The Ups and Downs ...

my workmate was having a tough time. after felling down during her trailing last sunday she was given 3 days on mc. after insistence from us she went to see the company doctor yesterday and was straight away referred to a&e. i was talking to another mate about how she has to cope with all thing since she has no one to take care of her. of course i offered her to stay at my place so that at least there's someone there for her. well she couldn't take that offer as she was admitted last night and went for surgery this morning. poor girl, i just called to check on her but she was just out of the surgery so better not to disturb her. but the she called and started crying saying how painful and lonely she was. honestly i was just chatting to another mate of mine on how being single has its disadvantage when it comes to this. yes you have fun and can plan without thinking of your significant other or kids. you can go out without feeling guilty. you have all the freedom or so they said. i am single - single by design not single by choice though ..
yes i have a nephew who i love dearly. yes i have a niece. yes i have sisters whom i can count on to every seconds. even my families here can be count on to anytime - just look at how we were there for my uncle when his wife had brain homorrghea *excuse my spelling*. but still wouldn't it be great to have someone you can really really count on to ...
while i was writing this a friend called asking if i would like to join him to a cruise trip to penang and phuket (no stopping though) as his family is in town. one of them cancel so they have a cabin that is not occupied and chances of cancelling it is very slim. basically it's a nice getaway all free of charge. tempting!! very very tempting but errrkkk... no thank you .. though what i told him was, 'that was a very interesting invitation, unfortunately i can't take leave next week ..' :)
