Moany Me sanny @ 1:51 AM


As opposed to Gilderoy Lockheart's Magical Me. I'm sure many realise that I'm prone to moaning nonsensically, sometimes for no apparent reason at all. Is it due to environmental factors? Since Singaporeans like to complain so much. Hot weather, rising ezlink fares, rising movie ticket prices, etc, etc.

I really should change this habit of mine; instead of merely whining about my inconsequential problems, I should actually do something about it (Cue Britney Spears' "Do Something" - a Gwen Stefani cover?). Many also nailed it into me that wishful thinking won't bear a single teeny fruit. Henceforth I shall list down a small set of a list of things I should do:

1) Learn Japanese (go Cafesta) and Portuguese (textbook, music) everyday, no matter how abysmal. Probably one day I can be a language teacher. At least there's another career option for me.

2) Finish ironing all the stupid laundry.
I can't rely on others. Although sometimes you really have no choice but. For this at least I can manage it on my own.

3) Stop the complaining.
I shall just shut my mouth from now on. It's pointless complaining; it irritates people and you don't get any mileage out of it. Yes, I should just get a big rabbit soft toy and punch it, kick it, whatever, torture it a là Nene's mom in Crayon Shin-chan whenever I'm frustrated.

4) Do the mountain pile of housework. It's actually a great stress-reliever. Once it's done, at least.

5) Swim alone.
I like to swim alone in the pool with no one else, the feeling's very much like long car trips although it does not provide the space required for daydreaming. But I've got open wounds on my feet now (blisters) so I can't do this at the moment.

6) Work towards my migration plan
I'm a bit confused here because although I do want to move overseas (i.e. out of Singapore and maybe Jakarta), I'm sure I'll miss my parents and my home. And I need to be financially independent if I were to live without feeding off my dad's dosh. This actually cannot be done on my own accord, I have to consider lots of consequences etc etc. When it involves others, it becomes that much harder to do. *Cross hands* So...like Wakka said, "I kinda wanna know move, but then again I kinda don't wanna know move, ya?" I'm so capricious. Then again, I've a 3-yr working bond here. Shucks! Need to dig all those certs out. Blasted.

Ok, so I'll be up tonight to get through all the housework Edric, Niki and James are too lazy or rude to do. Feels like maid more than anything but better now than later. No more moaning after this, moany me.
