Please Allow me to Disappear

This week has generally been a lousy one. Because I was so caught up in doing stuff for Chye, I neglected my work (and still am, but for rather more different reasons). As a result I gave a lousy, slip-shod and on the whole very confused presentation, my first for the sem (what a wonderful start) - so it can be imagined what kind of effect that had on my self-worth.

On the same day I lost my phone, partly because I was late for class and in such a rush, but mostly because I am a hopelessly careless person. It's not the phone I'm upset about, but really my stored messages and the pics that I'd taken -it's a Nokia 6610i, by no means the most coveted electronic device this side of town, but I suppose the FREE calls couldn't hurt (to the person who subscribes to the "finders keepers" maxim: the karma police will come and get you), especially if that person is a foreign student. And neither would getting a coupla extra bucks at the second-hand cell-phone shop down at Toa Payoh, either.

And this week, TWO incidents regarding the iffy, touchy topic of FRIENDSHIP. Once I was accused of unfairly siding with my friends. And today, I was informed that I hurt someone's feelings. And I had absolutely no idea. The fact that this took place in the realm which you, dear hypothetical reader, are now in must have something to do with it. -_-;

Then there's the issue of my hair - suffice to say that it was a tactical error to try and save money by getting it cut and dyed separately.
