Hmm... Valentines... what did I do on Valentines day, I bet some of you are wondering. A bit belated to post about it, but then again there was nothing to post about!
People celebrating the beheading of some poor bloke who later became a saint. We exchange roses, chocolates and smooches in memory of this blokes decapitation. What a way to be remembered. I hope when I die, people don't throw big booze parties and orgies or something like that. The reason is simple. I'd miss all the fun!
Valentines was like any other day for me. Except I wrote a poem for Niki which is in my blog some where if you're not too lazy to look for it. Odd isn't it, giving a poem to someone you don't 'love' love... but care about instead. Well I'm an odd person.
I spent most of my Valentines at college. Classes. Woo fucking hoo. The best part is I had a presentation to ... present? Duh!
My presentation was nothing to do with Valentines Day. It was about those crazy motorcyclists and a group of people we call Mat Rempits. Basically a bunch of motorcyclists, mostly malay, who don't give a damn about road regulations, travel in packs and do fancy stunts on their bikes.
Was it a good presentation? I don't know. Belle said she was a bit unnerved after watching me present. So I guess thats a good sign. My lecturer Hardip had a laugh or two, which also was a good sign. For me, it was all in a days work.
Did I get anything for Valentines? Apart from a nasty sms, and a heart shaped card; which I still keep in my wallet; from Niki, it was a dry run. Hehe. I guess I don't make hearts go thump anymore. Then again... I never did... But thats besides the point!
Class ended at 3 and I reached home around 4. I was online talking to some friends and planning to go out with them for a singles night out. Yes. A SINGLES night out. Where we all pretend to be happy being single, but secretly envy the couples. Where we go to a pub and hope to get lucky too.
Unfortunately, I slept at 6. I woke up at 12.30am. So I slept through Valentines! So I guess I didn't really celebrate Valentines at all this year!
Valentines has always been a shitty day for me anyway. I've broken up twice on Valentines. The day is like a marked jinxed spot on my calender.
Chinese New Year has come and almost gone as far as I'm concerned. This is simply because my holidays are almost up! Dang! I have so many assignments due I don't know where to start!
We had our reunion dinner at some chinese restaurant in Crystal Crown hotel. The food was so so I guess. Last years dinner was better; albeit more expensive! Most importantly my ang pow collection has taken a drastic drop! Damn all those relatives for disappearing abroad when its chinese new year!
I gambled a little. Played lucky. I have no idea why its called lucky. Its definitely NOT lucky for me. I played twice and lost money twice. So did the rest of my friends. The only winner was Dennis. Maybe we should gang up and rob him or something. Thats an idea.
I didn't get to play Mah Jong this year as my mom and dad have taken their separation to the next stage. The 'I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire stage.' And my brother doesn't like to gamble. I did however manage to lose some money to my mom at Chor Dai Dee. Amazing since she doesn't know how to play the damn game in the first place.
The new year marks a milestone for me. The cleaning up this year was emotionally draining as well as tiring. I put away a lot of personal items that I kept close to heart and person. So that I could just reach out and look at it any time I want. I've moved on now and put those items and memories away. A fresh start for Chinese New Year. I should thank you for that shitty sms you gave me. It was a wake up call for me indeed.
So here I am. Single. Bored. And loaded. Not metaphorically speaking! I'm loaded with work la! What were you thinking?
a) I've got a 'full barrel' waiting to be emptied into some poor female
b) I'm rich.... HAHAAHAH... ME RICH? The sun would rise from the west... or does it?
I'm a little refreshed from the holiday. But by no means looking forward to fixing that pile of notes, or remedying the fact I'm miles behind on my assignments. I'm content tho. Snooker and yum cha sessions.
Oh and we had a friend reunion dinner yesterday which was nice. Good to see all the buddies together again after a while. Occasions like these are becoming too rare.
Its a realisation for me tho. That as the festivities end, we embark once again on our separate journeys. Moving further apart in our lives. Az won't be around for the casual game of snooker come March the 9th. Ken is more or less settled in Penang. Fang is well.. Fang.
And Lin STILL owes me 300 bucks.
Thats life tho. People doing their own little things. I hope next year's Chinese New Year reunion will again mark a good day and a fun outing with my friends.
Thats all the brain juice I have for now. Good night
