Hanging out with some friends during ANZAC day was something that I haven't truly done a long time. Just having lots of laughs, playing games and eating junk food all day. I can remember 3-4 years ago when this was pretty much happening every week but due to the course of lives being played out over the years, I'd be fortunate to have it once every two months. And yet, despite the fun that I still had, it still doesn't feel the same anymore. It's becoming harder and harder to have hangouts anymore for somewhat obvious reasons. Everything becomes so transient and, at the risk of sounding very self-centred, not feeling valued by people around anymore. My personal pursuits have been diminished and often feels very meaningless, like my current phase of finding the right mechanical keyboard. Time grows slow during the weekends and fast during the weekdays. Everything just feels so...bleh.

But I have to hope that something good will come my way and try and take on whatever opportunities that have been presented. I just have to. Because otherwise it's just too depressing. 

----------------------------------------------
At a conversation recently, I was asked whether I find couples boring. I thought it was such a strange question to ask. It sounds as though I am some kind of a thrill seeker, something that will grab my attention like a hyperactive dog or a cat trying to chase a red laser dot. All I want is just to be comfortable and in good company. The trouble I find with couples is that I'm never in both states at the same time, and sometimes, in neither. For the record, there are very few things that I find boring. Yes, not even cricket.

If there were such a thing as a biological clock for guys, I am definitely feeling it now. All thanks to that little hangout with some friends during ANZAC day. In the meaning time, it is worth while pondering the line that comes from the current Most Awesome Woman on the Intertubes, Jane:
It is better to be single for stupid reasons than to be married for stupid reasons.


Apologies for the interleaved Malay and English in the video above.
