At Long Last, an Update on My Meaningless Life

Reread my few blog entries and I realised how much my English has deteriorated. I haven't written anything in the English language since Dec 3, my SAT test. In fact, I think I hadn't even had a decent conversation in English in months. My life is a meaningless bore. I work long hours at a job that basically involves sitting around doing nothing until a customer comes and they come rarely. (It pains me to write this, where are all the sudden flashes of vocabulary that enable to piece together a coherent sentence, they are gone and I'm ranting.) I met two new friends on the job, they are both so different yet I think they are closer than I am to them. I shall confess on this blog I feel deeply apologetic about canceling on the last minute on them due to my paranoia. Oh never mind!
I did not go out with a certain someone twice in the past few months and that is something I regret. Just penning this down to etch it in my heart so I will never do it again.
I been reading a lot. My colleague asked me how many books I read in my life. I was mystified, after all my years of library trawling, I never thought about the number I actually read. It must be in the hundreds or even thousands. Just finished I, Robot by Issac Asimov. If you think it is anything like the movie, you are wrong. I love it, it forces me to think and reflect and that is rare of a book. Rule 1 of robots: They must not harm humans or by their inaction, cause a human to be harmed. Rule 2: They must obey humans, unless that is in violation of the first rule. Rule 3: They must seek to preserve themselves, unless that is in violation of Rule 1 and 2. Pretty comprehensive huh?
I been sighing regularly these days. Oh, how I hope I get something interesting to do!
