Lonely…I am so Lonely…

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

Hmmm…Although I just entered an entry yesterday night, somehow I still feel like writing today. Think it’s because I’ve got nothing better to do today. Yesterday the lecturer from my leadership blah blah course (aka Russell Peter Lookalike) recommended us one book, "7 habits of a highly efficient person". And I was wondering this morning as I went to school, is being lonely one of the 7 habits? I woke up alone this morning, went to school alone (though I met Cat at bus stop), work out in the gym alone, walked to canteen alone, drank my coffee alone, ate my lunch alone, checked my email in the library alone….it wasn’t until 1430 that Alice came along and made me feel that I have friends…wahaha! I know it’s a bit inflated…it’s not as bad as I make it sound please. But really, I was very efficient the whole morning, no need to wait for friend to arrive, no need to wait for friend to shower finish, no need to wait for friend to finish eating….hehe….that’s why I thought being alone is a habit of highly efficient people. Think about it…imagine going shopping alone…whopping efficient!

I tried so hard to create this afternoon free so that I can go for a haircut but damn janet is off today! How can that be? She always has off days on Tuesdays I remember. Anyway…there goes my hair cut, guess I have to wait till Saturday, or next week.

And would Mr Sunshine kindly wake up tomorrow morning! It’s about time! I booked the tennis courts already so you better!

Money come Money come

Received a sms from weiqiang about a weekend job that pays not bad…was initially struggling within myself to take it on or not (money or time for school)…gave an initial no…but was eventually convinced by weiqiang to do it. Well it was a roadshow at Heeren for a new magazine (the magazine that brings you into the celebrity world) and our jobs were actually coolie in nature…pour the shit whenever the bucket is full and wipe the shit whenever somebody shits in his pants. Sigh…looking at the people who does this kind of events thingy…they are all very similar….the marketing guy was some sort of raging with female hormones…the system guy was those who ate 3 hotdogs a day for fun and smokes 2 packs daily…and the emcee…he just looked like one. I had 2 bosses, 1 female 1 male. Peter was just cool and easy going, but Priscilla, she really gave me a hard time. Really felt that she was a bitch at first, but just at the moment where I’m tipping over my limit, she would back off just enough for me to stay on. Now all the while Weiqiang was the onlooker and he saw every conflict that we had, and he commented that I was too melodramatic and made too big a fuss out of something minor. This coming from Weiqiang, I suddenly felt it might be true. No wonder everytime I work part time, I will almost always have friction with someone. Time to do some self reflection I guess.

Highlight of the 3 day promotion:

Emcee: Anybody wants to win this Philips Travel Iron for free? Just answer this simple question, Who is on the Cover page of our magazine? Hello, Do you have the answer?

Lady who’s been loitering around to get freebies: Angelina

Emcee: Sorry but you must give her full name.

Lady: Angelina Junior

Emcee: Ok let me make this simple for you. Is it Angelina Jolie or Angelian Chan?

Lady: Angelina Chan

Yesterday Tuesday had 3 tuition session in a day…wow was really draining mentally…I couldn’t solve a question that needed me to find LCM and HCF. So I googled it when I reached home…and I was amazed that there was very detailed explanations as to how to derive LCM and HCF, with very relevant examples. I guess you can really find anything there. What can be more powerful than the cyberworld? The real world?

It’s suppose to be my last semester but somehow I’m still taking GEs. This semester after consulting as many people as I can find, we chose GP09 ( some leadership development) The lecturer is an Indian and when I sat down to listen to him, I can’t help but put him and Russell Peter together. Wahaha! They speak in a similar slang…and sometimes when he cracks some jokes…God…Indians make good comedians that’s all I can say.

Will I be a good parent?

Last blogged on Xmas eve, which means I’m bloggin at a rate of 1 per 10 days. I like this speed, not too time consuming, not too less materials to blog down each time. Xmas eve was a free BBQ at Alice’s buddy’s house. New Year’s day was old school steamboat at Shan’s house. I think I enjoyed the BBQ alot…cos I was a free loader…haha! The steamboat was wicked as well. I liked the preparing part. Didn’t realise Jw has good swordsmanship. He can cut the pork and liver quite well….nice and thin. And this year, the prawns did not get a chance to jump out onto the floor, cos Jw put a cup over the plate covering them. Smart. I guess human relations are really hard to maintain. You can’t expect everybody to be warm and have lots of stuff to talk about when we haven’t seen each other for months and months. Felt the distance between us, but at the same time also can feel the closely knitted bonds that we developed long long time ago. It’s kind of a weird feeling, don’t really know what to make of it. I guess we really can’t go back to good old times. It will take alot of effort, from every single one. Everybody’s so busy. Sigh…Are we? Or are we just acting busy? I guess there’s too many commitments as well. Everybody’s heading in a different direction. But I guess we all wish one another a happy new year deep in our hearts.

Hai came over to get his tennis racquet. That bitch, always sit on my bed. But actually, I can’t resist going into his mode whenever I’m near him. He can always bring me into the wacky mood, so much so that even if I’m very tired or moody, I just want to join in his exaggerating wise guy jokes. I guess that’s why I have been smitten by his charm since we 1st met and that’s how we became good friends. Then my kid’s mother called and we discussed about his son’s intention to drop A Maths. And when I put down the phone, I just couldn’t understand why is it that parents always expect us to counsel their kid for them? I just want to teach. True there’s a lot of personal experiences we can relate to them but who doesn’t know they just let it come out the other ear. We can relate…we can advice, but we can’t counsel and discipline. Use capital punishment! Beat your children with canes! I grew up this way and I shall always advocate this way of upbringing. haha…getting abit agitated sorry…but please….please….beat your children. Don’t believe in using love to touch their hearts, they would just trample on your balding heads. At the end of our discussion, hai said something, "Let’s see what kind of parents we would become" Immediately I panicked..haha! It’s easy to judge other’s but when it comes to judging myself, I panick. Guess maybe in the future I would understand where my kid’s mother is coming from.
