More Presents..
The presents are flowing in steadily. Received a tennis calendar from Wanpei and my bestest friend yesterday. Thanks, the wait was really worthwhile :) Still looking for a place to hang it up though. Also received another present from Quah a few hours ago. So far so good. Currently waiting for 2 more.
I just realised the last time I saw my best friend was in July. Come to think of it, I hardly saw my old friends during the semester. My life only revolved around econs for the past 5 months. Anyway, each time I see my best friend, she looks different. I really had a long chat with her just now. First time in at least 2 years. It's like getting to know her all over again. Or rather, getting to know the 'new' her.
Sometimes, I feel I'm really terrible at building or maintaining relationships and friendships. I seldom bother calling my friends and making an effort to get their birthday presents. I take people around me for granted. I felt really guilty when Cousin Wei called me a few days after my birthday at midnight to wish me a happy belated birthday. Even though it was belated, its better than nothing. Coz her birthday was like 3 months ago. I actually remembered on that day itself, but as usual, I didn't even bother smsing her. Another instance. Michelle called me a few days before the exams wishing me happy birthday and actually wanting to meet me for lunch. I told her I would call her after my exams to arrange. Well, it has been 5 days since my exams ended and I haven't called her.
Had a weird encounter just now. Was at Kinokuniya searching for a book to read when I felt a pair of eyes starring at me. I looked up out of curiousity.
Funny looking Man: Do you go to church on Sundays?
Swiss Miss: No. (was about to turn away when he continued)
Funny looking Man: Btw, do you want to go to church?
Swiss Miss: It's none of your business. (Walked away from him)
I almost wanted to reply him, "I'm a Buddhist" but decided against it at the last second. Anyway, the worst part was that he stayed put at the section which I was interested in for the next 10 minutes, depriving me of looking for the book to read. Sickening.
