I think deep down everyone knew that there’s no way we could split that task, since the sub tasks are not at all independent. Everyone knew that someone have to do the job. No one mention a word, thus I volunteered.

*shrugs*

One of them doubt my words that I could get it done by this weekend. I had proven you wrong. Kind of proud of myself actually; not just because I managed to do it fast, but more of being able to write quality codes. :)

Got to take a bath now. Have to start working on yet another project later because my team mates for that project doesn’t want to do a single thing; they don’t even want to have a discussion! I’m so going to make sure that I would never work with girls again.

*sigh*

And so, I would be volunteering yet again, to do more for that project.

I think I volunteered way too much, for the wrong things.

And it makes me really happy because I had been waiting for twenty to thirty minutes every morning, evening and nights, for the bus arrival.

Kept missing buses these days, no idea why. :(

He even closed the door of my room, so that I wouldn’t be disturbed by the mopping.

Freaking touched, really.

And, the same someone who said that he’s happy as long as I’m happy.

Simple gestures and words like these stay on with me for a long long while. And they cheer me up and cheer me on. :)

It’s great having friends, who cares.

The first time I saw the sky flooded with blinking stars was some seven years ago, at a campsite. I remembered that it was Kim’s and Doreen’s idea to lay the sleeping bags outside of our canvas tent; just to gaze at the stars.

I never felt that it was a great idea, but now I do.

Honestly, I miss the good old camping days. The making of identifiers, tent pitching, gadgets making, outdoor cooking, six sinful meals a day, singing of songs, and even the group cheers which I used to dislike a lot.

That camp, seven years ago, was the best camp I ever had; I learnt a lot. I hope my teammates are doing fine now.

Hmm, I think I’m starting to like staying back late in the office, just so that I could catch a glimpse of the beautiful night view. :)

I just can take it no more.

It’s bothering me far too much.

You know, it scares me whenever I’m with a big group of friends, in a really noisy place. I get really stressed easily.

The reason?

I can’t hear more than half of the things anyone says, even if you are just next to me.

And, it bothers me a lot. Because I wouldn’t know what to reply.

During the Company’s Lunar New Year brunch last week, I was trying hard to avoid eye contact with anyone at my table because I don’t want to start any conversation. Well, I succeeded. But, I felt really bad and sad.

Today, I met up with yet another big group of friends for steamboat dinner. The place was a million times noisier than last Friday’s. Okay, I exaggerated, but it was that bad. I have a really hard time trying to listen.

KM was being really nice by talking to me for the whole evening. I know he doesn’t want me to feel that I’m being left out. I totally appreciate that! But he ended up having to repeat himself a lot of times. And the worst part was that, I still couldn’t catch his words!

I either nod and smile, or gave him a blur look. I don’t like to make people repeat their words for far too many times. But nodding and smiling, without comprehending what the other person was saying is equally bad.

You know, I feel that I’ve lost quite a number of friends because of the nodding and smiling attitude when they talk to me. It’s really rude! And it makes the latter feel that I’m uninterested or totally can’t be bothered to talk to him/ her.

*sigh*

Sometimes, I wish I could wear a sign that says: I’m hearing impaired.

I wish to scream badly.

I’m hoping that I’ll feel much better after a night of rest.

Good night, people.

But I’m glad I didn’t.

Finally, I have the audio problem of her PC fixed. She have been waiting for this day! No more reading of subtitles for her. :)

Now, it’s back to studying, after not touching the books for almost three days!

Dad just grumbles to me when mum’s not around. And when mum’s around and he was being screamed at, we just look at each other and shook our heads.

Sigh.

For the past few weekends, I have been woken up by my mum’s screaming. Honestly, it’s driving me crazy. I’m very much deprived of proper rest.

Friends are the ones who pick me up when I have a nasty fall. They give me a hand, lead me back to the track again, and watch me grow. Some friends continue to walk that path with me, some chose to watch me silently, others chose to leave after some time. Either way, I’m thankful, eternally.

Sometimes when life gets really tough, when everything doesn’t seems to go well, I’ll just remind myself of all the friends I ever had, be it close or not, be it still in contact or not.

Then, I’ll smile to myself and think of the happy times.

It cheers me up a lot, really.

I’m sincerely grateful that no matter where I am, there’ll always be a nice bunch of people walking beside me, guiding me along.

Company’s Lunar New Year brunch was very much enjoyable, even though I was half awake half of the time, but I really had a great time. Despite having to do a skit for the performance, I’m grateful to know a new bunch of crazy friends. :)

I’m starting to like going to work a little more, just because of the wonderful people I get to meet.
