You think you know somebody...
...but really, you don't.
Is it just human nature to want to endlessly compartmentalise and to label and define everything into neat little categories? Because what is known is safe. What is known is comforting. What we don't know and cannot predict is unsettling, dangerous even.
This latest tirade has been prompted by two interesting incidents that occured this morning, but wait, more on this later.
But later - sis and I are heading out to catch a movie. It'll be really good just having a sisters' outing; we haven't spent time together in a while (excepting London/Paris, where we just plain got sick of each other) and it'll be nice to just wear some tatty old stuff and present my unmade kuah-li face to the world.
And on a side note, while many crossed over into the new year watching fireworks, partying and getting drunk (preparing to open 2007 with the mother of all hang-overs) I celebrated New Year's by watching "The Fame List 2006" on British television. By myself. While my sister and cousin were snoring away, and god knows what my parents and brother were doing in their own rooms (not an invitation to speculate, by the way). Alone, bored, watching TV... is this the shape of things to come???
