Queen's Birthday long weekend
On Monday I met up with the guys for lunch, which kinda turned into a dinner. I was supposed to pick them up at 3pm, but Thai was late, so that pushed everything back a bit.
I drove to Central and called him, and he said he woke up late so I waited a bit. It must've been a bit awkward for him because I was coughing a lot, and it was raining outside so we couldn't open the windows. At least he didn't say anything.
By now I had really lost my voice, so talking was a bit painful, though I felt like I had to keep him company at least until we got someone else in the car. I picked up Shuing next, and he was reluctant to get in my car because I was sick, which annoyed me a bit. We met G at the Bra, and we went into the Japanese restaurant first and had some entrees waiting for Malay.
I think this occasion really highlighted how different Shuing is to the rest of the group. He always seems to be so intense, and only wants to talk about serious topics. So when we were talking about G bringing a girl over for marriage, he was fully into it, but when Malay and Thai talked video games, he stayed silent.
After dinner we walked to Macca's for a coffee. Shuing started his usual 'generalisations' which normally leads to arguments. While on the topic of people doing stupid things on youtube, he managed to generalise it to the whole world doing stupid things. Malay challenged him and said that youtube was only a small portion of the world. Shuing looked dissatisfied with that answer, but I felt he didn't feel familiar enough with Malay to start an argument. He considered it, but stayed silent. If it was me, it would've been an argument.
Apparently when I went to the toilet, they were saying how I was taking things too slow with Victoria. Shuing and G told me this on Wechat after we parted. I drove Malay home first because he had to use the bathroom, and then I drove Thai home, and then Shuing. I was thinking I was lucky to be sick, because I knew then Shuing wouldn't stay in my car for a 90 minute chat outside his house. G drove his own car and went home.
While I do feel things are going a bit slow with Victoria, you can't say I haven't tried. I have asked her out several times, but I feel that for whatever reason, she wants to defer. Maybe it has to do with the exams coming up, or maybe she has personal problems. Who knows? But I've learnt (a bit) to be patient and not get (too) upset when things don't go my way.
