Friday, April 09, 2004 First of all, updated my links with a number of new entries. It's what happens when you meet people you haven't met for a very, very long time. One of the questions I ask nowadays is - does he/she have a blog? I find blogs very useful as a way of keeping in touch with people. I'm lazy to call and talk so passive means such as this are a welcome alternative. Went out with 4M today. Haven't seen them for more than a year. Such long separation makes me feel awkward to ask them out. Maybe they've forgotten me. And I have been busy lately, and making such an effort day-to-day to make sure my work is up to par. I have little energy left to organise, or sometimes even attend, outings. Strayed from the topic again, me. After such a long period of separation, I'm elated to discover that I'm not forgotten. In fact, little warming up was needed, we started acting like the old friends that we are. Seoul Garden, which I usually consider needlessly expensive, was money well spent today. As was the satisfying LAN session later. Though poor KH probably didn't enjoy it as much as the rest of us did, for Warcraft 3 wasn't familiar to him. Thanks KH, for gamely joining in the fun and never complaining. Next time we'll all play soccer or Smackdown instead. =) On another thread, my efforts at work seem to be paying off, according to my 2IC who kindly fed me what he's heard around the office. Not really kudos to my efforts, but because the party concerned has found a new scapegoat in B. He's still blissfully ignorant, because the muttering ain't loud enough yet, but I see how it's being done now. All the party concerned has to do is fail to inform B whenever we have work to do, and suddenly it seems like he's slacking. Admittedly B is partly at fault, he does not pay attention to what's happening in the office, being engrossed in his new Gameboy Advance. Just like I was engrossed in my books last time. The party concerned is not totally at fault, either. He merely expects people to be just like him. And he does automatically help others, even when help is not asked for. All I can do to stop the imminent explosion is to inform B whenever something's up. Hopefully I can defuse this time bomb before it blows up. On yet another thread, I've realised what a nice person my 2IC (not my platoon 2IC, who's still the slave driver, both of himself and of others, but my section 2IC) really is. He goes out of his way to take care of me, to teach me how to survive in the working world. Sometimes I do not listen to him, sometimes I let him down. But he does not blame me, is not angry at me for that. I am touched by his care. And, as with other close friends of mine, I'm saddened that I cannot do as much for him as he does for me. It is frustrating whenever I think of it, that I'm so weak and useless, that I need people to help me all the time. When will I grow up, when will I stand on my own two feet, when will I be a true friend to others, and not merely a parasite? For now, I resolve to show my 2IC more concern, and help him where I can. It's all my limited powers allow me to do. For now.
