Just trying to do the best one can. Perhaps there is never a good enough.
Merry? Christmas.

2008- Still Functioning
It's one day before Christmas eve and the office sits quiet like just before the invigilator says "OK pens down". I'm sucked into an endless hum... (or maybe it's just the air con...). The phones are not ringing and I haven't had a single email all day. K's on leave and D's gone to Bali... My bosses are busy getting ready for Christmas with their family. I'm sitting here blogging.
The year is trickling to an end and there's no way to stop time so I'm just rolling with it. Looking back at all the drama around the world this past year, I think I did okay. I hope things will get better for everyone come 2009. I try to remember the highlights of 2008 in my personal life but I can't think of any. the word is... it was all okay. And I am glad.
Boredom tires one as easily or more so as an active day. Boredom in a year? Exhausting. But I really can't think of any complains. I am feeling functional, but just that. Nothing exciting.
2008 is the year I decided not to seek another job, the year I decided that money and being "with it" is less important to me than I thought it was. So now I'm not cool and I'm penniless. 2008 is the year I welcome Rae and Sippy Straw into my life. I already know they are tightening their little fingers/paws around my heart. What a strange and wondrous feeling! 2008 is the year we dropped Dino into the abyss and I'm still wondering about the idiot even though I know I shouldn't. 2008 was a year of happy routines and cutting out unhappiness.
On a side note...I went to JB last Sunday. I have not make it a point to see my paternal grandma as much as I should. I guess it has to do with the fact that I spent the whole day sitting in the same room and not speaking to her! Horrible am I not? It is not that I don't care, I just don't have much to say. So I hugged her several times. It seems like we are separated by years of awkwardness. So much so that the room becomes stifling and I feel like an imbecile. I cut the awkwardness with hugs. That's all I can do. Be there and be huggable. I am a dull child. Probably always have been.
I'm going to meet K and her baybeesh in abit. Maybe I'll have more to say tomorrow...
