And even after Columbine....
I thought that the 1999 Columbine massacre was the worst any school shooting would get.
Then Virginia Tech happened....and the world was aghast....me included.
When I first heard the news, I was sceptical about its scale of seriousness, especially since it had never crossed my mind that someone in my family would actually be facing a gunman for real one day.
But when the death toll of 33 stared me in the face, I can only say I was thankful. It must have been traumatising, no doubt about that. I know I was, even in a different continent, having only read the news hours after it occurred.
I can only vent my disapointment and sorrow for the gunman. How a kid of Asian descent, nonetheless, could possibly be so disturbed and screwed up sends chills down my back, especially after watching his manifesto on video.
It's incredulous what can happen in a split second today.
As for those involved in the V Tech massacre....I feel for them.
This made me think vaguely of the episode in Greys when Alex and Addison discovered that their patient was a Jane Doe.
"I mean, she's all alone. Makes me wonder, if I went missing, would anyone notice?"
May Virginia Tech finally rest in peace...

Two full days of nothing but pure slacking, to celebrate the fact that I am finally on par.
Oh joy :)
The past week has been a myriad of experiences:
Finally broke a fever that wouldn't go away, with self prescribed meds
Library-ing in the afternoons
Desperate Housewives marathons
Discovered the coolest new show, 'Kitchen Confidential'
Became addicted to cereal
Screwed up my zzz-ing hours
Watched 'Sunshine' and was traumatised :O
Okay, no more slacking tomorrow. Back to the mugger sack.
PS: Woogui, I am sooo sorry. I don't mean to dao you intentionally on MSN. If it's a weird hour, it means that I'm asleep and my very 'creber' MSN logged on itself. Hahaha. So don't keep appearing offline!

Keep Moving Forward
Something upset me very badly a while ago, and for the first time in ages, it wasn't XY-chromosome-related.
And then it struck me that all the times I'd been wallowing in self pity about my so-called complicated soap-opera issues that had broken me into a million pieces, I was really being just one thing: Idiotic.
I swear I will rise above all this criticism and bad-mouthing and bitching behind my back and prove that I am anything but ordinary.
It's okay if you think I am useless or below you or not as smart or as pretty or just simply incomparable.
Because I know I am so much more than that.
It's funny how I was just telling Chekkie last night that my life has been reduced to nothing but a sad routine, and someone else was telling me that life is so much more than that.
Now I'm taking myself by the shoulders and shaking myself hard...because I realise life is NOT more than this.
And all I've got now is to Keep Moving Forward....
It's funny sometimes, you realise you don't really know who the people who are REALLY close to you are anymore...
