Flip A Coin

Little Mishelle said it was unsatisfactory that I hadn't blogged in a week. For a number of reasons is this the case: I've been lazy, nothing much has been happening and what has happened has been pretty shit, to be honest.

My dad's sister passed away on Thursday night just a month after finding out she had stage four cancer. As some of you know, my dad has a really huge family (a lot of half brothers and sisters) but never really enjoyed a good childhood or family life. This was one of the few (half) sisters whom he was really close to so this was obviously very sad for him (and it's always sad to see family sad even though I didn't know my aunty extremely well. Nonetheless, she was a very sweet lady). We just drove him to the airport. It'll be the second time he'll have gone back to Malaysia/Singapore in a month; the last time was a couple of weeks ago when he first found out she had cancer.

Some health issues have been bothering me lately (well, in the last day and a half) and I feel like I'm on a downward spiral. This happens to me quite often. I know it'll pass because it always does. Regardless of whether I "get better" or not, I know that I have the mental strength to overcome it. This is all very vague and it's nothing serious but something I have to live with.

As for the good news... My brother just got home from Melbourne today (two trips to the airport today). His team won the national competition/conference they had gone for which means that he gets to compete in the "world cup" in Washington DC later this year. I am extremely jealous. Also, when he returned, he hadn't showered in 1.5 days and shit son, I could smell it.

In other news, things may or may not be happening on the romantic front. It's all very confusing and I'm very confused yet hopeful and anxious at the same time. It's silly though. I've thought things were about to happen in the past and then they didn't transpire so I just try to not get my hopes up (which is also why I haven't mentioned a name here yet) and let the chips fall where they may (a la She's The Man).
