Hola!
It's been a while since I posted anything substantial here at all. Truth is, I have nothing much to talk about really. That, coupled with the lack of gung ho to blog, results in the lack of posts of late.
So what's new? Nothing much, really. Life has been pretty much routine and boring and non-eventful.
Every weekday I wake up at 6am, shower, dress, get on bus 48/49 or bus 5, go to the bus station, get on x39, read the newspaper, catch a short nap, walk to the office, sit down at my workstation, turn on the computer, log on the phone, get a (free) drink, sit down to sift through emails and outstanding diary, get to work, blog-hop (in the few that I can actually access to in the office) and surf a bit while waiting for the other side to pick up the phone or when I was just damn bored, lunch which consists mostly of more surfing or aimless walking around town for some fresh air, get back to work, wait for the clock to signal the end of the day, pack my stuff, clear the table, walk to the bus station, get on bus x39, reach the bus station, play mobile games or read while waiitng for bus 342, get on the bus, reach home, change, cook or chill while someone cooks, eat dinner, rest for a bit, shower and sleep - then the next morning, the whole cycle begins again for another 4 days.
Weekends are not that much different. I either stay at home the whole day just resting and cooking or I go to town
occasionally for a breather.
I realize I've lamented the lack of excitement in life at least a couple of times already but really, this just goes to show how freaking boring and monotonic my life is.
Not that I'm complaining. Not really. I have a job which pays not much but affords me the independence and ability to take care of myself. I'm not dreading the CLP finals nor am I wringing myself with worry over the result of my BVC Final Assessment.
Instead, I go to work, do my job and I can switch off (literally) after 5pm and worry about the rest of the unfinished tasks the next day. So that's good... right? At least, I like to psyche myself to think this way.
Life is what we make of it, after all.
**************Actually, the sombre tone of the above does not match the freaking title. So I'll change the topic and talk about something less depressing.
Now, let's see... Oh, right! It was my freaking-very-much-dreaded birthday like two weeks ago!!! So exciting, right? Actually, no. It only means that I'm another year older. Another year nearer to the big 3-0 *eeekkkk*
But nonetheless, I've had a special day thanks to a very special someone who went out of his way to make it a memorable one for me and for that I am very grateful and touched. It would have been a sucky non-event (as always), had it not been him. Got lotsa little surprises and gifts from him =)
Mummy and Daddy made my heart melt especially, since they woke up earlier than usual just to wish me at the stroke of midnight UK time and they kept on pressing me to buy anything I want and charge them for it *touched* But the perils of working is that I am damn paiseh to want anything from them la so I RELUCTANTLY declined ='(
A special thanks also to all those who wished me via Facebook (esp from Viv who always say she cannot rmbr anyone's birthday at all), smses (all the way from Malaysia, even), calls (even from lil bro in US but I missed his call =p) and cards. Even my colleagues/team members at work chipped in some money to get me something (yes, I went to work on my freaking birthday).
So all in all, it was not bad. But the fact remains that I am now officially twenty-freaking-three!!! Damn old, ok? Recent conversations that attest to this:
Hey, can you imagine, now when we think back at the time when we were 18, we actually have to say 5 years ago!!! Can't imagine that it has been so long ago when we're still in our teens...
Well, it's better than saying 'Half a decade ago, we were 18'
!!!
Eh, can you imagine Jay Chou and Wang Lee Hom has been around for 10 years?
Not surprising what - they're been around since we were in high school.
But 10 years!!! Got so long meh?
Well, if we count back, 10 years ago we were 13 and in high school, so that's about right lo... Not like a few years back already when we can always count back and say we were in primary school or kindergarten...
Seriously, we
are that old!!! So sad!!! T^T
**************Okay, why am I talking about depressing things again? Think about more cheery stuff.
Hmmm...
Oh, I'm on bank holiday today - so no work!!! Woohoo!!!
If only UK has more public holiday... Siao gila, only three bank holidays, New Year, Christmas, Easter Monday and Good Friday are official public holidays -.-"
That's all for now, kinda lost track of my thoughts dee and ended up rambling like usual.
Anyways a big HELLO to everyone and I miss all of you!!! Sorry for the yet-to-materialise emails I've promised. Have been too tired and stressed this past months to actually get the mood to sit down and write to you all. But I will, promise!!! Until then, take care!!!
Muaxxx <3
