Bzzz!
Thank God for the electric drill! Saved me a lot of time and aching old-person muscles in putting the 4 legs on my dining table =) 15 screws in quick-time (I lost 1 a while ago).
So, dining table's out... but I still haven't felted the bottom of the chairs... the doorbell needs installing, as well as the dryer and dishwasher... and all these other little things that might take a few months more =P
oh, and I have curtains at last =)
Bought a 1.9kg tin of Milo today! hahaha... no, I don't drink that much... just that's it's cheaper to get the larger tins... supposedly that's a typically Asian mentality =P
So tired these days... and I don't know why... I'm sleeping about as much as before, yet these last couple of months have been particularly bad at work in terms of alertness. It seems to be every time I have a meeting I'm spending all my energy trying to keep my eyes open >.< I wonder if it's the lack of daylight (I'm further away from the window than I was at my old job). Most probably I just need more sleep and am just getting old...
Obviously my mind is vacant for the time being... just thought I'd say "Hi!" to everyone =)
Take care.
Scattered Thoughts
To be honest, I haven't done a great deal of deep thinking lately (not that I normally do anyway), as everyday living has occupied most of my time. So what have I been up to? Well, settling into the house is slowly progressing. I finally cleaned up the kitchen, and the study is pretty much set up. Still waiting for the curtains, so I'm still living mostly in my bedroom.
Work is fairly steady. There's always something to do, just that I haven't particularly felt like doing it >.< I guess I'm waiting for the Christmas holidays. I have two weeks off - about as much time off in one go as I've had all year (public holidays, etc). Am looking to seeing my family again, with my parents staying for a few days, while my siblings will be here the entire 2 weeks I have off work =)
Like every year, this one has whizzed by...
One thing I have been thinking about is another short story. Have started it, but will likely be a few more weeks before I finish it. haha... I'm realising that I'm something of a romance writer, though I guess most things in life revolve around love. Should be a happier ending this time =)
I am invited to two weddings that are coming up, and I'm friends with 3 of the 4 participants (no, I am not the fourth participant =P)... the first 2 weddings of good friends of my generation... and they are on the same day! How's that for coincidence? Fortunately, due to the timing of the two events, I can still be at both =) It's less than a month away now... it's quite exciting - the start of a new stage of life for my friends. Was uni, and then work, and now - marriage. And to go along with the 2 weddings was an engagement just a couple months ago.
I have thought a bit about love and marriage in light of these announcements ("haha... but aren't you always thinking about these things Son?" I hear you ask). But, it hasn't actually been in the forefront of my mind. However, I do expect to have a strong emotional response after the weddings, so I'll tell you my thoughts on that later.
For now... I'm rather braindead (not unusual), so I'd better find something else to do. I shall speak further with thee anon.
