striking the balance

Reading people’s blogs and stalking them on facebook, it made me wonder.

How do they balance having a boyfriend and meeting their friends up? (Haha, randommmm)

Thinking back, I think I’ve always failed at that. I either strike my friends out because of weekly plans with the boyfriend or like my last summer vacation, I spend heaps of time away from the boyfriend. Neither options are good ones.

Option one comes because somehow when you’re a couple, you like to make weekly plans. Like when you’ve accomplished one, what should you do next week? And then it becomes routine and it’s weird if you don’t meet weekly. Hmm, okay maybe this only applies for boyfriends in the army. THen when you have parties, gigs, whatever, your first thought is to add a plus one. I’m gonna go with the boyfriend. Or you’ll agree to meet your friends at someone’s performance, yeah sure, but the boyfriend will be coming too.

Then the other, you become pro-friends and if your friends have something going on, you’re gonna be there. Sorry, boyfriend. You automatically drop to second priority. Huh, this weekend? Errr. I can fit you in on Sunday afternoon?

The million dollar question is…

How on earth do people do it?

suddenly…

Earlier today, a senior was asking me about guys at my school and whether I feel lonely being single.

Strangely, I realised, I’m not lonely anymore.

I mean well yeah it still stinks to be in the country where PDA is the norm and everywhere I travel to is so crazily romantic.

But wow. I’m proud of myself!

just another manic monday

A pretty apt meme.

Manic Monday #187

• Is it easy or difficult for you to switch your body clock? Do you suffer from jet lag when traveling?

Coming to Europe was my first time being in a place that’s got a time zone more than 2 hours different than home. It felt like the longest day possible, travelling back in time, leaving at 1.30am, taking two 7hour flights with 3hours transit and reaching at 2 in the afternoon. I was just struggling to keep myself awake till nightfall. Jetlagged but struggled! And when I woke up the next morning, it felt alright. So I reckon it’s quite easy to switch my body clock!

• If you had to pick one place in your town to bring a tourist, where would you go?

Tampines. Because it’s got malls, it’s in the heartlands, it’s near great food places and relatively near the beach and is so close to airport. And it’s my kampong. Love it, miss it.

• When you travel away from home, do you miss it?

Normally I don’t miss it that much because I’m away for a week max. Now I do!

sans dire un mot

Without knowing what the lyrics is, this song fits what I’m feeling lately. All I know is that the title means ‘without saying a word’.

By far my favourite French song.

Hate times like these. I want to curl up in bed and have this song play in loop and whine all day.

Maybe I need someone to serenade me like Emmanuel Moire…

movies and company

Caught Up in 3D today and it was hilarious. We were late and so we rushed into the theatre finding ourselves in a sea of kids and parents. We had to tekan some kids sitting at our seat. But it was fun albeit the fact that I had higher expectations of it.

Kinda sad for our movies nowadays.

Even for half-blood prince, I didn’t think it was fab. I judge movies by how much impression it has made on me as I walk out of the theatre. Am I dying to discuss it and let it relive in my mind over and over for the rest of the day?

So far the above two movies were no. But company was fab. (:

I’m glad through some unexpected events I got closer to people that turn out to be such fantastic friends. I’ve learnt a lot about people and myself lately. I’ve noticed specifically what I want and do not want, what I like and do not like. Times like these make you realise you don’t know yourself entirely well. It’s hard to know a friend but it’s harder to know yourself. Hrm, food for thought.

Alright, some things to buy tomorrow, flu jab, gaga tickets to collect, money to change, more lovelies to meet. Packing’s a bitch.

Thanks to everyone who took time off to spend time with me before I leave. (: Greatly appreciated!

foodies

today (technically yesterday) i was out with someone who is a bigger foodie than i am. i think i levelled up as a foodie. to ask for prime cut meat and ignoring the price for once, that was fun. to be brought around to try stuff that i’ve never seen/heard of/tried and reviewing it later on. fun. i like. i especially like that i didn’t know the way but didn’t have to worry. tampopo was awesome. me likes trying and reviewing food.

true when he says, food never breaks your heart. (:

(but from a girl’s point of view, neither do bags and shoes and clothes. they don’t break your heart. HAHA.)

was also at ion. officially my favourite mall for now. love the design and the crazy amount of levels. big big props to the interior designers. the interior was very futuristic, very classy, very symmetrical yet sophisticated. i like the kind of shops that are in there. glad to be there finally after everyone’s talking about it. YAY. (bimbo.) i thought i liked orchard central but heading there after ion, realised it was real boring. tried dunkin’ donuts for the first time too. HELLO BOTTOMLESS PIT aka stomach.

a tad broke now though…but too little time to worry about that. since it’s past midnight, officially 9 days left of being in singapore. scares me but i know i’ll have fun eventually. hope it all works out! time to hit the sack, it’s near 3.

more/better pics another day!

ps: soooooo many people to send off. erp.

because it’s friday

Another quirky conversation at work with the telemarketer next to me. Seriously, without him, my work will be filled with mon-fri blues. LOL.

He: Stomach cramps… *pats stomach*
I: Time of the month?
He: Ya *frowns*

HAHAHA.
