is it a big deal? I dun think so...

Gary called last night.. basically called to check if I was ok... * i would say he's bored over there * told him about the things that happened to me the last few days... after saying soooo much stuff the only one that he picked up was " i bumped into that's jerk's dad this evening" kept asking me if i was ok.... pretty puzzled at his question... why would i not be ok? It has been so long ago since we broke up and it's only his dad... not him.. even if it was him, maybe i would be reminded of the hurt he gave me but after a while, i would be fine... nothing great though... he was asking me if i was feeling better now.. i said definitely... maybe it's the way i talk to him last night... i think he got pretty pissed at me.. i know he's showing concern but then again... i'm really ok and trust me....

we did talk about lots more stuff... told him about joyce's departure and how qingfeng finally confessed to her that he liked her... at least now things are cleared out and she and him have the half a yr to decide if they wanna be together... wish them good luck man...especially with the distance... actually i was kinda sad about joyce's departure.. she left so much in a rush.. hardly have the time to chat with her and she's gone... gary asked if i still blamed her for the things that she did to our previous group... well, what can i say? it took me a long while to get over things and be able to accept her as a friend again.. let's not dig it up again... though i still have some reservations... but then let's just keep it to myself...

told him about the fireworks that the gang and I saw on sun night.. singapore's first fireworks festival... beautiful fireworks to share with good buddies... with yuanbin, andy and wenjie... felt so high during the fireworks... everyone else that was there was cheering and excited about the fireworks display... too bad gary was not around to watch it with mabel.. i'm sure mabel would love it...

what else did we talk about? oh, i told him about a friend who backed out of the kickboxing class when the money has been paid and all.. sure i was angry.. cos she showed so much of enthusiasm and even refused to go for the trial session but wanted to go straight for it... after one session, she decided to call it quits.. who am i to complain? I know she has this problem but everybody around her accepts her that way.. who am i to complain? just accept lor.. after all, some of us are like that... from this incident, gary said i've changed... have i? he said i've gradually toned down my bad temper and accepted the fact that ppl will not be the way i want them to be... i agree my temper has changed for the better towards some ppl.. well, not for all...:o)

jarrod is resigning... FINALLY!! he has been swaying left and right about resigning and he got me sooo worried about him... finally he has made up his mind about it... he intends to take a break and do some stuff he likes.. good for him... then again.. do all men at his age wanna just quit and go get a break? sounds like it though.. richard said that too... not sure if he's gonna do it too... but it seems too coincidental... oh well, just glad that he's made up his mind and the most important thing is that he sounds much more happier now that he's made up his mind...

told gary that I saw some adverts for jobs that was sent to me... wanted very much to apply for it... but the CV is not done up yet... maybe I should... internally, i'm struggling... i like my current job but yet I dun wish to remain a contractor all my life... it's time to embark on greater things... well, gary couldn't say much cos he knows very well that anything coming from him about my career wouldn't go into my system.. cos i know what i want best in my career... so as a good friend, he shut up.. hehehe.. :o)

oh, did i mention about the moving of the shed? well, in the end, we did get movers and things were not as smooth as i thought it would be.. first thing in the morning when the movers were supposed to move th stuff from seletar.. i got a call from chris.. screaming in my ears saying that why did i not inform her about the move blah blah blah... oops... i thought jo did it... i'm sorry... kept apologising... jo was late and so everything was out of control... took them a really long while to move the stuff... drive over to the warehouse and then start moving again... boxes were really heavy and when you see them move, it's really heartwrenching cos you know for a fact that for that little bit of money, they have to work really hard for it... gave them a bit of money for lunch and some of the promotional shirts that we have... after that, me and joslin had to go back to jurong point to buy a fan to be placed in the store.. some bulletin boards and all.. after much sticking of mahjong paper and all, we were finally able to move the boxes and rearrange... got cloth to clean up the place and the pee on the boxes... boy, thank god for joslin.. never knew how could i handle it alone... took stock and packed for the coming events... sheer hard work.. but it was happy.. happy that we were working to make things better for whoever was coming into the room to pack stuff, to get stuff... making things better for whoever would be taking over my work should i leave... just plain happy to see an empty room to be filled up with everything which we started from scratch... just happy... :o)

*oops, i think the entry is too long... gonna keep it short.. otherwise, i'll bore you guys... :o) *

i admit i did show alot of enthusiasm .. cos what u described after ur trial was not what we eventually experienced .. i believe this is nobody's fault .. u did not expect it to become contact-sparring either ..

mind sharing with me the problem i have? perhaps then i can try to reflect on myself .. i dunno how this and my previous comment might sound to u .. but i sincerely hope we can bury the hatchet ..

seems like it's been a terribly hectic period for u .. sorry that my quitting kickboxing added to ur frustrations .. i dunno what else to say here .. u take good care and u noe .. u'll always have a listening ear with me
