Ever wonder what does it take for someone to stop caring for you?

I did. Today in the shower. It was a good day, one of those crazy non stop day, but not bad. I had to take a shower to clean up before I go to bed at night, and I suddenly wondered. I thought about the conversation in the lunch room a few afternoons ago. The guys were talking about the market. I mentioned that the economy crisis almost happen every 10 years, at least in asia there was the 97 crash, and then one in late eighties. What I didn't say was why I remembered. Every family has its difficult times, but we got over it. I always thought those who stay behind were the ones who cared. Then a few years ago I was proven wrong.

So. Would you stop caring for your siblings if they killed someone or had an affair? Do you love them unconditionally? Would you give them a kidney? Would you drift away from a friend if he/she is broke? Is a wife beater? Smoke weed? Steal money from homeless ppl? Take the public transport for free? Doesn't pay tax? Drink before noon? Smells funny? Hates animals? Rants about absolutely nothing on blogs?

There's no reason why you can't just stop caring for someone because he/she repulsed you by picking his/her teeth in public that one time. I was just wondering, what does it take for you to hate me, assuming I am significant enough for you to hate me. If I had a list of "these things" from everyone I know... who would I keep.

I don't know, but we should be forgiving as what we have been told, which is not easy to do. I guess everyone has a button stated "click this and I will explode" I'm wondering what is yours look like... "Call me crazy drunken scientist"?

[12:51:05 AM]: I just realized I'm the kind that likes to keep old letters. [12:52:17 AM]: the sentiment of writing a letter, doesn't matter what kind, it takes effort.. [12:53:44 AM]: there is something incredibly moving about someone willing to go through all those trouble to tell you something, trivial or profound, especially when you re-read it years later and realize that the sentiment no longer exist. I was digging through store room boxes looking for some old course notes from undergrad. I accidentally discover some old letters and read through them. When I went on skype I said this. I wasn't sure if felt precious because 1) no body writes real letters anymore, 2)it marked a completely different time point in our lives where the sender find the need and the right to share whatever it was, with me, or 3)the realization that I actually got to hold on to something that I lost. Probably all of the above, depending on who you are. I wonder if anyone out there kept the let...

Sometimes all you need is one bad news to spoil your day. Today, unfortunately is one of those days. I found out early in the afternoon that it takes 3-5 months to get my passport renewed here. 3-5 months. I don't know who decided that was acceptable, whoever it was must have not lived in a foreign country, because it is ridiculous. The embassy told me they have to send it back to M'sia for processing. Well, I thought that's what a foreign embassy is for, so you can do things like that when you are away? Doesn't it only takes 3 days back home? What kind of mail service are they using? Pigeons? Whatever genius reasons they have, I really don't care. I mean, how could they not see that 3-5 months is a stupidly long time to be in a foreign country without a passport? Other than the fact that you are stuck the moment you mail your passport out for as long as it takes, you don't have that one piece of ID you need in almost any government related issue. Fancy MyKad do...

The time has come... I keep seeing wedding/engagement pictures/announcement popping up on facebook. I'm sure very soon I'll see baby pics popping up like spring bamboo shoots after the rain (I think that is the literal translation). If you are one of those who ask, "How about you?" Then you can be friends with my mom. If you are nodding your head and thinking that kind of reality check is kinda scary/crazy but you will shrug it off anyways, we can be friends. If you think I'm conflicted/bitter because of what I hinted at in the last post.. then I say thank you for paying way too much attention, but my head hurt so I might have been delusional. It would be kinda weird though, if I were to return. It would feel like suddenly everyone is 10 years older, with their respective others, career, babies etc. And all I have been doing was learning to live with myself. There is so much catching up to do.
