Singles Awareness Day

Yep, its another year, and a second Vile-overly-commercialized-overrated-Hallmark-Card Day has passed, otherwise known as Valentine's Day.

Feel especially bitter because of being forced to do last minute work on my much-hated Chinese for Communication assignment, which i have to present in exactly 4 hours from now. And to add generous helpings of salt to the wound, i was forced to "fly aeroplane" on some friends with whom i'd made a previous bachelor's gathering appointment to takei and yum char. The thing that really took the cake: the topic for discussion/persentation is: love novels. Chinese Love Novels. From Taiwan. Title of book: 3 A-Cup Women. Woo and yay. And i ain't no Mark Darcy either.

1) I don't understand shit about the crap in the book, poor as my chinese is already.

2) After much pain from trying to understand the explanations given by my experated group members, i conclude that the Taiwan perception of love and relationships is seriously outdated.

3) The only time i read romance novels was when i was too bored and had nothing else to read, and "borrowed" some of my sister's. It was not a good experience, to put it mildly. And this one is written in Chinese.

4) Been cracking my brain with a big dictionary since 10pm till now to decipher those enigmatic and frustrating symbols, otherwise known as Hua Wen Zi.

Furthermore, more bad luck graced me when i went to Amcorp after class with Woon in tow to buy ink for my printer to print my stupid assignment (Pagemaker, full color A4). The godforsaken parking token vanished right before my eyes as i was driving to pay the parking fees. A thorough search of my car did not reveal any clues to the whereabouts of the elusive chip, despite having fallen off my dashboard onto the floorboards. It must've put on the One Ring or something.
Thus, RM30 gone just like that. Greaaat.

I've an ominous premonition that this is definitely gonna be a piss poor year for me. Even fate has got it in for me. And Lady Luck has all but gone with the wind.

So forgive me if i'm not in the mood for Valentine's Day. And sorry to those people whom i didn't wish to. No energy to, no motivation to and certainly no mood to.

Current status as of 4:50AM - Numb. I am stoned due to lack of sleep, and mind numbing work of looking up the dictionary.

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware.....
