It turns out to be a nice Monday.

There are some rainy days that will make you feel utterly melancholic, yet there will be some that will make you feel all warm and fuzzy.

It is the latter for me today.

I lustily hastily attended my chiropractic session this morning, and checked out the multiple x-rays that showed what I already knew, before I was asked to lie down, and flipped over several times while he got on top of me and pressed his weight onto me.

He pushed my head down and I got all tense, and he had to constantly remind me to relax…

I let out a loud gasp of moan once when he pushed too hard when he was twisting my hips to the side.

I was afraid that I would fall off, but he was reassuring, telling me how he wouldn’t let me, before he supported my weight with his body weight, which kept me balanced as he pushed himself down on me further.

It wasn’t painful but I was wondering if I was gonna survive the ordeal, at all, without my spine broken in places I know not of.

And I was asked to exercise at home. Ahem.

Please believe me that I did not have my thoughts stray as I typed the above. There were people watching when he did all the nasty to me, and at the end of it, as I breathed hard and fast as I sat up, with my hair totally out of place, he looked at me, and smiled, “Are you still with us?”

“I ain’t so sure about that!”

The back compression forced the air out of my lungs and I was wondering if he was gonna break my spine cos it was as if he was doing some ribs-breaking CPR, albeit from the back.

I tsk-ed when I saw his notes on me, “General clumsyness.”

First thought which came to mind, “Wah lau, doctor don’t know how to spell clumsiness”

Of course, plus the fact that I am not clumsy!

***

I was told to walk around for 15 minutes after that and when I did that, I could feel some significant difference to the way I walked, though it probably means some places were feeling kinda strange as I was forced to use some of the long-forgotten, lazy muscles.

As I stood in the open, the big droplets of drizzle rang the alarm, before I scooted back to office for a long day ahead.

***

Today was the day I thought long and hard about my present role, and questioned my ability about it. I am not sure if it is the right job fit, but I ain’t going down without a fight.

My zero experience plus the fact that I get incredibly shy around people make the self-doubt sneaked in, though I would objectively say there are still some traits of mine that might work my way.

We shall see.

A colleague of mine linked me to the word, “hot”(I never say! He say one!), and I did a comedic shyshy laugh and replied, “OMG, that is so rare! You gonna make me cry!”

I was so close to making an Oscar-style speech for my Oscar moment.

He then walked into me after we celebrated a fellow colleague’s birthday, and I went, “Tsk! Wah, you purposely one right, cos I hot right?”

He gave me the most DUH look before mumbling to himself, “I should have never told you that…”

I giggled and said, “No lah, indulge me, I don’t get that often can!” I chirped like a little girl.

Of cos, that provided a lil comic relief for the day.

There wasn’t anyone when I finally left the office today, a colleague from another department ended up dancing tango with me as I was walking out, and he was walking in.

It lasted for a few seconds before we stopped and looked at each other, and burst out laughing at the brief silliness before we finally got past each other, and the door.

We had never spoken but it was a light-hearted way to end an unusually tense day.

***

I actually managed to sleep very well last night. I don’t usually sleep well on Sundays these days because of the anxiety of returning to work on a Monday and I would spend my awake AND sleeping moments thinking about the tasks I planned out to do.

So my quality of sleep had been horrendous.

I actually managed to relax myself well last night and woke up feeling alright, and the chiropractic session made me feel a whole lot more refreshed with a less achy back.

I finally got to wear heels, and it would be soon before I could return to the sea for a diving trip! Yay.

I had a good Sunday, with an utterly sinful dinner. Crabs, oat-meal prawns, sambal kangkong, and chocolate thereafter.

Watched Liverpool defeated Singapore by 5-0(which I once witnessed Newcastle did equal damage), while trying to complete some work, but of course the evil root of procrastination probably needs to be tamed. It would have been nice if I could wear my jersey with Owen’s name printed at the back and attend the match live.

I was telling someone how I used to have this affinity with Liverpool fans, and I tend to date boys who are Liverpool fans (perhaps looking at their ego bruise gave me some kind of SM high), and I should be at the stadium more than anywhere else last night.

I finished the first season to Lie to Me, and am now very attached to the characters, especially the lead whose looks remind me of my colleague. The mental chess game he plays is oh-so sexy. The lead, not my colleague, by the way.

It was a nice Sunday, which I felt like welcoming myself back with a big placard.

*Beams*

I felt kinda good and stayed in the office till late today, before strolling in the cool evening to Coffee Club to curb my craving with an Alfredo.

I wonder if people OD on chilli.

I had so much chilli from last night, till this noon(dousing my macoroni soup with chilli padi), and then in the evening finishing the chilli all too soon.

But it was great sitting in the open, watching the life seeping out of the office area as it got later.

The air was almost cold, and damp, with those sexy songs (Kissing a fool..) playing in the background, and I was just reading magazine in the quiet night, before I called it a day and got on a cab in the negligible drizzle.

There is just something about tonight… that makes me smile.

***

I got back and did my laundry, thinking of making use of the breeze tonight.

There is just something about tonight to make it a lil dreamy, a lil fuzzy.

And no, it isn’t my cute chiropractor lah.

While in office today, I was given an exclusive glimpse of the censored pictures from the Hanoi trip. I found myself muffling myself with my hand to my mouth throughout.

I was then warned not to ever upload it to my blog/facebook.

I think it would not only be my job at stake, I could even be silenced.

Let’s just say, those who missed out… are really missing out.

I really love this bunch of people, though I can’t say I am close to them, but they have taught me the most.. I am perhaps one of the youngest and certainly the most clueless, and yet I will always remember how awesome and capable this bunch of people are.

I am gonna snuggle under my duvet and do some reading right after hanging up the laundry.

And I might finally get down to posting up Hanoi’s pictures, and perhaps the pictures of joyous occasion over the weekend.

I am hoping yet another positive day tomorrow, though I know for the next 2 days I will probably be under plenty of scrutiny for my upcoming projects.

Well, that’s life. I shall take it as it comes.
