Annoyance and Apologising

Continuance from previous post, as I thought that I'll try to set a length limit to each of my post.
It was about the scene, and now it will be about what I feel, and a bit of the past.

I saw this in Facebook just now, something that I gave a thought like 10 minutes before, about apologising.

APOLOGISING
Does not always mean you are wrong and the other person is right.
It just means you value your relationship more than your ego.

Yes, I realised I've been apologising to him every time I made mistakes.
But guess what? Every time I'm mad with him he never said a single sorry and just acted normally until I don't know how things turned out and things "seemed" to be normal "somehow".
Well, I think he apologised before of miscommunication, but still, it was only once from God knows how many.
It may be cruel and sinful, but if people made mistakes to me and had not apologised yet, I can't seem to forget it, even when I acted normal.

I was quite offended where he just called me, talked normally, then suddenly wrote how annoyed he is with me via message. I would give him a "Talk to my hand" if I'm really mean.

And how he was so inconsistent in stating "how important a promise is" but it can be swayed easily by mood. Now look who should grow up?

It might be the second time I argued with him this year.
The first one was when he took so long just to answer my question of "Where will we go?"
I was working that time and told him how the weather is so good outside and I am considering to skip my culture lecture if we've got something much more interesting to do.
I got no answer, and just questions of "Decide to skip first, then we'll talk" stuff.
Hell he kept on asking me that question despite me asking things first.

And when I finished working and already decided to go to my lecture and sent message to confirm with my friend, he told me that he wanted to go to the beach.
I snapped of course, complaining about it and clearly wrote in a way that showed that I was annoyed.

Guess what? He acted like an adult and try to give me wisdom, in my point of view. I think that's his way to cover up his mistakes and try to make it cool with a "wow" factor.
But sorry, it won't work on me like that, it just snapped me again.

Sometimes I feel that I am the only one valuing the relationship, which I know it is a mistake.
But at least, I tried to think things through without being taken over by my ego. If I let my ego slipped, it would have been about May or July last year, when we had a big fight, that I decided to cut connection with him.

There were times as well when I though that it might be better to keep a distance with him.
But I thought through it again, and try to picture the good times against all those bad times, how I value these friendship.

Is it only me?
Is it a mistake?
Should I really keep a distance after all?

I don't know. Honestly, it comes in a really bad timing. I still have assignments, I'm still confused with my future, and I'm still struggling with my CV and cover letters.
I know I can't make a good decision without a cool head, I'll just leave it as it is for now.

The Spanish Gunman

Ah, I need to talk about yesterday's scoop!

I woke up from my quick nap at 8AM, then getting ready for Campus for revision.
I thought it would be more effective to study at campus in the last minute before the exam.
So I left home just before 10AM, making me arrive Flinders Street Station a little bit after ten.
My train is the 10:08 Pakenham train, I've got enough time to go to toilet first.
I realised that the train is already arrived on the platform, so I rushed a bit and find myself a good spot in the train.

10:10
There is some kind of announcement from Metro (the train provider) that the train has been delayed due to 'Police Operation' at Richmond Station.
"Ok....?" that's what I was thinking as soon as I heard the announcement.
I waited patiently while reading my tutorial questions and answers, occasionally sipping my teh kotak which I had prepared from home.

10:28
My 'teh kotak' was finished, I saw the time, and similar announcement has been repeated for several times now.
I saw some people are getting impatient, especially a young woman who kept on calling someone notifying the situation every time the announcement was broadcasted.
Then several people started to leave their seat, especially after seeing a Metro officer walking around the platform.
All of them are very curious about the situation and started asking the officer questions one-by-one.
My curiousity built up as I started to get impatient as well, so I decided to join in their conversation.
The officer said that Richmond station has been shut by the police, and he was not well-informed either regarding the situation. He explained that it can take as fast as 10 minutes if there were only minor case, but it might take hours in case of serious situations.

10:40
So I decided to leave Flinders Street Station, giving up o trains, I started to put my hope on trams.
Before I go to the tram stop, I bought a regular triple-shot soy latte from Coffeee HQ, I found out that this kind of coffee will help you stay fresh the whole day.

11:00
The tram arrived, I jumped in to tram number 3 to Malvern East, which will pass Caulfield Station, my destination.
This tram pass through Saint Kilda Road, Nepean Highway, Balaclava Road, Caulfield Park, then Caulfield Station.
It is quite a long journey, and while I was waiting in the tram, I tweeted a lot informing my friends about the situation.
We exchanged a lot of information there.
I'm quite lucky having this Blackberry, I was holding myself for 30 minutes before I can actually go to the toilet at Caulfield.

11.45
At last I reached Caulfield, I rushed to Caulfield plaza for a toilet stop.
Then went to Coles to buy a bottle of drinking water.
I went to Building K to study where I met a friend and we chatted a bit, I told him a little bit abour what's been happening in the city.
I was not quite informed as well at that time, but I decided to warn my friends via facebook, telling that there are 4 gunmen.
Not even 5 minutes passed and my friend replied to my status, then suddenly he posted an article, which I share ASAP hoping that people will be informed regarding the case.
Here's the link for the article:
http://www.smh.com.au/victoria/teen-gun-suspect-extremely-dangerous-police-20100621-ypz8.html
Well, the article has been updated since the first time I checked it.
And I also posted another link for a similar article form different source:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/1283382/Gunman-on-loose-in-Melbourne

He's still currently free roaming around Melbourne.
Police are still chasing after him and if there's any suspicions, residents are urged to contact crime stoppers.

Oh by they way, my warning status on facebook has been copied by some of my friends, haha.....

Anyway, that was the news of the day! :)
