MUSIC!
ok... lemme be clear arh... I'm not whining... Im bitching about something thats been bothering me for quite a long time...
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't the logic for buying presents as a group to get a more substantial present than what one person would otherwise be able to get?
If so, then why is it that sometimes the presents are quite insignificant? I mean in the sense that I probably would have been willing to buy the present as an individual anyway... And also in the sense that the present seems to be something that people onli get at the last minute....
Whatever happened to the thought that counts?
I was just out with a good fren of mine today. Was sorta talking to him about this. And lets just say that while walking around orchard, I "found" a t-shirt that was given to me as a birthday present. Let's just say the bitching starts from there.
The fact that I managed to find the bleddy thing just goes to show how little thought went into choosing the present.
Personally, the reason why I go to such extreme lengths to get a proper present for people is that I want them to have something unique to remember me by. Money, while it is an issue when buying, for me, sometimes gives way to pure thought and friendship, dare I say Love, for the recipient.
Will continue later have things to do and places to go....
Bitchy Mood

Almost 12 hours since I first started this post. I think one thing that I want to be clear about is the fact that I'm not trying to be ungrateful or anything lor. Its just that I feel that an amount of effort needs to go into getting a present and in this particular case, the only effort put in seems to be choosing the color. I like the present. Its just that I cannot appreciate the thought behind the giving of the present. To me it seems like whoever is giving this is just going through the motions.
Like, oh his Birthday come already, Shit! we need to get present, how arh? Dunno what he wants le. How arh? Get T-shirt lor
(Getting the one thing I have in abaundance, stroke of genius)
I think that it didn't occur to certain people that sometimes usefulness/practicality is very very over-rated. Most of the nicest presents I've recieved rarely have any use besides sitting around and looking pretty. I actually have a lot of opinions besides that, but I think that I don't want to launch personal attacks on anyone.
Last night, I recieved some gifts from my choir frens. I was really very touched with some of them. Just a simple card, and it makes my day.
That being said.... I'm really gonna miss choir! I love all you guys!
will add more later... must work now...
