ThankYouHJ

I have to thank HJ for spending more than two hours talking on the phone with me from NY. Seriously, you better check how much you are paying for that call. Lol..

I have been living by the day; it's much easier, I guess.

Deadlines are coming but I haven't finished most of my stuff! Two more weeks to go!

Fighting!

TheSmurfsSansQiu

Met up with my JC friends yesterday; intitally, I was unsure whether this meeting would turn out well. We have not met up with one another for eons so it might be kind of awkward. I was the first to arrive; this was so unexpected because I am always late for appointment. Then Sharon arrived.



Sweet Sharon, still the same since I knew her when I was 17. I was the only one who attended her wedding last year; Ray was in US, Jen was in Canada and Qiu was in Australia. She looked good. She was always the only one who made the effort to have gatherings. Back then, when everyone was in Uni (Ray, Qiu and I were in NUS whil Jen was in NTU), she always, without fail, organised a gathering when she came back for hols (she was studying at Warwick, UK). The rest of us were super slackers; no Sharon meant no meeting up.



Then Jen arrived, in bright sequinned white dress! Another person who doesn't change. If you think I am a bundle of energy, Jen is triple of mine! Even I felt exhausted just looking at her telling us about her life! The two of us knew each other when we were in the same OG for the first three months. Both of us loved the mass dance! And we loved to cheer too! Somehow we clicked and I was her first Malay friend. Used to find this hilarious until I started being a Potter and found out that I was the first Malay friends to many of my good friends. And we are living in Singapore.



Found the reason why she was dressed glamourously; she was going clubbing. And we were like, "Weren't you from tuition?"



"Yes," she answered, smiling as if it is normal to dress that way to tuition. Jen doesn't change. Despite having a family issue; her mum is diagnosed with breast cancer and is undergoing chemotheraphy, she is still very positive. I wish I can have half of her optimism; I have been extremely depressed nowadays.



Then Ray came; loud, boisterous Ray, mother of two cute girls. As soon as she talked, I realised it was the same Ray. Everybody's still the same. I kind of miss the time when five of us would gather under LT1 and just hang out. Too bad Qiu is in Australia; uncontactable. Ray was asking everybody questions, from Jen's divorce-then-married status, to Sharon's married life, to my are-you-going-to-be-matchmade position. She is leaving in about nine days' time. It has been a long time since we actually have such a gathering. Planning to meet again this Wednesday, before Ray flies off.



I felt better after meeting them. Life seems not so bleak after all.



P.S. Thanks, HJ. I am going to be fine. Fighting!

Reminder..

ya stupid

HaveYouBeen..

Have you been to a stage in your life where you lose your direction and yet, you let yourself be lost because you want to be lost?


Have you been to a stage in your life where you are not wanted and know that you are not wanted and yet, you still stick around?


Have you been to a stage in your life where you feel like a fool and know that you are a fool and yet, still continue to behave like a fool?




I have.

LifeOverTheTwoMonths

So many things happened for the past two months.


I was and am very busy. With work. To a point that I didn't have time to think much about life. That's what I do when I am uber free; nothing better to do but think.


Met up with people who matter a lot to me.


Thanks, HJ. Miss having you here in Singapore. And thanks for offering to lend a ear despite the fact that you are going to be so far away. Don't worry about your silly friend here. I sure hell can cope. Lol.. Fighting!!!


Met up with my girlfriends on National Day. Last year, we did the same thing. I guess as we grow older, we just don't know what to do when we go out. As a result, we hang out at my place. Watch NDP. Lol.. Hope we won't do the same thing next year.

Had a BBQ with my Dedication5. They are so big now. Had a great time catching up. Never knew that such a day would come; this group of Goonies used to give me loads of problems. The most interesting one was when they had a fight in between their prelim break. One of them, in fact, dislocated another boy's jaw; the latter was from another Institution. The fighter now is recuperating from a motorbike accident which occured last April. He's still a fighter; with one broken leg and an arm where the skin actually split and had to go through skin grafting, he still came for the BBQ in his crutches. Great to see him. And the rest too. :)

Of course, have to have a gathering with my Baobeis. Miss them like hell. Their nonsense. Their naughty remarks. And their crazy antics! And I miss my Dear-Dear most of all. Lol.. Am so glad he's back to normal.

Recently, I found out from an ex-Goonie that he used to hate me. I used not to be able to stand him too. Both of us could not be in the same room without me picking on his piercings and he answering me back curtly. One day, I found out about his tattoo and reported him. That was the main reason for his loathing to me. Well.. he told me about this when we went out to celebrate New Year this year. Amazingly, both of us get along well with each other now. In fact, we enjoy each other's company. I don't know how things got around but I'm glad it did. He's actually a sweet fellow and always has a way to make me smile.

twenty28eight ponders if she's a fool for believing in the terms and conditions..
