelligent and can share some experiences on life with me. Also looking for old frens whom I've lost contact with. Was previously from MPS, RSS, JJC, SIM

Looking back, I have really lost myself. Where have I been in the last 7 years? I have forgotten what matters most to me. I have forgotten how to love myself. I think I'd become someone else.

I was on a very interesting journey, thinking I'll do some self-discovery.

But it was quite contrary. I'm totally out of the league.

Some interesting stuffs

I haven't update my blog in a while. How busy can one get?

Tonight I chanced upon 2 interesting sites, both dealing with philosophy.

It begins to dawn on me, on how much easier it is to believe in something I can't see, rather than something I can see and touch.
