When It Rains, It Pours

The past few days have been really stressful. And this is the time when I feel that the saying 'when it rains, it pours' is very applicable to me. Here's my stress list:
1. Finding a housemate. Rent nowadays isn't cheap so it's difficult to find a person who's willing to occupy our common room. Moreover, a lot of people don't want to share the common bathroom with a guy. Of course, we won't give up Jeds. Hopefully we can find a housemate soon.
2. Sis-in-law breaks up with bro. This is the most stressful of all. I pity my bro. I pity my nephew and niece. I pity my sis-in-law though I feel that this is the smartest decision she has ever made. But, most of all, I pity my dad. He loves his grandchildren so much..they're the ones who is making him happy. Now, he feels that he's a failure...failure because he can't provide us with a happy family. (More of this issue in my next entries)
3. Found out that mister-married-guy brings home another girl. It happened not just once, twice, but thrice already. Oh well, I think he's consistently bringing home this girl. Unfortunately, we just caught him thrice. :) I pity her kids and her wife.
4. Tons of work. Actually, it's ok to have a lot of work to do. Besides, bihira lang naman mangyari sa akin yun dito hehehe. But what's disappointing is having irresponsible people as your teammates. Enough said.
5. Monday morning encounter with cab driver. This one is so petty, but it definitely added to my stress list. Of course, it's Monday. I should be starting the week right. But Mr.Cab driver went left instead of going straight (my usual route). It's disappointing because Alain and I even waited for 9:30 AM so that we can get rid of the SGD2 peak period surcharge. In the end, taxi fare was more than SGD3 than what we'd normally pay because of traffic jam and this route is longer than my usual route.
6. My bestfriend announced that he got his gf pregnant and he's marrying her this August. This came to me as a shock. The past weeks, he has been telling me that they are not ready to get married yet and he is no longer as happy as he was during the frist few months of their relationship. She's too immature and obviously they are not emotionally prepared. So, I was really surprised to hear this news. In any case, I know he's happy to be a dad. And I know he wants to get married too. I can't say I didn't see it coming 'coz he's asking me about engagement rings and he's asking me for symptoms of pregnancy (as if I'm an expert on this!). I'm hopeful that I can attend his wedding though..if not then the baptism of his child. Just wishing them the best...
7. Found out that my gf's planned wedding is...err...err..I don't know. I'm not sure if it's postponed or cancelled but I'd prefer the latter. :) I just feel she deserves someone better. His so called fiance doesn't even have concrete wedding plans. They suddenly stopped preparing and talking about wedding preps. One day, gf's fiance promised to go to hers apartment after work. She waited til 11:30 and found out that fiance went out with his officemates. When they met, she told him that she has been doing that to her often times. He answered, "That's the guy you're gonna marry'. Grrr....so confident and can I just say, ang kapal ng mukha! Instead, she said 'Hindi ka ba magchange for me?' He did not answer. If I were in her shoes, I would have answered 'That's the guy I would never marry. I wil never be a priority. Marry your friends!'
8. Network outage. Just when you are in the mood to work and finish your tasks, you lose connection! What a timing! On a lighter note, at least I can write in my blog. :)
