The Shrine Of The Heart

Wednesday, May 10, 2006

A really busy day today.

Had six hours of solid lessons...back-to-back...facing a menagerie of belligerent little faces..A raucous cacophony of screaming and shouting...chairs being painfully dragged against the floor...the air thick with flying accusations...flailing arms everywhere...this seems to be some kind of perverse, insane Madhatter's tea party...

I scream...As usual, nobody gives a damn.

Met my sis and her bf for late lunch at PS...To my utter horror, I found them mugging together on a date...This goes against all principles of nature...but then, love is impervious to principles of nature in the first place...maybe certain people like to spend time with their significant others scrutinising the Binomial theorem or some other obscure mathematical law...perhaps debating linear inequalities is their idea of a raunchy rendezvous? Who am I to disagree...

Spent the rest of the afternoon shopping with them....went to buy a Mother's Day gift...It's so hard to shop for my mum...she does not like anything in particular and dislikes most things in general....except stuff with garish, Obiang Cheena-pok motifs and designs...but she's my mum. And if she likes that, then that's the kind of stuff we will get. Mental images of hot pink lotus buds keep on popping up in my head.

Met Stefan in the evening. We went to meet the Zerolimits team...words flew back and forth in fast and furious volleys...I could not grasp the implications of our negotiations...so I just sat back and pretended to pay attention...occasionally doodling some crap on my note pad. Their programming knowledge is phenomenal whilst mine is close to zero...I struggle to pretend I understand, but sadly I can't. I try to chip in my two cents worth with the vague proclaimation that the "problem now lies in the layout"...I was swiftly corrected when some guy pointed out that it was "not the layout but the graphic interface." Argh...jargon and goobledygook...

How in the world did I get chosen to be in charge of this account when I know nuts about SQL, PHP, Webhosting, integrating blog engines and graphic design? At least I could understand them when they were discussing the sponsorship issues. That's something closer to my heart!

On my way to Jitterbugs, bumped into Sen...minutes later I bumped into Darrelle...and then Candy...So weird and coincidental! All three were very close to me in the past...but we drifted apart as time went by...hope to catch up for a cuppa soon.

Went clubbing with Desche and Valerie...lost myself in the surreal realm of incandescent lighting and pulsating music...Just love hanging out with the two of them...FJ did not come today...wonder why...perhaps Frankie was still feeling blue..haha. Oh, and Valerie should cover up because all the wolves around our table were staring at her and licking their chops...I was so disgusted. Not by her, of course.

I am convinced with each passing day that I was never meant to settle down in love. I was born to suffer uncertainty and insecurity. I was destined to endure entanglements and complications...but somewhere deep within, I hope that I can someday find a girl who will want me to love her simply and whole-heartedly...sans the painful mind games.

Actually, I've found such a person...but I really don't think I deserve her at all. Guess what? She isn't who all of you think she is...
