Growing Up
I remember when I was young, I always wished I could quickly grow up, so that I do not have to study, or get scoldings and beaten by my parents, or do my homework and go to tuitions.
Now I wonder why do I have to grow up. There are responsibilities to bear when you grow up, there are seemingly so many complicated situations you have to face, and so many emotions I have to go through.
But these are the things that make one stronger, more mature and well, more grown up. I have learnt many things from these complicated situations, of how to handle your relationships with your family, and with your friends. I have also realised that being an only child, I can't possibly rely a lot on other people, or deposit my emotions on others, like how I used to when I am young. I have to be really strong on my own and be independent.
I know I have mentioned somewhere, sometime before. I just have to constantly remind myself.
Work's been more or less ok. A couple of site visits to a FPSO and another site to see how pipelines are being laid makes my desk-bound work slightly more interesting.
Madagascar 2 is entertaining and funny.
Some has said I look less chirpy as before. I don't know. Maybe I just need some boost of energy.

Updates
Just a real quick updates for the past 2 weeks or so for what I have done.
Last Monday: Deepavali. Gym session at Mervyn's Condo in the morning. Lunch at Cheryl's place where we made pasta with a lot of meat, including bacon, ham, sausages, capsicum, and tomato based sauce. Cheryl made some homemade ice-cream. Evening was movie with primary school gang. We watched High School Musical. Just another feel good movie, with chirpy songs, but really cool and suave dance moves.
Last Tues
Last Friday: Halloween. After work, met up with some CN4A people for dinner, where we bumped into Sitong and Henry. Dinner was followed by chilling at Lunar (yet, again) but left early because I was super tired.
Saturday: Evening was with primary school gang again. Made a trip to downtown east to catch some halloween fever, but rather disappointing. Thus we went to this boardgame cafe and spent 2 hours playing Bang! and Saboteur.
Sunday: Gym in the morning, lunch then caught Avenue Q, a musical about puppets addressing political incorrect issues, such as homosexuality, racism and prostitution, which ended political correctly with issues of love, relationships and purpose in life all went well. Nice singing and dance moves. There was an attempt to mimic Sesame Street with familiar scenes of the children's show in the puppet musical. Obviously, it's aim wasn't to imitate Sesame Street, but just wanna use this path to scorn at everyday issues.
Life has it's ups and downs and so is mine. But I am learning to cope. It can be very tiring and many times, I just want to shut down and ignore whatever that comes. I will try to strive for what I want and be as happy as I can.
I am rather tired today, thus the sloppy expressions and down mood.
