The non-updates

Alot has happen within the two weeks of my non-update.

Most glaring of all, was my feeling over a friend...i was rather upset for a while by how a close friend treated me when he was short on cash. I guess when we're a lil tight in the wallet, we tend to be tight around the neck too...in this case, its the necks of your friends that we are trying on. Some people might have reacted differently given the situation but i guess when we are facing issues...each of us have our own ways of handling them. Some may have done so in a self sustaining way, some...will play it on others and push most of the frustration on; in this case...will always be one of your closer friends. Perhaps to think in a better perspective, it is because of my friendship with this person; if it hasn't been good, he wouldn't have dared to conduct such an act on me. Oh well...i guess life goes on...

Now, apart from having to vent further on the earlier point(i think i have vented enough already)...life hasn't been that bad. E2 starts today. I have moved from doing the same SOLO mundane moves in Wingchun to sparring with a partner now. I think I'm progressing pretty well. I should show those people who thought its a joke that i'm taking WingChun classes. Pffftttt....

Last Saturday's Annual D&D was a blast...despite me having a sore gum and wasn't able to eat much at dinner...and not to mention another year without any luck on the draws (sighs!). A sony laptop, a trip for 2 to shanghai...and not even a 1000$ shopping voucher :( . What was the blast then? I would have thought i may have to escort some aunty home right after dinner, but turned out...me, the aunty and a quite a number of the hot-heads went on to a club right after dinner. 70 floors above. It was no heaven; quite the contrary...there we commited sins. I haven't stayed that long in a club for ages (though i still think the DJ sucks)...it was not till the lights were all on that we realized its time to go home and get some sleep. The next day, i woke up with half my face swollen and a sore butt. And i had to take a day off on Monday. Maybe its time to consider retirement.

Then i have my Night Festival event coming 2 weeks from now. I'm already getting slightly spirited about it. Hopefully its gonna be something fun. This Saturday I'm gonna help Kev shift his place, im just hoping i dont have to sit at the back of a lorry; but then again...it might be a good experience, such thing dont come often anyway...and i have got that 5 clicks Race Against Cancer run on Sunday morning. These days, 5km is like 'eating vege'. I may sound a lil arrogant but hey...if its vege...its vege ok! Robot is expecting me to think of a good b'fast place...obviously to him, the 5km is really nothing to worry about...the b'fast venue would be a bigger headache in this case. I should start getting to know my area more, after all the race is just around where i live...wouldn't wanna end up proposing something like McBreakfast...its gonna look bad.

Ohhh...and last friday, we met up with this friend of ours...one who we haven't seen for a fair bit of time. She came marching with the new soulmate. Not that we have seen any ex(s) before, but then...knowing this girl...i guess she's all contented with what she has now. After all, its her 'ambition' to get married someday. If you're reading this, yes...i'm talking about u! :P But frankly, we are all very happy for you =) really!!!

An achievement...of sort.

It was not too long ago that i bragged about how i'm occupying my Tuesday nights now. Today marks the end of my E1 French. As one of my classmate quotes "It is sad but yet a relief". Coming from someone who had to drag her very soul to class every Tues. I couldn't find any better word for her than a 'relief' indeed. Though i doubt she would miss using the language much, but i guess this is not something which you will find in everyone.

I'm moving on to my E2 next week. My new found ability makes me hunger for more. I'm seeing myself reading more and more; trying to figure out the speech pattern or even try to construct new lines for everyday use. It is tiring, yet enjoyable. Something which i hope i can keep up for a fair bit more.

Ohhh and tonite, there's more! Time to have some fun with my newly downloaded iOS4! Hopefully i dont break this thing till i get my new replacement =)

The next in line

After the news break on the next gen of iPhone today, i have silently let go a breath of relief which i have kept held since 2 months ago. My old 3G was giving me alot of unwanted mutes as of late, I couldn't wait any longer to chuck it aside and quickly embrace the new 4G which will be hitting stores here by early July (or so, it was reported). I know my contract is coming to an end pretty soon...but i wasn't so sure when it would be; a quick check from the webby just now confirmed and somewhat made my sluggish after-francois-nite a lil better. Here's hoping i dont have to bruise myself elbowing my way thru the Q come July.

Making a turn

It's another rainy morning. The weather is getting a lil unpredictable these days. It was all hot and sunny yesterday; it's close to 11am now, the heavy rain clouds are still hanging in the almost mid afternoon sky. Maybe another downpour in the afternoon wouldnt be such a bad thing after all.

I've got a call from the musuem on Monday, a call which i have been waiting for and thought would probably not arrive. I applied to be a volunteer at the musuem's Night Festival event come July two weeks ago. I wrote in with my application form in which i had to admit, i didnt spend alot of effort on. But my hopes were high back then thinking I would probably get it regardless of my lack of effort in answering the questions on the application form. After 2 weeks, when my hopes were dampening and almost diminished to nothingness (esp after i chanced on an article in the papers about volunteer work in musuems over here are overwhelming high); i got a call right after lunch on Monday inviting me over to the national musuem for an interview come Saturday. I was thrilled! And i spent the rest of my afternoon telling colleagues, close friends etc about it. Yah, i realized i'm somewhat of an attention whore. I get excited too quickly and i had to tell everyone i know about it...then after i'm done or ran out of air, I lay flat like a balloon. I dont feel that much of the thrill anymore, not to say i'm not interested...it's just the spark to actually tell people about it has died a little somewhat. I'm still eagerly awaiting for Saturday. It's my first volunteer work of such and i do not know what sort of interview it may be, what questions i would be asked, how should i dress, what is expected of me...and even i'll get selected for the job in the first place. Though most of my friends were saying they have confident i'd get it; at this moment i would rather keep my hopes a litle lower. I know i wouldn't like the disappointment.
