Thursday, February 10, 2005 I've been on a really short fuse as of late, basically any small matters that irritate me slightly will get me to blow my top off. Have no idea why I'm like this, since most matters in my life are going reasonably well, except perhaps.. some stuff... So I extend my apologies to anyone I may have offended or upset with my irrational and uncalled for behaviour. On to 'happier' stuff, Chinese New Year Day 1 was really really hectic as usual, and that it was a hot and humid day didn't make things any better. CNY visiting stretched from 10 am right till about after midnight! Well not that i'm really surprised since i do this every time CNY comes about. Many of you may envy me for all the red packets i get throughout the day, but trust me on this, all the stairclimbing, getting force fed CNY goodies and making up lame conversational topics and listening to the same "Wow you're so grown up" crap all day at every single location isn't worth the $2 red packets. Well the 2-hour special season finale of Amazing Race 6 was shown on Channel 5 today, so here's a peek at my own Amazing Race itinerary today: 1. Set off from home about 10+ to an uncle's place at Shunfu Road 2. Back home at Upper Paya Lebar. 3. GrandAunt's place at Bishan 4. GrandUncle's place at Telok Blangah 5. GrandUncle's place at Redhill 6. Uncle's place at Bukit Purmei 7. Grandma's placeTiong Bahru 8. Back home 9. GrandAunt's place at Bukit Batok 10. Cousin's place at Bukit Panjang 11. Aunt's place at Clementi 12. Aunt's place at Clementi 13. Reach Home half-dead at 1 am. Wait.. there's still 'good' news.. there are MORE places to cover tomorrow.. Anyway.. while i was at my cousin's place at Bukit Panjang, received my a call from my friend telling me about that the father of a friend i was pretty close to in the army has passed away. Can imagine his pain and sorrow.. and that it happens so close to CNY definitely makes things worse for him. Haven't talked to him yet, but hope he'll pull through this. Time for us to reflect and use this occasion to cherish the people around us much much more. skarekrow24 posted at 1:58:00 AM |
