im screwed already because it's 3 days into the new phone bill period and i've reached my cap of $49 already. it's not that i can't pay or anything, im just wow-i-fied. im such a loyal 3G customer!
im kinda surprised how one thing comes up after another in my life all the time? i thought im at a stage in life when everything's just going cruise-ie. more like, im basically indifferent about stuff these days but one thing finishes as another comes up. is everyone else like this out there?
i really dislike the feeling of how there are people in your life who you have unintentionally replaced by newer friends. it's just like what yewon was talking about in one of her blogs: falling-outs. at first, i thought yeh that happens but i do try to keep in touch with others but now, i've realised how many people i've *sort of* left behind in life? it's awkward to just call them up, is it? bryant was saying how i either make things too complicated when they're not or i think of everything as too simple when it's not. i guess i do sometimes, but i really dont want to think this falling-out issue as something that im complicating when it's just something that happens to everyone. i really dont want to leave anyone behind in life when i am capable of preventing it. who would want to leave someone who have shared a chunk of their lives with? if not for the friendship's sake, then why not for sentimental reasons?
primary school friends, high school friends. maybe it is true when they say people randomly come and go in your life and it's the footprints that they leave behind in your heart that matters because one day we'll all be together again, somehow. but it's really weird how different stages in life brings out different sides of people and you can get to know someone at totally different environments to where you met them. take uni, like i was talking to afrooz on msn the other night and we realised how we got to know each other better because of uni, we got to know such a different person as to what we expected from the other. all this, we met in high school. or how i met joe in year 11 because we caught the same bus from epping station. and after 2 years, we got to know each other because of contract law at uni. or take kirupa. met in primary school, same friendship group and all, but literally didnt see each other throughout high school. then one day, kaboom! we see each other at uni and it's like we dont need to go through the whole *get to know each other* process and we just talk. we laugh. we basically crack up and i feel pretty comfortable with it all.
uni is such a big place it's not funny. there are so many people and stuff. right now, it's like, there are people in my life right now who i dont know if i'll one day become their falling-out. even if i do become a fall-out of your life, please dont feel sorry. i totally understand how you feel when you one day think about this. i love all my friends and just like how joe used to say *im over protective of my friends*. well, who isnt?
i was watching the opening of big brother on channel 10 this evening (not for entertainment purposes but to wait for the comedy festival thing to come on at 930) and i realised how asian i am inside. it's really interesting because it was all point and laugh at the so called *house mates* until an asian chic turned up. i dont mean to be offensive but there's no other way to describe how i felt: appalled. i dont like it how there is an asian in that house playing big brother. it's bad enough to see a group of people locking themselves in a house and doing stupid things for the sake of $1 million. for goodness' sakes, $1 million dollars is not a lot of money and personally i dont have a million bucks (YET!) because honestly, if a group of people are to gather to embarrass themselves in reality tv gone bad, then obviously $1 million will not be enough.
$1 million was a lot when the news papers were10 cents. when 50 cents got you lollies and a bus trip home. when friggin icy poles were only 20 cents at the school canteen: NOT $1.20. at this rate, taking inflation and the compensation for such despicable activities as to what people on big brother do, $1 billion would do better.
that's all for tonight.

I guess it all has to do with fate and affinity? I mean.. you never know, sometimes your time might just be up with certain people. But then again, I guess you can make yourself find them again, but there seriously are people that just totally disapear.. I've known a lot of people as well, you try to do something about it, but sometimes it's just not in reach of your control.. if you know what I mean?
Even my mum realises this all the time.. especially when she wants to email really really old friends.. and then one day.. she finds out they've passed away :( that's like fully sad.. but oh well..
Big brother is gay.. I never liked it. . I reckon people also do it for fame and not just money I guess.. coz yeh, $1M is nothing considering what you're doing..
Hey Babe,
Interesting post, cuz today I met up with an old friend whom I haven't talked to or seen in a bit over a year now. And yeah, people change, and we've changed, and we haven't seen each other enough to be aware of those changes.
But it's the good times that I'll remember and I always feel really happy seeing a friendly face.
Haha... my friend went to high school with that Asian girl. Nuts eh.
Much love,
Yewon.
