What i did on my weekend...

Hello there...yes i'm about to chronicle my exploits or rather the boring things i did during my weekend in order to while my time away here in Mt Barebones...

On Fri itself i went into MSN and as usual, Rye packed us off meaning jasper, yoz, himself and i into a chatroom where we began talking all sorts of nonsense. It was a good thing though as it eventually culminated in the removal of a supposedly racist remark from Jasper's own blog... Tsk tsk, i don't know what in the world was Jasper thinking though... Could be due to an excessive intake of grass in brunei. After all, cows are meant to be know for their 4 stomachs not their brain right? Or oh no! Is it possible that Mooie Toh acquired the Mad Cow's disease? Not that i can tell anyway, the supposed sypmtoms already
manifested on him for God knows how long... Ha!

Well, in the end as usual, Rye was asking us about activities to do on the following day which is Sat but i really had no stinking idea what to do, play with dung bombs? HAHA! Maybe it is because i am getting a bit withdrawn. It is however not their fault that i don't feel like going out at all with them.... Is just that i'm giving myself a pseudonym, Hermit Tan. Haha! Can anyone ask Doraemon to pass me the Snail House so that i can really look like my cousin, the hermit crab??

Fast forward to Sat itself... I found myself rotting at home for the whole day. It was bored but i felt happy rotting at home... Feels great with Jovas to play around with. Then, we went off to the Airport to fetch my sis back who just completed a 12 day student exchange programme in Beijing... It's been a long time since i went to the airport. It is really very hard not to feel envious when you see travellers trotting back one by one in the arrival hall looking vibrant and absolutely rejuvenated. No doubt they have enjoyed their tours tremendously. Thinking about this reminds me suddenly of my NS liability which conveniently clamps my freedom to go for tours, no thanks to the administrative hassle of having to apply leave... When can i finally shed my shackles of burden?? Sianz...

Alright, i saw my sis after a mindnumbing hour wait and Jovas was ecstatic. We went straight home and everyone hit the sheets after bathing due to the fact that we had to wake up very early on Sunfor my Grandma's birthday party... ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZzz...

The event was held at Sembawang Park, a leafy coastal park lined with once pristine beaches that were ruined 3 years ago by a horrendous oil slick. The air was unusually still and i would have melted if my name was Ritter Sport. Nevertheless, the was the usual assortment of dishes available as my relatives called up a caterer to set up a buffet in a shelter...

There was tremendous pressure on me as all my cousins brought their girlfriends to the event and i was looking conspicuously aloof. I keep getting asked, eh you got gf right? why never bring her along heh heh!! In their mind, i think they were picturing an outline of a girl next to me, blinking in a glaring manner...

In order to escape from that insane environment, I became a temporary instructor as i conducted a orientation training for my sis to refresh her in cycling... Great sense of satisfaction achieved!!

Something sad is that i realised that i don't talk as much as i used to do in the past with my cousins anymore. Have i become more aloof and distant? Or have our mutual frequencies gone haywire such that we are no longer in sync? Indeed i have got little to talk to them. Maybe this is inevitable as we grow up, each searching and pursuing different goals in life. Which brings me to the point of the society. Long considered network centric, i believe now that it is evolving to be individual-centric...
