Spent most of today cleaning my sister's house. Washed all the dishes, bleached the kettle back to white, scrubbed the bathroom sink, toilet and bathtub. Geez, how did they live before?! I'm messy, not dirty. They're absolutely filthy!! I chucked out the gloves, scrub and towel afterwards *shudder*
Jay cooked some nice stuff for me, Cathe came home and we stuffed around for a few hours and Meng came over. He came to usher us out to dinner but it was an hour or so before we left because no one wanted to move and they still hadn't decided where to eat. But in the end we went to this really nice restaurant and had some really really nice noodles.
Now I remember why Meng pisses me off sometimes. He's really fun when he is... He has really strong views and are not afraid to express them.
Everyone knows that other people think differently from them, but in situations, you don't really understand it - you assume people understand the way you think. It doesn't matter how long people have known you for, people change, and sometimes the other person doesn't catch on that, or they were just oblivious from the beginning. I see that now - I reckon Taiwan really changed how I look on things, I can step back and look at the big picture now. I look back on how I was an realise what a shallow person I was. Not that I'm totally not now, but I know it now. I try to explain that to other people, but I guess the don't see what I see yet. One day it perhaps it will come to them and they will realise their pettiness.
Meng is very insistent on getting his views across, not that it's a bad thing, I agree on some of his views as well, but he just doesn't realise other people's limits. But I also reckon saying to to my sister is a bad thing. My sister is really proud and stubborn, so even if you're right, she won't back down, she'll just joke it off sarcastically, and with Meng, he'll keep on explaining, then they'll both get pissed. Haven't had an argument for quite some time so I got sorta tired trying to shut Meng up, and stop my sister from firing him up again.
Minh can be pretty mean when he's tired. Geez peoples, I know you're tired and annoyed and in a bad mood, but don't take it out on me. Ok fine, I know I'm the perfect one to complain to, but if what I'm saying isn't helping, don't yell at me!! I've already tried to help, sorry if you don't take it. If I make you feel worse when you're down, don't talk to me! I'm not a freakin' mind-reader!! I don't mind people coming to me when they have issues, just want someone to talk to coz they're feeling down, want an answer to something etc, but don't expect me to actually KNOW. I try, but sometimes what I say isn't what you want to hear and you get angry again. Ah bleh... grr....
After dinner, Meng and Jay and Cathe had another fight because Meng wanted to go to K but the other 2 didn't. In the end we didn't go anywhere.
At home I pissed off Chris by telling him how I was giving Meng a massage and Jay was typing all this extra suss stuff. But I paid for my short amusement by the phone bill of having to call him and make sure he wasn't angry. Jay and Meng had a short and noisy belt fight hehehe. Ah well, it's 2:30am now so I think I should sleep.
