For some odd reason, I am feeling utterly relaxed tonight. As I described to Jen a few days ago, I've been feeling like a rubber band stretched too thin, close to breaking. Truthfully, although there have been a few datelines to meet, what I'm going through is nothing compared to my fellow Engineering flatmates. One can sense their tension from a mile away... So, maybe its that ebb of energy surrounding the whole flat that has gotten to me...
Anyhow! It struck me while walking back from laundry a mere 10 minutes ago...I had this ultimate sense of calm around me! Very much welcome after one whole week of being harried and rushed. Rushing to get to work, rushing to eat, rushing to apply lotion (was late for a meeting) rushing for said meeting...I had begun to wonder just when I could sit back and take a breather! And in a weird moment, without actually thinking about relaxing, I was relaxing! I don't really know if this makes any sense, but I do mentally note when to come up with some 'me-time' when I feel particularly worn out, but tonight, I actually included it without brooding too much on said subject!
Now, should this be a reason to just let things flow as they might? Sometimes, when you put too much thought into something or plan excessively...all you get is a diminishing return. Isn't it better to be randomly surprised when you least expect it?
So, along that line of indulgence, here's what I tend to do when I am feeling happy: indulge myself a little more!
1.
Making myself smile! This cute pair of floral glasses makes me want to click the 'Buy' section immediately...it is such a steal! Yes or No?
2.
I've never really given much thought to my super short hair before. Then, Supervisor1 from work asked whether I had ever grown my hair long. Supervisor2 began to joke about my hair every time I report to work. BigBoss asked teasingly 'boy or girl' when I called in for my shifts last week. I wonder if they have this whole discussion about my hair when I am not there...explains random sneezes I have been suffering from.This is my attempt to 'girlify' myself.
3.
Sportsgirl, I heart and hate thee. Heart you for your latest collection that makes me want to empty my bank account, hate you for the way you toy with my heart. This shade of lacquer, however, is really, really calling out to me...
4.
My Stila perfume is finally down to the last drop. Methinks its time to have a change of heart.
5.
If I could win one whole year's supply of Japanese green tea, green tea ice cream and my own personal tea brewer...I would literally fly over the moon. Its so much better than Schweppes' Magic Moments where they pay you a weekly supply of 2000 dollars for a year! If the kindly donor would like to add in a box of chocolate chip cookies, I would say its a dream come true! Hyok hyok!
6.
See those sparkly decorations inside that see-through film camera? Doesn't it remind you of cupcake toppings and sugared icings? Can't wait till I convince my inner stingy self that I need one of those spiffy cameras! Inner stingy me firmly maintains its currently classified as a want.
7.
Sushi craving is getting out of hand. Had two sushi lunches this past week! Fish says that Curtin's Angazi Cafe has the best smoked salmon sushi. I am open to options- any recommendations? I'll pay for my sushi by using this damningly cute sushi purse! ♪
Guzzling down Green Tea as I type. Hurh, at least my daily wage allows me a bountiful green tea supply. Being bereft of green tea should more or less equal to being bereft of sushi. Both horrible, horrible things that I would never wish upon any sane mortal! Toodles then, till my next impromptu update! Impromptu-ness at least guarantees sporadic blogging, much better than nothing, yo!

Remembering:
-Mom's apple pie
-Chen's laughter
-Jen's lameness
-Jiun's pretty smile
Hoping:
For this whole semster to pass smoothly
LOTTERY STRIKE???
