The Opera Populaire

I haven't been completely happy for the past month or so. A huge issue had arose, forcing me to rethink my priorities, dreams and ambition. In the light of the development, I also wonder if I ought to pursue further studies. As a result, my health has deteriorated, with the thyroid condition falling back to what it was in 2005, when I first discovered it. Catching up with some friends like Audrey and Uncle made me happy, but with my character, any feeling of joy seldom last. It is also difficult for me to see that some unsavoury characters I left behind the old workplace have been gaining new friends. I guess she is smart at getting people to do what she wants, but the fact that people are responding to her probably stems more from her inner desperation and subsequent efforts to be favoured rather than any charm she may have. I have never attempted to create any "opposition" to her, but she had been simply incorrigible and people had rallied to me then. But looks like all is forgotten now. Same goes for another issue. I guess I am not that good at keeping people's favour.

He is away for military service and that means that I have lost a listening ear for more than a week. I guess absence does make the heart fonder.

Perhaps sometimes being with those who really cares are all that matter. And I am glad that I still have some of those peeps.

The lady at the KFC counter at JP let out an impatient," Why din you tell me earlier??" in Chinese when her actions were too quick for me to let her know that I wanted Mountain Dew to go with my meal instead of the standard Pepsi. I just glared at her and told her that I was just going to tell her. She waved dismissively and said,"never mind! Never Mind! There are other customers behind!" I have really grown impatient and intolerant, or perhaps the thyroid makes me so. This may hit me back in the face but I do not really like most of the Cantonese women I met.

While at JP today, I was browsing a nail decoration shop. This little Indian girl suddenly walked to my side and stood beside me, beaming. She said, "Hello." I was amused and greeted her as well. Asked her for her name and chatted a little before my mother came and asked her back. The little girl said that she liked "this auntie", to which the mother nodded her assent, saying that "this aunty" was nice. She was my little sunshine for the day.
