Depressing conditions

Its a beautiful monday morning, but it seems the rain was an indicator for falling stock prices in Singapore today. Even though the Dow Jones Index usually affects the opening prices of stocks in Singapore, the STI opened at -5 points despite the Dow's 30 point gain last friday, falling to -30 points around lunchtime.

Guess the rainy conditions are a reflection of my mood, and that of the financial climate in Singapore.

Disclaimers

So today I found out that the origin of the word Chauvinism comes from this French dude Chauvin who was fanatically devoted to Napoleon Bonaparte. From the original meaning, which is fanatical patriotism to a country/leader, today's definition is "an extreme and unreasoning partisanship on behalf of a group to which one belongs, especially when the partisanship includes malice and hatred towards a rival group". Or more commonly in male chauvinism, which is the belief that men are superior to women. 'MCP' is a tag to used to describe men who believe or display an attitude that women are inferior to men, speak to women as inferiors, or treat women negatively based solely upon their gender.

Guess I don't think of JD as a chauvinist anymore.

Janice. Hilarious

Home

Its nice being back in Singapore, but there's some things that I still need to get used to.

1. Somehow staying at home the whole day makes me feel shitfaced. unless its a sunday

2. I miss Pandora sooo much.

3. Lack of people to go out with. Currently my outings are limited to Dota with Imran, Zhafri and co, suppers with Fiona/JD/Weng. And maybe the occasional meetup with other friends

4. Truly having time alone. Having a place of my own

Time has passed but some things still hurt

I think most of you who know me well would know me as someone who deals with the hurt, puts it away, and hopefully looks back and smiles/laughs at how the past was different; that we have changed with time, that these are now fond memories that have changed us--for better or for worse, we have changed nonetheless.

I had a 4 hour chat earlier with a dear friend from the past, and we spent a good part of that time talking about the past, and how things have changed for us. A good other part of the time was spent debating stuff, mostly trivial with regard to ourselves, and we found out through these unstructured debates that we really have changed, and that somehow interaction with each other was still different from that which we have with other people.

I thought it would be ok to venture back into the past and laugh about it; we did, in fact, but the part that bugs me is that I never really had full closure about the whole thing, as I had earlier believed until the past got dredged up--my fault, I like reminiscing.

Do I still feel hurt? Nope. Do I wish I hadn't brought it up? Nope. Did it hurt? Yeah. Do I regret anything about the call? Nope.

Guess its just part of growing up, moving on, and taking things in stride.
