So just like the Druids of the Claw in Warcraft, I’m saying this now. I am frigging awake. Literally.
My body clock is severely ruined. I would stay up to 4AM to 5AM and wake up at 8AM. There was even a time it was 6 or 7. Not the way on how to live. I have been spacing out, getting extra cranky, having eye irritation, and if I do go on, my stomach would be next.
My body is saying it. Time to listen. Friends are even kind enough to say it. I had a lot of different hints from phone to chat and even on email at 7AM from a friend’s dad…. A friend’s dad! Ugh.
“Just remember all that money isn’t worth it if your health is at risk.”
“You’re going to burn up bad. ”
“If you get down and sick, [Boss] will not bring you to the hospital.”
“You cannot do this. You have to have a shift.”
And the best line goes to:
“Babe, have a beer.” In an attempt to catch me off guard. I think.
So yeah. I’m still alive and I’m awake. Time to regain the wheel on my car.
Sincerely,
Sleepless in Singapore
I think am mellowing down. Last Friday, I went off with a group of my friends to check out MAAD’s Friday get together. Before anything else, dinner must be done and we hang out in a Japanese restaurant. Despite the hideous headache Pat and I had because of work, it came out quite pleasant.
Of course for once, we didn’t, or rather, they didn’t end up with any alcohol but we ended the night nicely.
On my way home, I saw a fat cat roaming around the building where I live in. It was nicely perched beside the fire hydrant and I just had to stop and take a picture which eventually got a couple’s attention. Well I wasn’t able to get a picture but after patting it, I found it following me down the pathway and I just had to sit by the side and continue reading Pibidy with the fat cat for a couple of minutes.
It was placid. Simple things like this makes you stop and think of life. Awww. Sappy.

I’ve been in Singapore for four years now. Four years. It’s like going through high school and even though I would like to say that I am about to go up the stage, take my diploma, smile, shake the principal’s hand and exit and look forward to entering a new phase, I can’t. I’m quite as you say stuck in Singapore and it has served as a second home to me and not of fey anymore.
I’m yet here again on the crossroads to move or not to move. Proposals of Malaysia, Thailand and even New Zealand came up seemed ever so tempting most especially that I am in the market again. Delicious.
But it seems I am enjoying watching as old and new friends move in to wonderful Singapore and discovering a couple of things which I used to find so enchanting! Read the rest of this entry »
I believe that it is not of common knowledge that I was engaged. Though it definitely tastes like vinegar to talk about, it serves a good lesson or two for me. Thank God I wasn’t thwarted at the altar and there are reasons why things never came to be – am speaking in a light religious way on this as well which is so unlikely of me.
Without regard, I appreciated how people were there for me even though I wasn’t bawling – my family, my old and new friends and my former boss (which I would like to highlight is a guy).
Since I pretty much started off do getting back on the saddle of blogging, let’s talk about the feel good remedy for someone who broke up – recently or badly or both. Call it my nepenthe. A very odd nepenthe. Read the rest of this entry »
I know! I know! I haven’t posted anything decent, consistent and readable. It most especially doesn’t help my Establishing a Routine project. Boo!
Where am I? What have I been doing? And the good question… Why?
Because am enjoying.
New job, new set of friends, new get together with old friends. New new new. It’s like shedding off worn out clothes and a positive outlook. Oh and the occasional nanny duty.
