The Starfish Story
As the old man walked the beach at dawn
he noticed a boy ahead of him picking up starfish
and flinging them into the sea
Finally catching up the with the boy
he asked why he was doing this
The answer was that the stranded starfish would die
if left until the morning sun.
''But the beach goes on for miles and there r millions of starfish,'' said the old man.
''How can your effort make ani difference?''
The boy looked at the starfish in his hand
and then threw it safely into the waves
''It makes a difference to this one,'' he said

Reason & Excuses
its been at least a few months since i last pen dw my tots.
came to a decision to drop a visit due to some happenings these few wks.
first and foremost is the recent rejections of my friends' outings.. this is not the main story.. the subject is that they complained that the reasons i came up with to reject their outings are unforgiven.
hmmm.. came to tink of it.. they are right... bt i realli have no mood for all these.. is this the pre ageing period i gg to encounter?
been finding that the recent activities i done or intend to do is rather boring.. somehw i no longer find the 新鲜感 in the activities.. mayb i should sit and reconsider my options
learnt sth today from someone... a lesson of reasons = lies..
sometimes A will provide reasons or excuses on a matter.. ppl such as B involoved will find this as a lie.. bt have B consider that somehw tis so called reason or excuse is jus something A came up wif good intentions. there are things call white lies, isnt there... the reason A came up wif may not be the main intention to kick off a conversation bt is one wif gd intentions. you maybe confused by what im saying.. so let give an example..
should u want to drop a msg to one of yr good frien, you may start off e msg with sth like hw e day or dinner.. this is a reason to kick off a conservation with gd intentions right.. though it may sounds a lousy reason... lol. so i dun realli understand y tiz kind of reason is labelled as lie..
anyway have to straighten this prob..

by many adventurers
juz to complete their single journey..
A thousand roses bought
by many
juz to humour their single love..
A thousand paper cranes
folded by many
juz to realise that single wish ..
A thousand smiles
appeared on mi
juz thinking of that single her..
A thousand days or years
I shall wait
juz for that undying single love..
Let it not be like the parallel lines
So near yet never cross each other..
even if its a thousand wait
or an infinity wait..
