so here i am, writing this and wondering where i'm gonna get my lunch. the heat is just oppressive and my brother took the car out so i'm just a tad bit reluctant to leave the house in this weather. but maybe i should just make the most of it and go for a swim later. have to head down to the police station anyway. in case you're wondering why i've got to do that, no...i didn't commit a felony; what happened was that my parents are out of town. they're over in europe on holiday. dad's recently retired and mom's doing the same later in the year so they're just enjoying themselves now seeing as that i'm their only liability left. both older brothers are married and settled, one's even a dad now! everyone say hi to baby tricia...
so anyway, i digress. back to the whole police station thing. drove to work the other day cos i had a meeting at sph in the morning and it was just too much hassle to make my way down and parked along purvis street. came down to the car later that night after i finally got off work and saw this post-it on my side view mirror.
so i went to make a police report and the problem was that i didn't have the car's certificate of insurance. went back again and realised that the one in the car was expired. couldn't find the damned thing so i had to call the insurance company to send another copy but i was just so busy with work that i didn't have a chance to do it til earlier this week and the form's only just arrived.
so now i don't really know what to say anymore, wondering if i should dump everything that's happened over the last year all in one entry. perhaps i should just do a quick update in cronological order. in reference to the last entry, i'm over that girl. she's back with the ex and they're happy. so that's good. big brother eugene got married. mom suffered from an aneurysm, got us pretty worried for awhile but she's alright now. 2nd bro ernie's a dad. dad's retired...more like lost his job cos his company got bought over but it worked out great cos he got a big fat golden handshake so he decided to take an early retirement. the company that bought his company over offered him a job but he declined cos it didn't pay enough, he's thinking of setting up his own manpower/headhunting firm with a friend, i don't know what the status with that is. and finally, i just got promoted...i'm a senior ass now, ok, senior associate. just so you know..an associate in my agency's the equivalant of an account exec.
so i spent most of the weekend playing mahjong. took the day off on friday and played mahjong on thursday night. played again on friday night and on sat, got two smses in a row about mahjonging and i figured twice in a week is more than enough. even stood up ma sista da joker on thursday. was supposed to go down with her and my lover eugene. eugene and i decided to play mahjong instead. that's like the 2nd time we've done that to her. my bad...
so just in case you were wondering, "ma sista da joker" an oblique reference to the solitaire mystery by jostein garrder, and bob dylan's stuck in the middle with you where there's a line that goes, clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. here i am, stuck in the middle with you". she calls me her sister the clown. go figure. oh, and my lover eugene, we got stuck being labeled as lovers when the ex complained that i was spending more time with him than with her. and it stuck.
so i guess that's about it for now. maybe i'll post another entry sometime next year. in the meantime, let me leave you with a little something i did in the office when i was so tired of work one night.
ennui in the office
