Too much…
…
June - movers come
July - apartment is released
end of July - sis goes to korea for friggin’ 1 1/2 months.
Its either i make up mind whether to move with sis or move out…in which case theres not much friggin’ use cos i’d be expected to live in a huge empty double storey house ALONE all by myself in friggin Puchong, far away from work, town adn the rest of civilisation. And for 90 days no less. Not much choice, is there? Peachy.
Too much to handle. Right about now would be a good time to scream. And Gloria Estefan is on the radio.
Worse news, 7 yr old nephew lost his eardrum in a freak accident…. poor lad had to have graft surgery done and with time on his side… his eardrum may grow back again…. poor Justin.
About two days, in a fit of frustration had sent out an email pointing out that we were becoming much much MUCH too busy and forgetting to slow down to smell the roses… or rather in email’s case forgetting to slow down to see whats happening around us and letting too many mistakes happen.
I still remember much simpler times………….could it have been that long ago? When the weather wasnt so hot as it is nowadays - 5pm usually signalled a sun that didnt shine so fierce and bright as it does nowdays…………….we could count on rainy seasons to come late in the year and end by around the time when we would be celebrating Chinese New Year… when calling a friend usually meant going to the nearest public phone booth and making sure to bring enough coins…when all one had to worry about was finishing homework, doing well for exams and making sure one wasnt ostracised in school………….when not only my long term memory lasted but my short term one as well and I wouldnt misplace as many things as I do and for as often as i do nowadays……………when quality family time meant something, usually evenings in front of the television when everyone present; and nowadays there’s talk of Mobile TV and the need for it and the certainty it will take off because people are spending lesser and lesser time at home, theres still demand for not just Blackberrys’ but more and more push email devices because nowadays its OK to spend less time on yourself and friends/family………. ah.
The paper chase. The accumulation of material wealth. The social climb. And the tech we need to take us there and prove to ourselves and the world that we’ve made it.
Form Six’s General Paper used to have essay topics where we’d have to talk about society’s need to chase material wealth at the expense of quality of life……….all the general paper exams in the world surely wouldnt prepare Form Sixers for this……….they should have made us take the paper when we are older like now………cos we are literally living it.

This animated movie was NOT what i expected… truth be told i didnt know what ti expect … but thats the thing with animated movies…theres a guarantee of good fun, humour and feel good buzz. But, it touched a surprising theme that we seldom see in any kind of movies past or present. Though I guess it suited when talking characters in the movie are automobiles and theres expectation for them to DO what they were built for - go places fast.
Go watch it and see for yourself.
