Hermit Hermit!


(This is not the actual colored pet hermit)


Went to Hougang Mall to see hermit crabs. Have you ever see the news report? Those mini crabs whom carries their home on their back just like a snail?

No denial that they are very adorable indeed. I was agreeable when YC wanted to get that for me as pets but while I was considering what colored hermit should I get, my eyes happened to swept across a board next to the tank.

A crab for 25 bucks?! A package of a small plastic tank, some sand, a container and two crabs cost 65 bucks or 75 for a slightly bigger tank! My eyes nearly dropped out! I backed off when the seller scoped some hermits for me to chose. Its far too expensive! My god! HOw many packets of chicken rice can I buy with that money?! LOL! I am a chicken rice queen, I know. I have got to convince him to not get that for me cos its really too ex.. It's really very adorable...but....imagine in time to come, when it grows bigger and bigger......wow.......can I steam that for dinner? Hmm....wonder should I start keeping chicks, ducklings, and shrimps.......opps...that should become rearing already....... LOL!!!

I always have phobia for animals or little insects. Even the slightest thought of having a dog walking pass me will make my hair stands! I dun know why I am so afraid of animals, its just me. The ones that were consider HARMLESS according to my definition, are those who are either slow in reaction, or has to be kept in cages. That explains why we have gold fishes and tortoise and why I will even consider hermit crabs as my own pet. I actually quite like seahorses, snails, jelly fishes.....and many more as long as they falls in my definition.

I still think of hermit but thinking about them will do, doenst have to own them.. :)


Friday went to Dempsey again its damn crowded!!!!!!!!!! Then met a damn "careful" driver who turn and turn and swirl but still does not seemed to have any direction or knows where he/she wants to head to, and only knows how to block the route. Eventually he/she caused a little jam and we have to detour.

He seemed famished! So I suggest to go Holland V instead. Had a simple dinner there at Essential O'briens then chatted about something which I dun quite know what meaning was it he meant or I still prefer to stay in denial stage. But probably sometimes, I am just insensitive or too frank with words. Hmmm......ya..........thats it. I will be more tactful next time.

Its no ones fault. The prob lies with me, I still like to wear my pretentious mask and live in denial stage. I think that will keep everyone safe. :)

Friend,

Live in the present... Do not dwell in the past... Keep the past in your memory as a photo album, so that later on in life, you can flip through it and smile at the sweet moments you had before... However, the past is like Youth, once gone, it only stay in the photo album called Memory...

But now, you are living in the present not the past... So think it through... How special is he from your others? What will you feel if he ever leave you? Does he make you feel good and appreciate life? Does your heart pound faster when you are with him? etc...

You know what I mean...

Cause one day he will lose all heart and maybe will really leave you... I don't want you to start REGRETTING then...

I do not want to hear of you crying... I do not want to know that you are miserable... I only want you to be happy... To find joy and purpose in life... WHY? Because I treat you as a friend.

And remember that whenever you are crying, it's not only you who is crying... All your friends will be crying with you although they might not show it... I believe you do not want to hurt yourself and your friends rite? So seek out your happiness... And make your friends laugh and feel happy with you...

With that, I close my case...

Just because you are hurt before, it doesn't mean that all situation will turn out the same...

Love is so simple and easy, yet so sophiscated and difficult... It takes 2 hands to clap... Thus you must be sure that your partner is as committed as you to want to make it work...

If both of you are as committed, no matter what obstacles life throw at both of you, you will overcome it and feel much happier because both of you stand the test of time again...

As friends, we want you to be happy forever... As lover, he will want to give you happiness forever...

So judge for yourself if he can do that... If he can, give both of you a chance... If not, forget it as I do not want you to get hurt again...
