1. Still working like a dog but looking forward to end of current engagement this week.

2. Watched this movie called Quinceanera with Tby and Day. It’s a spanish/english (spanglish?) movie about this pregnant virgin (yup it’s scientifically possible) who gets dumped by a guy who claimed to love her and by her parents as her dad is a pastor. Her brother’s gay so he got thrown out of his house too. They stay with their granduncle who’s a real sweetie. So the story deals with issues around homosexuality, parents, love, pre-martial sex and justified superficiality. Does that sound ironic? Justified superficiality? Or is that an oxymoron?

Personally I think superficiality is a misused word. I don’t think it is as negative as people make it out to be. I think it’s perfectly all right to be obsessed with designer clothing/shoes/bags, make-up, shopping or designer homes/luxury cars. I don’t think that’s being superficial. Maybe that’s being materialistic but there isn’t anything wrong with being materialistic. Yes, once upon a time I used to call materialistic people shallow and superficial. But that was when I was a young, dumb, angstly teen. So for those who misuse the word superficiality, you ought to grow up! It’s high time you did that.

3. I dumped Al. I know it’s mean but he’s such a boy. He had the cheek to complain about me not spending enough time blah blah blah. Seriously, there are more important things in life to deal with than relationships with boys. It’s quite strange that it was the very reason I had broken up with T for. I do regret it now. Because now I understand. I thought it was all about me me me. It took me this long to realise it isn’t. It’s sad that it takes another person’s actions to teach me this and not my own.

4. I’m still sick. I don’t know why. It’s been so long and I’ve avoided all my sin foods for the longest time possible. I’ve practically given up coke, except for the one craving I gave into at the shity Manhattan Fish restuarant - which is really a bad version of Fish & Co - even the menu/serving arrangements/sauces bear an uncanny resemblance to Fish & Co - and it all sucked. I honestly would have complained hadn’t it been for the nice service staff. Cos the food really sucked.

Check out the amount of leftover food. This was after we had footed the bill.

Anyway, yeah, i’m still sick. I’m planning to wait till day after tomorrow at least to go back to the doctor cos I think the firm will think I’m crazy for racking up medical bills in a month. But still that makes it consecutive 3 months of doctor visits. Bleargh…

5. Upcoming plans
- lessons on fri night and sat. (I can’t believe they sent the assignments to be done by tom like er, yesterday. luckily I came back early today from work so I can work on it tonight)
- spa session on sun at fullerton
- german movie on sun also (forgot the title)
- shopping on sun also (marathon sunday in mind)
- next week moving to new office at One Raffles Quay. Building looks really swanky but no use - I hardly spend any time in office anyway.
- next next week going to Shanghai! - it’s my second time to Shanghai and it’s the second time I’m having an ultra rushed/packed time in Shanghai. Don’t even know if I’ll have time to visit my friends there!
