I wanted to blog. But I decided against it. No need to tell the world about it. =)
July is the month for reflection.
“Flowers are weak, they are naive. They reassure themselves as best they can. They think they are being frightening, with their thorns.” — The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Oh July, July rose. What is this trepidation? I miss my best friend too.
Do you want to know what makes a good weekend a good weekend?
It’s getting up at 9 am to look after Hazel, going out for lunch with my family, browsing for books in an almost-empty bookstore, eating Snow Ice, reading Sherlock Holmes and watching Hazel watch my sister play Sally’s Spa.
See that red spot on her cheek? A vile mosquito took advantage of her momentary stillness while we weren’t looking! And she doesn’t look too pleased about that either.
Sally’s Spa. =)
Reading Sherlock Holmes in Lake View Club on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Addictive. =)
I have this super itchy mosquito bite on my toe and it is driving me INSANE. It ITCHES SO BAD. And it’s red and swollen. =(
Die mosquito die!
Arggh, I wish my toe would just fall off now. Except, that happened to me before! Ahahaha. Why do I find that so funny?
By the way, grilled sausage and cold milk do not go well together.
Have nothing to blog about today ‘cept that it was a good day. =) So I shall do a tag! Haven’t done one in AGES.

They have to be real – nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can’t use your name for the boy/girl name question.

DO YOU SEE THIS? DO YOU SEE THIS?
I finally completed the expert level! So what if I exceeded the 999 seconds and didn’t get into best time? I COMPLETED IT.
Today is a good day after all. =)
Today was the 2nd photoshoot and I thought it went well enough. Good job Chen Lynn! =)
You know how some people throw themselves into work when they have some problems in their life? They work and work and WORK nonstop. To them working is like escaping from whatever problems they have because they’ll be so busy that they have no time for anything else!
I always thought it was a very cowardly thing to do. Like, be a man and face your problems lah! Little did I know I slowly became one of those people. I guess we all make mistakes. I made the mistake of judging people before putting myself in their shoes. Now I know how truly hard it is to look problem in its face because it has a scary face indeed!
Today I completely threw myself into arranging the classes so that I won’t have space to think of anything else. But I got more than I bargained for. I thought I would do alright since I had experience with the larger clubs from the 1st photoshoot. What I didn’t count on was that it would be so TIRING arranging them for four times.
Yet, it was still an amazingly gratifying job.
And so despite all the things that are not right with my life, I still managed to do this:
Camwhore! =D
One more post for the day before I pack up and go to bed. And this will be another Hazel picture post. =)
How could anyone not fall in love with this baby?
It’s funny how one little text that contains nothing of particular importance can easily spoil my entire day. I’m not saying that my day was spoiled. But it could have so easily been. That just goes to show how fragile a good day actually is.
But today is a good day nonetheless.
I thought, I thought that I would have so much to say after being deprived of blogging for so long.
I have nothing.
There are days when I wake up in the morning and it actually feels cool and soothing. It is on those days that I feel absolutely unproductive yet most contented. The slight wind, the clouds, the hidden sun. All that makes me feel like I actually belong. I never want to budge from that moment because no matter the situation, life could not be more perfect.
Today is one such day.
I think, I think I love the wind best. More than the sun, more than the rain, more than the rainbows. All of which I used to love so much. Yesterday, the wind was ridiculously strong. So strong it toppled the bottles in the kitchen and slammed closed my bedroom door thrice. So strong it blew Hazel’s clothes onto the roof. It blew into my face and rushed about my ears and I loved it.
Today, the wind is slight. It tickled my legs as I sat and ate my tea. It hardly sets the trees in the garden swaying but it’s there all right. I can feel it against my back even as I type this. And I love it.
Screw Civic Project. I’m going to read Sherlock Holmes, play Minesweeper, watch a movie and wash my dog. I refuse to spend my day doing work that I delegated to other people. But to those who actually did your part, I love you to bits. =)
This post is rather disjointed, is it not?
