It’s been a while since i have been rejected.

Still, it does hurt, somewhat.

Last Thursday was our die-hard Bachelor’s birthday and both of us thought that his free champagne voucher was going to be a housepour brand.

Imagine, to our delight, that it turned out to be a MOET.

And a bloody good one in fact.

Happy birthday bro!

Honestly, i was somewhat disappointed.

Having read rave reviews of the food at Botak Jones, SK, Daniel and i headed down to their outlet at Bedok to sample the fare.

SK ordered the chilli dogs while Daniel tried the fish burger. I took the botak burger since the menu suggested it.

Wrong move.

The patties turned out dry and salty. If there was any consolation at all, the buns were tasty but no matter how tasty it was, it couldn’t mask the fact that the meat wasn’t well-marinated.

Daniel and SK had it better although i’m glad they helped me finish off my burger otherwise, it would have been a wasted S$11 double patty burger.

I won’t write them off just yet but they really need to either change the cook or the recipe.

Or the menu because it was sorely misrepresented to me.

Ironically, having two monitors does help! (Even though I superficially feel like a techie geekorette..)

Compared to three months ago, affairs at work and expectations are better managed now. There are times that I still fumble but I sense that they are a lot happier with my turnaround time. That being said, the attorneys are aware that I’m single (I can’t disguise the red eyes), hence the quicker response time and longer working hours.

Probably the most important issue at this moment is whether I should pursue my studies this year. This thought is not new and I have been deliberating it for a while now.

For the first time, money is no longer an issue but a choice and the only factor is time.

Feels kinda weird but empowering at the same time although if I do end up studying this year, I will probably have to keep both jobs to continue paying the rent and everything else.

Sigh.

Imagine being whacked in your sleep by your boyfriend, not once but four times to your detriment.

Heck, i even have a lovely bruise to show it.

The cause of it?

A bad dream.

And i thought having bite marks was worse.

I like this.

Now that it’s all said and done,
I can’t believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

There’s one thing that I really dislike about leave applications. They have this column or section (differs for each organization) that requires you to fill in the reason why you’re taking leave.

It makes applying for leave worse than applying for a job.

The last time I tried to apply leave to take my cat out for his annual jab, they disapproved it. I wonder what they would say to my request above.

All in good fun yeah?

Now that Old boy is on a long, self-imposed leave, we no longer have lunches together and he doesn’t really call me in the day except to ask me to buy dinner. Unlike in the past where he would wake up, give me a hug or walk me down to the tube when he’s not working, he doesn’t do that anymore, preferring to lay in bed longer.

I guess I got to get used to it because it’s April.

“I’ve been awake for a while now
you’ve got me feeling like a child now
cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place

It starts in my toes
and I crinkle my nose
whereever it goes I always know
you make me smile
please stay for a while now
just take your time
whereever you go”

Old boy, this is for you.
