Little chat..

Had this conversation with one of my good friends in the US.

Me : hey mick! good morning..
Mick : good morning Wan!
Mick : hey, Thanks for making the arrangements for the upgrades!
Me : no probs :)
Me : hey am getting access denied for nrt
Mick : really? are you using putty?
Me : yeah
Mick : it's same password for both accounts
Me : really? it thought it was a different password. thanks!
Mick : no problem. yeah, there are several passwords in APJ
Mick : you scared me, I thought something was wrong.
Me : sorry :)
Mick : that's OK, it was like a mini workout - it got my heart rate up for a few minutes.
Mick : so they are going to activate the DRAC!
Me : yeah but the command didn't work for me
Me : or simply something is wrong with me today (after my friend called and said she ran into my ex today and he looked so happy)
Mick : don't let that bother you
Mick : you need to think about yourself
Mick : there's a million other reason why he could have looked happy, none of which have anything to do with the fact that you guys aren't together anymore.
Mick : maybe he just found some money, or saved a bunch of children from a burning bus.
Me : you're so rational
Mick : in all of the girl movies my wife makes me watch - any time a couple break up the girl spends too much time worrying about what the guy is doing and not enough time doing what makes her happy or looking for Mr. Right
Mick : and you should smack your friend for telling you about how he looked.
Mick : tell her I said that.
Me : lol... yeah she shouldnt have told me. i thought i was handling it alright..
Mick : next time say "work with me here!"
Mick : you are handling it very well
Mick : I haven't read a story on Yahoo! - Odd News about a young lady in KL...
Mick : who ran over her ex, or threw him out of a window, or poisoned him.
Me : you did not mean that! were u referring to me? :))
Mick : kinda - you haven't done any of those things. You seem to be dealing with this very well.
Me : i hope so.. its been tough though
Me : so hey i ran the command but.. [root@KEN****admin]# racadm getniccfgbash: racadm: command not found
Mick : I know. I never broke off an engagement but I can imagine it's 100 times worse than a normal relationship.
Mick : give me a few minutes to check with support. Maybe this kernel has a different utility for the DRAC card.
Me : ok... hey, thanks for everything.. you've been a great friend
Mick : you're welcome. I wish you were closer so we could discuss this over a tripple scoop of Ice Cream.

hey good for ya.. am planning to go soon.. now is not a good time for vacation - too many projects and datelines, plus the firewall upgrade am working on.. phew (not sure if its something good / bad - being busy, that is)

i havent come to terms that my ex and I already over.. trying to however.. we were together for almost 5 yrs, its just hard..

gosh i need to move on, do I? should cut off all these crappy thoughts and talks.. it doesnt help..

5yrs?mine was 7yrs..haha..for me, we(my ex-man&i) stil go out once a week&watch movies.yeah..we remain frens..no more lovie-dovie thingy.

i dont know whether this is the rite thing for us.but hey, no one is trying to get into me!poor me..huhu

u hve to move on.busyness can be a good therapy for u tho!

vie said...

hey may I know how do u do that - going out as friends? did u give it few mths after the breakup then go out as friends? at first i thought its best if i go 'cold turkey'(completely stop) but deep inside me, i know am not that strong, to wake up one day and knowing am not be able to talk or text him anymore.. am such a loser.. sigh.

and keep ur chin up, pal.. am sure the right man will come one day and sweep u off your feet ;)smts its better being single than hook up with the wrong people, ya know..

but to me, i wouldnt worry about getting a bf until i get to 32/33 of my age. i'll start looking once i've lived some of my dreams (esp my master)

yeah.i took 1-2mnths b4 we go out again as a fren.i understand the feeling of having him.the man to text/talk.wat i did, everytime i try to talk/text him,i exclude the lovie-dovie part during the conversation.when i go out,no more holding hands.if he want u back,he will let the e.g.o away.

talk about master.ive got one while waiting my ex-man completing his degree tho.now my parents keep remind me dont take time too long for the phd.pheww~

by the way,did ur family really 'putuskan' ur engagement?or is it btw both of u only?

vie said...

erm ok.. its been a month already for me actually..

yea our families met and it was an official call-off... i respect my dad for handling it alright cos normally it's always tougher for the girl's side (esp am the eldest and the first daughter).. noone to blame here.. maybe its a blessing in disgust...

you never know how much the person loves you until the love is tested, eh? i think love is overrated already!

i rase kan malay guys esp wont go far and beyond for love.. so if u were to wait for the guy's ego down or to wait for him to come to his senses.. is like waiting in vain.. so move on is the only option.

haha..u know la malay guys mcm mane kn?nk kate lembab kang marah plak..upss!i think they r not ready for the commitment in terms of marriage.some of them la.maybe u can see some of his frens also act like tat.stable(means got career) but not ready!its very hard to get a man who just that into u.

i watched a movie called p.s.i love u last nite.recommended!how i wish to get a guy like tat.amin!

yeah some of them, not all.. my ex and I were ready to get married.. it's a very misfortune tale.. but its alright.. things happen for a reason.. God knows best.

and yep i've seen the movie and read the novel.. i like the novel better though.. (actually i read the novel beforehand)..

am waiting for 'maid of honor' and 'sex & the city' movies to be released! and yes, my fave tv series now is grey's anatomy :)
