Sometimes it is bad when you have too much time to think because once you start thinking too much, you get disappointed with the whys and the what-ifs and the how-comes. So I am disappointed with someone but then again, this just means that I am thinking too much right ? Because I have absolutely no right to be disappointed ! Or do I ?

Current mood : Disappointed.

Yep, I have been thinking about something a lot. Bored at work.

But when you think of it more, do you think it is better not to have too many expectations so that you will not get disappointed or is it better to have expectations so that you feel happier because something might come true ?

What exactly is the optimal amount of expectation ?

Oh by the way, apparently will not be going to Singapore for my 6 weeks training any more. Instead it will be held here in KL due to some IMF Meeting in Singapore, taking up all the hotel space. Yuk.

Pros :
1. Can drive around as will have car and my parking is at the hotel where we are staying.
2. No need to do laundry by myself.
3. Know where I am, or where everything I need is.
4. Will have larger wardrobe to pick from as can go home to get change of clothes at night or over weekend.
5. Will not be afraid of forgetting to bring something as can get it easily.
6. Near office. Can check office email.
7. Near gym. Will not have to disrupt gym schedule.
8. Expenditure in ringgit - cheaper.
9. Able to explore KL properly as will be in KL every day and night.
10. Staying in a hotel for 6 weeks is the lifestyle I like.
11. Able to meet up with colleagues (who increasingly seem to be only friends around)
12. Weather is same as Singapore anyway, not like it snows there or anything.
13. Will not have to bother about messy stuff like visas, passports………

Cons:
1. No trip to Singapore, though not a big deal.
2. No allowance ? Hopefully got. Though it will be in ringgit.

So it seems that the pros outweigh the cons after all. Not too disappointed about this at all. Training will be from Sept 17 to Oct 27.

On another note, went to watch The Dorm yesterday. Went with some colleagues and generously sponsored by MrCoung, who also paid for lunch and dinner. He is a wonderful boss to work for I would think. It is a Thai movie, billed as a horror movie by the same director as Shutter. Although I did not think Shutter was very scary, The Dorm is very different. Warning : Spoiler Ahead. Basically, a lonely boy at a new boarding school finds a friend who turns out to be a spirit stuck in limbo. He helps the ghost out and makes new friends at school. End of story. Quite a nice story, and exactly the right type to make me go all Awww. It was quite funny as well though I figured out the ghost very early in the show. I believe that I am biased in saying this show is nice because one of the main themes is the friendship between the boy and the boy ghost. They were so lonely and alone until they had each other. One part that was quite touching was when they boy realized the reason that the ghost had to sit in the toilet every night was because he was sleeping in his old bed. Previously, all other boys who slept on that bed were always kicked out of bed, but because they were friends, the ghost did not want to do that. Yea, and since I can safely say that I have NEVER had such a close guy friend in my schooldays, as usual I am envious of that friendship. But those days have past of course, so all I can do is enjoy these movies. But go see it, not for the horror part, just for the feel good part. To think that the boy was willing to die to help the ghost. Sob so touching .... hehe.

And I wonder if religion should ever come between a relationship ? She’s Catholic. Though I should have figure it out much earlier, it only clicked in my mind last night.
