I walked out into a very bright open today.

Which was, a nice surprise since the skies hadn’t been cleared for quite a while.

The cosy weather could explain the reason why I have been feeling the chills, and falling asleep much earlier these days, without any urge to even blog…

I can’t wait for my photoblog to be up, so I could leave all the talking to be done through pictures.

I am still frustrated with my limited capacity. Sometimes I wonder why do I get annoyed with myself this easily.

 

I went out for supper on Sunday night in the light drizzle.

I saw someone from the past, someone whom I never met before.

Yet the moment I set my eyes on her, I know for sure, who she is.

Isn’t it strange how answers you looked for in the past… will eventually surface, and then you realise, lots of things that mattered then, don’t really matter now.

And the realization hit me too, that what matters to me today, could well mean nothing to me tomorrow. And sometimes, I should learn to let go easier, however painful it is for me now, I will recover, someday.

Does it really matter?

I reached home, spent some short me-time, before dozing off to anticipate the new week.

A week I know no what was in store for me.

***

I need to shop.

I need to shop for Christmas pressie.

Tomorrow is the secret santa thingy and I haven’t got anything for the….. person I suey suey lucky lucky picked.

My colleague who sits next to me asked me if I had gotten a gift, and she joked, as we went down in the lift, “Who you picked shouldn’t be that hard right…? XXX is it?”

I pouted and gave a resigned look.

Another ang moh colleague in the lift overheard the conversation and burst out laughing, while shaking his head.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Monday was kickstarted with an unusual pace. By the time it was 4.30pm, I just packed and announced to my boss, “Okay, that’s enough for me for today. Going off.”

He laughed and bade me goodbye.

I was just glad I caught the train before it was flooded with the peak hour crowd. I needed the peace.

It was getting dark out there with the clouds shadowing.

I quickened my steps when I walked out of the MRT station.

It started raining just a step before I walked into the sheltered lobby. Talk about great timing.

The moment I got home, I did my liberating routine of stripping down to nothing, sashaying around the hall to pack some stuff, before I hopped into the showers to wash my hair.

I stepped out of showers feeling freshed, and left the house as dimly lit as it was(since it was raining slightly), and I felt a wave of compulsion washing over me.

So.

Dark washings go into the washing machine.

Glasses in the sink washed and scrubbed.

Shoes by the door put back into place.

Extra chair by the mahjong table went back to flank the dining table.

Out came the glass cleaner spray and I wiped 3 glass tables clean.

Clothes folded and packed into the middle room.

Stray plastic bags and boxes kept.

Magazines and newspaper to go into magazine rack after it was cleared of older magazines.

Toilet bowl scrubbed. I scrubbed it many times, but it doesn’t reach the places I want it to go. Bah. I need a new toilet brush.

I washed the floor, sink and even mopped the floor dry after my shower.

I cleared some stuff from my room.

Not ideal, still messy. But, I felt accomplished at the end of the evening as I sat down in the hall to watch television.

The Little Nonya show bored me to death. I tried to play the Xbox 360 but I didn’t quite manage to do so.

I switched on CSI: Miami.

I fell asleep halfway through.

I must be getting old.

It was a brand new day before I knew it.

***

Was pretty tired on a busy Tuesday.

Halfway trying to come up with something, I needed a break so much that I whipped out my camera and started snapping 2 pictures in the office.

And then I felt better and went back to work.

Am I weird or something?

***

Was pretty tired after work but was glad the day was survived.

Caught Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, and it reminded me of Before Sunrise, which itself is a compliment.

I don’t expect everyone to like it, but I did.

Headed home and caught In her shoes on Channel 5. It was good too.

I am becoming more and more boring as a person. Heh.

***

I was in the train today when I was trying to delete a music file.

I didn’t know how it happened, but I accidentally played it instead.

So there I was, standing there with music blasting out of my palm.

It was terribly embarrassing, and I was thinking coolly, “Well, they might just think it was an irritating ringtone” as I tried to fumble with the buttons to off it.

I couldn’t find the damn button, even after going in and out of applications.

Bah.

So in my utter state of panic(after the song was playing far too long..), I offed my phone.

I kept my head bowed throughout the train ride.

This Christmas is unusually quiet.

Though I have plans to bring Charissa to church on Christmas morning.

So.

Lotsa stuff happening to keep me busy till new year.

Like. Friday’s mahjong session.

Saturday’s I-will-try-to-convince-them-I-am-not-a-drinker night. And my long-time wish to check a particular place out.

And much more to happen in time to come.

Woohoo. Stay tuned.
