White Lie

"Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cuz we're faced
with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes, things simply catch
up to us..."
"..Truth is still absolute, believe that. Even when that truth is hard and
cold and more painful than you ever imagined. And even when truth
is more cruel than any lie."
-taken from bugbitesandco (hope you don't mind! =)


She asked "kitorang ni teruk sgt ke?"
And I answered "to me, you guys are not bad at all"

I lied.

She was hurt and sad.
I couldn't even mutter the truth.

It could be better, I said to him in the morning when I knocked on his door.

But it didn't work out.
One day, you'll grow out of it all.

oh well believe me, sometimes just sometimes we have to really be a lil bit self-centred ayte. after 26 yrs cruising down this road called life, you and i know that we really need to be comfortable with ourselves first,then eventually we can make other people comfortable...

its ok. i think 'they' will understand.


happy happy weekend honey.

yea well, i don't expect them to understand. i just hope they'll grow out of it. responsibilities and considerations are not exactly things that we just 'understand' about, eh? thanks for your kind words, babe. feels good to know someone there to relate to.

talk about self-centered. sometimes..? a bit..?
more than often - especially in this world and age - i think we have to be selfish. someone wise said, "by the end of it, it's all about us"

*best masak on gas stove nih.
*you have a good one, too!

Hazz says: Yes, we were inconsiderate and irresponsible. we were irresponsible bcoz sometimes we dont have time to wash the dishes in order to get to uni on time and finish our assignments and we were inconsiderate because we made noise with our frens until 5am. but then you have to look at yourself too. from the start we thot u only stay at the village for awhile, you know datang twice a month or something but then tgk2 you stayed there for 10 months. to add to the situation, you brought all your kitchen stuff and food at the village sampai kitaorg nk put our food pon dont have any space. cabinet for pinggan mangkuk were filled with your overflowing food and it was really messy with bits of food in the cabinet. i x larat nk keeps things organize in the cabinet, same thing wif the fridge. so tell me, how are we gonna put our leftovers in the fridge when 80% of the content is your stuff? The evidence is you can see the leftover when you cleared out your stuff in the fridge when you moved out. only small portion was our stuff. there's nothing left for us to do but to leave our leftovers on the table. and then you said khairul is clean freak and keeps bickering about us to you. instead of complaining it to us, why dont you help clean the place. after all your living there for free and you have ample of free time. if i have the time like you do, i would clean the place every week but i dont. the least i can do is clean the place once a month. as for the stove, i did clean it after i used it but i guess you didnt notice it. furthermore, we rarely cook. therefore, were not perfect and your not perfect but its not nice to lable people when you yourself were being inconsiderate too. i leave all our housemates problem as a misunderstanding. after all, it was khairul decided not to confront us but you did. so, i dont have problem with khairul but i have problem with you.

haz says more: furthermore, if khairul wudn let you clean the place, dont take it out on us. take it out at him coz hes preventing you to contribute in the hse. like i said, if i had the time i wud do all the cleaning coz im not fussy and i like the place looks clean and organize. anyway, we did our best to keep things in harmony between each other but we both failed. if the four of us sit down n talk things thru n come out wif a solution, im sure it could be better. but clearly, some things are best to remain unsaid. like i said, khairul didnt confront us so to me it was all just misunderstanding. different people hav different ways. some times you just have to deal with it.
