I Am Jack’s Total Lack of Motivation

Today my leave application got rejected. I had wanted to return home for the long holiday week but apparently if I wasn’t around, the office would be in peril. Yada-yada-ya. Of course it didn’t help that I applied last Monday because if the gods procrastinate making a decision until today, it still doesnt make a difference because I didn’t plan my time.

This latest crushing blow is a series of depressing events in my life the past week serves to remind me how much it sucks to be an adult. Why just last night, I spaced out on the sofa and watched 10 episodes of Bleach while not really watching it.

Did I tell you that my wife is now in the states? She won’t be back until late November. I miss her a lot. I miss the phone conversations we regularly have after work everyday. It feels like there’s a huge gaping void in my life.

That feeling, what is it called - the one you can only express in French?

I believe it’s called feeling ‘fucked’. Assuming that was the kind of french you were referring to.

i believe it’s “je ne sais quoi”.

cheer up, cowboy.. at least you KNOW precisely when you can see her again.

okay cowboy,it’s official. you’re in love and you’re moping. chins up man!

wait a minute… you can get Bleach in Singapore?
I’ve been trying to track it down fer ages.

Where’d ya get yours?

The French phrase you are looking for is:

Je dois commencer à jouer le Monde de Warcraft.

mb lol

I personally tot the phrase u r looking for wld be Voulez vous coucher avec moi ce soir ;P

Is the word you want, “ennui”? Much beloved of disenchanted Uni students, this one.

Doesnt the phrase “je ne sais quois” simply mean “something something”?

LIke, there’s a certain “vague something” to it.

I believe Johnny’s answer is more accurate. :)

the comments here can hardly be read leh! is it my browser or my eye?

c’est la vie?

le poo

btw, props for the fightclub reference. one of my favourite shows of all time.

thats good! fire still burning between the two of you ;)

oh ya….and if you watch Bleach…don’t miss out the ending song LIFE IS LIKE A BOAT….very nice :)

oops…first time commenting…forgot to key in name

no.13 is by me, bonsai :p

The french word you’re looking for is ka ni na chau chee bye.

Ennui gets my vote. Unless it’s something something.

Actually, I just realised that ‘ennui’ means ’sian’. Pretty handy when explaining the meaning of ’sian’ to non-SGeans.

I’m wiff mb on the Warcraft thing.

And the word is…… (jeng jeng jeng)….. ….. …….. ……… ……..

Ennui

Hope you feel better soon! But really, what I wanted to say is, squee you watch Bleach! I watch Bleach too!

PJ: You can get Bleach bittorrents from here. Prepare to be holed up at home for a long, long time!

It feels like merde. What is this merde?
