Back To The Start

I never knew Cheryl was Ashley Cole's ex-wife. I thought it was just a coincidence that they had the same surname.

Don't Stop, Make It Pop

Have you ever thought that when you take a bus to go somewhere, somehow that journey always seems longer than the journey to go home?

I've always experienced that and today I've found the reason why. Feels like a new revelation man. Simple - when you are going home, the traffic is usually so much smoother! Tada.

Ok, now it's time for random quotes that I've heard all week from my customers.
1) "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, YET."

2) "I'm very busy today. Today is my Bird Day."

3) "No, no, I'm not interesting."
(I think he meant "interested".)

4) "What is payment teriyaki?"
(He meant "payment hierachy".)

5) Customer: My IC number is Sxxxxxxx-"ack-sh"
Julie: You mean, X for Xtra?
Customer: No, "ack-sh" for Holland.

Oh customers, what would I do without you guys?

Take a Chance, Make a Change, and Breakaway

Meeting up with Midah and Farhan makes me realise that we are all getting older. Nowadays, when we meet up, we have all these intense conversations going out. Sometimes it becomes a really heated debate, mostly because Farhan never seems to see the world as how Midah and I see it.

But my point is, we never used to talk about those kind of topics. Frankly speaking, I can't remember what we used to talk about, but our topics were never as "adult" as how they are now.

Part of me freaks out abit cause we are adults now. Yeah man, adults! "Adults" probably means responsibility, work and eventually marriage and probably kids. But the scariest bit is the uncertainty of how things are going to turn out in the future.

Atleast when we were in school, there was nothing much to fear. You go to school, try to get good grades, you go home at the end of the day and have your parents to depend on. We can't stay the same now. There will come a time when my parents may need to depend on me. And I surely hope that I will independent enough to take care of them then.

Our intense debate involves shooting random questions at one another as well, asking how would you react in a certain situation. All of us, being strong-headed in our own rights, usually have our own opinions.

But when I think about it, there is never a yes or a no answer to a question, when that situation has never happened to you. Like, would you leave your spouse if he/she cheated on you? I would say, theoretically, definite yes. But see, you can never be certain until you are really experiencing it.

So that brought me to think. I probably have disagreed with alot of decisions that people around me have made. And when you disagree, you have this tendency to judge as well. But I guess, it's not fair. You don't know what that person is going through, so you probably have no right to say much anyways.

I don't think adulthood is going to be easy, but I just want to take one day at a time. Sometimes I wish, when things get hard, I can break out into a song or something (ok, I'm extremely addicted to Glee now, so that explains).

But if my life was a musical, it will be so much fun. We'll get to sing and dance and change into pretty costumes. Sounds like fun to me.

Waiting For The World To Change

Once upon a (really long) time ago, I used to come online every night - chatting with friends, cracking ourselves till we see the morning light (ok, not really) and watching Youtube videos till late night.

Now, not so. I used to think I was addicted to MSN. It's like I need to chat with someone every other night, or I'll feel incomplete. Now, I feel extremely grateful if I can watch atleast one favourite tv show before I go to bed every night.

It's like I don't want to know what is going on around me. I don't read up on Justin/Vivek/Imran anymore. I don't talk to my friends as often anymore, but that's also because everybody's busy.

It's like as if I'm happy stuck in my own bubble, doing my own little thing.

Recently, I bumped into a friend in the MRT. Usually, I might have asked her how she's doing, bla bla bla...but I didn't. When I thought about it, I realised, I don't care what's going on in her life. Whether she is sick or whether she's having exams soon, whatever.
I don't care.

I guess it gets to a point where I'm just too tired (or lazy) to reach out anymore. Because sometimes it's not reciprocated, you know? So after awhile, you just stopped.

Or sometimes, you are just waiting for someone else to reach out to you instead, who knows?
