Bomberman or KD?

I was kinda excited to tell JD about my interview today in detail. I wanted him to share my joy. But seconds into the phone conversation, I hear loud laughing and game sounds FX. I realised he was playing Bomberman with his colleagues over wireless PSP and my mood changed immediately.

I got angry because he told me to call him but he seems more concern with his game.

I got angry because he told me he was very tired and wanting to sleep soon, so I rushed through shower and work to call him asap.

I got angry because he insists that he is very good at multi-tasking but in fact his responses become slow when talking to me.

I got angry because this is not the first time.

But nevertheless, I didn't stop him from playing. Instead I decided to vent my anger here then go to bed. JD can play his game for as long as he wants.

1st Job Interview

After slacking for near 3 months since I graduated, it's about time I give up drama serials and long sleeping hours to join the work force. At first, I was rather nervous and sceptical about my job interview today. I have always been doing freelance since I got out of NS, and that did not require me to communicate with employers. Neither do I have to answer to a superior.

Then midway through the interview, I realised it was almost like back in school when I was running for positions in the executive committee. I'd be standing in front of all the members, trying to answer every question that they eagerly post at me. So long you exude confidence in articulation and provide logical responses, you're pretty much over the halfway point.

Once the interview was over, I called JD immediately. And for that few minutes of conversation, I was smiling very happily over the phone.

To JD With Love

Ok I'm going to bring over the 5th and last present to JD's place now. Hopefully he likes it, remembers to water it and will take good care of it. I wonder what time is he going to wake up though.

Happy Birthday JD!

KBox Surprise

It was pre-planned with ZH to go KBox today. JD's bday is round the corner and ZH decided to surprise him with a cake while he's busy singing.

So while JD's occupied with the mic, ZH and his bf arrived with a creamy Chocolate Truffle from Han's lighted with candles. There was the usual fanfare and not forgetting that some of the truffle landed on JD's face :p

The whole evening was sheer fun which ended with JD winning yet another pair of movie tickets in a mystery game. Hopefully we can find time to watch it before it ends.

Birthday Foreword

After shedding much blood and sweat, my birthday forewords (BF) for JD was finally sent in full. BF is a combination of message and animation. Everyday for the past 5 days at a scheduled time, JD will first receive a pop up message followed by a Flash animation on his laptop.

The message and animation is different everyday. They are intended to convey my thoughts and feelings to JD while he's in camp and I'm very glad to know that he liked them a lot.

So for the last set of BF yesterday, it was a simple...

Happy Birthday JD! (I hope I'm the first)

Making Things Worse

Last night, something dreadful happened. Even though I saw it coming, I could not do anything because JD applied brute force to the matter. He knew I would give in for his sake. And in the end, I got a terribly scolding from my parents which led to tighter curfews.

Why can't he simply just put up with my limitations till I get a job? Does he really want me to quarrel with my parents again?

Bintan Trip

Last week was our short 2D1N getaway to Bintan. Even though it was hurriedly planned, it was nevertheless lots of fun. I'll blog about the trip later on once I get the photos from JD.

I Hate Picking Up Coin

This evening while having Rochor bean curd at Selegie, JD gave me a very huge scolding. He listed out all the things that he couldn't tolerate about me. I never knew those things he mentioned had bothered him so much. I always thought he understood and I intended to argue back and reason it out.

Then he hit a soft spot and that's when I gave up and gave in. I can't even pick up a damn ten cent coin for a plump lady. I just kept quiet and listened. I didn't want to start another argument.

I Hate Cycling

I finished up work and decided to meet JD for a while just now at about 4.30pm. I decided to try cycling to his place and realised I could reach him in mere 10 minutes. So I told myself that there's no reason for me to not do this more often in the future.

We met at his block and cycled together to the market near my place for ice desserts. Then as we left, I knew JD would accompany me home even though his bicycle requires tremendous effort to travel up slopes. So I chose a long & steep route over a short & very steep route.

In the end, JD got leg-cramp and got very upset with me. He guess he's walking home now. I don't know if I should have picked the short & very steep route. But I told myself that I'm not going to cycle to his place again.

21st Birthday Surprise

Today is one of JD's friend's birthday. He wanted to go over to his place to surprise him with a Black Forest and insisted I joined him. At first I was very reluctant but the curiosity to see this important friend in person made me agree finally.

I thought it would be very awkward for me but it turned out fine especially since JD's friend was very nice. The mini-celebration ended shortly and I had to rush home to clear work, which is what I am halfway through now. I have to finish this if I'm going to enjoy myself at Bintan later in the afternoon.

Doh! I haven't pack yet.
