things that i can't stand

its the annual birthday celebration again which was planned a month in advance but with changes to the dates again and again in between. sometimes just feel that there wasn't much meaning in doing all these when it seems more like a formality than really wanting to celebrate your friend's birthday. don't really feel much enthusiasm during the gathering. it kind of feel awkward at certain points when everyone kept quiet not knowing what to say. is it because everyone is getting older and birthday celebrations are merely a time to update everyone of their latest happenings?

just becoz everyone's getting older and more getting married or are already married doesnt mean that everyone must be attached or are getting married. and when you are not attached or seeing someone, people will always ask if there's someone potential. when you reply no, then comes the "why", "are you being too choosy and taking your time to choose"... i really feel like replying since there's no one to choose, how to be choosy? all these questions are gettting really annoying sometimes.

after having dinner, ms j offered to give those of us staying near her area a lift. we were deliberating who will she drop off first when she said she will pass by one of our place and drop the other 2 of us at a nearby mrt. i was still thinking she would drop me off at my place since its just 2 streets away but probably she's not aware its so near although she could have asked if she wanted.

anyway halfway the journey, she told us that she would drop us off another mrt station instead and ask if we are taking train or bus. i told her i didnt have any direct bus at that mrt station she wanted to drop us but she said she wouldnt pass by the other station. I was thinking to myself, it was just a short distance away from her house, would it waste much of her fuel or time to give us a ride to the next station where both of us would have direct bus? in the end, we still had to take a train and change bus from where she dropped us off. how sincere she is in giving us a ride..... maybe i should be contended that she has shortened my train journey to half....
