Seeing the woman walk off to their flat got me asking myself if my neighbour had remarried. My neighbour is an old widower, as far as I know. His wife had died a couple of years ago and he has since been living with his son. Although I may be unsure of his relationship with the woman, it still hurt me to think he got himself a new wife. I mean, I wouldn't want to know my husband remarrying after my death (though I don't know if dead people have the capacity to find out). It's selfish of me, I know. But the thought of it do hurt me, if you get what I mean. Then again, I'm not too sure myself if I would actually remarry if I were a widow and have met someone suitable. After all old people marry out of the sake of companionship, no? Speaking of which, reminded me of Malaysia's Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi who has just remarried today. He married his late wife's sister-in-law after 2 years since his wife's death. Linking an article on PM Abdullah Badawi's remarrying to this blog, is here. Anyhow, congratulations to PM Abdullah Badawi and my neighbour (if my presumption was correct), perhaps they have found the right replacement.
As for me, I just pray to God to keep Kenji and I together until the day we die. I've always wanted to see (and be with) Kenji again in the life hereafter. May God answer my prayer. Amen.

Journal written earlier today (at about 2:15pm):
I feel so lazy - I can't be bothered to go out but at the same time, I don't want to rot at home! The thoughts of going to Expo (I heard there is a kampong (village, in English) exhibition going on in there) with mum, dad and the 'little chicks' are motivating nevertheless. But I haven't finished cleaning my home yet! And am stupidly spending my time online still. Grr...will stop blogging right now perhaps. Hope Expo would be good.
*Shit! I keep editing my posts!! What's wrong with me??*

Quite amusing reading your post. I also edit my post sometimes two or three times within minutes of posting it whenever I discover a grammer or whatnot mistake.
Back to the topic of remarrying, I'm for it as long as it's for the person feels happy. You know everytime my husband looks at me, he goes oh I know you're going to go on with life even if I were to 'go' first. Yes, I love life and I also tend to be quite realistic, maybe I'm a bit cold?
you edit your post a lot too? hmmm, so that makes editing-posts-like-crazy quite normal, I suppose :)
I'm not quite sure if you're cold just because you're realistic. Well, maybe...but isn't it good to be realistic? I'm not, sometimes. Which is a bad thing. And worse, I am selfish. Actually, I should have said this earlier: I wouldn't mind "going on with life" when my husband's not around anymore. I just don't want him to go on with his when I'm not around! Haha!! Shhh...
