On Life, Being Busy, and Moving On

It’s Monday night. I find myself sitting in a big table in Cazbar, drinking glasses of good red wine, listening to the good music (although there was one time I raised my eyebrows when they played Wham!’s Wake Me Up Before You Go Go – and was surprised that nobody protested, not even Jasper, the [...]

'Real' Friends

Note: this topic came up when one day Ecky and I were exchanging gossip about someone we both know, and one sentence from Ecky struck me: ‘Do you think she even has real friends?’ I then tried to remember all the occasions she turned up, and realized that she was never with friends, always with [...]

Sloppy Second

A couple of weeks before end year, this girl told us that she’d have a new date: a guy who’s a friend of her friend, British, 37, banker, and lives in Singapore. The friend showed him her picture and he’s interested, asked to meet for a (blind) date in Jakarta in the following week. She [...]

Pure Thought: A Friend and A "Friend"

The title was taken from Ecky’s blog, but I’m not talking about her blog (you should read it yourself, it’s cool); I’m gonna try to explain what I have been feeling lately. The rumour that I was about to move to another company started about a month ago, after I submitted my resignation letter. Since [...]

Six degrees of Separation: the theory that anyone on earth can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances with no more than five intermediaries. If you click on search engines like Google or Yahoo!, you would find many websites discussing about this theory, which, to myself, is proven [...]

Overdue 'We'jaculation

Yap yap, the term is taken from, where else!, The Between Boyfriends Book. I find the book constantly amuses me with its witty, cheeky, sensational terms. Originally it is called Premature ‘We’jaculation: “A common dating dysfunction occurring when one member of a couple starts using the ‘we’ before the other is ready.” But actually, this [...]

I'm Too Busy For You

Last week I went back home. When I say home, it means where my parents live; since to me home is a vague concept (is home where you’ve spent most of your time in your life? is it where you were born? is it where your parents originally come from? is it where you like [...]

ADD

ADD- Attention Deficit Disorder: when you friend interrups all conversations, steering the talk back to themselves, since they must be the center of attention at all times I took this term from Between Boyfriends,  which originally is ADDD (attention deficit dating disorder), but I find it so similar to my present situation, so I change [...]

Dear Liar

Dear Liar, Why do you think you can getaway easily? Why do you think others won’t remember what you have said and done? Why do you think others won’t pick up pieces and have them glued back together into a complete picture? I have no idea. Dear Liar, Are you able to have a sound [...]

To Make Friendship Works, You Have to Work It Out

There was something wrong between me and this girl. We have known each other for a year and between 5 of us, this girl is an enigma. My other girlfriends are easy, we have everything in common, we like and dislike the same thing, we have similar opinion about things in life, we have similar [...]
