Showing Interest in Others

Hello ya'll, maybe this is the time where my postings start to slow, cuz i realise that finding things to post about EVERYDAY is kinda tough, and i want my posts to have a point, not just random ramblings.

but first! if you know us and what to get a good laugh at what our TA1 was like, i suggest you check out "Which TA oneeey'ohfive boy are you?" its freaking funny, but only if you know who we are!

anyway, had a good day today. Morning was at Temple, was grandparents anniversary (death or wedding, i'm not sure...) but in any case, its good to pay respects to the elders, reminds me that family is very important. Its also an opportunity for Dad's side of the family to meet up. We always see Mom's side, being under one roof and all, but for Dad, i'm glad there's this constant effort to stay close, even though we stay all over the place :)

Then headed down to school, where i got to see what the TA open house is like, from the perspective of a graduate! (But mainly i was there to play MagicTG with Mr Hsi and Mr Low) Maybe its the good performance of my cohort of TA (my COHORT, not necessarily me >.<) but it seemed like there were a lot more people here for open house compared to the last few years. the hype of novelty kinda faded, now there's finally some stats to back up the effectiveness of TA.

more importantly, Mr Hsi and Mr Low are FREAKING AWESOME players! haha, or i'm noob. but in anycase, they do have more income to invest in the game, which sad to say i can't, POOR little army boy :'( but still, can pick up quite a few pointers from them, and find ways to fine tune my deck to match up to them! haha, maybe this challenge will reignite my interest in deckbuilding! Johnny i am, rearing its head at the thought of a challenge! haha

met wendy and kenny for a while but not very long, would be seeing them for dinner.

Met up with Prerna, who just came back from India for NUS medicine interview, Varun, Kenneth and Wendy for dinner at Fish and Co. @ Parkway. Dinner was good, company fine, and it was nice to see and catch up with Prerna again! nice simple dinner to talk about randomities.

to be honest, i've felt lately that my spending time with people has kinda changed. it isn't what it used to be. hmmm there's like something lacking, like a certain expectation that is not met, but i can't quite put my finger on it. it just feels like there isn't that openness that there once were. i think its just me, there's a need to shift my mindset.

i think i may know what it is. it feels a little like no one is interested in what i have to say. haha, a little like low self-esteem, which doesn't usually come out of me (i hide it well XP) but recently, theres been this sentiment that no one is really interested in me (that sounds like such a selfish statement >.<) Maybe also because now that i've facebooked so much, i've asked so many people "hey! how are you? what's been going on in your life?" its just my way of nudging them to ask, "you've been different lately, anything you wanna share?"

ah well, i've got to entertain myself for a little while, used to have someone to give these little quirks to and work it out, but i guess i'm not so lucky anymore, haha.

Anyway, i'm really excited about planning the Ubin trip! really looking forward to getting it done! me and varun were going on and on about it just now before we split, and there sounds like so much potential for it to be damn fun! but the obstacles are starting to surface already, hope can iron the kinks out and make the trip go without a hitch :D

will keep you updated on my life now and then! i told ya'll! tell me what to post about and i will! i need topics, people!
