F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Wah
Quite a productive day for the WebQuest Project... did more than i envisaged, so am in a good mood... only downside of the day- rain.
This implies No jogging, which implies more fatty.
ANywayz...
Been trying to arrange dates with friends.
Wanna meet up but well ... BUSY BUSY everyone

Was telling D the other day how difficult it is to meet up with friends these days. He said to meet to them individually loh. Good idea actually... since it has been getting increasingly difficult to coordinate gathering time. But then again, think few would want to just see ME.

Some ladies too busy . As for YJ, its funny! He said he was 'paiseh' (erm) to meet me coz i frankly told him that he used to treat me like shit haha
I think he's prob just fearful of meeting up. He did mention b4 that he's worried that we would have nothing to talk to each other about as we have not seen each other in years.
Well, but our usual clique- QX and S are unlikely to want to meet up too- QX hates me. YJ has no lost love for S.
Erm yeah. So maybe we'll never see one another ever again.
>>>JM & SH: Why did we do that made our (ex)friends hate us?! haha

And somehow, i was never ever in a class where people love one another enough to want to have class gatherings!
6A- well...?
1C,2C- what's that fellow's name?
3G, 4G- dream on and on...
A13- difficult la...

Singapore is so tiny.
Yet finding time to get together is so tough. Then again... erm ..why did i go on and on about this huh...Sometimes do wonder... why is it that we should bother to meet up with friends?
In the past, it was just him him him. When he took off, it was just plain sucky. But friends stuck around... family was around...
Perhaps one other individual can never complete another.
I do feel good after hanging out with friends or just a group of people (like YCK pple and colleagues) Sometimes company makes you feel more alive. Chatting and hearing ideas (or simple senseless talk) bounce off people can be therapeutic i guess.

Maybe i'm a little more Gemini than i think afterall...

Good looks, terrible rears

Morning musings...

Wondering if it was me but seemed to have seen more than my fair share of horrible drivers and pedestrians on the road yesterday. So for the time i was on the road... its plenty of frowning and internal tsk-ing...

Went tiong bahru last night after work to do a stupid project with A. We were at Coffee Bean and just couldn't access to internet! Kinda a wasted trip but we did get something done la...
Digressed, as we always do, i began to tell her about his guy i saw on the train. He was tall enough, clear tanned skin and a really good looking face, almost like Daniel Henney (from My Lovely Samsoon). He was quite pleasing on the eye... until at some point, he turned around and i saw his ass. I'm sorry... but... that was really a terrible rear. He had ok shoulders, though not too broad (is evident that he goes for workouts). But his rear was hardly those you would see on V-shaped body kind. Its just pretty large, not perky...ANYWAYZ
Was i being more critical because he was so good-looking? i dunno... but after spotting his rear... it sorta did a mosaic on this face...
ANyhow, our topic shifted to physique. We concluded that soccer players have the best physique as they use most parts of their bodies and do alot of squats (according to A) Basketball players? Often long beansprouts, slightly slouchy... Swimmers? Lean with broad-shoulders, but waist super small. Butt often flat too (according to A). That's about it.

Anywayz...on the train back home 2 guys caught my attention. Tall, lean, almond-shaped eyes leaning against the glass. Another one... prob middle-aged guy. No great bod definitely, but he's got this strong face. Tanned, with interesting features. I thought it was a day of "good-looking guys" ... 3 in a day. That's quite a lot by Singapore's standard haha!
The lean guy got off at Chinese Garden stop as well... and jeez. He's got absolutely NO rear. He looked like he was wearing size 24 jeans though he must be at least 20-30cm taller than me...

Okie... Maybe I was simply in a rudely critical mood yesterday... its as if my senses were more alert and i was noticing stuff more strongly... Not sure whether i was over-staring... but thought a few pple on the train (whom i threw casts at) did look at me oddly (as if saying " we know you're looking") haha whatever... Do you think everyone has times when their senses were extremely sharp? It did feel so ... erm.
Maybe it's just because I, R, A and me talked too much rubbish over lunch after classes. Gonna miss that.
Shall write more about them next time lest i forget as we part...

Disclaimer:
This is written from observation. No malice intended. I am not a shallow pig who only focuses on looks. It just happened to be the topic of the day k. So defensive. Afterall. I myself am a short fat blimp... shouldn't say too much =p haha!

Life After NIE (A Projection)

Had dinner with SH at JP just now, HX came along too. We ate this chicken and bacon sandwich at Subway... according to SH, it tasted funny- too salty? Coincidentally, M walked passed and sat down with us for a while. Also saw 2 other RV pple from my batch. Well, guess JP/JE are like the playgrounds of ex-Rvians... The west side peeps...

Anyway, great to see the ladies coz it has been some time... Friendship really can't be taken for granted. Like any other relationships, it has to be maintained. Somehow, so much have changed over the years, and we were musing over how we had no friends left .. haha
Happened to be reading this novel ...and thought this is somewhat relevant:
" ...friends take as much work as a marriage, and the advantage of making the effort with them is that they stick around because they want to, not because of some bloody meaningless certificate. "
Guess i didn't do enough to make friends wanna stick around, and i don't even give out certificates, darn!


Hmm... had wanted to talk about life after NIE ... haha
Its kinda surreal, but in about 2 weeks time, my full-time work/part-time studies life would be over (at least for the time being). For 2 whole years, I have been dripping with work and this kind of life will be over soon... Think it just means that i have more time to procrastinate haha!

