not been updating for very very long… took a vehement protest by grace before I finally got my ass down to writing an update J

 

been suffering from an extreme lack of life. ever since I came back from the genting trip, it has been work, tuition, band, work, tuition, band, and well… the cycle repeats itself. these few days, I’ve started to realise that I’m missing my friends a lot. haven’t seen them for almost a month I guess…

 

the kl trip was fantastic and economical. went with a friend from jazz band, and stayed at his auntie’s house over there. best thing of all was to finally see the chelsea players live. right there, playing their fantastic football right in front of me. and winning on penalties. heh. overall a really enjoyable trip.

 

then after that it’s basically been tuition and jazz band stuff. kinda guilty having not gone to wind symphony practice for almost a month, but somehow weekday nights are bad for me. this coming week promises to be worse – monday: jazz band, tuesday: wind sym, wednesday: 2 tuitions, thursday: dunno whether to go jazz or ws, friday: tuition.

 

so guess that’s my life (or lack thereof) now. really looking forward to the jazz fest period, where the LCJO guys finally come down, and then get everything over with, so that I can get down to school life again. weird that I’m always the busiest over the holidays, and everything settles down when the school term starts. promised to be a nerd this semester, so I’ll have to slog like a horse to pull off better results.

 

somehow can’t think of anything specifically in particular to say. maybe an incident last night. was around 11.30pm, on my way home, when I passed by a road block on the expressway beside my house. there was this auntie who alighted from the same bus as I, and she asked me what I thought was happening. (in chinese). I guessed that it was just a routine check, but she was worried that there was some fugitive or something, so I slowed down my pace to walk with her in case she felt threatened or something.

 

so we started chatting, her asking me what I was doing, oh, still studying? poly? oh, university? you look so young? so have you worked in the vacations? and along this train of thought till she got to her point:

 

she’s another freaking irritating multi-level marketeer.

 

there’re too many of such people around!!! (I wanted to say rats, but I’ve got some friends as well, so heh)

 

so she ended up trying to persuade me to try etc etc… try selling, not interested? try buying then?

 

anyone in your family takes health supplements? your grandma got arthritis?

 

nope. (I lied)

 

you sure?

 

I gave her a glare. you trying to curse my family?

 

profuse apologies… (but of course, she’s trying to sell me things)

 

nono, I didn’t intend to curse, just wanting to confirm with you.

 

then the Understanding Me took over. of course I don’t mind. just that other people might be offended if you ask them if they’re healthy, they say yes, and then you ask, you sure?

 

and so we ding-donged at her void deck with her trying to get my phone number. (it’s the first time a female’s trying to get my number and I’m not giving!!! but wtf, she cannot make it heh)

 

and surprise surprise surprise my persistence stayed on, and I managed to shake her off by just getting her name card.

 

and promptly left, beginning my process of forgetting how “the Government is supporting my company, we have a paid-up capital of $10million, we have stability for at least the next three years yada yada yada…”

 

whew that was a mouthful.

 

just to illustrate how plentiful multi-level rats are today.

 

oops. slipped my mouth. multi-level mouseketeers. I meant. no, marketeers. heh.

 

 

on a different note, been helping a lot of people with their understanding of the university system. my batch guys are finally in, and girls two years my junior too. glad that I’m able to help them understand that goddamn complicated system the administration put in place. heh.

 

 

yup, and yet another note, think it’s going to be another possibly long time before I blog again, unless something interesting happens. (which I don’t foresee happening). idea for another fictional story has begun to pop up in my head, but I’ll consolidate my ideas before I write it. it’s gonna be something uncharacteristic of me. J

 

guess that’s it for now. (oh did I mention I have many pretty colleagues in that associate work I’m involved in? heh. going to work has never been a breeze, till I got this job. haha… pity they’re mostly older than me J)

 

that’s it.
