blasted

I really miss the people in Gipps for a few reasons.

Attended the Buddy training session today.. mostly hung around Yasir, Tristan, Nima & Foong. It was alright, the dude organizing the training had a knack for telling stories. After that, got the perks, headed to Tristan's where we played various games on his Xbox, his Xbox 360 and just sat around to talk crap, headed out to dinner and then mamak with TY, then back home.

In a nutshell.

"Why are we so negative?"

To me, this is what we truly have in excess of that isn't really necessary. I felt so crap thinking that we're in such a sad mental state. Surely, surely its better to enjoy the joys of sunshine than to grip on how sweaty you're going to get and how much BO you're going to produce. Or that we're supposed to be enthusiastic about everything on the day itself and yet when we are being 'orientated' on our duties we display the exact opposite behaviour. Metaphorically speaking, of course. For me it came to a point that I felt like giving them two good slaps across the face. Totally ruined my mood and left me rather angry just thinking about it.

But hey, my theory in life is that for every obstacle/unhappy bits I currently face, there are surely worse ones out there. Deal with it. Also, who am I to judge them? I'm probably being hypocritical since at some point of time some time ago I was most likely just exactly like them. I'm not a role model, but I guess I just felt disgusted. If you don't want to do it why are you even bloody here to begin with?

In hindsight, I might be suffering from cultural backlash. I feel like an international student cause everything is new again. Sure, I have my friends before I left and I can't deny it that I've changed, they've changed - someway, somehow. Good or bad I don't know, and I choose not to judge. That aside, I wonder if it was the right move to participate in playing mentor when I feel that I still need mentoring although by right I'm supposed to be a senior.

Health talk all around the mamak table today. It's like recitals from health reading material. My hats off to them. At least they take it to heart and do something about it.
