On a Saturday evening.

My mobile vibrated.

"Hello."

"Hello. 2 days ago was your birthday right?"

"Yup."

"See, I remember."

"Oh yeah right you remembered."

"(laughs) Ok I just want to say happy belated birthday."

"Thank you."

"Has school started?"

"Yup. A week ago."

"Ok. Take care and study hard. See you soon."

"Yup. Take care."

"Bye."

A call received on a Saturday evening, from whom used to be a very good friend but now seemingly feels like a total (ok maybe not total) stranger.

See what I mean? Things change. Because he never forgets but this year he forgot.

Sometimes what is the point of saying you remember a person's birthday when you do not remember on that day itself?

Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort in making the call.

I'll never understand.

Some people, you try to break them before you build them. Some people, you are only remembered by them when they need your help. Some people, you spend time trying to change them only to realise you were never someone who could impact their lives. Some people, they hurt you so much but you know, they are just not worth it. So, don't bother. ASPIRE 2010 was a screwed yet another learning experience for me this time. I'd really like to thank my fellow peers for going through shit with me. And thank goodness that I believe in miracles. You never know what happens until the last minute, really. I never felt so shagged, and devastated about people.

All the small things.

So blonde Neo came with a packet of sushi and my chrysanthemum tea and Mr. Bean's pancakes. We continued to gorge ourselves with cones (actually just 2) of Cornetto which I bought to reward myself after a long time of not having eaten ice cream. We studied and also watched The Family Court. I really feel sad for AhWU that everyones hates his Leshan role but I guess he's right that actors and actresses like to see audiences' reactions towards their acting. What a breakthrough for him! Had supper with Shirl and Eh Chris! at somewhere nearby. Continued to study with Angie and we (or rather I) had a bad night because she was coughing quite badly. Blonde Neo I tell you, you better start drinking bottles of water when you get home today. NO MORE CHIPS!!! I'm watching you.... So anyway, in the morning we had Mac breakfast and Angie FINALLY invited me to her house wheeeeeeeee. Happening hor? Meeting the climates (Auntie Rainbow, Sunshine boy and Rain) later to celebrate mid-aut...
