Incoherent thoughts. Blame it on the medication.
I was grumbling to my dad earlier that some of my friends only remembered me when they got into trouble or when they need my help.
My dad's golden words of advice: "She calls you because she considers you as a friend.".
Well said. Irritation vanished in an instance.
*******
Been soccer crazy since the commencement of World Cup. Haven't missed a single 9pm match. Betted a little, won a little. Hmmm.... is that very un-feminine of me?
During a train journey to work one day, I was a little embarrassed when my dad called to ask about my bets on that night's matches. Is betting on matches acceptable female behaviour?
I think I'm just not cut out to be a really "xiao-jie" girl.

Recently interviewed and hired a fresh poly grad as my advertising & promotions officer. It was a weird experience; I could so identify with being a nervous interviewee, fumbling lines and making honest but politically-incorrect remarks. Those were the days when my words were raw and not laced with PR affectation.
Its odd being old.
*******
on the other hand, a random thought entered my fluffy head recently: I'm not ready to be a parent yet. A close friend just had a baby and invited us to the baby girl's 1st month celebration this Sunday. Its scary. Here I am, all ditzy and insecure, planning to resign one day yet going nowhere with my job search, making travel plans on a whim and spending like no tomorrow. How am I supposed to drills the insensibilities out of me and be a responsible mum? Heck, even the word "Mum" makes my blood run cold. How do these people do it?
