Close call

Five months of stay in the states, cotton-brained me is still unable to get the time zone right. during a phone call with my mom, she was asking me for the hundredth time my arrival date in KL.

me: i told you already, i'm arriving on merdeka day afternoon.
mom: good, that's on friday. are you sure? remember to confirm with the airlines.
me: don't worry, i'm very sure.
mom: then when is your last day at work? don't forget to start packing soon.
me: don't worry, everything is under control. i'm going to the airport on friday nite, cos my flight is around 1am.
mom: what?! you fly on friday nite and reach on friday noon? isn't US already behind time?

hmmm...is that...not possible?

double-checked the ticket (actually i never did studied it closely), shi*t, i think i almost missed my wednesday flight.

Who do you hug and never want to let go when everything goes wrong? I have not been completely open to a lot of people, primarily because the reasons behind the break-up is very personal to me. To explain them is akin to dissecting my heart, i.e extremely painful. When a colleague unknowingly brought up the topic during new year's eve, "How will you be celebrating with your bf?", from my devastated and awkward expression, he actually jumped to the conclusion that i was dumped. Which suits me great, because in this case people usually feel too sorry for you and will not further embarass you with more questions. So i sort ...

Is love compromising?

try as i might, all i want to do is to wave the white flag. it took me five years to realize that i can't change a man. now i'm stuck in a place where i can't move on, unless i choose to give up or just suck it up. if love is about compromise, then mine is not love.
