sick of packing

jeez, i havent blogged for sometime...

lets see... friday wasnt much... the same old packing again... the vacuum back sure helps a lot.

my forced me to go grocery shopping for the barbeque at noon, and it was very tiring, coz it was a lot of heavy stuff that i intended to get on saturday instead. sometimes its just so difficult to convey my opinion coz nobody seems to listen. im doing everything in my own pace, everything's planned in my head and im forced to change those plans coz of external conditions. makes me furious. and certain events that led to last night didnt help either. those fuckers, who the hell do they think they are. but i had a fun dinner at a family friends place on friday night. the two kids there were very energetic and it was quite funny to see them run about endlessly.

i guess as days count down to the day of departure, everyone becomes rather short tempered. everyone seems to be getting into an argument every now and then over trivial matters. so much so, i just dont say anything anymore, coz it just seems to make everything worse. plus with some reunion thing thats been planned by my relatives, its adding on to a heck of expenses, as if it wasnt bad enough. and funny thing is, initially we are all resistent to them all, but you find out like a day later that we're giving into it anyway.

anyway, i just hoped that everyone had a good time at the barbeque, my only regret is that i didnt get to spend enough time talking to people, since i was by the fire most of the time. its funny since it was meant to be a farewell thing for me. felt quite bad for chahat, srabs, paulina, cipto, hazril, kim and siyan who dropped by, but they seemed to be in their own corner, since they didnt know many of the people that were present that night. but if everyone had an enjoyable time, then the purpose has been served. we definately managed to keep the fire going this time, and although we cooked a lot of food, i guess the fire was way too strong, so many of them consumed burnt food or something...

junwen, all the best in brunei...

and everyone, thanks a lot for coming, im not sure when im coming back, hopefully next year, but even if i dont, i sure hope that everything goes well for whatever you guys do. im really gonna miss the times we spent with eachother, as years go on from now, the time we get to spend will be getting shorter and more toned down, these times will never come back.

going to another family friend's place for lunch and then see what else there is to pack.. im mostly done on my part, but there's always something last minute from members of the family that just ticks me off.
