My family went on an overseas trip to Bangkok during Chinese New Year without me, again. Not that I covet the trip anyway. There are times when being alone at home, and having the car to yourself is very much welcome. I wasn't alone for the 1st day of Chinese New Year though. My university mates came over to my house during the 1st day for steamboat and gambling. I'll never say this in person, but I actually am grateful for, and do enjoy their company. Just that I had a problem with their lack of effort to finish the food.
Regarding my studies, I survived another wave of assignments again. I feel as if I'm getting umm... lazier? I'm kinda adopting a "should work hard but can't really be bothered" attitude. Tests, assignments, and exams will soon follow. I should be getting worried, but for some reason, I'm disturbingly calm (what irony).
I went for my reservist last week. I'm pretty rusty in many areas, but then again, I don't really care anymore. We all move on one way or the other. That said, meeting old friends and colleagues in camp was rather enjoyable. Fate was rather kind as well, allowing me to book out for my lessons.
I went back to work only to realize that a certain colleague just had her contract terminated. I did know that things were getting rather sour between my boss and her due to a particular incident. However, it still came as a surprise considering the rather sudden and high-handed maneuvers involved. That colleague eventually decided not to serve out her one month termination notice period and decided to leave. I feel that I am treading dangerously close to following in her footsteps for some reason. Best to feel the ground before treading. Anyway, colleagues and boss aside, the kids are really getting a tad difficult to handle. I'm still trying to believe in the "Kids go where there is excitement. They stay where there is love." - Zig Ziglar
A friend and group mate from one of my module once said to me, "You may think you hide things pretty well, but you're actually ****ing easy to read." At that time, I didn't really agree with his statement though. However, I've recently realized that there are people who have been making observations about some of my behaviours, and at the same time making interpretations of their own. Through a conversation with someone regarding this particular topic, I've realized that it is possible to be both amused and insulted at the same time. Quite an experience! Anyway, regardless of the accuracy, or inaccuracy of their interpretations, I wonder if I have to be more conscious of my actions in future.

"The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions." - E. Stanley Jones
