It's Always the Same People Who Can Affect You Most - fragmented thoughts

A tad too tired to think of a title, and so, I decided to copy it off my MSN nick.

Whilst saying something today, I suddenly realised that I've been meeting quite a number of people this week. Not a bad thing actually, just that, it's surprising, at least for me.

Yesterday was the last day in Real Estate. It's a little hard to believe that one month passes so quickly. Perhaps the weekly 4-day-week did the trick, but towards the end, it wasn't as badly awful as at the beginning. At least, towards the last week, there was work to keep me occupied. In fact, work came from one of the lawyers for the first time, and frankly, I really prefer doing work for him than some others. At least he was more willing to set time aside to explain and receive my completed work.

Met up with Gek Koon in the evening to collect the birthday present that I was supposed to have already received before my birthday. Thanks Peiqi! I LOVE the stickers! And the toy/art gadget! Ermz.. I'll practise a bit more first before I make you something, in case it looks uglier than what your kids make.. Hee...

Yesterday's dinner made me suddenly notice how time flies, or rather, how much we've grown older. Or perhaps it's just Koon's fault for looking more haggard than usual?

Went cycling with Nelson, Vicknesh and Nelson's friend (I think his name is Shawn?) It was fun and I can cycle (which was sort of a fact a while ago already, only that I didn't know how to not 'kill' myself cycling that's all) . Oh yes, and as is usual (at least for me) after cycling, I've now 2 blisters on my hands, 1 kind of injured knee, and a 3-4 cm long bruise, on top of the 2 blisters I had on my ankle yesterday. For the bruise, I didn't notice it till I got home, but it at least made the fact that my ankle felt numb towards the end of the cycle seem more sensible. Since I'm already whining, I shall whine a little bit more. My knee hurts! As in I can't bend or straighten without feeling the pain. And it feels a kind of inflammed too.

I really don't know what came over me to call a friend to ask for plasters after I felt the pain and the numbness. And he did come down with the first aid box (which only had plasters.. Hmm..) Frankly, come to think of it, I should not have done so. I mean, if I could ignore it and continue cycling for quite a bit more, what's the difference with dealing with it when I got back, right? It's just my whining and self-centred nature popping up, I guess.

********

As I was walking with the group for lunch and throughout the rest of the time I was with the guys (especially after a call from another person) I couldn't help recalling a deleted part of an earlier entry. Am I the one guilty of giving up the friendship instead? Perhaps I am just too much of an attention-seeker? Or perhaps it's just a case of forgiven but never forgotten.

********

My knee seriously hurts, especially with the hot sensation emanating from the covered wound (I just realised.. why on earth did I use plaster without medication? or even better, cotton wool without medication?) K lah, but I seriously hope I won't have to limp to Buangkok station for the UFM100.3 talk tomorrow. Should be interesting! =)
