random thoughts

i swear some of u were bored but became more bored after visiting my blog. my entries have been seriously unentertaining lately. tis is what u'd expect from someone who's been staying home most of the time for the past 1 month. breakfast, lunch and dinner, (almost) all were settled at home. first was the fact that i was sick and so was stranded at home. then it was mom who forced me to stay home for her cooking. she somehow has a way to make me feel guilty if i decided that i'm bored staying at home and wish to dine out.

i doubt tis entry is anywhere near entertaining, in fact, i've jus demonstrated the new theme for swissroll's haven --- B O R E. worse still, tis blog has been perceived as B O R I N G eversince its birth. frankly speaking, i'm not at all bothered. i dont write to please or write what pple like yourself wants to hear. i write for myself, better still if tis blog can survive generations, then it'd be like a memoir for them, my descendants that is (many times, i wish my great or great-great or great-great-great grandparents or grand-somebody leave behind a diary that we can have a peek into their lives then, in that era that they were in).

jus last week alone, i attended 2 family weddings. both in a span of 1 week. sheesh. how did i survive that?!?! (i hate family gatherings, so to speak. not because i'm such an extreme introvert that i hate being ard pple. family gatherings in spore arent family gatherings. u geddit?) gonna attend a church wedding and a dinner on separate days next week. on both days, i'd be in charge of reception. i feel like i'm such a responsible/ gan-cheong person who take my job seriously that i thought of requesting in advance the guest attendance list or sitting arrangement to familarise myself with the names. obviously, if the list is in alphabetical order, then there wouldnt be such a need already.

in the past week, i also spoke to some friends. 2 in particular i was really touched by. david, my only physiology lab partner time after time and ric, my buddy i known since primary school. eversince i was back, i never had such a heart-to-heart talk with anyone except them (other than OH). they opened my heart so i can be myself and rant out my inner thoughts/ concerns/ complaints. also, they listened with such open, non-stereotypical, non-judging mindset that i have no qualms revealing myself. i'm so grateful for their tremendous support, moral and emotional. other than saying i thank god for them, i cant think of what else.

david: a new car and a new course, and tis is jus the beginning of the ride, so it'll take a while before u get the hang of it. but, since u're an experienced driver, u surely have no problem adjusting to the changes.

ric: thanks for the support u've been providing me all these while. i'm sorry i wasnt there for u in sydney tis time round. in time, i will.
