Sub-contracted By Monkey
Say hello to Research Assistant Siew Mai.
As the tree-top swinger has been contracted to write an article on the four major festivals of the four major ethnic groups in Singapore, she has sub-contracted the quickly becoming over-steamed dimsum to do some pushing of paper for her. This should be interesting. I forsee the Monkey as a tough boss. Well, I'll be getting paid and the topic is quite, quite interesting so ONWARDMARCH... er... PUSH PAPER!!
It isn't much but it's something and really, anything that goes "kaching!!" shouldn't be sniffed at. And it will help out with the household expenses for at least the next month or so.
Hmm.
Did I ever mention the overwhelming guilt I feel whenever I think about the $10,000 CPF debt I owe my dad from my NUS days and the fact that we're... I'M now eating into the money my mum put away in hopes of early retirement? GOD it's depressing. Try not to think too much about it. Without forgetting it totally of course. Keep thinking, "Do it right this time! Get a good degree, good job and pay it all back in the end". But still... ARGH. I hate myself sometimes. Stupid mistakes made for stupid ideas.

Connectivity: Low
I don't exactly know when this started. Might have been yesterday, or it may even have started at the beginning of the week, or possibly earlier. Today, it just became very clear and very obvious to me.
I'm feeling somewhat disconnected. With things and even people that were close to my heart. There just seems to be something in the way, even when I'm right next to it/him/her/them.
I went back for Rag, just for the heck of it, and also because I promised Yow that I would. I'm glad I did, since I managed to see people that I probably would not have seen otherwise. Plus, KR won the Vice-Chancellor's Shield for the first time in 5 years and that's worth going down for. But in the process of catching up, reminiscing and having lunch, it became clear that somewhere along the line, the connection had failed. Of course, with people that I never had much to say to in the very beginning, it now became nothing to say at all (which I'm not very sorry about, in this particular case...). But with those that should've mattered, something was lost. I'm sad to say I felt a tinge of something similar during the latest MMM. Oh it was fun, don't get me wrong. Just that now... It was more like being an observer rather than an actual participant. I don't know.
I was asked a couple of times - by a couple of people - if I even managed to make any friends in my first year there. The truth is, I don't know. Classmates... Yeah, some I get along with better than others. My study group - we work well together during the term, but during hols... My flatmates? Sure, we were close (I think) but in a sense, we HAD to get along. Other Singaporeans or Malaysians? I had meals with them a grand total of 3 times in that 1 year.
Friends? The girls from Flat 3E aside... Not really, no. You could reprimand me and say that I've been somewhat anti-social. That I should try to go out more, participate more in their social events and take in more of their social culture. But I'm sorry. I just don't see the point in going out every single night just to get pissed.
EVERY.
SINGLE.
NIGHT.
I went there to get a freaking degree, not to achieve the world's largest beer belly, nor to compete in "How Many Spiked Drinks Have You Been Offered" or "How Many Marijuana Joints" competitions. And if I sacrifice a social standing by refusing to conform to certain "hip & happening" ideals, well so be it. I'm a low to moderate-level nerd and possibly a rather boring person. SO WHAT. Last time I tried being someone everybody wanted or expected me to be it didn't turn that well.
And if I lose certain levels of connection with people for being me... Well... We'll see how such things play out.

Siew Mai Blur Liao
I see Monkey & Wai explaining the rules of mahjong and I blur already. Despite many people telling me how easy it is, I really blur diao le... (O_o)?
My first MMM in about a year!! It's quite good to see the TLG again, since we've sort of lost contact. Mostly my fault I would say, since I hardly update my blog anymore and if I do, I rarely write anything worthwhile. Plus I tend not to say anything to anyone even if I'm logged on to MSN. Yes, so my apologies, TLG people... I shall strive not to be so anti-social anymore.
National Day MMM with a boardgames theme this time!! Been playing Cluedo and some violent french version of UNOcumSnap courtesy of L'Ham. Now there is very intense game of monopoly going on and a beginner's round of mahjong. Of which I've even given up being an observer. Can you imagine if I were actually trying to learn. HAH!!! It will never happen.
MENU!!!
National Day Monkey Madness Meeting
1) Indian & Chinese Rojak -L'HamLHam (:p) & Tore
2) Baked Pasta - Siew Mai
3) Fried Stuff & He Ye Fan (Lotus wrapped rice) - Joelle
4) Localised Columbian Prawns - Monkey
5) Chicken Wings - FatCat
6) Rice (porridge-turned-)Pudding - Tore
7) Tiramisu - Wai
8) Peanut Butter & Chocolate Tart - Mrs Budak
Actually I think that today's menu is slightly below the average TLG's standard. We usually eat more. Muahahahaha.....
Ok. Back to observing the mahjong kia....
[Update 12.06am: Many apologies for getting LHam's spelling wrong. *bows deeply* I could offer to sacrifice a mutant Aberdonian seagull to attone for my sin... Although ah, Ham... If you wanna be SPB, wouldn't a pseudo-french-sounding moniker be in your advantage??? Hee hee!! (^_^)v]
