5681

Seems like fate? Or luck? Or coincidence?

Imagine if it wasn't 18/8/2013

Imagine if I did not leave home at that time

Imagine if I did not bump into her

Imagine if I did not wind down the window

Imagine if I just kept my mouth shut

Imagine if that four digits were not in my head

Imagine if that wasn't the amount

Imagine if I did not sign up for it

Imagine if ...


Moral of the story : 

We can't control a lot of things but the only thing we can control is ourselves. 

Always believe in doing good because karma is real.

Imaginations and ambitions are different. Choose the clear ambition instead of the vague imaginations. 

Bear in mind that if it's meant to be, it's meant to be. 

Don't worry, be happy =)

2 years seems like 2 weeks

It seems like only 2 weeks ago that you left us.

I still have that fond image of you smiling in my head.

I still remember how you sound like, people around us think that I sound like you

As much as people think that I look like you, I think I'm no where near the physical attributes that you possess.

 Probably the only inheritance (or probably I portrayed you too well) is actually our existence in any groups ; be it friends or family.

 I'm guessing its the aura and vibe that we give out to people are the same?

We reach out to people the same?

Best thing is socially I think that we are most alike! We know how to catch the right moment to say the right things! But sometimes probably too much to the liking of others? O.o Basically we just know how to talk to people of all kinds, women in particular

I half wonder how did mom coped with you if that was the case! LOL!

I was thinking for a moment that I'm actually more talkative and naturally prefer to mind other people's business but then again I recalled the story of your life in England. You were exactly like me, just that you chose to be the observer and no action taken. Prolly that's the true distinction between an engineer and a marketer =P

Since you are already up there, I'm not sure if my decision to be at HLB is something that you would encourage or not? Proud of or not? Was it a positive move? To "patsin" it's alright to make the move but to mom, she was okay in the beginning until... yeah so I think she wouldn't have expected that from me!

Little did she knew that the shoes seem to fit in so well that I was not following your footsteps but I'm in your shoes, just that it's 20 years later. I did not expect that as well.

Mom was so upset with me the other day but I knew deep down in her, she'd be telling herself : "Damn this scene is so damn familiar! Or,  Shit! Your son is following your footsteps!" Goes to show how much the HLB culture has changed 20 years on : STAGNANT

Looking at the bright side, I'm actually happy to go through this because I can relate to you. I can feel how you felt 20 years ago! =) The entertainments, the booze, the bosses, the women? (prolly I'm not there yet but I'm quite sure with the like father like son theory so women wont be an intervening issue).

The VOMITING part might be the hardest to take in. I've received uncountable lectures from your wife and your sisters just like how they did it to you last time. Yours was worse cuz your mom scolded you! LOL!

But now, I knew exactly how it felt, and i know certain things just cant be avoided, can't be explained. I dont know how to explain to your wife just like how you didnt know how to explain to your wife but I KNOW and YOU KNOW. Just cant be explained. Guy thing probably?

I remembered how you came back vomiting in the toilet , I was awaken by the sound of you vomiting. I was there to pat and soothe your back in the toilet. I'm not sure how many times, but I remembered a good couple of times I was there. I knew how you felt, just that I don't have anyone to pat my back! LOL!

Plus, I can't make it so obvious cuz we'll get locked out of the room! LOL! Don't laugh, you know and I know you got the "locked room" treatment! Now I've gotten a taste of that treatment too! =S

Don't worry, I will not cause your wife to be over-worried. Just so you know I know how to protect myself and avoid certain situations. I knew you were there during the Stanley's KTV party incident, and that is why I did not feel any effects/after effects or what-so-ever. Thanks! =)

I knew you were there when I stepped into HLB , hence no fear at all during the interview! 2 weeks into the job I also found out that HB and HLP were actually on the same floor as Commercial/Business Banking Division. So I got a glimpse of how you actually walked in there 20 years ago? I'm not sure, but I certainly thought so, since mom told me that you don't go there often.

I think the way I make people feel my presence is probably the same as you, and I hope just like you, I wont step onto anyone's tail and be likeable by all ranks in the organisation.

I promise you I will improve on my work ethics because I know I'm no where near you.

It's been 2 years but last night when I closed my eyes, I still see your image very clearly. A few images in fact altho I wished you appeared in my dreams!

Life is short, and I'm getting older so we must do things while we are able to! YOLO!!

You are still deeply missed.
