Being stupid
You do not remember any sayings or facts of life until 你碰了一鼻子灰.
Only then that you'll wake up with a jolt and tell yourself there's no point.
Now I realised something - It really does take 2 hands to clap. If I've tried so very hard to want to connect with you and to understand you yet you just kept shutting me out. I should really just get the signal and get out of your life. Now I really feel silly. Why should I make myself seem so desperate and try to win back your friendship when you are not even trying, or in the very least interested.
Oh well, I only can tell myself I've really tried. And I give up. Or I've already given up couple of months ago. I'm still very much happy in my life, with really true friends. =)

Life's a bed of roses?
今天心情烂透了。
First it was sparked off in the aftenoon when Dan told me a piece of bad news. That the siren red solid surface cabinet top for our kitchen cannot be used at all cuz it's very patchy this ended up 2 tone therefore we have to pick white color. Sad.... Cuz I really did wanted it so so bad...
Couple of hours later Chris called me for a chat. Lately my family's just kept having hurdles one after another.. Mainly due to money.
Huixuan just came into this world couple of weeks ago. Chris had a major setback cuz he ran into really tight financial status. Since he's the breadwinner of the family, obviously the family will just have to tide things through.
We rented a decent place in AMK for almost a year now based on a monthly rental fee of $2100. It got more and more strenuous when Chris didn't have an income and lost quite of money investing in gold. After some time the family's expenses wiped out his savings. And it didn't help that my sister in-law wasn't that keen on helping when it comes to money.
He started to run dry and turned to me for help, which of course I'll be glad to.
But these couple of month, especially this month, Dan and I are running dry of cash. We've paid a total of about $50 k in cash for renovation and also for furnishings. Moreover we lent quite of money to a friend who really needs it. We're just barely pulling it through and Chris told me sadly he needs somemore to tide him over before our 1 year lease ends. As the landlord is refusing to draft up a new lease for us now unless we pay up the remainder.
After I hung up the phone, I was really fighting back my tears. My brother whom I'm really close to has never really bow down and asked me for money before. The last couple of times was when i egged him on cuz I know he really needs it. He, as a grown up man have fulfilled his responsibility to take extremely good care of the family for a pretty long time. And it really hurts me to see him this way. My heart really goes out to him. And finally when there's no one else in the shop at 6 plus, I broke down. And finally I was able to release my emotions...
I'm determined to help them cuz they're my only kins. I'll really do whatever it takes me to. Frankly this has been on my mind for months - To get them to stay together with Dan and me in our new place before they buy an apartment. But I've never brought it up to Dan. Because I myself is apprehensive. I really do not know what to do...
I guess time will tell... The only happy thing is that at least my family members are rather healthy. Except with my mum having cataract and would be going for the operation end of July.

The Past 1 Year
Haven't touch this arena for the past 1 year. And I felt bad for leaving it on a bad note. Been forever wanting to get on it but just didn't really get down to it.
Many events happened in the past year, mostly happy ones but one extremely disheartening one.
I felt like I've seen the worst of people in this one year. Of a lost friend, of 2 actually.
It didn't feel good at all, especially in the case of a decade old friend. Not really just a friend.
She's really more of a soulmate to me actually. Felt very close to her, being able to really have heart to heart talks. And then she felt disconnected. But she have never once brought it up. The rest of us felt nothing but absence even when she's physically with us. Not really willing to engage with us and occasionally threw tantrums at us on whatsapp. Probably she didn't feel tht she's changed her attitude towards us, but it's really obvious.
Felt so upset. Really felt worst than even a breakup with a guy. Cuz we, as women are connected in so much more ways. I was the one who made it ugly. But why, why can't you just bring it up each and everytime instead of having to keep it all in and then suddenly realised you're disconnected? Wouldn't it be worst?
Even though it happened exactly 6 months ago it's still very fresh in my mind. I'm sorry but I do not expect any less from you cuz you're just not a simple hi-bye acquaintance to me. It hurts like hell really. And stupid me moaned over the loss of a friendship for a freaking few days, crying like some stupid freak. Did you even feel anything?
In any case, I guess it just wouldn't be the same anymore. And I've tried very hard, to connect with her yet now I'm jaded. I'm not gonna try anymore. Have even gotten a nice gift for her from my honeymoon yet she didn't even bother to meet up with Sandy for 2 min in the office lobby. Amazing how fast someone can turn their backs in you.
I can only say, Trio was once formed before in my poly days and it'll always exist forever in my life. That's that. I can do anything for my friends and now there's only 2 great girls but it's more than enough. I'm still truly grateful!
I'm a little sad I didn't follow up on the preparation of my big day last year. But in any case I'm totally psyched about moving in before my birthday this year! Into a place my husband Dan and me call our own. Yay!
So surreal, felt like yesterday when we just collected our keys and now the renovation work's going to be completed on the 15th! We've spent all of our savings on it and incurred a debt. Reason cuz we lent a sum of money to a friend in need. But it's alright, we're still good to go!
Can't wait to invite our families over as well as friends! =)
