Nothing much going on tonight. Might sleep early..

Today was an unmitigated disaster of fairly large proportions. Let's see, well, morning I went to meet Val and Ben at Ikea for breakfast. Everything was fine and dandy then. Food was great, and I really missed dining at Ikea. After that we went back to Val's place where I gave tuition. Once again they didn't do their work. I wanted to find out why but then they told me I came on Fri and they were out the entire Saturday. Ok. Fine.
Want to complain but this week I also only gave them one day. Can't complain this week. The other lesson before they also didn't do much. Their work ethic is. Tsk. Hard for me to scold them, because I know them personally and I don't really want to. And yet, they aren't putting in effort. Val, I hope you read this but I doubt so. They really need to buck up and put in effort but they aren't. They're not helping themselves.
Went Tamp to look at NAS. May get one the next IT fair. Running out of space on my hard disk. Then after a little trouble coordinating we finally got XW to pick us up at Tampines. Made our way to Ngee Ann Sec where ben was meeting Kiaming. On the way there, some short tempered driver horned XW as she made a turn. Jin lowered the window and flipped the guy the Universal Falcon of the World. AKA, the Bird/Up Yours/Fuck You.
Now in the name of all that is good and just on this world, I do heartily and strongly condone such an action. The only problem is that a)I don't have the guts to do so (as described later) and b) I am also not Taekwondo trained. Also, the ensuing result of allowing the driver of the car behind us to catch sight of that great and majestic winged falcon of the earth only served to put us in my first ever case of road rage.
After gloriously speeding off into the sunset, we encountered at red light at the next intersection. So the angry driver cut into our lane in front of XW, and got out and demanded to settle the issue as to why he was treated to such a display. So, jin got out and followed him. XW asked us to stop him. so we got out of the car in the middle of traffic and ran after him. They drove the cars to the side of a petrol kiosk and proceeded to have an argument right there. Well, they pretty much ignored me and ben.
After much shouting, the guy felt threatened by us and wanted to call his friends along. jin went off to talk to him. XW went over to plead. His wife and kids were in the car. Nice one. Next, the man told jin his wife might leave him so they apologised to each other and the women. We drove off. And made our way to Ikea. Quietly. We got the the restaurant and discovered revelation number two. At Val's house XW msged me saying she wanted to eat meatballs. So the whole purpose of going to ikea after lunch was for her to eat. Turns out, she had eaten already. And was driving us to Ikea. For us to 'eat' with her. Whoa. Mind. Blown.
She said she'd go off with jin for a while, then ben and I wandered around for a while. Then after a while she texted me saying she had left. We went to look at bedframes. Ben got a pillow and blanket. Then after that we left for home. I think because of the whole fiasco and everything dragged so long ben also didn't want to go nx house anymore. =\ So yeah. That was my Sunday.
And suddenly I'm reminded of something. Fri night after Halo Bar, Shawn and SY and I were going back. As always whenever she is around, he inevitably brings up this topic. He ALWAYS brings up this topic. Whenever she's around He simply CANNOT fucking drop it. He goes on in this semi-joking way about how I once liked her, how he shouldn't have trusted her with me and how I betrayed him, yada yada yada.
Well, YOU CAN FUCKING WELL HAVE HER FOR ALL I CARE. I don't give a rat's ass. Jeez, I know your dainty yet massive manhood/ego was damaged by this 'assault' on the prized trophy you coveted but YOU GOT HER ALREADY. You chased her for 6 bloody years, you've gotten her, why can't you just simply FUCKING drop this issue. It was a small incident in the first place for crying out loud. 1, it was 5 years ago, 2 we were 16, 3, it was a small crush, 4, it was exams period, we spent days all around each other eating, sleeping and mugging, stressed out. 5, it's OVER. Don't you get it? Or are you so happy you got her you like to trumpet about it to boost your ego and try to heal the dent it took last time?
Also, after your on-again off-again relationship, the spiraling period of depressions it sent you into, the talks and advice I gave you, you keep bringing it up. After seeing her splurge incessantly again and again and AGAIN on clothes online, and EXPENSIVE branded goods, I am RELIEVED it never went through. You can have her for all I care. I'm just GLAD it's not me. Don't you get it? After seeing her throw her temper at you once, I'm GLAD its not me. Keep her.
That night, even she said you were making things awkward. See? Don't you see? Even she notices it, only you are oblivious to the ego masturbation going on here. So just STFU for once, ya? I have no more designs on her since 5 years ago. Every time you do this, you are only making things awkward for everyone present. This is the JERK she saw when she refused to date you before. =.=
