[smalltalk]

nothing shows up your lack of social aptitude as much as chinese new year, what with all the inevitable visits by long-lost relatives you meet only once a year (if at all) and whom you wish would stay lost. thats a very pessimistic attitude, ill admit, that isnt reflective of my current state of mind. but its true that i dont quite get along well with.. hmm. many people, in fact.

this festive season, ive come to realise how bad my inability to make small talk actually is. theres only so many things you can talk about to feign interest, especially when theres no common ground. not even NS, theres only so much griping you can do, and it works only on males in the same age group. put it this way: how many people do you know who spend their visits fiddling with their mobile phone? in any case, ive finally completed prince of persia - far less levels than i had expected, but satisfying nonetheless, splinter cell extended ops (like the first one, only with more bells and whistles), prince of persia 2 (not a worthy successor), mini golf champ, and so on and so forth. my gprs data usage this month will be over the roof!

okay its time to admit i cant think of anything else to blog. honestly, this is more of a maintainence post, a monthly 'keep this site alive' kinda thing. i dont know how i found the time to blog this, and i certainly dont know how ill manage in the super busy months of feb and (most of) mar.

well, have a cheery year of the monkey ahead..
