one day after

time: 4.30pm

I love lazy sunday afternoons..and im still lying around in my house-coat..completely nua-ed out. I guess thats the virtue of work, having the weekends totally devoted to yourself and nothing else.

Yesterday, while at JP, i saw a group of pple giving out 'free hugs' at the entrance. I stood there for a while, watching the smiles on the volunteer's faces as they tried to reach out to the public. Immediately I recalled the clip I saw on youtube back in year one...the free hugs campaign. Go search it if you are interested. After you see it, i think you will understand why the impulse to be involved in this movement. Everyone loves hug, and while its cheap to give them, how many are willing to accept them from complete strangers? Even children..the most innocent and giving, will hold back when approached. Is it cause we are Singaporeans? I hope not.

And it being vday, the streets were packed with girls in pretty dresses and nervous guys with flowers. I watched in amusement as a guy in a smart long sleeve shirt and pants walked at snail's speed under the scorching sun, clutching his present in one hand and repeatedly adjusting his shirt with the other.

For me, I shy away from the crowds. Its too much for me. Rather I had a quiet celebration that would second to none. Simply cause i had the most important person with me. :)

I doubt i will be back here for some time. The next few weekends are packed and im really looking forward to meeting everyone! :D



*oh yes...and to my "no 1 secret reader"...love you girl! hiding or not...i know you will always be around. :)

two months on

time: 17.35pm

And i guess i was wrong to think this blog was dead.

It has been two months since i last blogged. Oh dear..a pretty long time hasnt it. I seem to have lost the need for this personal space of mine. Actually there were tons of times when i wanted to simply sit down and blog, but the inertia is too great. After staring at the computer the whole day at work, the last thing you wan to do is do the same thing again when you get home! Then weekends are spend everywhere except near the computer.

Work has started and gone for a good one month, and i have to say that its all pretty fine. The sad weight lost in the beginning has been regained and the cold indifference of some have given way to smiles. I like my work place. While the nature of the work is pretty routine after a while, but i dun have much to complain about.

I feel weird saying this, but i dun feel much pain dragging my lazy ass out of bed anymore. I guess its the knowledge that waking up each morning means another day closer to the weekend! yes! Even if its a monday! I can finally understand the beauty of weekends and lazy sunday afternoons.

On a seperate note, its raining while the sun shines right now. The irony. The weather is probably as confused as i am right now. They say that honesty is the best policy. True, but sometimes your mind doesnt work in parallel to your heart. I just wished it didnt have to hurt so much.

and watever mess in me rite now, having an additional day to think it through certainly help. I wun be going to work tmr thanks to a eye infection. Its so itchy and painful at the same time, i feel like gorging it out in frustration.

If only it was so simple.
