The Strange Girl

Woke up on Friday morning feeling extremely exhausted and drained. While smoking at the lobby, I bumped into Daren who said that they're having drinks tonight and asked me along. So I agreed, which I ended up regretting after awhile. But I ended up going still.

So after work, the few of us headed down to Indochine along Club St. for a beer. After which, my colleague suggested I join them for Jereme's (one of the founders of Hardware Zone) wedding dinner at Meritus Mandarin as the table for my company had been paid for, plus there were free food and drinks anyway. So I followed them down to Orchard. I hate attending weddings. Especially when watching the video clips and photo montages. I always feel happy for the newly wedded couples, but personally I'd rather not be at a wedding. Weddings are boring unless it's someone close to me who's getting married.

I met up with R. last night as well. She talked about her Bangkok trip and we discussed about work. After that, we talked about us, or if there is any us worth speaking about. Nevertheless, the conversation was a good one. Within that short span of 30-45min, I've at least managed to somehow know how she's feeling and the turmoil she puts herself through. She's a strange girl, that one. Such perfectionists we are. Because of that, I've come to acknowledge that we both have nothing to offer each other and that both of us are only half of our own ideal someone. Which of course, that person does not exist.

And within that moment, I felt a broad spectrum of emotions: love, anger, sadness, acceptance, happiness, relief, hatred, patience, acknowledgement, felt more rational, lighter and slightly stronger. I now know what will be good for me what will not.

*Yawn*. I just woke up an hour ago and I feel like taking a nap again. Think I'll do that. Hehe.
