as good as? its relative, sadly.

"Why just can't you be as good as your sister?!"

"Why can't you get good grades?"

"You're a poor kid. He's rich. That's the difference."

"He's of a well-built! That's what!"

"Its true. I'm nothing... as compared."


Compare compare compare. Its not as some things can be helped even if compared. And its a blardy vicious cycle, like eh, literally.

Know when its the worse? Its when you start comparing yourself. Blinded of the fact that everyone is unique... even that you know.

That's what I always feel. haha. Life's a paradox. :)

Goodbye.

They were together for 6 years, since secondary 4. There were the troubles and breakups in between, but they were still together. But because of the time, the love they shared began to disappear.

The time has came. Mare had to leave Singapore, to further her studies in Medicine of Universite of Larnex. Though Abel was also able to pursue his dreams as a Lawyer in the University of Larnex, his family was unable to support him financially. However, it was not a decision of which they had any influence on.

It was the day of her flight.

"SQ1734, 1330Hrs. " She reminded herself. While she was waiting for the flight, friends and relatives came to send her off, but there was no sight of Abel. She was there since 10, and it was already 11. Abel was occasionally late, but he would always try to be on time, or at least inform her if he would be late.

But this time... Nothing. Nothing at all, on her last day in Singapore with him. It suddenly came to her mind of which how Abel kept cancelling their appointments few days ago too.

"Maybe, Abel had a change of mind. Maybe, he doesn't like me anymore. Great, saves me the trouble of being the bad person." She thought.

She checked in at 12.

No tears would be able to fill his void. He was at the airport at 9am. He didn't want to let her see him; It was too hard to say Goodbye.

The story of Nosay.

Nosay, a village that was believed to exist in the 13th Century on the far ends of China. Rumored to possess the blood of the Sumija, a race that legends have reported once and again about their superiority over mankind and decided to cut all ties of the material world, Nosay is said to have the most talents and great plots of lands.

But there was a problem. Though there were talents and large lands, an epidemic struck Nosay and caused permanent cerebral paralysis for those who are infected. This resulted in the large decline of talents in Nosay.

Shamain, the Village Chief gathered the remaining talents for a meeting, to discuss the fate of the village and those who were affected by the epidemic.


"Let us put them to sleep!" One talent said.

"NO! We should take care of them instead of killing them! They are all once our comrades!" Another protested.

"But how?!" The Village Chief asked.


They finally came up with a plan eventually. And as the meeting ended, the Village Chief gathered the townspeople, and announced,

"People of Nosay! We should all stand together to fight this epidemic! Although they might be mentally challenged, their kids that might suffer the similar case, WE SHALL SUPPORT THEM TILL THE END!"

Appluase filled the air. The townspeople felt touched, especially those familes that the epidemic took their happiness away.

"But how, my sire?" One asked.

"Nosayians! We shall appoint those with the epidemic as our leaders, and hope as time to come, they would be able to recover! And for those who are not affected, they shall work hard to make the village successful!" said Shamain.

And so it did. Those who are affected are appointed as the leaders of the village, and ruled the village, while others slog their guts out to support the village. But as time went by, the leaders kept making wrong decision and wasted the resources of the village, and eventually...

The Village of Nosay disappeared...
