Pencil and Eraser






Pencil: " I am sorry"





Eraser: "For what? You didn't do anything wrong"





Pencil: " I am sorry that you got hurt because of me. Everything when I made a mistake, you are always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lost a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time."





Eraser: "That's true but I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do it. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you replace me with a new one, I am actually happy with my job. So please stop worrying, I hate to see you sad."





Parents are like erasers while their children are like pencils. They are always for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. As they grow old and their children find someone new ( spouse), parents are always happy with what they have done for their children and will hate seeing their children sad.

After reading this, I feel guilty of taking my parents' care and concern for granted. They are always there to help us and we should always be there for them till they grow old and no longer around.

Taking a good break to travel

It's 2011.. I am starting to feel the same way like how I feel three years ago. Cranky.. whiny.. hack care mood. Everyday I dread going to work. I think it is because I am bored of doing the same kind of work. Moreover, I am tired of acting busy and always waiting for 6pm to come. Yet I am unsure of the kind of work I should do next. I feel like taking a good break and travel to countries I haven't been. I haven't been to any places in Europe you know! But I need the income coming.. double sadness. =(
