"petals.c" - Version 1.3

Okay, here comes the geeky programmer in me...making her way out into the world!

I was speaking to my friend David...one of the many in this world...but this David is different. Unlike all the Davids of this world or in my life...this David is straight-forward with me, without being harsh...

This David is considerate...the type of friend you can rely on...the person who will be objective without putting you down.

On the phone with him, during my lunch break, he mentioned to me that i have changed.

I was asking him how sure is he? There was a 3 year period of not speaking to eachother because we all went in opposite directions...

He said, i've changed a lot in comparison to when i was in highschool.

When i finished highschool, I had made a conscious decision to change myself...especially since i was going to uni and that i was going to be around various people from all walks of life.

If we just compare my music taste...that, itself has transformed quite a lot...

I use to love rnb...especially ballads...i went through a phase of liking bubblegum pop...i use to be a raver (not that many would have guessed)...i use to hate anything alternate...but now, my taste in music is so diverse.

its not that i hate those different genres for a particular reason...it just didnt appeal to me before. i enjoy some of it now...depending on the artist or how the music affects me, etc...

Okay, lets just move right along...I am an ultra demanding person! I dont lie about it, i openly admit it. The reason why i openly admit it is because im actively trying to change it.

I think although i may not be the most patient person, i am much better at waiting a little bit longer than usual before i start to worry. For instance, i use to worry if someone who said they were going to pick me up at 8pm and didnt turn up until 8:10pm...i would have freaked out for those 10 minutes.

Now, i give the person 15 minutes extra...what i refer to as "traffic time".

I cant help that im prompt...so im usually on time...and if i happen to be late, i'll call or sms if i cant call the person so they wont have to worry while they wait.

He managed to be late and my patience wore thin! I gave him 20 minute to arrive...although he said he would meet me at 1-ish. For some reason he thinks 1-ish means that he can arrive any time after 1pm...so it was okay that he turned up at 1:45pm.

*i dont think so*

1:45pm is more like "1:30-ish + i got held up in traffic...im sorry".

Initially, he didnt apologise...until i threw a hissy-fit and debated with him the concept of time and being late...he wasnt just reasonably late due to traffic...he chose to leave home late, without calling to give me pre-warning!

See, to me...that is wrong, and no matter how petals Ver 1.3 has evolved...she still isnt going to tolerate such behaviour!

Physically, petals Ver 1.3 has changed a bundle too...

David pointed it out to me as well...initially he was afraid to tell me so...because he was worried that petals Ver 1.0 would have told him off and be offended by his remark. But then he realised that since he was talking to petals Ver 1.3 he relaxed and continued to tell it like it is! hehheee

As petals Ver 1.0, i could not run. I was afraid of running, because my asthma hampered my ability to do so and i was always concerned about asthma attacks. But when petals Ver 1.1 decided to increase her fitness level, i started to pursue the idea of conquering the run!

The years have passed and petals Ver 1.3 likes running (if you remember my declaration of undying love to the treadmill! ahahahaa)

I recall petals Ver 1.0 being an utterly selfish b*itch...and thats the honest truth...hehehe*embarassing to say*hehehe...i was...*hangs head in shame*...

David said that he feels that im a much more considerate person today...every day, to everyone...while previously, like in petals Ver 1.0, i would be nice and considerate, but only to people i chose.

In some ways, he is right...i was considerate only to whom i thought deserved it...the others could go jump as far as i was concerned. I think he just didnt know me too well back then to judge on this matter...because all of my friends would say that i was considerate to others...but then again, they are my friends and i would be considerate to them.

petals Ver 1.3 is just more considerate to others in the greater world and in some ways, she is trying to be considerate to the world. Sometimes, i think i should modify petals Ver 1.3 from being too considerate, because she is almost a door mat at the front of the house.

ahahahhahaa but then again, my temperament is still quite fiesty...im just learning to hold my tongue more. and think. and then speak!

petals Ver 1.3 is also more carefree. petals Ver 1.0 - 1.2 were quite serious versions of me. I mean, im still serious when it matters...and im silly most of the time, but i guess that intense look that i have is still there within all versions of petals...only the right people bring it out! ahahahah...and He has felt the look.

petals Ver 1.3 has missed E. Previously, E and L were the ones designing the next screw...but whilst E has been away, petals Ver 1.3 has been hatching her own...all playful, well, so she thinks! *LoL* Lets see if they amount to anything in the near future...like on the drinks nite when E returns from Europe..."Cherry the Kidney Slayer" is suppose to organise a big drink fest. Now, lets see how screwed everyone will be! muahauahauhauhua

yeah, its all fun and games!
;)

i'll update you in the future of the further developments of petals Ver 1.3 or there may be a Ver 1.4, who knows...
