End of a saturday. And the start of sunday has been another low point. Am at home, everyone is asleep. Its a silent night. Been a tiring day. The lower back is hurt. Its moments like this, wished i was shorter. The kids have been a joy to be with. Seeing their smiles and laughs, an instant relief. Looking around, a pile of files from office that needs attention. Will make an effort to go through them later.

Time to lighten up. I have never been good at handling breakdowns in close friendships. And there has hardly been any close friendships. Three of them, one slowly recuperating in a casual manner after years of silence. The other, now, drifting further apart as the days pass by. A third one, still going strong. Someone who keeps in touch, and enjoy each others' company. Chatted once, and met almost the same day i think. And we've been good friends since. In the meantime, i've had 2 daughters, and she's married.

I must save something here. A general observation on the chat rooms, particularly Kuala Lumpur global chat. Here goes.

1. Hello and its different variations incl. salam, is the most frequently used words on chat
2. The number of "hello" one gets upon entering a chat room, contrary to popular belief, is NOT indicative of how popular the person is.
3. Its a free world. Everyone is entitled to say or type whatever they wish. Therefore it should not be proper to chase away anyone. This would include flooders and booters.
4. Everyone however has the right to ignore anyone they please for whatever reason.
5. Everyone has the right to curse and swear at anyone they please.
6. In most cases when it comes to women, the older they get, the younger they pretend they are :)) The same with guys? Am not so sure about that.
7. The new guy in chat, will hit on every female ID or every ID which he cant comprehend whether theyre male or female
8. The new chatter will believe every single thing another chatter says. There are exceptions though. Some believe every gossip they hear, regardless how absurd it is.
9. The longer one is in chat, the more one realises, its mostly a drama (play acting)
out there.
11. Most women, esp. the aunties, want everyone to agree with whatever they say. To disagree and critic, would be a great sin, resulting in tantrums and bitching around for ages
12. Taking into 11 of the above, some will be very outspoken, to the point they wont give a damn about what others feel or think. Unless of course, the others are paying that someone's bills
13. A big number of people there do have sleeping disorders.

Now, done it. Its past 2am here.

Why do i stay online for long? Golf is on, and Mr Woods just stretched his lead to 6 strokes, and he's only at the 6th hole in his third round. Weir and Verplank in 3rd and 4th respectively. Would be great if they could maintain till end of day. Am at position 665 out of 265,313 taking part in the yahoo fantasy golf game. Hoping to break into the top 50. Wishful thinking, but what the heck. Need such distractions in life. Cant wait for EPL to start.

Signing off for now.
