Love is like waiting for a bus
I was clearing up my old yahoo emails when I stumble upon this 'spam' mail. Interesting but kind of true.
When the bus comes, you look at it and you say to yourself "eeee...so full...cannot sit down, I'll wait for the next one." So you let that bus go and wait for the second bus. Then the second bus comes, you look at it and you say, "eeee...this bus is so old...so shabby!" So you let that bus go and again, decide to wait for the next bus. After a while another bus comes, it's not crowded, not old but you say, "eeee... not air-conditioned ...better wait for the next one."
So again you let the bus go and decide to wait for the next bus since it wasn't the ideal bus.
Everyone wants their ideal bus but where to find so many?
As you were waiting, a nice bus pulls into the bus stop. Its not exactly the bus you wanted so you continues to look behind for a better bus to come along while checking out the bus that stopped. However the bus couldn't stay any longer at the bus stop and move off, thus left you looking for the next bus again.
Why not take a ride on the waiting bus? Who knows it might be the best bus you ever get.
Then the sky starts to get dark as it is getting late. You panic and jump immediately inside the next bus. It is not until much later that you found out that you had boarded the wrong bus! So you wasted your time and money waiting for what you wanted. Even if an air-conditioned bus comes, you can't ensure that the air-conditioned bus won't break down or whether or not the air-conditioner will be too cold for you. So people... wanting to get what you want is not wrong. But it wouldn't hurt to give other people a chance, right? If you find that the "bus" doesn't suit you, just press the red button and get off the bus (as simple as that).There are people who board the bus hastily and end up being 'trapped' in the bus.
Hey, who said life is fair??? The best thing to do is be observant and open while you scrutinize the bus. If it doesn't suit you, get off. But you must always have an extra something which you could use for the next bus that comes. But wait... I'm sure you've had this experience before. You saw a bus coming (the bus you want, of course), you flagged it but the driver acted as if he did not see you and zoomed past you! It just wasn't meant for you! The bottom line is, being loved is like waiting for a bus you want. Getting on the bus and appreciating the bus by giving it a chance depends totally on you. If you haven't made a choice, WALK! Walking is like being out of love. The good side of it is you can still choose any bus you want... the rest who couldn't afford another ride would just have to be content with the bus they rode on. One more thing.... sometimes it's better to choose a bus you are already familiar with rather than gamble with a bus that is unfamiliar to you. But then again, life wouldn't be complete without the risks involved. But there's one bus that I forgot to tell you about - the bus that you don't have to wait for. It will just stop on its own and will ask you to come inside and take a free ride for the rest of your life.
So, has your bus arrived yet?
For those at the bus stop, are you still waiting for the 'perfect' bus? Well, of course it would be nice to get on one but then again, does such buses exists in the first place? Can't decide to gamble on unfamiliar bus or take the one you are already familiar with? Good thing about the one you are familiar with is that at least you know where the bus is heading but risking on missing out the one you wanted.
For those on the bus, are you on the one that brings you to your desired destination? Yes, I congratulate you, you have found the ride of your life. No, press the red button and get off before reaching the point where getting off means jumping off the bus and landed yourself in the hospital bed.
Me? I am waiting for the cab... hahaha... just kidding especially when the cab fare went up again. Actually I am more of a MRT person. I take the train more than buses.
Nothing but lame excuses
Manage to have a little conversation with her yesterday and it just happened that she asked about movies and of course I was right in guessing she's going for yet another movie with him. However this time round she tries to put the blame on me for being busy.

12:36:42 PM
B: think i have only 1 friend meh? ;pSurely you got more than one friend but you just happens to love asking X out.
20/Dec/07
12:37:51 PM
Me: he seems to be yr regular movie buddy mah
20/Dec/07
12:38:02 PM
Me: but I got it right didnt i?
20/Dec/07
12:38:17 PM
B: u wer quite regular until u got bz wat
Regular? Even if its regular, it was me who initiated the movies.
2 Nov - game plan
9 Nov - maybe the Thai one
16 Nov - bee movie 23 Nov - enchanted
30 Nov - gave X a break cos she went to watch lust & caution with the gals
7 Dec - she not in town
13 Dec - 2 days in Paris
21 Dec - the warlords
Based on the above and he still not her movie buddy? Is one movie per week. How regular she wants to be considered a movie buddy? I don't see her having so much time for me back then where she claims that we watched movie regularly.
Since when I got busy? She NEVER EVEN ASKED so how she know I busy? Just some lame excuses to get herself out.

12:38:27 PM
B: cartoon one leh
20/Dec/07
12:38:28 PM
Me: ahem.. since when?
20/Dec/07
12:38:38 PM
B: fineNow she know her excuse of me being busy is lame and tried to get out by not talking about it?
20/Dec/07
12:38:41 PM

20/Dec/07
12:39:36 PM
Me: now school holiday :)
20/Dec/07
12:39:38 PM
B: see? i don't even get the chance to become a movie buddy...@haha
I just gave her a perfect exit. She wants to be my movie buddy? Did she even think what she saying before saying it? How can she be my movie buddy when she consistently asked X out without even cross her mind that I might be keen to watch the movie too? To me the last sentence is just a lame excuse to buy herself out.

