The Weekend

Thank God that this weekend has passed by quite peacefully. It's now 11:49 PM in Sydney, it's still raining, it's cold. As I was lying down on my bed last night, I thought, how fortunate and blessed am I, to be able to sleep in a warm and cosy little room while many are homeless.

Saturday
Woke up late as usual. Decided to get out of my room despite the cold and wet weather. Went to the City, and ended up in a new Japanese Restaurant for lunch, alone. Had a set lunch with Tuna and a poached egg, Salmon, miso and rice. Price: $16.80. Ok la, 'once in a while' I told myself.

Before I ended up in this Japanese place, I actually went to a Thai restaurant which was quite quiet despite it being quite a popular dining option. The first thing I asked was, 'do you have hot coffee here?', and because they only had those unfresh, bulk-produced 'thai iced coffee', I decided to dine elsewhere.

Anyway, the Japanese place didn't have coffee either. So, I got to go to Gloria Jeans for coffee after lunch. Sometimes I just couldn't understand why, sigh... Same thing with those Dim Sum places in Sydney, only have Chinese tea, no Milk Tea or Coffee.

After that, I walked around aimlessly for like 2 hours and at the same time waiting for my friend, MaxB to finish work. Haven't seen him for almost 2 months, because I didn't feel like telling too many about my stress and didn't know how to face people. Still, I didn't know how to tell him exactly about what i'm facing, so I gave him by blog url and let him read for himself.

We went for a movie, World War Z. It was actually quite nice, managed to shock me quite a number of times.

Sunday
Again, went to the city for lunch. It's was raining and cold but still it's better to stay in my room all the time.

Went to Daiso to get a few things. Everything there is $2.80. I think in Malaysia it's RM5? Got myself a foot reflexology board. It's a piece of plastic about the size of a 13'inch laptop with raised 'bubbles'. So you stand on it and enjoy the pain. I saw it in KK and Chris's place that night and thought it was interesting so I asked where they got it from. Some believe that if you experience pain at a certain spot, it means the associated body part is blocked.

Had church at night. It was good.

Going to see a counsellor tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get some help from them.

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi

Are you the ONE?

One thing being a gay and single is that, I tend to screen for prospective Bf, every single day, every single time a man, in the right age range walks past me. (Though the age range criteria has been relaxed most of the time) It wasn't this 'serious' in the past, my brain wasn't working like this... Now, it's getting a bit excessive sometimes. Stealing glances at random guys on the bus, in the park, around the neighbourhood, in the gym...And these glances are getting more and more 'advanced'. I know perfectly, where to scan, the legs, the butts, the triceps, the forearm, etc. I know the timing. I know where to sit on the bus so that I can have an easy access to the view. And most importantly, I acted as if I didn't care, with the cool face, acted as if I'm the least possible person to steal glances at random guys. Am I perverted? weird? desperate? Maybe it's the desperateness. With guys that I haven't met, I find myself having all the
