9 more days before the maid arrives which more or less equates to 12 days before my grandma can come home. finally i dont have to make the trip down to bukit batok almost every afternoon. i'm not sure how much better it would be with her back at home, but hey, at least she's home.
mum treated me to a meal at sistina yesterday. i ate till i nearly exploded. haha i think it must have cost a bomb. the steak i ordered cost 48 bucks i think! man! but she said it was to celebrate my graduation! oh well. i rarely get to eat good steak these days. always having to settle for the lousy cheap $5 ones at hawker centres which if u ask me, should be called a thin beef slice instead of a steak. oh and some of them dont even know the meaning of rare when told how well the 'steak' is to be done. but all in all it was a nice meal. full course for me, except i declined to drink coffee after everything because a) i was so stuffed i couldnt put anything donw my throat and b) i was so sleepy i wanted to go back and zzz.
went back and took a nap after that. decided to give myself a break from visiting my grandma because i had to meet terence and caleb for dinner at hougang mall. yes not only did i agree to the location, i actually suggested it. i just felt happy to be going out with them. haha! it's been really ages since i have done something like that. to meet up with a few close friends, to have a nice slow dinner, and chat with no time restrictions whatsoever. i think i must have been the happiest yesterday for a long long time.
caleb will be doing masters in 2 years, which means that he will be joining terence and i in nie as well. this just keeps getting better! haha! see everything works out well in the end. everything that we were once disappointed or depressed about has happened for a reason and now the outcome looks so much brighter than before.
i guess it's really easy to say that when you've already been through the hardship/pain. but really, i dont believe that it is impossible to learn or to wire oneself into turning a disappointment into a situation where we have something to look forward to. for every bad thing that happens, there will be something modestly good that we can gain out of it, if only we care to spend the effort in searching for it. and then by focusing on those positive energies instead, not only will we skip part of the path of depression, we also now have something new to look forward to.
anywayz, off to visit grandma earlier today so i can go for dinner later. cya!