Well, actually had quite a lot of plans in mind after NIE and i'm hoping that they all materialise! (provided that i stop procrastinating...) Here it goes:

1. Finish ALL my admin work and organise messy workplace, messy room, messy thumbdrive, messy laptop,messy whatever

2. Learn piano> MUST

3. Travel. Somewhere

4. Exercise a lot more (wait for me M! I'm returning to your classes soon!)

5. Bake / Cook regularly

6. Help in fav and xy's business?

7. Sesame streetamise my class

8. Finish lesson plan by Saturdays

9. Tuition?

10. Others (take photos for sch database, CCA stuff, weekly exercise? etc)

Well... anyhow life after NIE may feel abit odd at first (will miss my coursemates) but I am excited... extra 12 hrs per week, not including misc time spent on assignments... GOlly!
=)

Addiction

Its abit incredulous, even to myself...
while i have published only 3 new posts for this month... (this being the 4th)
i have about 6 other drafts ...
random ramblings still sitting and unrevealed to the world... hahah
Why do i have so much to 'complain' about recently huh...
Have I not been talking enough?
Or is it a case of addiction?

If only i can be addicted to my work loh...

Btw, 5th one coming up. haha!

The Importance of Being Earnest

Remembered having read in P's blog that goes sthing like that- If there are no new updates on one's blog, it either means that he/she is too busy, or it simply means that everything is alright in his/her life. Which in both cases are actually good ya...

Writing here again, i guess, doesn't mean that there are major upsets now... Perhaps need to find a little bit of myself back... maybe it just means doing something different rather than browsing through friendster (frankly i'm sick of it, but i have no other computer-based distracters) plus the fact that my laptop does not have zuma... wanting to "run away" from work sometimes is quite impossible... and yeah, the blogs i happen to be reading don't get updated that often... So yay, update my own blog then! how absolutely exciting...

The Importance of Being Ernest is one of my favourite Victorian age movie (haven't actually read the book...) with all the fluff and English accent. All the pompous witty verbal bantering... hohoho, i like...
I have no idea why i'm talking about it ... it just popped into my head.
You get the idea- boredom renders one illogical and irrelevant

BUt anywayz, it is very important to be earnest ya?

right.

p/s: i have no idea that i have so much to ramble about..
Since we're on the topic of victorian age... repression?

A Load of Bleh

Not sure what's wrong with me also
Unmotivated.
Like a dull pulse drumming away...
Feel really guilty that i am not doing more at work or NIE... I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.
i swear that my life and schedule is pretty much the same... We don't see each other that often, nor do we talk much on phone or online...
What is it then?

A thought suddenly struck me that day on the cab "Could it be that i cannot commit to anything/anyone for more than 3 years?"
I must say that Varsity days were probably the best years... but the last semester was really a struggle. My previous r/ship didn't last beyond 3 years too.
And now, its as if my energy and enthusiasm for my job is starting to wane ( 2.5 years.. approaching 3 years mark)
What's happening?!
I still love my kids, love my colleagues, love my school... love seeing them laugh and love how they make me laugh...
Yet... feel so weary and dreary at times.
Was it that i didn't do enough, hence the reluctance to face them?
Or was it that i am really done with this...
Really hope not, coz i still have 2 years of bond to go... jeez
Do i need something new?
Or should i just slap myself silly, and simply get my ass moving?!

Have also mentioned to a couple of friends that i feel as if i've lost part of me... or lost stuff ( whatever that is) along the way...
Emotions/compassion/passion (whatever) just goes dripping and leaking like a old knackered tanker as i trudged along...
Somehow lost the capacity to really think... all internal wonders or wanders are senseless without any conclusion, with no destination in mind...

Have absolutely no idea what i'm driving at too
Whoa, look at all the metaphor related to vehicles. Maybe i totally dig a car and i din realise it?! haha ... yeah right
crap

Disgusting (common) Warts

Spotting a wart on my finger. And another huge disgusting one on my toe.
Major turn off...

As defined in Wikipedia:

"A wart is generally a small, rough tumour, typically on hands and feet, that resembles a cauliflower. Warts are common, and are caused by a viral infection, specifically by the human papillomavirus (HPV). They typically disappear after a few months but can last for years and can reoccur. A few papillomaviruses are known to cause cancer. Certain types of warts, depending on location and cause, can be contagious from region to region, but are not transferable between species."


Should have gotten it removed long ago... classic example of how procrastination causes a build-up of problems... the burden gets bigger and larger and more disgusting. So much so that you can't even bear to look at it anymore...

Yet... this procrastinator is still procrastinating. Will this idiot never learn her lesson?! Grrr

Anywayz... some action has finally been taken... can only hope that they disappear after a few treatments... which still means a huge hole in my pocket also. Sigh.

Handsomely rewarded

Saw Elvin Ng today! Was jogging with Dad and ta-da!

Have not found any male artiste from TCS drool-worthy since Chew Chor Meng (that was when we were both young haha). Although it was only for that brief 2 seconds....

well.. had alot to say while i was drooling and star-struck. now... hmm nothing.

Moment has passed i guess.

WOmen have the right to be temperamental, period.

Its already 2021.

Because. Watched a video of a friend reading her poem. Prompted me to look for what i used to write. Waa laa... Here I am. Didn't ...
