Great Expectations...

Hey Dear,

Remember this show? Great Expectations starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethane Hawke. Remember the classic scene whereby the young gal gave the boy a "wet" kiss at the water fountain? And many years later, she kissed the shy boy again at the same water fountain? Hmmm.. you know what I'm thinking now? *wink*


Talking about "Expectations"... a good friend of mine reminded me about the dangers of having expectations on friends, especially good friends. He's totally right and I'm ashamed of myself for sometimes having "lofty" expectations on my friends. When you expect a "certain behaviour" from someone and if he/she fails to conform to the "standard", friendship suffers. Come to think of it, it's so silly... as friends, we are supposed to just be ourselves and enjoy each other's company; definitely not to "judge" one another. Thanks bro... for reminding me, if you're reading my blog.

Come to think of it, it also reminded me of my expectations of life in general and also expectations on my family and you. I had taken a lot of things for granted. I am guilty of hurting the feelings of my loved ones by sometimes passing insensitive remarks or venting my frustrations on them. I'm so sorry my dear as I start to recall now... some of those moments when I hurt your feelings deeply as a result of my gross insensitivities..

So to hell with expectations and just enjoy life as it is!!
