Are you vicariously living through me in the hope that my accomplishments will validate your mediocre life and in some way compensate for all of the opportnunities you botched?

pretty sure all of you have some pet peeves and mine is punctuality.

got stood up pretty badly on sat, around 45 mins. it's not the worst, think my record waiting is about 1 hour. that time, if not for the reason another fren was waiting with me, i'm sure i would just stormed off.

not that i expect everyone to be punctual on the dot, i cant do that too, but being habitually late and being late ridiculously will just blow my fuse.

what's your grace waiting time? mine is 15 mins and you better get this into your head, 15 mins and nothing more. and anything above 30 mins just blow my fuse. you might/might not see the anger in me but still water runs deep...

there are times when i had a hard time suppressing the urge to bring forward the meeting time and i would go there "late". upon further thinking, what if that person actually came on time? he/she would have to wait for me and wouldn't i be the guilty party then? if i did bring forward the time, next time, that person would just push back the time and it would be back to square one.

there are a thousand and one excuses for being late...maybe more. no matter what, it just reflect badly on yourself.

during the comms skill module i took this year, the lecturer mentioned about emotional bank. each of us has an emotional back account with each of our fren, certain stuffs that you did would either deposit/withdraw emotional $ from the account.

one sure way of withdrawing from the account i had with you is to be late. the amount of time i waited would be EXPONENTIALLY proportional to the withdrawal amount. please dont let it get into the red...
