Winter break in hot and humid singapore
Saturday, July 03, 2010
as i type this almost 2 weeks of the break would have gone by
that leaves just 3 more weeks plus before school starts
3 precious weeks of brain lazing and slack free days before its back to hitting the books
it was just 2 and half weeks ago that i finished my last paper
finished my last paper on the 18th of june
came back to sg on the 21st of june
in between had a blast of the weekend
celebrating friends birthday, first time going to a karaoke place ( my teenage years were deprived) , eating out at different food places
playing part time taxi driver and just soaking in whatever time i have left in laid back Perth
the rental vehicle had dents and scratches on them so i had to be careful not to add anymore to them if not its extra charges waiting for me when i get back
its larger than the toyota corolla but has stiffer suspension and heavier steering, not to mention the steering wheel partially obstructs the view of the dashboard display, but engine seems to have more power than the corolla
been trying to meet up with friends since getting back
managed to meet up with some of them
for some not yet
as you know the older you get the harder its gets to stay in touch with people
and for me there is this nagging empty feeling just doesn't go away no matter what i do
i think i have to admit it that for the past 2 years or maybe even longer
been feeling jealous that i cant find a gf
but then im also thinking would my life be better if i had one?
can i force myself to be more quick witted, to be able to sweet talk and outwit people
right now i just feel that it doesn't pay to be nice to people anymore
especially if they take it for granted or take advantage
whats the point then
nice guys finish last?
been reading this book i bought dairies of a Singapore taxi driver
the author used to be professor doing research at reputable institutions but got retrenched
and is now driving cabs to make a living
gives you an insight into the life of not just the author but the lives of people from all strata of society bar the elites aka untouchables
deep down all the glitz and glamor of Singapore
there is a storm brewing
and its been building up through the years
especially since y2k
whats going to happen in the future?
i have to think about my own future too
i cant keep putting it off
