Just another two strangers
There she was at her usual lunch seat, together with colleagues whom she had made fast friends with over the past 6 months, enjoying the food and even more so the company, laughing and chatting excitedly over plans for the near future.
Then, there he was, walking through the door, "intruding" her usual haunt, chatting with a fellow colleague, looking ... happy.
No flicker of recognition, let alone acknowledgment. It was as though he never knew her. As though she was invisible, or perhaps, just another stranger in the room.
If there was a "pretend not to recognise" contest, he would have won hands down.
There was once a time she would have tried to make things "right", "right" in the way she perceives it to be, which usually turned out wrong. She would have worried, fuss, brood and then fume. But not anymore, because, things are just much better this way and it really didn't matter anymore what he thought of her.
Just another two strangers in the room.
She has no regrets.

Tummy upset
I have a major tummy upset. Thinking of going to the doctor, show my pitiful face, big watery eyes and get a MC.
Tempting... tempting...
Lesson learned: Stuffing yourself full with food is never advisable.

*edit*
GUESS WHAT?!?!
I went to see a doctor afterall!
AND GUESS ANOTHER WHAT????
It's a Monday morning and I'm in the office. Which can only mean ...
I didn't get a MC.
I am rather disgruntled at the fact that this doctor charged me so much for medication that I will never finish and she was so laid back that I might as well have treated myself. No word of advice on what to eat and what not to eat. Minimal questions and maximum fees. I feel cheated. This is why I dislike going to doctors.
Even more depressing is, word have it that I can't claim for medical treatment because it's not a panel doctor. There goes 1/8 of my allowances.
Aihh... what a way to start my last week of internship.
Broke.

Esther turned bimbo?
I'm so addicted to gossip girls that it might actually rival my love for coffee!
Nhooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo....
What started off as a "i'm-so-bored-i need-to-watch-a-bimbo-series" has ended up in "i.need.to.get.home.NOW.to.watch.gossip girl".
Have I turn bimbotic? O_o
ps. Dan and Serena belong togetherrrrrr!!! <3> 
pps. I'm still at the begining of Season 2. I know they don't end up together later on in Season 2 and 3, but Dan and Serena belong togetherrrrrrr!!! <3>
Okay... I think there's something seriously wrong with me. But, Dan and Serena belong togetherrrrrr!!!! <3>

Happy Wednesday
Despite the rolling thunder and the black clouds, I am joyful.
The morning was spent with other fellow interns, whom I've neglected in a while, pasting stickers with amended wordings into small booklets. Had a good talk with the girls,about past events in life. It has been awhile since I am able to open up and talk about it so freely.
Can this be a sign that I am finally over the guilt and moving on? Probably. It feels wonderful and liberating.
Thank you Lord.
So today is indeed Happy Wednesday.
Thanks girls!
ps. My lecturer coming next Thursday for the customary visit before my internship ends. It's time to freak out.
