Met up with Huey at Vivo just now. I was looking forward to it all day and my dear friend just cheered me right up. (Sometimes I wish I had more people like that… especially if he’s going to be my crush. I guess sometimes the person you like may not necessarily be the one who makes you happy.)
On my bus ride home, I figured out the things made me out of sorts this week:
1) Getting lousy advice from the IT customer service rep at work when I was stressed out already and didn’t need the condescending bullshit when the fellow rejected my service request. Waste of my time.
2) Filling in a role I doubted that I was suitable for at work.
3) Losing my glasses last Sunday.
4) Getting to Kit Runners at 8.30pm when the damn place closed at 10pm (well within the time set to leave). And paying for cab fare.
5) Expecting to stop at Lau Pa Sat on the return ride back because I was dying. Then getting scared in my sleep-deprived state while crossing the road near Raffles Place MRT. Passive-aggressively cycling slowly. Ending up whining and holding up the others even though I really would have just taken a taxi after I slept it off awhile at the bus stop.

But if I was to talk about what made me out of sorts, there were some things that made it not so bad:
1) Olive Tree was a nice buffet. I hadn’t had such a nice one in awhile. Being at my company event was also good. Gave me quite an adrenaline rush, especially towards the end.
2) Seeing the view from Jurong Hill and feeling the night breeze.
3) Seeing Huey earlier. She asked me about the movie I watched yesterday night and listened even though I said I’m not good at telling stories. (And I’m really not.) It felt significant because it was the first time this week that someone was kind enough to prompt and listen to me talk — whether about movie or anything else. And after that on the MRT I told her about point 5 up there. That was what motivated me to write this post.

I think I feel much better and better able to face the week ahead. So glad for the Huey that exists in this world. <3
