Confused state

"Hung has a girlfriend, Yee of more than 10 years. They came from the same town where both family knew each other. His girlfriend isn't really his ideal kind of girl. Yee is dependent on him, does not stick to her job long and is thus jobless now.

Elize met Hung at her job place where Hung was a supplier to the company. Elize took a liking for Hung. She admires his maturity, his humanity and his genorasity. Despite knowing that Hung has a girlfriend, both still occasionally goes out for dinner and outings. Elize has known Hung for years and despite that, Hung has never uttered a word of liking towards Elize. Hung has a strong sense of obligation towards Yee. Despite the fact that he may have liking towards Elize and the fact that he spends more time with Elize, he is still very much bounded to Yee. Occasionally Hung will offer gifts and money to Elize. However, Hung supports Yee's living on a monthly basis.

Elize joins a new company soon after and that is where she met Jay. Jay took a liking towards Elize and the feelings grew day by day. Both Elize and Jay get along very well. People mistaken their relationship as a couple relationship but in actual fact, Elize treats Jay as a buddy friend. Her heart is still for Hung. Even after one year, Jay's feeling is still the same. Hurtful Jay sometimes gets confuse for Elize treats him well, she bought him gifts, shares her food with Jay and occasionally flirts with him. Jay confesses his feelings to Elize but Elize maintained that she can only treat him as a friend. After a lapse of one year, Elize still does not recipocrate Jay's feeling and Jay decided that he should move on. In order to do so, Jay started to lessen contacts and communication with Elize.

However, Elize treasures Jay's friendship too much to lose it. She tried all ways and means to communicate to Jay. Jay maintained his distant in his attempt to forget her. When all things failed, she decided to give in to Jay. She agreed to be his girlfriend. In actual fact Elize is confuse. She realises that the man she really loves could not promise her a future and on the other hand, there is Jay whom she adores but does not love, who is ever ready to shower her with love and attention.

Elize decision to become Jay's girlfriend is like a disaster waiting to happen. She gave her best but in her heart she still thinks about Hung. She still goes out with Hung occasionally. Elize told Hung about her going out with Jay and Hung supports her decision. In actual fact, Hung is not able to promise a future to Elize. Many of Elize friends does not know about her new boyfriend. She is not even able to bring Jay back home to her mom.
"


I think human emotions are the most difficult thing to handle. A third party like myself would be able to see things clearly and decipher what should be done. However, everyone has their own life to live and have their own path to choose. Whatever path choosen, they will have to bear the consequences. My prayers goes out to both Elize and Jay. May they find the true path one day.

Facebook

Ah! The beauty of Facebook. I found some of my old friends through facebook. These are the friends whom I have not met for like more than 15 years. Yea.. all of us getting old at the same time but has different destiny. Emm... let me re-cap some memories of old buddies in school...


Tammy - By heart, she is a dancer. She would be the one who search the dance moves, cheorograph the steps and mixed the songs. In school we join dance performances together. To think that we actually copied Michael Jackson dance moves! Of course there is the classic Patrick Swayze moves in "I had the time of my life". Found Tammy on Facebook. She is the first old friend I found in Facebook. From the pictures she posted, I believe Tammy is doing what she enjoys - dancing.


Andora - She has always been a good friend. My best of friend where we practically did everything together in school. Andora used to have birthday celebration every year and I never fail to attend her parties. She has a loving family, the friendliest parents. She is like family to me. Have recently asked her to join to get in touch with old buddies.


Chai Peng - That is the name we called her. She is now known as Jocelyn. She has a certain kind of mixed look, not too chinese. We were in the same class .. I think in Form 1? She recently found me in Facebook and started posting old photos. Through her, I found some other friends too. She is married now, as I know with a daughter .. and is happily residing in US. The power of Facebook, regardless of distance, you can still be found!


Kathryn - Hyper active girl who talks at the speed of a bullet. There are no full stops to her sentences. That is my recollection of her. I wonder is she still talks that way? We were "schoolbus mate". Also happily married.


Suzanne - Never really did know her that well when we were in school but we bonded after SPM while working part time cashier in Super Komtar. A very down to earth person and a good friend.

Ah.. long list of friends if I try to recall of them. Would be nice to have a gathering of old buddies. So much has changed. The different journey that each of us took. I bet it would be one hell of a gathering sharing the life we have been through the past 18 years since we left school... wow!
