depressing frens, depression ads, wish lists and whats not

hi, pretty swarmed with work lately - i can't imagine the fact, that i hardly get on this blog to write anything interesting these days. Plus, the fact, that i've been surrounded by super-duper mellon collics these days - gosh! it can be really depressing. Think i need to get out more, meet new people. Friends around me are getting way too depressing - either they complaint about their past, or, they complaint about their current jobless situations, either that, or their futures. Yes, we've got all the bases covered here. i know they need a listening ear, but, i guess, i've been done giving them all the ears. Hell, No - I don't blame them for wanting to tell me their problems, i'm glad that they are comfortable with me. but, well, its just that all these things do make things much more depressing then its already been. well, at least for me. guess, at the end of the day, i don't really mind it, but, i just need to say this out. Somehow, it makes me feel better, that, hey, i just joined the gang in complaining. ;)

did you manage to catch the random advertisments, where MOH (Ministry of Health's) promotes the "fight-depression" campaign ? Man! that alone can be really depressing.. . .. it takes the govt to promote it.. meaning, figures have been climbing at a pretty alarming rate, that's why the big-brother is resorting to mass media.

anyway, enough of this despressing crap thing. i'm sure i mention the word for more then 10 times. . too much in too short a write up. . .

Let's see.. what's not that durn depressing to talk about. Hmmm.. okie, since, christmas is around the corner, the time we start wishing for things, lets talk about wish lists. (",) Was driving home one nite, when saint and i started to talk about the things we'll like to have. We're talking about material stuff here, not "world-peace" and that sort of sh*t. Saint's list was pretty simple.. his just eyeing on an mp3 player to replace his current cool looking one - its a panasonic by the way.. the one that "starred" in the UOB-mini card advert.. ( notice that i've been watching a lot of tv these days) Ya - you think his crazy.. wait till he tells you about how crazy that gadget baby is. the other's a racer bike that costs 2k thereabouts. Okie. . if you ask me, i know saint's a little err.. extravagant - 2k for a bicycle ? But, i reckon he does take part in trialthalons quite a bit, that'll explain his need for a GOOD bike.

For me... well, i have nothing much to tell about my wish list now - and, after talking about Saint's, i'm kinda feeling bored about talking about my OWN wish list. Its strange, the sudden change in the mood of writing - i don't know think its a mood-swing, really. i reckon, i'm just a case of someone having a really short attention span. I can't seem to stick to one topic that i've started on.. Hmm.. but then again, most blogs i read do talk about different things in a single entry - i guess, for this, its the abruptness of it - you think so ? From depressing frens to fighting depression ads, to wish lists (actually, saint's specifically) to crazy mp3 players. Dog gone! I'm having problems in holding a decent, coherent journal..

But, anyway, talking abt that, i've got plenty of work to do still, but, i'm just bored of doing of it. i don't know. . . .been a litle stoic about things these days. Its pretty fun to be a zombified person once in awhile, at least, you wouldn't get accused for being all tensed up over matters. *pewwenn-flies-by* where did that thought come from ??? I wonder...

anyway, i'm a little tired too - stoic + tired = cranky.. that will explain the nature of this entry - it seems to be coming from an insane person.. :P did anyone of you watched Girl Interrupted ?

Will comment on that next time.. .. that is, if i'm in the mood to. ~kIn~
