You'd learn something new everyday:
The tallest man in the world was 8ft 11inch tall. Unfortunately, he passed away at a young age of 26. Sudden inspirations or cravings:
| So much has happened these few days. As I had that weird dream a few days ago, I thought that things have fallen back into routine -- my life is back to normal. [Look, it's normal for me to have weird dreams ok. Don't interpret too much into the dreams. Hehe.] It was but an illusion.
On Friday, both Po Chin and I received an offensive email from Tru, telling us that we have caused his toilet to clog up, demanding that we pay him for the repairs and generally accusing us of taking advantage of him by not saying our thanks. In a very harsh tone. He sounded so pissed I was scared like hell. Then the more I think about it, the more disappointed and sad I feel. The incident has since been resolved, as we agreed to pay for the damages. Tru also apologised for blowing his temper. Nonetheless, we have been hurt by the email. The weird thing is, I understand completely what caused him to get so pissed with us. But I still felt disappointed to know that all these time when we were spending time together, he felt like he was being taken advantage of. It seems that he too, understands why we have not verbally expressed our gratitude, yet he still feels disappointed. Hmm..it's really quite interesting, how we cannot help how we feel despite our understanding. But I was too upset to be amused by this incident. It's all over now, only remaining thing to do is to send the money over to him. But apparently, there's more to come. On Saturday, my relatives came to visit from Malaysia. Originally, I only expected about 4 to come over to my house, but apparently, it was such a great opportunity to gather all available relatives around, at one point of time, there were more than 10 people roaming around in my house, 4 of whom were playing noisy mahjong. I wonder if I was being too antisocial, but I was having a severe cold and feeling very fatigued and stressed up. So I put on my sunglasses and went to sleep in one of the rooms, where my cousins were. Now that I think of it, I feel so guilty for not talking to my grandma while she was here, knowing so well that I would be leaving Singapore in about a week or so. The most fustration probably comes from my university arrangements. It is now confirmed that I would be enrolled in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, to study engineering. I was so thrilled to receive the freshman package yesterday, then I found out some complications regarding my accommodation there and got just so irriated. Usually, I probably wouldn't be so bothered by things like that, being the very mild-tempered [hehe] person I am, but somehow, I just lost it yesterday and spent the rest of the day feeling depressed and antisocial. I almost wish I am studying in a local university instead. So much less fuss. And I would be in school by now. I just received a call from my scholarship board, telling me that they have not received my obs [Outward Bound School] forms, which they need for my pre-departure course starting this Thursday. Omigod, I don't even feel like going for those stupid camps and programmes anymore. Argh. |
| Something I realised from my experiences these few days is that I still appear generally calm, civil and even pleasant regardless of how I may actually be cursing in my heart. But I know I'm going to blow soon. Very soon. |
