Having 4 hours of sleep after 3 rounds of 3 legged mahjong is no laughing matter.
Especially when you are coming of age, cough, like yours truly.
I felt a little feverish and I stoned on the bed for the longest time before I dragged myself out.
I had wanted to bail out of the job casting.. but then I managed to pop in the contact lenses before I made my way out to Ang Mo Kio. By train, no less.
Thankfully an empty train guaranteed my safe arrival without any fainting spell.
Then, I saw the first sign of drip drops.
That part of Singapore very the far.
And then the rain was so heavy when I was making my way there, and the wind was truly chilly. I instinctively lowered my head and pulled the jacket tighter together. I am glad I brought my jacket along just before heading out.
It was cold, and I couldn’t wait to get there sooner.
And then, I was late(not my fault
boohoo) and it was a wasted trip. I was dripping wet, cold, and uncomfortable in my soaked undies and jeans.
I headed for Hougang Point for lunch. It was such a foreign place. Whilst waiting for the rain to subside, I had lunch at KFC, bought bubble tea, and lugged back Minibean’s rocking walker/ride.. whatever you call it.
Gee, and there’s this cool remote control car for her to sit in so I could ‘drive’ her around. Damn cool can? Pink! It can be a manual/auto car. How freaking cool is that?
Alas, the space at home is incredibly small, and with my skills, I would probably crash her into the wall.
I hopped on the cab just as the rain was getting heavier.. and it was a long ride home.
I am just glad to be home. So cosy. A warm shower to rid the chills, and just to rest off the feverish feeling.
The sky was so dark. It was pretty.

Baby was sent back to JB last night and her fever finally subsided before I sent her back. Though it made me sob badly when she finally went back.
She puked all over the bed when I fed her medication and her crankiness made me feel rather helpless.
I am just physically and mentally drained.
I forced myself to head out. I waited for the girls for more than half hour before I felt the sudden dread. I just wanted to run home and hide.
JD’s new place is nice and very neat now. Heh. It has a nice balcony where we could play mahjong next to.
It is a cosy nice little place, and I think I should go furniture shopping soon.
I have been spending an obscene amount of money this month(it is a law of relativity), but all’s well worth it.
I should resolute to go collect my laptop on Friday after my job, and lug home the printer too.
I am tired.. And I think I should read.
My computer, though new, is giving me a lot of migration problems, and a lot of old programs can’t be used here. Sigh.
Okay, shall continue to sort it out before I take a break from the hectic week. It feels as if I have not enough me-time for a long while.
And it is just a blessing in disguise that I didn’t get the job today. However wasted the trip it was.
