Optimism

Hope. To wish for something with expectation of its fulfillment. Somewhat synonymous with optimism. I dwell alot on the most hopeful outcome of situations. Generally that also means I am disappointed a lot of the time. Thankfully skin like a rhino and a 2 second rebound rate also means that I don't take too much of the failures to heart.

This is probably one of the few times ever I'm hoping I don't have to go back to KL. Ah Kong's down with a stroke. Truthfully, the old man is 92, so obviously I've prepared myself for his imminent departure - its something which plays at the back of my mind quite often. But I want to be there if he's about to go. I want to be by his side and see him. Hold his hand and tell him I love him. They say you regret not spending enough time with the people you love until they go. I won't feel guilty in that regard...but I just need to see him.

Just this one time - I'm hoping I won't be disappointed. I don't care if I never go back if that means he will be fine. So...heres to hoping.
