Bored

At work, but my laptop is down and I can't connect to the internet. Going to buy lunch for a couple of kids who helped me host a group of students on very short notice.

Have I mentioned I'm bored? And sleepy. And hungry too. All I had was a glass of milk this morning. And a cup of coffee. (No wonder I'm hungry).

On a brighter note, 3 1/2 more days to the weekend! Whee!

Friendship First

The grasshopper reminded me of something while we were chatting last night. We were having a little discussion about something and he said, 'Aren't boyfriends and girlfriends friends first before anything else?'. And it made me think.

It's so easy to take your loved ones for granted. To yell at them when you're in a foul mood, to pick on them and generally dump on them just because they are there. I look at the friendships that I have with the girls around me, and I don't think I've ever had a yelling match with LGG or Ching or any of my close friends. Sure, there were definitely times where we got annoyed with each other, but we've never actually fought. Why can't it be the same with the relationships we have with our partners?

It's much easier said than done, of course. But still, it's something to think about and try to work on.

My Day In Five Sentences

This is a cute idea from the blog, passport in my pocket. She writes about her day in five sentences. Here's mine. Lol.

> Woke up at 7am and walked for 2 hours at the Tree Top Walk with Ching.
> Had a yummy breakfast (eggs royale!) at the Green Room after.
> Headed home, lazed in bed, and finished reading James Patterson's 1st to Die.
> Snacked on edamame beans while chatting with the grasshopper on Skype.
> Gonna surf the net for a bit more before starting on a new book to read.

The Aftermath

So much for my enthusiasm doing 100 squats yesterday. Woke up this morning and had to hobble to the bathroom.

My legs. Oh how they hurt.

I'm supposed to go for yoga today but I don't know if I can. I wonder if it'll be easier to try walking on the treadmill instead. Hmm.

Anyway we (LGG, Ching and I) have decided to go jogging every Sunday at Bishan Park. We'll meet in the morning and have a jog around the park and then have breakfast at that place that we like. Cos you know, one always needs some motivation to get moving. Lol.

Feeling sleepy and have a slight headache now. Finally dozed off at 4ish and before I knew it, my alarm clock was ringing. Didn't get much (if any) deep sleep.

Thankfully we're already mid-week. Hehehe 3 more days to the weekend!

Time For A Little Bit Of Self Praise

Since I can't sleep, I decided to read some of my old blog entries, and I must say that I'm quite funny. Hehehehe.

It's nice to look back at some of the posts I've written, and remember the silly things that made my day.

Anyway, I'm tempted to whip out my macbook and start watching some videos. Maybe I will.

It's All Wonky

Ah, one of the downsides to having a (super) long weekend is that you end up getting used to sleeping late and waking up after 12 hours of sleep. In other words, ones sleeping cycle gets screwed up big time.

It's now 2am and I'm wide awake. I've tried everything I can think of to help me sleep- read a book, put on some lavender scent, drink warm water (too lazy to heat up the milk) but my mind is still alert and body pumped. Even the 100 squats that I did earlier in the evening doesn't seem to tire me out. (Unless it's because I did squats that's why I can't sleep? Hmm.)

Had a lovely day out with LGG and Ching today. Went to the temple and I burnt one of the curly incense cos the guy who was writing names had beautiful handwriting and I wanted to see him write my name. Lol.

Grabbed lunch at Sakae Sushi at Icon, had coffee (oh no wonder I'm still up!!!) at Tom n Tom's, bought lottery tickets, walked to Chinatown, then walked to Clarke Quay, had dinner at The Tapas Tree, then walked around Meidi-ya. An awesome day just eating, chatting and doing absolutely nothing.

Hmm now I know why I'm still so wide awake. Lol. Totally forgot about the 2 cups of coffee I had just now. Yikes.
