what's up?
you know the problem when you don't meet up for too long and your friend asks, 'so, what's up?', you are suddenly flabbergasted. your mind races back to try recollect when was the last time you met up, how long it has been and attempts to make a summary of all the things that has happened in between.
but what output do you spout? are you interested that i scratched my bum last week? or that i had a pimple two fridays ago? perhaps that i drove all the way to bangsar last weekend and indulged in a very satisfying banana leaf rice, eventhough i felt full and fat. how about how shitty the last holiday went? no, wait, you've heard of that one. i met you again at the party after that. damn! mind races forward a little.
ermmmm....i'm still doing yoga, but the instructor has left and i'm lost? no, that's boring.
my office workers are scheming against me........ nah, that's just an unproven theory of a warped mind.
my daughter won the taekwando bronze medal a month ago? that sounds like bragging.
i've started on the cold moon, another lincoln rhyme triller. uh huh. that's good.....sorry, i don't read them.
my kids are all in school and i'm trying to think of something productive to fill my time. zzzzzzzzzzz.....
the crazy idiot i had to deal with at work nearly drove me over the bend.....do i want to bring up all that angst again?
for a minute, your mind is a blank. you wonder what is news and what is routine. you wonder what is significant and what is rambling. you wonder what is new and what has been told.
i ended up with a pathetic '..........i won a car, have you heard?'
somehow, with friends that you don't meet often, the little details are lost in the transit of time. how many of my friends know those little details? those little details who shape who i am...... my days...... and my life.
come to think of it, sometimes even my family members can't claim knowledge of that.

you think too much before you speak, a simple oh I've been busy having a life would suffice. or you could tell her you met the sweetest man on the internet & you want her to meet him too so you give her my blog's address! *hiak hiak hiak hiak hiak*
Yalor, like wuching said. People ask a simple "what's up" and all they want to hear is a simple "not much" or a shrug. What lah you. You think people really want to hear what is up meh??
When people ask me what's up, especially from leng luis, i always say, "my brother!"
Bwahahahahaa!! I know you are bored, but I hope not "stiff" like me!
Oh, btw, can a women be bored "stiff"?
Just heard lenglui maybe entering politics for the coming election!
Kung hei fatt choy!!
Hung pao tao loy!!
For women I think you have to be careful about what you spill. Women in this life are competitive creatures. When you tell them of all your good fortune, they get insanely jealous and want what you have. So, you have to downplay it and throw in a few tragedies just so you can make them feel lucky.
No?
Of course, it could just be American women who do that.

dear annie: i believe this phenomenon is not unique only to american women. women worldwide seem to display this characteristic. throw in a few death, building destruction and flood, and they will be ecstatic, masked by hypocritical sympathy, of course.
