Bored
Of late, I've been bored. In fact, this has been going on for some time. Things, events, and (some) people bore me. I've developed an apathy to most things, and my own apathy bores me. Even TV is beginning to bore me, ever since the couple of weeks when I was on online television overdose. (then again, it might be just be the fact that I watched so much that there's no more desperate housewives/lipstick jungle episodes available online).
I was just telling Yuan Xin that I find myself to be a most boring person. I'm not very into all the 'in' stuff that youthful and energetic people are supposedly into -1.Kbox: Only been there with friends on a few occasions, but I wouldn't even propose it because I don't enjoy it.
2.Clubbing: Totally past it.
3. Drinking with friends: Have not touched alcohol for two years and I no longer allow anyone to pressure me into drinking just because everyone my age does it, or because it's fun to get 'high' (what high, I see no high when I feel so tired after that)
3. Xbox, Wii, PlayStation: I don't understand video/computer games, Wii was one the one time I tried it, but not engaging enough, PlayStation? I've never seen a PS in my life and couldn't care less.
4. Reading girl-magazines - cleo, vogue, 8days and what nots: I'd browse them if they were around, but most of the time, I don't like them enough to be willing to pay up to $10. I would call them 'toilet-stuff' - i.e. Something I'd read because I'm bored in the loo, haha. No offence to fans of Cleo and the likes... I see nothing wrong in them, they're perfectly fine, but just not quite among my interests. If I want to check out fashion, I rather go out and go shopping to see the real stuff.
5. There's probably a whole long list more which I have yet to know about because I'm just not into them and therefore, do not keep myself updated.
So the things I do? Hang out with really good friends, watch funny movies, play piano,teach piano, listen to classical music and other interesting stuff (well, okay, I still listen to new stuff on Power 98 and all when I'm running, but somehow the new stuff just aren't impressive),read BusinessWeek when I receive my copy when I get home on the weekends, practice piano, gym, jog, watch some dramas... they're boring, simple, plain stuff which I probably can't strike a conversation about.
But I'm perfectly fine with doing them... because, they're just me. I'd probably bore myself by tring to un-bore myself and engage in Playstation and what nots. I guess there are a couple of things I should start doing again though... which never used to bore me, and shouldn't now...
Like reading. It's been ages since I sat down to read. So many books sitting on the shelf waiting for me, but it just doesn't happen. I remmeber the days when I loved to read... even when it was some bimbotic shopaholic-series-type books. It helped past time and it was something I could do anytime (yes, including toilet time!).
Somehow, as time passes, I got into this routine of spending my free time on the internet... surfing god knows what. i'm not even much of an internet surfer! When time could have been spent reading, or actually doing something more productive.
Oh well, here's a bored rant coz I'm kinda taking a break from work now - because I was bored.
