In Which Tolerance And Silence Do More Harm Than Good...

On days when he doesn't have work and much of his plan is to simply stay in the confines of his room and chill-lax, he would wish for no distractions whatsoever... Yet as with the laws of the universe dictates, you'll never get what you so desire, which is why he's now being severely distracted by the fury tt has been kept within himself, threatening to break free like his rapidly accelerating heart thrashing against his rib cage...

A favour was asked of him, but having the inability to multi-task and nearing the end of his blogging spree, he willed himself not to be deviated from his then current train of thoughts... For those who do not know him, his thoughts are like the [Jap]'s fastest bullet train placed on poorly built tracks... Or an ant being lost in a maze...

Anyway, he simply requested for some time before he carries out the favour... To him, a mental list consist of all the things tt he plans to do have been drawn up even before the computer is switched on... Tt's precisely the kind of person he is... A clear idea on what needs to be done have to be present before he can function... Spontaneous and suddenly favours tt appears out of nowhere scares the living daylights out of him as he hates the unknown... Afterall, who likes the unknown???

He really likes to complete his blog entry 1st before carrying out the favour which was requested... However, it seems like the other party is lacking some astounding qualities by the name of 'patience' and 'comprehansion' and 'self-reflection'... He has already gave his word to carry out the request @ a later time, say 20 mins later, yet the other party fail to comprehen this as willing to help, but rather, as a sign of rejection!!! In other words, if waiting 20 mins is the equivalance of a nuclear explosion happening right inside his apartment, then deviating from his blogging is potentially fatal as well...

Then there's the other issue... He feels tt for him to snap pics of the events tt he's attended, it is for his own keepsake... In other words, when he looks through the pics in the very distant future, he will remember the past, of the perfectly happy times tt he has experience... Therefore, this is to say tt he does not take photos to post them online for all to see, to show tt he has a good time... Hence, with different objectives, one has to be more understanding if one is to request for the pics tt he has taken, especially if he isn't the sole photographer for the event in question...

Take the recently concluded [STAC EOY 2008] for instance... Since he is the only person with a camera, he understands the urgency of the other party who wants the pics... Compare this with 2 ppl in the group taking pics together, he feels tt the importance in the latter has reduced drastically as person no. 2 would have his fair share of photos anyway...

Perhaps you could say tt in an attempt to please others, he has inevitably allowed them to climb over his head... After all, he could very well have ignored the nudge tt was sent over via [MSN]... Or set his status to [Appear Offline]... Or simply ignoring everything... Yet he did none of those...

He very much feels like starting...

How amusing it is, to see 2 vastly different views on the same issue...
