Sat outing with JC frens + grumbling about one online fren
ok ok yk is grumbling about us (or rather, me) not updating (my) blog abt the sat outing. Well, if mich and Yock already mentioned it, what more can i add on? Repetition not sian meh? So ok, I shall try to squeeze my brain cells and post stuff that are not mentioned by the other gals.
Sat outing was a total of 5 ppl: me, yock, mich, wm and sel. Actually we promised to keep whatever we said to ourselves within the table. so those who missed it, too bad. Well the only amusing thing is.... Yock shall have a new title. Miss Jealousy aka everything-oso-jealous Queen. Becos I came late, I dunno what wm had described but the first thing i know is.... Yock is jealous i called sel to ask about the location of sizzler instead of her..... Den she is jealous that Wm and Mich have braces as they can play with the colours...... err and many many more..... Miss jealous is oh-so-jealous!! haha.... Though small grp, everyone gets to play a part in the conversation, which is good. Den we get to know how cheeky wm and sel is...... c'mon, wm u dun have to be so secretive k..... and my dear bro, i think that gal *erhem* is so cute and suits u, think abt it hor...... i hope she's still available. I wan a sis in law. Gor gor, u muz get attach first, den i can get attach mah, rite? Thanks wm for the direct ride home.... ^^ even sel being influenced by the jealousy worm and felt jealous when he cant have a direct lift home. hiak hiak!
Ok, now lets change topic.... haiz i have been patient for a few years le... I really dun like it when one person keep wanting to tok to u every every night via msn , every every minute and seconds wanting ur attention and ask u abt every slightest thing that happen on that day.... I juz feel so tired to describe my daily life. And i cant have peace to do my own work. But sometimes when it need be, I have to block him for a while. I seldom block ppl k. Last time i keep hearing his grumbles about his problems and his attitude frens which i have listened and comforted him. not once but every every night over a few weeks until his sem is over. Now, he wants to know what i did, what happen etc etc and I really cant keep tokking to him every every minute..... I know he juz wanna have ppl to tok to him as I think he dun really have much frens and he's bored at home. He doesnt work, u see..... so his world is rather different from mine. Imagine, the slackest person meets the busiest person (ok i am juz one of the busy ppl ard, maybe not the busiest). But we belong to 2 different ends of the world where i have my own schedule or errands to run. And the topic of our conversation is always rather duh..... or is so.... mundane (issit the right word to say?), so.....it is very sian. But of cos, i will continue my patience... I juz need to vent out here otherwise I will die from bottling it. He's not even my bf! Even a bf wont be that BO LIAO. Where is my privacy, where is a period of time that i can juz sit in front of the comp and stone..... spare me!!!!!!!! I love to chat but not this way!! >.<
Eh... me? Me cheeky?
Anyway she IS attached la. So please don't link me and her can? And, I don't mind you getting attached first so don't worry about that. =)
hmm too bad i was in malaysia? haha..ok next time u organise something i go malaysia..
hey got wat news muz share leh!!! =P
