sloughing off the old and bringing on the new
Friday, March 30th, 2007man,the weather here has been pretty crazy!one minute it’s glorious sunshine,the next minute it’s raining cats,dogs,small furry animals AND frogs.wouldn’t be surprised if it starts hailing one of these days.
i’ve never really been affected by the weather back home,but my mood here is realy kinda whacked out with all this change going on so fast.dunno if it’s my temperament our (whatever sigmund freud calls it),but i find myself in a very different state of mind each day.
for example,two days ago(wednesday),i was still bumming out coz of the fact that james revealed that he had a "missus".i was like really sedih tau.like really,REALLY sedih.it wasn’t depression,but i just had all these bridget jones-esque thoughts of growing old and grey only being surrounded by cats and dying a virgin and shit(hey,i found out both of the guys i had crushes on were "taken"
,and it happened within like 3 days,so i was pretty bummed out!).on top of that,the weather was like really glum and gloomy and shit,and i just felt really crappy.
but today,the weather started out pretty fine,it was sunny in the morning when i headed out to selwyn for my tutoring work.but by afternoon the weather was a bit cloudy and it looked like it was gonna rain.which didn’t make me feel any better coz i had just had a really tough tutorial time(the kid was being so uncooperative!) so i was kinda cuakteds la(with the bad mood,accompanied by the bad weather).then i get an email from abg neil saying that if i wanted to,we could have our appointment to discuss an assignment at an earlier time(originally supposed to be at 2,but he said 1230 later). thought i was pretty convinient coz i had an appoinment with james at 130,so i cud burn time with neil then straight away pop oer to james.
so i went to see abg neil(the weather by the way,was kinda pleasant but still chiily/cold).jut as i was exiting the lift to go to his office,he was leaving the office to take the lift to go downstair,he needed to pick up something.plus he looked like he was in a rush.so,ok,waited for neil.when he came back,he had a small white paper bag with him.rupanye,his wife came to send him lunch(awwwwwh…).now if i had been in my crazy i-think-i’m-in-love-with-my-bald-lecturer mood,i’d probably wud have startd crying/throwing a jealous fit/leave the room and pretend like ive got something better to do.but i didn’t.in fact,nothing about neil seemed to make me go weak in the knees today.he kept laughing at everything i said,which was kinda annoying,coz i wasn’t actually being funny(i.e i said "ahh…no big deal,i’ll probably just flunk this assignment anyways" and he LAUGHED!benggong -_-")
and even though he’s worn that same tiger t-shirt+short pants combo so many times,this time,he just looked really blah.go figure.
so anyways,after my so-so session with neil,i headed of to grab some lunch,then of to james(weather now was slightly more chilly and cold,like just before rain).now this guy,he’s still hot.he still makes me get the butterflies in my stomach feeling.but today,he was kinda borderlining on the mengadeness,i was kinda like "whatever".what did he do?u tell me la if this is mengade or not.
i said the weather is pretty chilly today
he said no lah,not cold at all.
then i said ye la,u new zealand ppl say not cold,yeesh.
then HE said you know,there’s a survey that says New Zealand ppl are the most attractive ppl in the world.
why the heck would someone say that?u trying to be funny?are u trying to imply that ur attarctive?(not that he isnt but it’s kinda like wtf?)i was kinda turned off by what he said,maybe coz it was kinda sounded egoistic.it’s like he knows he’s hot and shit but he knows i cant go further than that coz he has a missus.he’s kinda being like scandalous la.not that i mind.but its like tease and no play.where’s the fun in that?and on top of that,when i asked him if he’s stretch my foot,which is really,REALLY MOTHERFUCKING PAINFUL(blinding hot,searing pain okay),he said,it’s okay,he won’t do it coz he knows i’ll be in pain and he doesn’t want to "jeopardise" our "relationship" by doing it.i was like whatever la dude.so yeah,james,didn’t really hit the spot this time,mate.
now,keep in mind,both of these guys had me gushing and speaking gibberish before.but now,they have almost no effect on me(note the almost,i think my feelings might change,and i’m aware of it!)does that mean i’m over them?is autumn my month to get rid of the old to anticipate the new?is winter my depression period?what will happen in spring?will i become BEAUTIFUL?
oh well,just have to stick around and find out ;)
p/s:harold,if you’re reading this,i realy liked to see u jogetting to nite!!!!hehehehe :D
