I met up with two of my lil cousins from nus for dinner yesterday. Considering that i'm a rather socially quiet, it was kind of wierd that they asked me to join them for dinner. Told ya my cousins are wierd. But they'll have to start somewhere, coz i usually warm up and become more chattable with people who are um... i can't think of any describing words or phrases... more chattable with people who i have become comfortable around with.



Generally the way to get me talking is neither plying me with alcohol nor commenting that i'm quiet and expect me to start firing away. I guess the more effective strategy, if you find a person quiet, is to talk to that person rather than ask him to talk to you.



I guess there are occassional exceptions, like karate kid, she doesn't take my words to heart, so i'm very comfortable about telling her crap and her responding crap. I guess bloggers are a loaded with crappy stuff :) There also people like yvonne who could do all the talking for me in a conversation :p I'm good at litsening, or pretending to be litsening if i don't understand anything of what is being said. Ah... the art of conversations...



Went to coffee bean after that. I ordered pure chocolate instead of any coffee based drink, again. I'm actually kind of fearful of losing sleep, told ya that ambulance trip has opened up new perspectives for me.



Some time during the coffee, it came to my attention that there was some kind of a secret that my cousin won't tell to me, for fear i would tell to her mom or something along these lines. Despite the underlying implication of the lack of trust in me, i never thought i tell on my cousins' secrets. Of course, i might mention in this blog, and my auntie... (thanks to the avid advertising of karate kid, my auntie now reads my blog) (no wonder i face some of the yada from me mom, but i am suspecting my brother is doing the telling rather than my auntie) (considering i only advertise my blog on friendster and both my auntie and brother is not on it, i'll say karate kid did a pretty good job on the advertisement) (now i also do get some yada from aunties about privacy/safety about personal particulars on the web) (despite this i hadn't really emailed the url of karate kid's blog to my aunties) (yes i'm vengeful) (but they could follow the links to her blog from this blog though...) (...) Um enough with the random thoughts, where was i?



Well, too much diverting thoughts, i'll just skip to my next topic. I did come across a rather misused word, "stoning". Apparently "stoning" was defined as not thinking about anything and staring blankly into the next world, ya know, like all the people going to work in the buses without mobile tv every morning. I call it reverie or something, stoning to me had always been throwing rocks or pebbles at someone.



Ok, so much for now. I've already taken 50 minutes to make this post.
