New Year Day has passed and we are upon Chinese New Year... The last time i wrote anything was last year and i guess it's about time i update my life before i forget about thenm and they are forever lost in the wind...
Things has been pretty decent these pass few months... No big drama (in my life, that is) and i'm actually enjoying this rather peaceful moment in my life... I remember thinking a few weeks back that i really want my life to be quieter... Like it was, maybe 3 years back... Enjoying the company of friends and just getting on with my life... I dun know when all this 'I gotta get attached' notion came to my head and began 'looking'... It's not that i'm no longer interested in finding someone special in my life... But i guess, like i've always said, when it comes, it comes...
One of my so-called resolutions is to really pay attention to myself... To treat myself better... Not to be shrouded by all the self doubts... Not to belittle my esteem and to think that i'm actually quite ok as a person... I really want to be a better version of myself only becos i really want to be... Gone are the 'i need to be this' for someone else becos i am what i am and i can only aim for being a better person and lead a better and fulfilling life... Be it if i can share it with someone or just relishing my life with me...
This year would mark my 35th year of existence... And i think there are certain priorities i need to put in focus... Like saving money for a place o my own... I've been saving money since i reached 30... But i guess there's still a long way to go and with me moving back home, i hope to be able to put all the savings into the 'Thomas' Sanctuary Fund'...
I've also gone back to the gym... For the past 6 months i have been neglecting this portion of my life becos... well... becos... (we'll just leave it as that)... So right now, i'm a the biggest (read: heaviest) i have been EVER!!!!! So i guess it's time to reduce that number, which means i have to dedicate myself more to spending time and working out in the gym...
Of cos ideally (and i do mean IDEALLY), this year would be the year i seriously start thinking of getting my driving licence...
This few weeks has been interesting... Have been chatting online with D & S... It's nice to talk to people who are willing to tell you about yourself... I dun think i have much friends who do that to me... It helped me put things in context and i think at the end of that day, despite my idiosyncrasies, i've turned out pretty ok...
D was kinda funny... He described me as 'spicy'... I've been called many things but never' spicy'!!!! Hahahahahah!!!!!
The reason i love chatting with D&S is becos they possess this certain level of wit... When we chat, there's this fun repartee we engage in and it really makes chatting enjoyable... They are quick enuff to retort whatever i have to say and smart enuff to catch me if i purposely set a conversational trap for them... And all in all, they phrase things in a way that makes it really funny...
Moving back home hasn't been all fun and games... Yes, your laundry is done and you dun have to do the housework... But the lack of personal space and constant nagging does get on my nerve... My mum has been going on about my smoking (不要抽那么多烟!!!), me sleeping late (不要那么晚睡!!!), my body weight(不要吃那么多肉!!!)... But there's this time where she said something that really got me 傻眼... I was working late at night and she came out of the bedroom and when i work, i normally have a HUGE cup of water by my side cos i really dun wanna get up for a drink, and she saw the huge cup by my side and she said: 不要喝那么多水!!!
I was so shocked i didn't know hat to say!!!! Normally mum would tell their kids to drink more water... I have yet seen a mother who told her son not to drink so much water!!!! I think she was being naggy for the sake of being naggy!!!!
And when i moved back, my bro hasn't move out of the house yet... So i had to sleep on the sofa... My brother moved out of the house 2 weeks ago... Which gave me a great opportunity to finally unpack my stuff and clean up the room for CNY... Only to have him come back for CNY and he'll be staying in Sg for 2 weeks... Which means i'll be relegated to the sofa yet again... (Ok... now i officially hate the term '2 weeks'!!!)
And the worse thing is that by the time he leave... I would be on my way to Paris!!!! So there goes any personal space for me!!!! Now i remember why i moved out in the first place!!!!!
I guess it gives me more motivation to wanna get my own place!!!!!!!!!
Gosh... I think i wrote too much!!!! There's still so much more to blog!!!! But i guess it's late and this entry is becoming too long...
I'll save it for tomorrow then... :)
