Hehe some random funny sites to share. Must open and see!

Anyway the usual ramblings about being busy etc, so might as well save it. Maybe just share some pictures of what has been going on in my school life (which has almost taken over every other part of my life too).

Start with some of the ads we had created for the 3M project. Kinda feel pretty proud of the. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but we did not feel that we had lost to a better team though. But well, you be the judge, take a look at my latest blog photo album! Just a preview:

Some people have privately commented to me that my blog has been seeing quite abit of negative stuff recently. So in order to assure everyone that I have not turned into a malcontent I shall change tact for this post and say something mroe postive. This is also to assure The Wife and a very special friend of mine, both of whom had recently commented that I seem to have a shorter fuse recently and seem to be less patient with people. So here it is:

I think I have mentioned this before, but suddenly I was reminded of a quote I had seen sometime before. Although I can’t recall the exact words it went something like "Marriage is like having your other half over on an indefinite sleepover". If that is the case I think I’m getting more open to the idea of getting married…

Well it’s really almost all perfect when The Wife comes over for a sleepover. I get hugs and kisses before getting tucked in bed. Occasionally there’s a massage too to help me sleep better. (No, it just stops there. We haven’t gone much further than that in case your filthy minds are speculating!)

Same with waking up in the morning. Waking up with her sitting on top of me & whispering into my ear (even though usually they are threats that my breakfast will be gone if I don’t wake up) and being greeted with a wake-up kiss beats the ear-piercing alarm clock anytime!

However not to say that everything is so perfect of course. There are other hazards during her sleepovers. One is that my blanket and bolster etc will get stolen from me in the middle of the night. Occasionally I get shoved off and end up sleeping on the floor too. But other than that it’s almost always pleasant when The Wife comes over.

There’s the late night strolls to enjoy too; the supper pigging sessions; the occasional drinking sessions when we mix random stuff into whisky, wine, beer etc; the night runs; soccer matches and even those times late in the night when we just lay there in each others’ arms and do nothing but enjoy each other’s company.

Well enough of that in case hearts get broken Hehe. Really thankful that her ex boyfriend gave her up to present me with the opportunity to have such a wonderful girl in my life- and probably for the rest of my life for that matter.

Ok enough of my ramblings. Just thought that I would post something here to assure those very good friends of mine who have been worrying about me. Don’t worry, I am still getting some positives out of my life and at least one aspect of my life is wonderful enough to make me unable to give it up to jump in front of an MRT train or something… For those of you who don’t understand what I’m doing here, probably you do not come under that category of people I’m writing this to reassure…

Oh well have a great week ahead people. I promise to pick myself up quickly enough and make myself more tolerable…

WTF!

It seems that showing respect for others’ time by being punctual is a thing of the past. Punctuality is no longer a virtue but a premium. Why do I have so many people around me who like to be late?

My estimate is that by projection, by the end of this sem I would have spent a total of about 3 days just waiting for project team mates to turn up for work. No shit! About 70 hours! And out of which at least half can be attributed to one single person. Tell me what I should do about such people, especially that particular character? Maybe they all just think I am too fucking free, no work to do. Sparing 3 days of my life doing nothing but fuming is nothing to me because I’ve got too much time on my hands. My life is too long that I need them to decide on my behalf to waste my time away!

This is the last straw: being 1.5 hours late and not even bothering to call; till we decided to call her after she was 1.5 hours late. Then she had the cheek to say she’s just stepping out of her home, and has to go somewhere else first before meeting us. And best part, her part of the work is not completed. After she arrives about 2 hours later, we have to wait for her to finish her part in front of our face. Couldn’t she have just had the decency to call earlier and tell us all that instead of wait for us to get frustrated of waiting & calling her? What do I do in such a situation? Better keep quiet of course instead of shooting my mouth off & making her cry & be accused of doing shit to her!

Sorry for that, people… Just extremely frustrated by some irresponsible people. Just for the record, the meeting time was 2pm today. She has just completed her part of the work about half hour ago, at 10.45pm… Talk about respect… She has absolutely none for us!

To add on, our mutual friend(s) is/are putting the blame on me for getting pissed with her and getting them stuck in the middle. My fault! The perpetrator gets sympathies while the victim gets hell for showing displeasure… Please continue to blast me here, won’t you?