12:40:07 PM
B: jump to more conclusions?
20/Dec/07
12:40:18 PM
Me: har?
20/Dec/07

Me: eerrr.. dont get what u mean.. brain still sleeping I guess
20/Dec/07
12:47:05 PM
B: yes can tell
20/Dec/07
12:47:06 PM
B: @lol
What conclusion I jumped into? That she and X are movie buddies? Since she know I am a movie freak why wasn't I the first she thought of when it comes to watching movie. Previously on 2 Days in Paris, she didn't ask me until she asked X. What this shows? Her preference is X over me.
20/Dec/07
12:47:30 PM
Me: what u mean by jumping to more conclusions?
20/Dec/07
12:47:56 PM
Me: you mean u jumping to conclusion that I am busy?? OnH36

12:50:43 PM
Me:hhmmm~Her best escape route, better than any dessert lizards escaping from prey. Simply ignore the question throw to her.
One thing I hate about was being accused of things. She like to watch movie with X, fine! Don't be so pretentious as in blaming ME for not making her a movie buddy. If she is keen to watch movie with me, I don't see why ANYONE who's keen yet didn't bother to ask.
Just dropped her as many friends would said. She owes yo nothing so no need to report to you who she went movie with. She is happily enjoying herself while you get miserable. I just can't stand her pretentious manners. Anyway, I stopped initiating chat or ask her out these days since she so not interested to go out with me. Slowly but surely, she will be just one of the 'hi' 'bye' friends I got.
Never make someone a priority if they don't even consider you as an option - Part 2
Seriously, I didn't know how one can be so pretentious. Continue from my previous blogs on about this gal that I fancy who end up going out for a few movies with my guy friend instead. It happens that she initiated a chat last night and below is our conversation.
I saw her MSN message which suggest she watched yet another show.
10:39:25 PM
Me: you very free to watch movies these days hor..
10:39:30 PM
B: i want to watch 2 Days in Paris... Heartbreak Kid
10:39:35 PM
Me: so fast leh.. I dont watch as many as u
10:39:38 PM
B: where got?She didn't know I knew she watch has been watching movies with X on weekly basis?
10:40:47 PM
Me: can ask u for movie reviews liao since u watch so fast..
10:42:35 PMB: not really very fast lah
10:42:51 PM
Me: one week one?
She didn't answer my last question and at this time X logs in to MSN and she stop conversation and gone silence on MSN.
11:08:06 PM
B: do u want to watch 2 days in Paris?
11:08:23 PM
B: watching tmr w XShe must have asked X to watch movie and X told her "he knows we have been watching movies, can ask him along?" I have been online for so long she didn't even bothered to ask. X online for awhile only and she has confirmed watching with him already. She sure makes time for him.
11:09:36 PM
Me: wwwooo.. heehee
11:10:42 PM
B: *blink why leh?
11:11:04 PM
Me: dont want to spoil yr date lah.. u guys enjoy :)
11:16:05 PM
B: Huh?
11:16:08 PM
B: wLost
11:18:26 PM
B: aiya...just a movie??
Still trying to act blur? And why the question mark for "just a movie" if she's trying to suggest that it's just a movie and nothing much then why a question mark instead of the usual "just a movie mah."
11:51:46 PM
Me: enjoy yr movie date and let me know if its worth watching ;)
11:52:15 PM
B: okie lor
11:52:24 PM
B: u can find out for yourself you know... ;p
11:52:34 PM
B: quick b4 i confirm the ticketsI remember she said before that I always so gan cheong to book movie tickets and now she is booking tickets once she confirms her date with X. This really shows how interested she is in going out with him.
11:52:50 PM
Me: mai lah.. he ask u out u ask me along..not nice hee~
11:52:57 PM
B: i asked one
11:53:06 PM
B: u both online mah
I don't see her asking me for the previous 4 times she went movies with X. I believe I was not offline then as those who knows me knows that I online for more than 8 hours a day when I am working. She sure don't convince me that she ask X and me just because we are online. I believe she has a much bigger contact list. Why not ask another guys (she more keen on guys than gals) online? This also confirmed X claim of her initiating for the previous movies.
11:53:41 PM
B: how? rb-tap
11:53:53 PM
Me: mai lah. u 2 go enjoy..I log off before she replies and I know she won't bothered to reply. I am not so dumb as to be her 'smoke screen' in her interest and date with X. Basically, she is just such a disappointment. Why so pretentious? Why only ask if I want to watch the movie AFTER she found out I knows about her dates with X and so eagerly books ticket for the movie with X.
A friend suggests that she is someone who like to cast a little spell on guys and keeps them in her disposal. When she feels that her charm is losing its power she will bait them a bit so as to continue keeping them there. She even suggest that I should put news out that I am interested in someone so as to attract her interest back. But knowing how I fair in her list of guys, I doubt she will even be bothered. I think ONLY thing she fear is that she won't get to know more guys through me IF she were to loss me.
Well, I have seen and hear enough to put an end to it. I am going to ignore her from now on. I would even encourage X to go after her since she already showing such obvious interest in X.
Didn't know it can be so heartless and cruel
Company DBA was asked to leave yesterday... immediately and right at the client's site. Yes, he did made some mistakes and his head was on the chopping block but I did not expect him to leave so suddenly and right at the client's site. I would expect him to be called back to office, asked to return pass and laptop before leaving and passing everything to us and just walk out. The boss sent email out asking us not to send him anything and ban him from coming to the client premises.
My company can be so heartless and cruel then again, What do you expect from a company where the CEO left after just 3 years (some suspect she was ASKED to leave)
