“Don’t be too downhearted for you didn’t lose anything – she’s the one who lost someone who love her.What did you lose? Someone who didn’t love you.”

Sometimes, there’s a limit to what science and we, the physicians can do. Especially when a friend is currently still in the intensive care unit for a week now.

Details are as vague as they are irrelevant to what’s happened to him.

Pray that He will grant him the strength and resilience to live through this.

Godspeed, my friend.

Arrivederci.

That was her texted reply.

I was saddened, infuriated yet disappointed at what was said.

I hate having to explain myself, what more to her. Friends do not need it, foes do not hear it

No,I don’t get it. I don’t get a lot of things

Why some people have to work so hard and yet failed?
Why the best intentions are often fraught with disappointment?
Why the good people often die young, yet those who intentionally abuse themselves with drugs, food and smoke tend to be more durable and survive longer?
Why some people are never given the chance to prove themselves?
Why do I always lose my tongue talking to you?
Why did the injury occur when I’ve got probably the best team this season?
Why him but never me? Why me but never others?
Why you of all people?
Why do I not have the right to chase my dream?
Why do I have this nightmare instead of my dream?
Why is the knee hurting now?
Why do you not let me in?

But all these questions do not matter much really.

Because I do not need to get it. Just need to keep believing and doing what I have been doing. Fight.

Arrivederci.

I came across this story while I was in college:)

Tree
The reason I’m called tree is because I’m good at painting trees.
Overtime I start to use a tree on the right hand corner as a trademark for all my watercolors painting. I have dated 5 gals when I was in Pre- U. There’s one gal who I love a lot but never dare go after her.
She doesn’t have a pretty face, doesn’t have a good figure, doesn’t have outstanding charm.
She is just a very ordinary gal.
I like her. I really like her. Like her innocent, like her frankness.
Like her cuteness, like her intelligence and her fragility.
Reason for not going after her is because I felt somebody so ordinary like her is
not a good match for me.
I’m also afraid that after we are together all the good feelings will vanish. I’m also afraid other’s gossips will hurt her. I felt that if she’s my gal, she will
be mine ultimately & I don’t have to give up everything just for her. The last reason, made her accompany me for 3 years.
She watch me chase after gals, and I have make her heart cry for 3 years.
She wants to be a good actress and I’m a very demanding director.
When I kissed my 2nd girlfriend, she bumped into us. She was embarrassed but smile & say “Go on!” before running off. The next day, her eyes was
swollen like a walnut. I purposely didn’t want to think about what causes her to cry but laugh at her the whole day. When everybody go back
home, she was alone crying in the classroom. She didn’t know that I returned from soccer training to get something. I watch her cry for an hour or
so.

My 4th girlfriend didn’t like her. There was once when both of them quarreled. I know that based on her character she’s not the type that will start off the quarrel. But I still sided with my girlfriend. I shouted at her and her
eyes was filled shocked. I didn’t care about her feelings and walked off with my girlfriend.
The next day, she still laugh & joke with me like nothing has ever happened.
I know that she’s very hurt but she didn’t know that my heart ache is as bad as hers.

When I broke up with my 5th girlfriend, I asked her out. After going out for a day, I told her that I have something to tell her. She told me that coincidentally, she has something to tell me too. I told her about my break up and she
told me about her getting together. I know whose the guy. He has been going after her for quite a while. A very cute guy full of energy, lively and
interesting. His pursuit for her has been the talk of the school.

I can’t show her my heart ache but could only smile & congratulate her.
When I reach home, the heart ache is so strong that I can’t stand it.
It’s like a heavy weighted stone on my chest. I couldn’t breath. Wanted to shout but can’t.
Tears rolled down & I broke down & cry. How many times have I seen her cry for the man that doesn’t acknowledge her presence too.

