Home is where the heart is

Today, something went wrong at work. I need to have the strength to do this...tomorrow/the day after tomorrow/(or how long this thing lasts). I can do this.

So my relatives have gone back to Vancouver. After about two months of having them with us, the place suddenly seems very quiet. I quite miss the chatty folks (not the mess/inconvenience etc. that came along though) and it was rather heartbreaking at the airport when they waved at us from the inside. Sis said that Grandaunt and Granduncle were wiping at their eyes (I didn't wear my spectacles) and I walked away to dab at mine.

I wonder when we would meet again? Gotta go there some day!

How cruel can a person be?

Of shit and farts.

Today, a colleague said: "Wah, just now I went into the toilet and there was someone shitting. Very, very smelly! I wanted to vomit."

I thought of the time when I experienced that myself and had lamented loudly in the toilet, "Very smelly, right?? Wah......." to my colleague. The person passing motion must have wanted to scold me but could only shit in silence. =P

Once, I got into the lift with this couple after work. I was tired but I pressed the lift buttons as usual. There was this smell after a few seconds of getting into the lift (someone farted). I pretended not to smell it since there were only three of us. If I made a face, it wouldn't have been nice. Then the guy had to say to his girlfriend "Eh, you farted ah?". I turned to look at them and was waiting for the girlfriend to give an embarrassed laugh and then, I would politely smile. Last thing I expected was the girlfriend saying "No!".

So that implied I farted. So I just turned away from both farts and got out of the lift on my floor.

Short one

I worked my butt off today washing clothes and doing ironing the whole day. Bought roti prata for breakfast and after eating that, I did the laundry till about 8 plus when I finally stopped. Had wanted to go for a run today (I want to start running again!) but didn't have the time (bleah!).

Now, I have a backache. Hope the exhaustion makes me sleep really well tonight.

It's another week. Time seems to pass faster and faster as you grow older.

Good Friday.

Good Friday started off badly. On thursday night, I reached home at about ten plus after dinner. Then, my sis was in the bathroom and complained of severe stomach pain. When she finally came out of the bathroom at eleven plus after bathing, she laid down on the bed. At about twelve a.m., she told me it was very painful and her face was quite pale.

We decided she needed to see a doctor and as we were waiting for the lift, she vomited. My mom had to wipe the floor outside the lifts clean. It was quite disgusting! After some delay, we managed to cab down fast to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. After registration, my mom accompanied her into the waiting area and I waited outside for about 1 hour, before my mom came out. We had to wait for another hour before the doctor would decide if she could be discharged. In the end, we reached home at about 3 a.m. and I slept at about 3.30 a.m.

It was the first time I had to think of where to see a doctor after working hours.

Thanks...

Last days

Yesterday was mousetan's last day. While we were in the meeting room taking pictures, I remembered the times when most of us would gather together to spring surprises on birthday girls/boys and to give our presents to those who were leaving. Time flies. It wasn't so long ago that KK, mousetan and I would stay overtime and then hang out after work. Then, work was hard but having the company and friendships made it better.

However, those weren't enough. Work got worse and we got more and more demoralised. I knew that sooner or later, we would make the choice to leave. It was a matter of when. I thought I was prepared, especially after Au's leaving but I now know I haven't stopped feeling affected by their leaving.
