Thoughts from The Garden: August 2007

You know, it's funny how some people conveniently forget about you, especially when you do not call them at all. Talk about friends. Some will just forget you when they feel you have no use to them. Not living in the same precinct or working in the same area is a poor excuse for not meeting up. How big can Singapore be? And with technology so advanced, everything's just a call away. Is a call or a message to say how much they miss me so difficult? Maybe... I am not that important. People seem to look for me only when they can't find other people to go out with. And some meet up without me. But well, I guess that is life. They forget about you when they find newer, more exciting friends. Some friends are meant to be treasured, while some... well, I shall not say more. I will just cry...
I am one who treasures the people around me, and that includes friends. While I do make new ones, I never forget the old. I am that loyal. But seems like loyalty is not that important anymore. Whether you have any use for that person seems more important. That seems to be the modus operandi of people today. Guess this is where I don't quite fit in...
I just need someone to care about me... Is it that difficult to find that someone?

It's been a long time since I last updated my blog... Sorry guys, was caught up with school stuff and work and had no time to update! Well, here's a gist of what happened so far...

July
Joined in the NMC competition with LN in July. We didn't get far though, maybe cause the power of the two is not enough to beat the competition down. Shall make sure to get at least 2 comrades the next time round... Hahaha
Went for GY's convocation at NTU on 25 July. Saw CS and YT there as well, and that was when I realised that they have graduated too! Was surprised to see the two of them, as I have not seen them for a long time. Didn't really talk much though. Guess everyone's tired after a long day. Went for supper with GY, QJ, and CT at AMK Mos Burger and chit-chatted till 11 odd, and headed back home after that.

Accompanied my dear cuzzie ZH to get her 2nd tattoo at Johnny Two Thumbs on 31 July. She decided to get a wing done above her current tribal sun tattoo. Photographed the whole process and boy! Did it get me tempted to get one myself! But I have not thought of what to get yet... Sighs... I want one that is perfect, one that I will not regret. But I have no idea what to get. Should I get tulips (my fave flower)? Or should I get a rendition of Rei (a character from Evangelion)? Or maybe my own Chinese name? Any suggestions anyone?

August
Been rushing my Employment Relations essay for the past month. Did quite a lot of research for the essay, so much so that I did not have much time to type my essay out. Was rushing the last week before the deadline on 24 August to finish it. As for the result? Thought it was good, but not as perfect as I hoped it to be. Well, I guess this teaches me a lesson on time management.
Found time to go and watch the fireworks on 18 August. Boy! Were the fireworks beautiful. But according to my friends, the one on the 17th was much nicer. Well, for me, it doesn't matter, as all fireworks are beautiful!Photo whored while waiting for the fireworks to start, and my battery ran out just a few minutes into the fireworks display. Too much photo whoring I guess. Haha. Nevertheless, caught a few pics before my battery died off. Am waiting for SJ to send me the video of the fireworks. Shall try and upload it (if possible) when I get hold of the video. Shall upload the photos the next time round. Stay tuned!
