The Saga Continues

So a couple of friends who read my previous entry have requested an update on how the saga of the bizarre love triangle is developing. Prompted by this collective interest, I just had to go snooping around a bit more. And lo and behold, there are new developments!

Ms A posted on her blog today a series of intimate photos between her and AB. From the photos, it looks like AB is reciprocating.

AB also changed his Facebook status from being "In a Relationship with Ms C" to "It's Complicated".

There are no updates on Ms C's blog.

From the above observations, Ms A seems to be enjoying the upper hand now and getting her way with AB. I still maintain my stand that the scummiest of them all is AB who is obviously enjoying his position on the love pedestal. Knock him down, gals!

Bizarre love triangle

I spend an inordinate amount of time on the Internet. I check my emails and Facebook too often, research on my upcoming travels, and one other (shameful) thing that I do is spy on people via their blogs. These "people" refer to friends, celebrities and yes, strangers! Some of my friends would know that I've been following the blogs of 3 teenage girls who are best buddies. I don't know why I read their blogs really, maybe because they are young and gorgeous? Or maybe I am living vicariously through their partying and clubbing lives? Or maybe they personify what I would have liked to be but wasn't at that age - carefree, taking risks, falling in and out of love, having tattooed ah-beng/ah-lian friends, etc etc. Reading their blogs certainly make me feel like a Ms Goody-Two-Shoes.

So anyway, there is a mini saga going on with one of the gals now- let's call her Ms A. Ms A was seeing this ah-beng (AB) and recently they broke up and AB seemed to have moved on with a new gal Ms C. On her blog, Ms A professes her love for AB and proclaims that she will not give him up and they are working things out. Which is alright cause there are loads of pictures on her blog of her and AB and it sure looks like they are on the road to recovery. "Fans" of Ms A leave comments lambasting Ms C. Haters of Ms A call her a slut for being all touchy-feely with AB when he is already going out with Ms C, to which she responds that he is not going out with anyone.

My curiosity was piqued. Is AB two-timing Ms A and Ms C? Is Ms A in denial? So with my special investigative powers, I tracked down AB and Ms C on Facebook and her blog.

On AB's facebook, he is "in a relationship with Ms C".

On Ms C's blog, you will see plenty of pictures of him and Ms C. They look and sound like they're together and in love. Ms C likewise proclaims her love for AB and says she will not give him up. Though not explicit, she hints that she is not affected by what's going on.

Saucy, isn't it? I'm deducing that Ms A is in self-denial and clinging on to a lost love. And AB is shamelessly lapping up the attention from 2 very pretty girls. Though he is together with Ms C, he is not pushing away the advances from his ex, Ms A, possibly on the pretext that he still regards her as his friend. Which may be his justification to Ms C for still hanging out with Ms A. Only boys are capable of such bullshit, in my humble opinion.

I shall wait and see how this saga unfolds. Let's hope there are no casualties from this love triangle, though I doubt so!

2nd BKK trip this year

Bangkok is becoming my favourite place to visit on a recurring basis. Which is rather surprising in my case because I've always held the notion that it makes more sense to go someplace you've never been and experience something different, rather than visit the same place over and over again.

For me, the main draw that Bangkok holds has got to be the excellent Thai hospitality and reasonaly priced shopping, food and massages! It all makes perfect sense - go shopping till you're dead tired, treat yourself to some delicious Thai cuisine and an oil massage to ease out the tension and knots. Guaranteed to also make you sleep like a baby at night.

This time, I went with my old pals - the Vongs and Ms To. We were really lucky to be greeted by sunny, good weather the entire duration, as the weather forecast predicted showers and thunderstorms and there was a danger of the Chao Phraya river overflowing and causing floods in BKK. Thank goodness none of these happened while we were there.

Few pics this time...enjoy!

Choco bananas that look kinda grosse.

Nara restaurant @ 8 Thonglor. Love the decor and ambience.

Food however, was just average. The best dishes were the hors d'œuvre platter and crackling pork papaya salad.

1st day of freedom

Yesterday marked my last day with my firm xxx. It was a busy day for me, running to and fro saying my goodbyes and delivering farewell gifts. People asked if I felt happy, and the answer was an unequivocal yes! On reflection, the past 3.5 years at xxx have been filled with highs and lows, happys and sads, joy and gloom for me. There isn't a single particular reason as to why I'm leaving, but a combination of frustrations and discontentment at various issues that have bugged me over these years. I'm certainly glad to leave of all these behind, and take my well-deserved break!

First thing I did last night was to turn off that dreaded alarm clock. Woke up at 11am this morning feeling liberated, perky and looking forward to the day! Not that I had anything in particular to look forward to - my living room was strewn with bags and bags of my belongings from the office. So after a healthy brunch of oats and cheese (bad combination, btw), I set to clearing the mess to restore my living area to its former uncluttered state. I've just accomplished that and feeling really good about myself.

Maybe one day I'll feel bored with having no work to do, or fret about having no pay to spend... but for now, I will savour all the freedom and luxury of time I have, pitter-patter around my new home and eagerly count the days till my holidays come up! Bangkok, Seoul, Stockholm, Reykjavik, London & Paris over 2 months, woot!

Kind words from an old acquaintance

Bumped into the Malay uncle who used to be a security guard at my condo this morning at Raffles Place. We chatted briefly and his parting words to me were "you're fat" while gesticulating a fat stomach to prove his point. I did not see that coming at all.

Good start to the week. Bummer.
