no gaps

my sis said that GAP is coming to SG. i thought GAP was retailing in SG le. how strange. or was i already used to the name.

and there's no gaps in my day. not enough. (tho now is a good gap to write all these). yesterday i was popping from one place to another in a cab, again. argh...and i thought i could just limit my cab rides on saturdays.

we might get a car. how odd since everytime Ww mentions it, i'll give him the are-you-sure-you-want-a-car-coz-it's-not-necessary look. and i always say that i'll not learn driving unless i can afford a car. but it seems...i'll have to start learning soon. for the future, for my work and for Ww's studying.

To Be Someone Else's Best by Raymond Chang
"
"I was presented with an interesting question recently: "If you could only tell your future kids one thing and one thing only, what would it be?

Life is all about the people we know and know us. There is nothing more important than those who will mourn at our funerals and be a significant part of our weddings and be present all the rest of the days of our lives. If you really take some time to think about it, relationships make and break experiences; they enhance our lives and give us a reason to wake up in the morning. Relationships are what life was made for.

To be someone else's best means that everything you do is for the relationship. To strive to be someone else's best means that you care so much about them that you are always there to support them, to encourage them, to understand them and to experience life with them. To be someone’s best is to think about him or her daily in order to support their life, help them develop and give them something to chew on to grow. It means that you will go out of your way to sacrifice for them, to participate in the things that are meaningful to them, and to help them achieve their dreams. To be someone else's best is to be committed to be his or her support, aid growth and give comfort. To be someone’s best is to love them always and not judge them.

Think about the ways you can be someone else's best. If your aim is to be someone else's best, a transformation will take place in your life that will affect the way you see, treat and love those around you. This will be the catalyst towards an intimacy that you haven't experienced before and will continue to deepen your relationship. Along with also being vulnerable, you will find that the reward is an intimacy where trust prevails, and there is a mutual honoring, respect and love for each other."

when you have no time..it's hard to be anyone's best. tho last night i thought i could stay late at office to finish up my work and Ww called to go out for dinner, and i thought...nvb i'll do my work afterwards. so we popped by TM for yoshinoya, didn't walk around tho, and bought our fav coffee bean coffee to go, and walked home. these are the things and gaps in the day to spend with each other. but sometimes i find i don't have time for other people, people i want to meet, even my family...(meimei sms-ed to call for help for her exams...another long day out but how can i leave her alone?), time with long lost friends, even time with close friends, and time to visit my grandma (my mum has been like nagging me about it).

i hope this busy period will end soon.
