Fata morgana

fa·ta mor·ga·na n. See mirage
mi·rage n.
  1. An optical phenomenon that creates the illusion of water, often with inverted reflections of distant objects, and results from distortion of light by alternate layers of hot and cool air. Also called fata morgana.
  2. Something illusory or insubstantial.
Sorry dear! I'm in an extremely hectic pace at work right now lah.

I'm sooo.. sorry. I'm very busy right now I don't even have time for myself.

Disappear from the radar for a while.

Hmm.. I'm not sure about this one lah. I only knew one way to do it and this is a bit complex even for me.

Sure! No problem! But that would cost you RM500 per job.


I'm thinking of all the different ways to say 'NO'. Outright rejection? Evasion? Feigned ignorance? I kinda like the last one. Maybe I should up the figure eh :) If for some reason I still have to do the job for friendship sake, at least I got some money for the effort.

Sometimes 'friends' managed to show you are only good for one thing coz they only look for you when they want you to do something for them.

The moment they call and you ask what's up they'd go beating around the bush, insisted they just call to say Hi and ask some questions about you that you thought they really wanna know how you've been doing and really care. The illusion was quickly shattered when they finally get to the point of why they called.

You can't help but think that all those time you were talking about your life, they are listening half-heartedly, all the while thinking how and when they should butt in with the real request. Makes you feel very, very and extremely insignificant isn't it.

Makes me feel like I should give some respond to the mamat selling nasi kerabu, at least he likes me for ME. Or maybe one ex-rocker for his relentless effort to win my handphone number and my heart.
