My apologies~

I’m just writing this to straighten things out. But first: thanks Balong for not blowing my cover when you had the chance. =) Hehehe. Ahem, okie dokie. I really don’t know where to start. So emmm... let me just dive in then, okay?

Now, remember that entry I wrote – Reality Check? Yes, the article that seemed like a pitiful act to gain sympathy. A “pity party” as my bro puts it. LOL, trust me, it was anything but!!! I actually wrote that as a fictitious story, to give a little weight to the newspaper article I attached at the end of the entry. Let me stress that again: FICTION!! Make-believe! Imaginary! Not true!

But then, people started giving me all those supportive comments and I just went along with it~ Hehehe.. and it felt good~

Please don’t ask me why I didn’t come clean earlier. Maybe cos it was fun letting people believe I was losing my grip on sanity? Or probably, I just didn’t think it was worth my time trying to point out the fallacy of their interpretation of my writing? Erk.

Anyways, I had a chat with someone the other day and he said one of my friend went crazy with worry when she read my entry (he might have exaggerated a little, i dunno). Oh dear, now that made me feel super guilty. I appreciate the concern. I really do!! But honestly, I don’t need no pat pat on the back. And contrary to popular belief, I don’t actually need any random acts of kindness to get me through my day (tho I have to admit, its nice when people show that they care).

So what I’m saying is, I do get stressed out sometimes (don’t we all?). But everyone has their own burdens to bear, and I think I’m old enough to handle mine myself, ne? No sympathetic shoulder to cry on needed.

I know all this misunderstanding was partly my fault too. My disclaimer at the bottom of the article was too small for some to see. So okay, I was wrong! I’ll work on that next time and I’ll remember to blow it up as big as the clouds so no one misses it.

Now if you could just take a moment to read through the entry again, u’d realize that the person in that story ain’t me: For example:

1. Who says it doesn’t snow in Ireland? Of cos it snows! Here's a picture to prove it:
2. My parents call me every other day. Vice versa. (yes, even on their hajj pilgrimage)
3. I’m pretty sure my friends just love having me around. They aren’t the slightest bit tired of me (just yet). Hehehe. Right, housies? And even if they say no, they’re actually saying YES YES in their hearts but they’re too embarrassed to admit it. =P
4. etc etc..
   

So anyway, I’ve learnt my lesson.
Now I’ll never underestimate people’s kindness. =)

Thank you and have a nice day~
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARBRY FULL HOUSE!!!
