I've been meaning to update.. but somehow lately, words have failed me.
To those expressing concern about the recent 'tones' of my posts, I'm sorry if I cause any alarm. It wasn't my intention.
I'm doing... okay.. the occassional ups-and-downs are part-and-parcel of life, and I'm still alive.

Maybe the tight schedule of the past week has finally got to me. Maybe it was matters of the heart. Maybe it's the worry of the financial status. I'm not sure which..
But.. Last night.. I was vulnerable. My emotions were running amok - with high tendency to shed tears.
I had to hear a friendly voice.
So I called someone.
Within 10 seconds he could tell that something was not right, I wasn't my usual self. When he asked why my voice was different and if I were down with fever, my voice broke.
He then correctly guessed that I was crying.
I couldn't tell him why I was feeling the way I did. Heck, I couldn't even properly explain it to myself.
We ended up talking.. Just catching up. I told him of my weekend plans. And my plans for next weekend too.
He asked questions. Simple, and safe questions. And I gladly answered. At least it kept my mind from thinking about things that would pull me down again.

I'm off to PD tomorrow morning, spending the weekend at one of the apartments there.
And next weekend I'll be travelling even further down south.

I thanked him for listening. And apologised too for keeping him away from what he was doing.
One of the not-so-safe questions he asked: Siapa yang buat Yam sampai down macam ni?
I asked him back: Kenapa terus teka it's a 'siapa' ?
He said, most of the time people feels down and upset, it's because of someone. Not something.
"And I think I'm 80% sure in your case it's a 'someone' yang buat Yam macam ni.."
I kept quiet 'cause I didn't have an answer to that.

He told me to call him if I ever wanted to talk about what's bothering me. As tempted as I was to grab that offer, I think, for now, I'll be OK.
Thank you for listening. Thank you.

To everyone, may your weekend be filled with love.
Stay safe ya..
