Episode 71: Say What?

When a Chinese guy comes up to you and starts mumbling to you in Mandarin, what do you usually do?
After encountering this situations so many times before, I'm still hopeless when dealing with them. I mean, do I look Chinese to them?
I try to make out what they're trying to say but most of the time I get it wrong.
What is a brother supposed to do?
Looks like I have to brush up on my Mandarin...

Random Thoughts

If you would only see yourself the way I do,

You would wish that you were as beautiful as you ....

Random Thoughts

The worst feeling I have right now is not about being lonely.
Its being forgotten by someone I could never ever forget.

Episode 70: What happened to me?

I was cleaning my room yesterday when I stumbled upon some old photo albums of mine. I flipped through them and it made me remember of the times when I was happy.

Really happy.

I was smiling in all my old photos... It made me think of what has happened to me now. Nowadays, I find myself smiling less and less. Why is that? I think I've lost my smile.

I think i need to do a bit of soul searching...

Episode 69: The Shopping Trip.

I'm not a big fan of shopping trips.

Period.

If you read my old posts, you would understand.
But when a friend asks me to accompany her, I just smile and try to make the best of it.

Try to enjoy myself or something like that...

So I did just that when Diana asked me to accompany her a few week ago.
Luckily for me, this time around wasn't so hectic as last time.
Not such a big crowd so it was easier to move around.
So while she was busy browsing around for her stuff, I stood back and just observed around. What is it with shopping?
I don't understand..

Maybe its a girl thing..

Episode 68: The New Guy.

The new guy has been in charge for a while now and so far I find it to be okay.

I'm not gonna praise him or anything like that because its still too early.

Some of the guys like him while some don't.

Well that's normal right?

Me? I don't care really personally saying.

If I can work together with him, that's great... If not, then I think we're gonna have a problem right?

He has big plans in mind but I'm not getting carried away.

I'll just wait and see how things turn out.

5 different managers in 3 years... I have every reason to be pessimistic.

Episode 67: The Fair-Weather Friend.

"As long as I'm nice, kind Juraimi you are here for me, but as soon as I'm not, you walk away completely ignoring me."

As long as I was happy and nice, my friend would be around by my side. But if I was unhappy or upset, she would feel blamed and then argue or distance herself. This made me feel indifferent because I didn't know what to do or say in this situations. Personally, I believe that I can get along with anyone. But when I'm with her, its like shes giving me reasons not to like her. Its difficult because I don't really hate her at all..

I'm angry that she gets so emotional and keeps misunderstanding me. Its sad that we disagree on things. When shes upset, I just don't know what to say. She doesn't deserve to be treated that way. I'm very sorry that I judged her. I understand that I've hurt her feelings and I want to work this problem out. She deserves that.

Episode 66: Happy Birthday!

After a long wait, someone actually treated me! So now, just as I promised, I'm updating this thing. Heehee..

Today was my sister's birthday! I think she turns 31 today. Wow! Despite our differences, she is still my sister and I love her to bits. All week long leading up to this day I was wondering what I was going to get her. I didn't get her anything last year so I was feeling a bit guilty you know.. I asked for help from a friend but ended up with nothing I guessed I was on my own. Bummer..

But first, I had to drop by the shop to return the store room keys. Yes, I brought it back home again! Whats wrong with me? So forgetful.. On my way back, Diana shouted out my name out loud for everyone to hear. She always does that, I don't why.. This is then followed with a "Hi". Okay... I really don't understand her..

Back to my sister's birthday, I was planning to get her an Ipod but I'm I didn't. Her husband had already bought her a Sony MP4 player earlier as a birthday gift earlier! Phew... That was close! In the end, I just bought her a box of Munchy Donuts. I'm not kidding!

2 boxes of Munchy Donuts; $15.30, Smile on my sister's face; PRICELESS.

Later, my father took everyone out to Simpang Bedok for dinner. After all this, I kind of feel a bit of jealous of my sister. But its okay, it is her birthday anyway. I'm just happy to have her around! Pictures from today below..
