alright. havent been around cos of some overseas planning for community service. so yes, to the few readers here, i'll be away for two weeks starting 15 september - when i have to be at the airport at freakin' 4.30am. and it's not like i live in changi village.
i'll be on an island called nias (a place most people dont know where but it's ok, cos i didnt know either), also as part of a journalism study trip.
i'd be getting used to lotsa seafood and the frequent washing of the butt in place of the use of the toilet paper.
oh and as of now, indonesia just felt a 7.9 earthquake, south of sumatra. and its aftershocks. indian ocean. which is not say VERY near nor VERY far from nias either. tsunami warning has been issued too. hmmm.
and year two semester one results will be out in another like 60 hours or so. hmmm that too.
oooohwell. not much we can do about all that can we :)

why do we cry?
it's associated with both extremes of feelings and emotions, isn't it.
happy. excited. anxious. sad. disappointed. upset. high. laughter. frightened. angry. ecstatic.
they're like far ends of the colour spectrum. but yet they all share that one common denominator.
many say crying doesnt help a matter at all. it's not a solution to a problem. it doesnt help to improve the situation.
but i think crying helps.
it may not physically, tangibly solve problems.
but it helps in the process of sealing the wound.
tears dont heal the wound, but it helps healing the wound better.there are days that might trigger a flow of endless tears.
yet im sure there are days when you long for a trickle, it doesnt appear. the muscles just don't jut.
some can withhold their tears, tighten their tear ducts and keeping the flow in.
others can't.
but we all get the same effect to cause that trigger to cry right.
we might be able to stop the consequence of the cry and tears. but we cant control the trigger.
we try hard to prevent reminders, triggers, post-its from turning up in the brain.
we even try to mask and cover up, deluding the mind of any such reminder.
we run away from situations that might make us feel that way.
we throw out physical items or things that might tap that pandora's box.
but we just cant control that half a second.
if it does turn up.
even with
every ounce of strength.
