Life

This week has been rather hectic. Some idiot waited till my uni started to blow up the bokkuwa in Kattiya junction, turning the previously super high speed 138 bus route into a messy bumper-to-bumper situ just before Nugegoda. Oh joy. Gone are the days when 45 minutes and two dozen bucks could get you from here to Town Hall. sigh!

The result has been the Father and I having to use alternate routes to get to Uni. Hence passing through Nawala. Hence thinking that I spotted a certain blogger. Hence putting up a status update on Facebook regarding that. Hence leading to a friend of mine asking me what my URL is. #anonymityfail

And like Y said today, I'm not my usual upbeat self. I don't know why, but I guess apathy happens. You start listening to the same old songs waiting for a person who only exists in your dreams to sprout out of the ground. You start disliking people, but they throw one smile at you and you go all wonky. You tell yourself that you don't care about what others say, but flip out when they throw a passing remark about the way you're dressed. You force-feed yourself for a month in the hope of being less epically underweight, only to find that you're just a kilogram heavier. You get into the same bus as that girl whom you used to like a bit, and realise that just two days ago she didn't get into that same bus because you were inside it. *facepalm*

I know this isn't the most appropriate song for the occasion, but to hell with that. Imagine that asking for rain is the main point of the whole song and enjoy! ;)

  2. Awwwww *hug* sometimes life sucks no? Chin up kiddo, it'll get better eventually. Apart from the gaining weight thing...I'm telling you now you're wasting your time :D

    Sounds like you need a project. Maybe a 365 or something? Anything really...something to get excited about :-).

    (And if you need someone to listen, you know what to do.)

  3. I am glad you are a cool dude. Rain can do wonders! May be you can carry that girl you used to like a little over puddle :) OR jump in the puddle when she passes it! ;)

  4. Kirigalpoththa - Yeah, it is. :( But I guess you can use some other alternate routes like Anderson Road or that road near the Zoo, yeah? :)

    Pseudo - Yep, sometimes it does. The lows make the highs worth working for, yeah? :) Haha, yeah maybe I am, but if it makes everyone else around me happy then I guess I'd have to go along with the 'eat more' plan. :)

    Well, this wouldn't surprise you (knowing what a nerd I am) but I'm pretty excited about the coursework and the projects that come along with that, surprisingly. :/ And as for anything to take my mind off work, I've got Civ 4 (need to find some more time to play it though.). :)

    Hehe, yeah I do. Thanks! :)

    Magerata - Rain does do wonders. Makes life that much more bearable to see raindrops all over the windows, and getting caught in the slight drizzle combined with the strong Kollupitiya sea breeze brings back memories of the good old days at school. :D Will definitely do the latter I guess. Haha! :D

    Thanks for the comments, guys! :)

  6. Amila - Well, my work outs are limited to stuff like washing the car or sweeping the garden, but I do find that even that helps relieve the stress. :)

    Dee - :D

  10. Poor you.. life sure is tough.. but I'm sure you're tougher. =D And ya, facebook can be fatal. -__- So I only use that space to put on seasonal greetings. ^__^

    About cheering up, how about chanting the mantra 'Cheer up Chavie!' about 108 times a day. I'm sure after a week or so you'd be cheered up for good. =D BTW that girl's funny for taking another bus just cuz you're there, did you try to stalk her? =P

    Lastly.. that's a nice song Chavie.. but I still prefer 'I can see clearly now' cause it's been raining cats and dogs over here. *sigh*

    Harumi - That's actually quite a good way of using it Harumi! :D Less drama then, eh? ;)

    Haha, will try that. Actually I'm feeling a lot better than I did when I wrote this down, so it's all good! :D Yeah, sure is funny. Nope, I didn't! :P She might've thought I was when I got into the same bus though. LOL! xD

    Haha, yeah I know what you mean about it raining a bit too much. Maybe you guys are catching up for the rains you missed earlier on. :)

    Sabby - True that. :D Thank You. :)

    Thanks for all the comments, guys! :D

  15. Hey Chavie.. Bad days are temporary.. :) I find that writing helps sometimes.. :) or making something.. :D Cheer up kiddo.

  16. To cheer you up, I am willing to take you birding in my local patch, and at the end of it, feed you as many meaty Rambutans as you can gorge. *No Take Away* :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Glad you are feeling better. Been wanting to comment on this for the past 3 days, but I can't seem to comment on your blog when I go through the site you gave me. But I can comment on other blogs. How come?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Book Baker - Yeah, writing does help. :) Thank you. :)

    Amila - :O Seriously? :O That'd be amazing, the birding alone! :D And I've been to one of those All you can eat Rambutan plantations, and I tend to eat very little! lol ;)

    Hoot - Thanks! :D Errrm, it might be a problem with my template, since it's a little old and the code might be outdated. I'll look into it ASAP. :)

    Thanks for the comments you guys! :)

  20. Ha ha, is it me who asked the url?
    No no, not fail, I have short term memory lapses. Meh! come over, everything will be okay!

    Cheers!

  21. Amila - Will do man. As long as I can bring the dude below you along! :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. I am afraid the Rambutan offer has now expired, as they are no more in my yard. However, you can still come with the said dude for some high-octane birding, and may be, some Scrabble.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Amila - Ah, I was afraid that might be the case. But I'm pretty sure the birding (and your subsequent thrashing of us at Scrabble) will more than make up for it! :D
