Went for Jemalelinh's TS grad play last night at Black Box. "Twilight of the Golds". It was pretty good. The script was a great choice although a difficult one to do. But they managed to pull it off. Was most impressed by the guy who played the gay son (turns out he's really gay. hmm...) and Yin Mei who played the overreacting mother. The only thing I couldn't stand (besides not being able to hear one of the actors due his mumbling) was the sounds that carried over from the Fort Canning Green, where the annual ScreamFest was screening "The Eye2" and "Ginger Snaps". It was just irritating. At the most pregnant pauses in the play... "EEEEEEEEKKKK" Suddenly this scream will come out of nowhere... Spoilt the whole atmosphere...
But speaking of overreacting females... I'm wondering whether or not I'm one of them. I think - I'm still trying to decide - that I may have overreacted tonight. While I don't think I said anything cruel, I may have said some... Unnecessary things... But at the same time, isn't it customary and plain polite to first ask "Are you free on watever-day" before you ask someone to go out with you? Instead of just saying something like "I'll see you on watever-day"? Or maybe this person just... thinks differently; Or just has a different (strange) way of doing things. It wouldn't be surprising if it were so, considering... I dunno. Sigh. It just sounds so... assuming. Presumptuous even. Or maybe I really am overreacting. Sucks.
Why am I always doing this? Falling out with people at strange timings. I did it to Jemalelinh once (Remember?) and that turned out to be one of the times I most needed my friends around me. Now's not really one of those times but once again my sense of timing is just screwed. So now that "thing" is just going to sit in my cupboard and rot. I can already Jemalelinh rolling her eyes at me and semi-scolding "So you bought it for NOTHING?". Huh... Maybe I did. Maybe I'll just sell it off the next time MGS has a bazaar or if KR ever comes along doing garangguni. Nuts. I'm mad. I'm absolutely raving.
Jemalelinh, why don't I just give it to you? I'm sure D needs it more. *slouches off to a corner*
