Exhausted

I am exhausted. I think I'm pushing myself towards the max already.

Travelling around with the family made me think about stuff even more. It made me realise how 'important' I am.

Perhaps it's my point of view, and I really hope it's just me being biased and not being able to see from another perspective. I really hope this is not the case.

I noticed that my sisters are passive, they are not as 'smart' or 'thoughtful' or 'well-planned' as me. It made my worried.

Every day, while they are here, I will have to think about places to bring them to. I will have to make sure that while bringing them to those places, on our way there and while we are there, they will be able to hear 'important info' I tell them so that they don't miss anything, so that it will be worth their trip.

I will have to make sure they are following, that I am not walking too fast. I will have to think about places for us to dine. I will have to remind them to bring their bus tickets, to bring warm clothing out. I will have to make them tea at night when we get home so that they won't fall sick.

I can't wake up late coz I need to buy them breakfast or bring them out for breakfast. I have to wait for them to go to toilet before we go out and when we go out.

I feel like they are not moving. I feel like I have to drag them.

They are not telling me where they want to go. They are not walking fast enough. If we finish a place, they will just take their time, idling.

I feel like I am a teacher trying to cover all the syllabus while my students just don't give a fxxx.

I feel like I am the only adult bringing my kids around.

They simply can't survive without me. If I say go visit the places yourselves today coz I am sick, I think they won't be able to do it and their trip will be wasted.

I am feeling quite disappointed with my sisters. I am the middle child.

The elder one is willing to help but lack the 'ability'. Everyone in the family has a smartphone. But no one knows how to use Google Maps/GPS for navigation purposes. And didn't seem like they are interested to learn.

The younger one is annoying. As a uni student already, as I told her, you should have basic 'research' skills. Just try and look for answers yourself. Just google. And use your judgement to see which sources are the reliable ones.

Today at lunch I made the comment that if I die, will you two be able to take care of the parents?

If the parents are sick, do you know where to bring them, which doctor is the best, etc.

I am feeling stressed. And that's the reason why I feel so worried that something bad will happen to me and the family is just going to collapse.

Come on, I dun even see myself as a super smart guy! But they are so many things that I know better than them!

My stomach is still giving my trouble! I am not having high fever, at least I can't feel it. I feel tired, emo!

I wish I get a hug, a real one, and some comforting words.

I dun know how can we be so different!

    I read an article about siblings and it says that middle child is always the strongest and more independent compared to the eldest and the youngest.

    It is a good trait that you are more independent and able to lead people (in this case, your family members). You should feel proud of yourself that you can lead.

    Don't worry too much about what will happen in the future because we all don't know what will happen. So why think when there is no concrete answer? Change is constant and we cannot stop change. So instead of thinking what if this and what if that, why not just live the present, enjoy the moment and cherish every single day that you're still alive.

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
