It's just cruel to have Chinese New Year and Valentine's on the same day, followed by Family Day right after.....that's two days in a row that I am doubly, triply reminded that I have no lover and no family here. THANKS.

My childhood friend who I haven't seen in over a year came to visit though, so it's been lovely.

She counts as a lover and family. And made up for the overdose of flakiness from various other people this weekend:

1) This flake of a guy who asked for my number barely remembered that I gave it to him, then invited me to a party, of which he never got back to me with details about

2) My flake of a best friend invited me over for a CNY dinner, then backed out when I told her I could make it, which is fair enough considering her brother is visiting, but it makes me wonder, why ask in the first place (WHY) if you're going to end up making me feel like an idiot?

3) My flake of a housemate took off without doing half of the dishes like we agreed, as well as leaving me with an empty fridge even though he promised to get groceries. His girlfriend wrote an apology and some excuse on a scrappy piece of paper. I wrote "Fuck You" over it, tore it up and binned it. What, I needed some kind of outlet.

I'm not as pissed off as I sound, don't worry. I splurged on so much good food, explored good parts of the city, and spent quality time with someone I love dearly. It's all good. Heck, I don't even mind that I'm alone in the house now.....god knows I need some off-time from a house of 5 people. It was all driving me a bit mad to be honest. C is convinced I'm going to murder them all one day. The boys, at least. I say, he should be glad I haven't already.
