emotions

had a rather emotional day yesterday. the negative emotions are most probably due to the fact that i did not get much of a good sleep these few days.

let's start with the positive emotions. went to TA for lunch with tere (she insisted on eating the siomay there) and did a some shopping. then we changed location to PS to meet henry for not sure what (late lunch? coffee? dinner?). we finally settled for chatterbox as the rest would be too crowded. i haven't tried the chatterbox in PS since it was renovated. the newly design resto was uplifting, food was above average and price was acceptable. we talked about a few serious matters but ended up joking around. the usual but entertaining stuff. anyway, on my way to the toilet (which was inside the kinnokuniya bookshop), i bought a fortune magazine. was actually looking for my favourite tabloid (they don't sell cheap tabloid there) when fortune caught my attention.

while flipping through the fortune in the resto and i found out that blogging is the top tech trends to watch in 2005. was of course delighted and proud. hehe. but well, henry and tere didn't know what blogging was.

now the negative ones. was awaken 10.15 this morning by a phonecall from julie. geez... i woke up way too late for church. felt kind of guilty about it. then mum called around 12 to ask where i was. when she found out that i did not go to church, the usual nag starts again. and instead of my usual "yes, mum" reaction, i challenged her today. that made her upset. later that night, mum confronted me about the "not going to church" incident. we haven't quite finished our debate over the phone this morning. got quite emotional. but well, i was angry. i was angry at her for not trusting me. i was angry at her for trying to shape me so much to the person that she wants me to be.

anyway, the strategy i chose to handle with my mum today was not a wise choice. after much thought, i think i should go back to the old strategy. will be more patient next time. it is never wise to upset your own parent.

hmnn... busy week ahead. better go back to bed now. :)

mood: much much better than before
music: none
