Stoic.
Finally blogging again. And just like all my previous posts, I shall rant about some random things first. Firstly, I went for supper with Alwyn and Kasster on Monday. Had roti prata at The Roti Prata House, and the prata there was damn nice. After we left, me and Alwyn were hungry for some sweet stuff, so we found ourselves at AMK McDonald's. Wanted to get sundaes, but the stupid machine was out of order, so we ended up ordering a Mango Smoothie at McCafe. And honestly, it was the WORST EVER mango drink I've ever had. Seriously, even the Fruit Tree Fresh Mango Juice you can get from any supermarket or minimart can own this shit any day. But if you're looking for a really nice mango drink, go for the Mango Coconut Milky Lure at Kim Gary Restaurant at Vivocity. Best mango drink ever.
And I watched Iron Man with Berne and Zi Chao on Tuesday. Nice movie overall, though the ending kind of makes you question what the whole fight was about. For those who have yet to catch the movie, please skip the rest of this paragraph. Anyway seriously, if just overloading that whatever machine could win the fight, I don't see why he had to take the trouble of flying up high into the sky in the first place. And anyway, this is damn weird but, it's amazing how the most memorable scene (to me, at least) was the boy on the ferris wheel giving that !@#$%^&* look and dropped his ice cream. I think that was the scene where the audience laughed the loudest.
And one more sad thing is, I missed Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day. Firstly, the nearest outlet is damn far from my house. Also, no one to go out with on that day. Enough said.
Okay so anyway, onto the topic of this post. Studies have shown that men generally have a shorter life expectancy compared to women because men are not as good at relieving stress as compared to women. As in, when women are stressed or feeling emotional, they are generally more open to revealing their thoughts and feelings to others, but men generally are less inclined to do so. I'm not posting on Wikipedia, so I don't have to bother putting reference for where I got this information. Besides, I can't remember.
Anyway, I suppose I fit into the category pretty well. Sometimes not because I don't want others to know how I'm feeling, but I suppose I lack the.. I don't know. But sometimes I just like to let myself be absorbed into my own thoughts. And honestly speaking, when friends tell me of their problems, I can understand how they feel, but I can't possibly say I feel as they do. Sympathy is always easier than empathy. And hence I expect the same of others. I believe others already have enough problems of their own, so it's not too nice to trouble them with my own. But there's somewhat of a paradox, because I do enjoy lending a listening ear to my friends' problems. The irony of it all.
Anyway, still waiting for a nice phone to be released, so I can update my blog with photos instead of just words. I've already set my eyes on a few potential models, but unfortunately Singapore is never the first to have phones arrive on our shores. Also, I'm waiting for the full number portability to be released in Singapore. 13 June, and I'll just see who can offer me a better deal. Singtel has good customer service, but if it continues to be as rigid as it is, I'll probably end up with Starhub. And M1 is definitely out of the question. Why? Think of it as McCafe's Mango Smoothie. ;)
