A look back at how I did in the dating and relationship department...

While I was in the train on my way home from the gym, I started thinking about how the year went.

I dunno why but I thought about how I did in the dating & relationship department. Maybe because some random guy who was a Pump newbie asked for my help to set up his bar and stuff.

Anyway, it was a so so year in the dating & relationship department.

The year didn't start very well in that area. There was HB Boy who vanished into thin air. Lol! I never got to find out what happened to him. After contacting him via Skype, iMessage, Viber, Whatsapp, Gmail, I figured he's gone. A part of me felt that we could've had a good thing together, but my good friends helped me realise it wasn't the truth.

Then there's JKT Boy. Asshat that I am, I broke his heart resulting in me getting unfriended and blocked on Facebook. We had a good thing while it lasted. Unknown to friends, I was seeing JKT Boy for three months. I only told MonRich about him when it was over. For awhile, JKT Boy and I kept in touch. We hung out, talked to each other, until we got into some sort of argument. He accused me of certain things, which I couldn't accept.

After some time, he took back the things he said and things went back to normal. Then, it was his turn to be the asshat. When I realised that I was unfriended and blocked, I also realised that I made the right decision to not get into anything serious. He is still a boy.

Lastly, there's CD Guy. After a few glasses of whiskey Coke, I was buzzed and got too close to CD Guy. That hohol was followed by a few times of going out and messaging. Then one morning, we got into a misunderstanding. Again, I was accused of being something. To break the convo, I said I'll just have lunch. When I returned from lunch, CD Guy delivered the "Let's just be friends" message.

Haha! Oh well... So that was that in the dating & relationship department. Hmm, I think I went out for dinner with two or three other people but nothing came out of it. It's okay, though.

When I returned from my Japan trip, I realised that I could actually be okay being on my own for now. The other part of me is yearning for permanency. I do want to settle down already whether it's with someone or by myself - I'm okay with either. I just want to have some semblance of permanence in my life.

Richie said I like to do that - to have a look back at the year that was. I told him I do it because it reminds me of things I should be grateful for, things I can improve on, things I want to change.

Change. That's the broad theme I want for my 2016.

Let's see how.

Bye, July... Hello, August...

I have not been posting, but I have a lot of things to post.

The past two weeks have been very busy and that's why I haven't had the time to post. Haha!

Uhm, it's the last day of July and I just couldn't bear to let August to come in without making a last post for July.

So today was also quite busy but also exciting. In the morning, I went to the office because I was meeting Bernard, Hui Chen and Jackie for lunch. After that, I headed back home to continue work.

The highlight of the afternoon was receiving a package that was supposed to arrive yesterday. Unfortunately, I was out yesterday so I asked that the package be delivered today. Yay!

In the evening, I went to the library to continue working on my museum paper. It's about 75% done. Tonight, I did good progress since I finally finished the section on Contemporary Art.

To cap the night, I had a random meetup with JKT Boy at Holland V. He's still the same guy. I'm still the same guy. I did miss him though. Haha!

Got home about twenty minutes ago. I'm going to crash after this. Tomorrow will be a super long day at the museum.

Buhbye, July...