During graduation, I read a sms in my hp. It was send 10 days ago when I broke down and cry. I haven’t read it since then. It says “Leaf
departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn’t ask her to stay”

Leaf

During Pre-U days, I like to collect leaves.
Why? Because I felt that for a leaf to leave the tree she has been relying on for so long it takes a lot of courage. During the 3 years of Pre-U I was on very close terms with a guy. Not BGR kind but as buddy kind. But when he had his
1st girlfriend, I learnt a feeling I never should have learnt – Jealousy.
The sourness in the heart can’t be describe by using a lemon. It’s like 100 rotten sour lemon.
Sourness to the extreme limit. They were only together for 2 mths. When they broke up, I hide my strong sense of happiness.

But after a mth, he got together with another gal. I like him & I know he like me. But why won’t he pursue me? Since he love me why he doesn’t want to make the first move? Whenever he had a new girlfriend, my heart would hurt. Time after time, my heart was hurt. I begin to suspect that this is a one sided love. If he don’t like he, why does he treat me so well.
It’s beyond what you will normally do for a friend. Liking a person is very heart wrenching. I can know his likes, his habits. But his feelings towards me I can never figure out. You can’t expect me a gal to ask him right?

Despite that, I still want to be by his side.
Care for him, accompany him, love him. Hoping that one fine day, he will come & love me.
It’s like waiting for his phone call every night, wanting him to send me sms. I know that no matter how busy he is, he will make time for me.
Because of this, I waited for him. The 3 years were the hardest to go through & I really want to give up. Sometimes, I wonder should I continue waiting. The pain and hurt, the dilemma accompany me for 3 years.
Till the end of my 3rd year, a 2nd year junior begins to go after me. Everyday he pursuit me relentlessly. From outright rejection to a point in time when I felt that I’m willing to let him have a small footing in my heart.
He’s like a warm & gentle wind, trying to blow a leaf away from the tree. In the end, I realized that I didn’t want to give this wind a small footing in my heart. I know this wind will bring this badly battered leave far away & better land. Finally I left tree, but the tree only smile & didn’t ask me to stay. Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn’t ask her to stay.

Because I like a gal called leaf. Because she’s so dependent on tree so I have to be a gust wind. A wind that will blow her away. When I first met her, it was 1 mth after I transfer to the new school. I saw a petite person looking at my seniors & me playing soccer. During ECA time, she will always be sitting there. Be it alone or with her friends looking at him. When he talks with gals there’s jealousy in her eyes. When he looked at her,there’s a smile in her eyes.
Looking at her became my habit. Just like she likes to look at him.

Wind

One day, she didn’t appear. I felt something amissed. I can’t explain the feeling except it’s a kind of uneasiness. The senior was also not there as well. I went to their classroom, hid outside and saw my senior scolding her. Tears were in her eyes while he left. The next day, I saw her at her usual place, looking at him. I
walked over and smiled to her. Took out a note & gave to her. She was surprised. She looked at me, smiled & accept the note. The next day, she
appeared & pass me a note and left. Leaf’s heart is too heavy and wind couldn’t blow her away
It’s not that leaf heart is too heavy. It because leaf never want to leave tree
I replied her note with this statement and slowly she started to talk to me & accept my presents & phone calls. I know that the person she loves is not me. But I have this erseverance that one day I will make her like me. Within 4
mths, I have declared my love for her no less than 20 times. Every time, she will divert away from the topic.
But I never give up. If I decide I want her to be mine, I will definitely use all means to win her over. I can’t remember how many times I have
declared my love to her. Although I know she will try to divert but I still bear a small ray of hope. Hoping that she will agree to me my
girlfriend. I didn’t hear any reply from her over the phone. I asked “what are you doing? How come you didn’t want to reply?” She said, “I’m
nodding my head”. “Ah?” I couldn’t believe my ears. “I’m nodding my head” She replied loudly. I hang up the phone, quickly changed and took a
taxi and rush to her place & press her door bell. During the moment when she opens the door.
I hugged her tightly. Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit. Or because Tree didn’t ask her to stay

This is one of the day where I did wish the time would stop

Unfortunately, it’s probably a matter of too much too late.

Avengers was a pretty good watch.
