This is bad. I've a nagging feeling I forgot to do something but I cant put my finger on it. It's damn unsettling. I remember telling myself I've to do something once i sit down in front of the computer but now i've no idea what it was. Shit. I'm getting senile. Maybe I need to play more mahjong. Hur.

I just came back from an event at J8. My head was spinning after it ended and for once i decided to put my kiasu-ness into good use when I fought for a seat on the train. I saw 2 people getting up and I made my way there the moment their butt left their seats and i slept like a baby throughout the journey. I've no idea why i was so tired. Again, my only conclusion is that i'm getting old. OLD. *sniff*

Met xiaomeng for huangcheng yesterday and as promised, she made me a mask!HAHAHA I gotta say i'm pleasantly surprised cos it's the best artpiece i've ever gotten from her. She named it the CY mask and it's quite a masterpiece. Well even her bio lab drawings were the subject of ridicule back in sec sch so it's definitely an indication of her art standard. And our struggling artist (struggling in the trying-to-make-a-frog-look-less-like-a-rag sense) is gonna fly to korea for her grad trip later at night. How nice. She's not even gone and i'm already looking forward to the souvenirs. Snigger. And since you wanna hear it so much, XIAOMENG, I'LL MISS YOU. Do I sound convincing enough? :D

Sorry i havent been updating much cos I've been lazy. There's nothing really interesting in my life in the past 2 weeks. I fell sick, got better, had korean food, felt heaty, recovered, fell down, got bruised knees, nearly got heatstroke while doing outdoor event just now, and recovering again. See? Nothing interesting. But please dont call me weak and boring. I'm still in a state of denial. Always have been. You can try delicate and stable though. HAHAHA

I went to the museum today for the kangxi exhibition. Want to guess who I went with? My colleagues! Lol and it's not for work. My station had extra tickets and there was a guided tour organised just for us so when my PE asked if i was interested in joining them, I agreed. In that few seconds before i answered her, a couple of things were running through my mind. Am I really interested in kangxi? Would it be boring? Would I wanna risk yawning in front of my cultured colleagues? But the biggest question was DO I WANNA SPEND MY PRECIOUS SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH PEOPLE I SEE ALMOST EVERYDAY? Lol yea like since i already see them so often, it wouldnt hurt to spend one more afternoon with them right? Smirks. But I think the single motivating factor was that it was free. HAHA. I still have 2 more tickets if anyone's interested. It's valid till june.

Hur we weren't allowed to take pictures (yes, museums and their rules :/) so I can only spare this photo of the admission sticker we were given. I stuck it on my water bottle after I left the museum, then thought it looked ridiculous with this solemn picture of kangxi so i removed it.


Anyway I cannot understand ancient people and their fascination with dragons. Everything that belonged to the emperor had at least one freaking dragon on it. If I were him, I would have made frogs my official mascot. So instead of seeing two entwining dragons on the back of my seat, there would be frogs, frogs and frogs. And no more stone lions outside the palace! Stone frogs are the in thing! I just dont understand why they had to worship some mythical creature when there were lovely frogs everywhere.

Frogs aside, I was impressed with kangxi's impeccable handwriting. If I didn't know better, I would have thought those scrolls were printed. I guess it helps that they didnt have internet or video games then. Not even handphones. So they could spend every single minute practising calligraphy. Smirks. Can you imagine if technology didnt advance, we might still be playing with crickets, getting excited over cockfights, hurting our butts by galloping around on horses, practising calligraphy like that's the most interesting hobby in the whole world, waking up at 5 in the morning and sleeping at 8. Don't ask me what's with the routine. Since they didn't really have a lot of distractions, why couldnt they wake up at 9 and sleep at 12 instead right? Ancient people are weird.

Speaking of weird, I went out for lunch with my colleagues after that. Lol it's a big deal for me cos i rarely eat with them. I have kr as a permanent lunch date at work. Plus it can be intimidating eating with a bunch of people who are eloquent and speak perfect mandarin, not to mention I've to be careful with my manners cos a lot of them are very senior and you know how much they value respect and experience in the media industry :/ So I was glad that I had lunch with the considerably younger colleagues (please bear in mind my comment about the youngest employee in the station being 30yrs old. snigger). They were telling me stories and it was entertaining, not in the juicy way. If you want juicy, I recommend you XM who's interning at the TV side. She has lotsa insiders' info about mcorp's artistes. Lol I doubt many people would be interested even. Maybe shiya would wanna hear about a certain mr. tay ping h--. Or xiaomeng about a certain mr. dai yang t---. HAHAHAHA

I'm so looking forward to next week! I only need to go work for 3 days cos thurs is our common leave at the shitty mcorp, and fri yes, public holiday. I cant wait! I cant waittttttttt ^^

I was hoping no one would realise that i havent been blogging much but my cousin apparently did and she asked me about it. Hur i guess i just am not in the mood to write. I barely even have enough time to sit back and relax after a day's work and within that 3hours, i still need to squeeze in the blogging part? Maybe cos i'm starting to view blogging as a chore, since i either write something when i'm bitter, or when i'm happy. Lately i havent been feeling either way. Well i'm just being me. I usually dont feel anything. Lol. I should probably give myself a middle name. Chewy Cold Chung. Or Chewy Emotionless Chung. Cool nya.

What do people usually blog about? Something they see and which register enough for them to spend time describing? How about i launch into a story about how i saw this dead squirrel on the road the day before? I was walking on the pavement when something caught my eye and it was a horrible sight. The poor little thing was lying on its side, slightly curled up with traces of blood next to it on the surface of the road. And i was ashamed that this idea of taking a picture even crossed my mind at that moment when i should be consumed with disgust or compassion or whatever it was appropriate to feel. So here I am paying tribute to the poor squirrel which sacrificed unnecessarily due to jaywalking. I mean it's impossible for the driver to notice it right? So we probably cannot prosecute the human. Hmm.

Anyway I was having this conversation with my colleague this evening and she was telling me that she used to teach in this particular primary school whose name i recognised, so i nodded. She asked me how i knew the school and i told her i had a friend who transferred there for its gifted program. Then i started thinking about this friend. We were classmates in primary 2, and we became the best of friends, attending each other's birthday parties and all. Then we went to different classes in primary 3 and she finally transferred in primary 4, but we kept in touch through letters all the way till secondary 2? I was kinda amazed at myself, and at our friendship. Well we're no longer talking to each other, but it is still a wonderful memory, i guess. I dont even remember who stopped writing first. Was it me? Maybe it was me. Yea probably. That's definitely the result of my procrastination. Missing the best timing and stuff, and then forgetting about it altogether just cos it felt weird to start now. Smirks. Perhaps I should start writing again ne? What should i start with? "Hi XXX, i suddenly thought of you when my colleague mentioned your primary school and i thought i should apologise for sending this letter eight years late. Forgive me?" Rights.

Life is so boring now i've nothing interesting to say. I dont have any excuse not to blog cos i'm not busy with exams like everyone is, but the thing about me is that blogging is a distraction. When i want to avoid reality, i blog. When i'm dealing with reality, i blog less often. But now, i'm simply not thinking, not feeling. There's nothing to look forward to. I dont even have an eyecandy at the office. Cue *roll eyes*. How did i even get into a station whose youngest employee is 30 years old? Lol but that's actually quite funny, especially since it came out from my boss's mouth. Sighs. Where's the 桃花运 rabbits r supposed to be having? I see everyone struck by it (whether they want it or not), just not me. Geh. Maybe my mom remembered my birth year wrongly huh. HAHAHAHA. Maaaybe. I told you i'm optimistic in my own warped way. Why doesnt anyone ever believe me? Tsk
