Given that the previous post was a little too harsh, i shall now clarify certain issues. Actually make that one. When i posted the post, it marked the end of my anger, as in I have been actually pissed for quite some time before i wrote anything there. Now I am in a non chalant state. It is greatly relieving to be able to let go these unnecessary burdens so that i can concentrate my efforts on other things.
onto the highlight of yesterday. Well well, it was shmeen and red-earth's combined birthday celebration in the east of Singapore. Nothing short of a who's who in medfac were there. The 2 class reps, Numero Uno on video, Scumz of Medfac, Luciano, LT 28 Row girls, MCF and many many more like the online gangs and the miscellaneous friends from many parts of the far flung world. Must admit that the food was nice and it was quite a deja vu to see where it was catered from. I wrote out a cheque to them once. A nice corner terrace it was with absolutely friendly neighbours who provided most of the seating arrangements. Lovely hazelnut cake and of course wonderful company and lovely games. Must say that they are very good hostesses. And of course we had a gust of artic wind as the polar bear came to visit. Nothing short of the VIP as he ursurped Tun Tan in the popularity stakes with both girls gushing head over heals to be sitting next to him. Look out for the blackmail photos. It was very enjoyable I must admit.
moving on.
After going home, i tried to write a card. But it failed miserably. I thought so long but nothing came forth. I tried to begin but words left me. It shall be the hardest card i will ever write. Maybe because of certain things that have happened recently, i find it extremely hard to write anything remotely personal. A slight cold slant on my part, it is absolutely impossible to write anything now even though i have to write it soon. It is really really very very hard. I don't know how to write as there are so many things such that words are inadequate to express. I don't know how i am going to do it but i will have to do it soon. Running out of time.
Speaking of running out of time, i tried to do something yesterday to alleviate a headache but i think it was an absolutely miserable failure on my part. I can't believe that i actually miscalculated my journey time and in the process it took longer than expected. And guess where i was quite late? I don't know what got over me to do things like this but well, sometimes there are certain things we just follow our heart and not our minds. But it is not exactly very pleasant to get caught in the post-work crowd at bedok. It is an absolutely mind boggling experience. I mean where i stay is relatively quiet. There is barely any cars there and people too. Now i understand why private estates value the privacy so much. It is an absolute din. And it wrecks a great deal of havoc on the roads and the buses too. I don't think i would ever want to live in a HDB estate. Not least in Bedok. Maybe some small estates instead of XXX new town.
Another insight. Another conversation. Another period of time. Another scandal. Another day.
