Helplessness
Life is an echo. You get back what you send out.
My friend just got his hair cut. It's cool especially with the two shaved off portions along both sides of his head.
I asked him why he had his hair cut that way.
His answer made stunned me.
Helpless.
That's just how i felt.
Aparently, the two strips are not shaved areas although they were done for a reason.
My friend was involved in a car accident 5 years ago.
He and his friend were the only two in the car that night, the car slammed into a tree and his friend died.
My friend was in a coma for 5 days or so before he woke up.
The scars on either side of his head are from a operation which was meant to get the acidic blood out of his face.
How does one react to that kind of information?
Of course there should be some degree of sympathy. But what else?
Ask more questions?
Look on the bright side?
Avoid the topic in the future?
I honestly had and still have no idea how to approach this matter.
What i thank God for is the second crack he has at life. Glad to am i that i have the chance to be his friend.
How would you feel?
Yang Mui,
the fever down yet? Seen a doctor yet? Are you even considering seeing one? Should go man~ Shi Min's cousin also down with fever...he even fainted in school... I wouldn't want that sort of thing happening to you dear. Get more rest and get well soon ok?
What doth tomorrow hold?
Only God knows.
Cheers all~

Usually, what I do is not to show sympathy. I might ask more questions, but in the end, what I'd put across is: acceptance of what happened to him; and that whatever the case, the friendship is still there.
Simple, yes. But many of my own friends appreciate that.
Just my way, I guess.
S'up?
