Random conversations on a train

Overheard on the MRT train today...

Dad : Your mom says that cos she's worried about you....
Shaggy-haired ignorant teen (aka SHIT) : that's the problem with you adult folks, you never understand the kid's point of view etc etc
Dad : silence...
Dad :
SHIT : So what would you do if i pontang and didn't turn up and my teachers kicked me out?
Dad : Well, i would try to find out why
SHIT : Damn my watch is broken...
Dad : You can get the strap replaced...
SHIT : You don't know what you're talking about, you can't lah. Anyway, i don't have the money to fix it...
Dad : That's why i always told you to save some money
SHIT : At most drink water, won't die lah! Watch only what. If no money drink lor!

At this point, i would have seriously turned around and started slapping some sense into whiny teen if i hadn't gotten off at my stop. I mean, god, can anyone sound more shallow? Maybe it's a sign that i'm getting old and all uncly (as L likes to say about some others) but i don't recall ever being that insipid or idiotic at age 15 or 16.

On the work front, things are moving along. I found out about my new job. Let's just say it's way more intimidating than i thought it would be. Managing so many staff, while managing so many important people, while still trying to see the larger economic picture.... will be interesting. But hey, where else would you get to lead such an important business unit at age 30 :) Wish i could talk more about it, but oh well.

Been kinda distracted as a result of many things at work, but i'm slowly starting to get my Canadian immigration application together. Now i just need my bank info, and H's criminal record from the FBI (strange-sounding, that), and we should be all set to apply. AND then I can finally start the damn clock ticking.
Only then will i really see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Going to attend my sister in law's wedding on the 22nd of July! Will be interesting meeting H's extended family for once. Interesting that we've been dating for almost 8 years and married for 2, and this is the first time i'm meeting the whole Jewish clan. It shall be a good learning experience ;)

Marathon update : up to 46km a week, with the longest run at 21km.

My aunt popped by with some yami yogurt. Very yummy.

ajantis is stuffing himself silly....
