Nursing A Disappointment & A Much Needed Perspective

I very much want to hold a party at Eski Bar. I am willing to pay the price. Thus my plan was simply to not get anything from my parents and fook out from my own savings. However, during a casual undate to my mom today, I told her of my party plans and quoted a well "slightly lower" price to her. Obviously, my "slightly lower" price wasn't low enough. She went on to nag about how money is difficult to earn and even went to the extent of calling my sis (who so happens to provided the idea for Eski Bar) to look for a cheaper one for me.

The fact is that I already had 1/2 a mind to reject Eski Bar cuz the Point of Contact had lousy attitude, not bad but simply lousy. My theory is that Eski Bar is so cold that his movements slowed to a crawl. (Lame) Plus, I felt kinda cheated when they were only going to offer me 3 btls of house pours. The other 40% was pretty much made up when my mom started with her nags. Lastly, 10% comes from the people who can't turn up on 8 Jul.

Anyway, it isn't the brightest thing to do to argue with the sole sponsor of 50% of your future allowance, tentative SEP fees, and tentative hostel fees. Haha.. I'm sounding like Bree's son (from desperate housewives). Who's for drinks at Eski Bar on 7 Jul or 13 jul?

I realised that my recent small little rant about love has been quoted in some frens' blogs. In response, it isn't about you guys. Understand that love is what makes this world a better place. Understand that love exists in all forms - friendship, family etc. Understand that I will very much want to be in love with my "wonder woman". But also understand that love is not what makes the world go round. I don't see the need to be in love for the sake of being in love because ppl around you do. I think it will be the biggest bonus this world can ever offer to be in love with "wonder woman". Wahaha... I am sounding lame here. Like some little sicko who is in love with the idea of being in love with his "wonder woman".

Anyway, had a chat. Gave me my much needed perspective in life.

I am a simple person with a simple circle of priorities:

Primary Circle = Studies.

Secondary Circle = Anything else that's already in the list - friends, family, "healthy lifestyle"

Whatever that comes along (and is not in secondary circle) is bonus or to be worked on. lol

Time to move, kid.

quotes

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true." - Dr. Meredith Grey from Grey's Anatomy

'How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears-
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity-' - How happy is the little Stone by Emily Dickinson

'This is your last chance.

'Life is no straight and easy corridor along
which we must seek our way,
lost and confused, now and again
checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith,
a door will open for us,
not perhaps one that we ourselves
would ever have thought of,
but one that will ultimately
prove good for us.' - A.J.Cronin
