Feet stuck to the pavement
Where has the time gone? In a few blinks and snaps, we’ll be sailing through the second half of 2008. Gahd. That made me sound like I’m talking about football. But I guess it’s easier to see it that way.
How has my first half gone so far? Meh. Could be better, but way better than how 2007 was. I never really talked about why it was the worst year of my life, did I? Well, minus the obvious death of a loved one, d’oh. Then again, I guess that particular event influenced the rest of my year. Troubles, problems, pain, and sadness all try to squish into my life at once. What could be handled by my usual self was tearing me down.
People tried to bring me down for the sake of career. People tried to understand where I’m coming from, which annoyed me. Especially when they think they’ve got you all figured out. And it’s funny how people just can’t stop talking about my dad when all I wish for was for them to stop talking about him.
Life tip: When someone’s loved one passes away, try not to talk about them. Instead, divert their attention to something else. It will work wonders.
Why am I talking about the past?? Urgh. 2007 was so last year. Pun intended.
Anyway. The boyfriend’s off to overseas training for 3 whole weeks and I don’t know what to do. I’m very used to his company hours at a time every day, and with him gone.. I really am at a loss. I’ve been mentally planning on what I want to do while he’s away, and I think my only plan that will work is: stock up on the endorphins. I’m thinking two hours daily, five days a week. OK, maybe just an hour. (Hourly step aerobics can kill! Hahaha.)
I just remembered an incident a bit earlier on, right after my morning routine, I bumped into someone I knew. I smiled at her and wanted to say hi, but didn’t because she didn’t smile back. She pretended she didn’t see me! I was right in front of her. You know, I can’t believe people can still be the way we were when we were kids. Utterly unbelievable! The only thing I could do was roll my eyes and went into disbelief mode because she is so friendly. Was, I guess.
I’ll be off for now, I need to take my second shower, because I’m catching Wanted in a few hours.

sadly, some people never grow out of it…

Lizzie: That is really, really sad. I hope I won’t waste my time with these people.
Shim: Hi! I haven’t heard from you in a while. I miss those student days with you guys too. I had a bowling session with Sel, Eff, Mul, and Izni, and I have forgotten how much fun we have in each others’ company, you know?
Hopefully, life will be not so bad on you, especially with your sentiments on getting married and fading memories. I will be here when you need me. Don’t forget to invite me! (And don’t you dare not come to my wedding, if I do decide to get married, OK?
)
Take great care of yourself, Shim.
