the New Year's arrived... and it feels just like another day. frustrating day... or so it seems. can i blame my pessimism on the leaky pipes belonging to my neighbours? it flooded my house since Saturday and FINALLY stopped today! only after I sent to their doorstep a lil flyer "requesting" the neighbours to do something about it. the management is just so useless... went there ad all the excuse they could give was they're collecting the entry sticker money!!! wat the **!?!? they should be called money collection office and not management office... *bah*

*sigh* i can't remember a moment in time where i felt happy ever since i got back from Perth. =( i don't know why everything about people here agitates me so much. i've only been gone for 4 short months. so why am i suddenly so annoyed at every inconsiderations that people's attitudes are like here... =( the driving, the cutting of lines, the hassles, the stares.... *arggggghhh*

sadly, this simple agitation has even affected my relationship with Gary. the poor bloke. if i were him, i'd be history by now. *sigh* but he gave me my late Christmas pressie today... or a "New Year" pressie he says, and it's this book about Ally McBeal the series. even has an interview section with David E. Kelly... really inspiring! i've read through half the book already... it's really inspired me to keep developing that series i've had in my mind since Aug last year... staring at the book made me realise again, how much Gary loves me... *sigh* all fuzzy now.... it's not the book. it's the thought and feelings that came with the book. he knew what i liked, loved and needed...

amidst frustrations, boiling tempers, screaming and crying bouts... after the rain, you'll know who's really there for you...
