TALk IT OUt...

...okie..finally, we (ceci, k & me) have talked it out today during lunch..*siting on the lawn wif our sushi in hand..nice weather..cool breeze ..warm sunshine ..okie stop* ..abt the accommodation issue that has bothered me and has affected my appetite for the past one wk or so (aiyo but din slim down le)...not sure whether to forgive them or not..but i guess...deep in my heart, i've already half-forgiven them (cos i still treat them as frens..) & esp when i see that things r turning for the beta(i hope it'll continue to be) :>...I needed time to cool down last week...i'm feeling much much beta now..in my 'NORMAL mode'..now...WOOoo HOO...okie dokie dox!!!..yeah..i have a hsemate to move in wif and a tenant to take over my rm...hee..juz need an apt to move in soon(yaa..tat's the main thing)..haaa... however, i'm already satisfied tat things have come to this stage...haa...it has been dragged for a long time...*sianz*..pple ard me oso sian ...keep listening to the same prob again n again...hAha..

Bk to the talk today: The atmosphere was rather awkward ..haa...they looked guilty..and it was"dead air"...ok..it was nice of them to present me wif a box of rocher..as a 'token of their apology'... ..*but i still can't pretend that nothing has happened.....they were trying to make conversations and kept asking me whether i needed help or not etc...ehh...yaa...i really dun need help fr. them...unless they have a car and can drive..to help me to shift stuff...aiii...
And actually, i think it's good tat i din move in wif them too..cos maybe we wun live in harmony ..haa..not sure...good in a way la...things happened for a reason..maybe..

i heard fr. karen tat ceci has prob wif her boyfren n mum.. tat's y she was a bit out of tune during lunch...okie..dun noe y..i'm concerned abt her..cos i guessed i noe quite a lot abt her relationship wif her boyfren ...i may be the best person to understand/listen to her situation...haa...soft-hearted..arghhh...yepp..and i called her to ask how she was...aiyo..y am i like that ...although i'm unhappy wif her for quite a lot of stuff.. i dun keep it to heart after a period of time....aiyaa..she's still my fren la..

aiyaa...guess..evthing will be the same soon...not sure...

tired ZzzzZ..good nitez :>..dun noe what i've typed liao...zzZzz
