the challenge

the money went in today. now it’s just wait and see.

unable vs unwilling

Today a pipsqueak half my age nagged at me to heed the nation’s call to procreate and aid the dwindling global population. She isn’t the first; neither will she be the last. Sometimes I wonder whether I’m genuinely unable to shackle another person for life or am I unconsciously resisting the notion and just plain running away. Somehow the process seems all so much more fun.

living in genting minus the slot machines

my brother came home declaring a haze alert. apparently the neighbours have been engaged in some pretty enthusiastic burning for the past hour or so hence resulting in our current genting-like abode. one wonders when they’ll realize the only thing they’re expediting is their passage to seeing those illusioned addition of riches to the family ancestors whilst my poor lungs take a battering from all the smoke residue.

not everything’s for me!

I came home laden. But yet, after sorting thru the stuff, I realized the “things-for-me” pile is distinctively smaller than the “things-for-others” pile. Strange. Only one super big regret this time is not buying more of the real comfy pretty dresses from Na Dao (Platinum Mall / #G-188). Thank goodness I visit the Land of Smiles ever so often. Till the next time then.

more than I can handle

Every this time of the year, I get more presents than I can handle or even want. Nope, it’s not my birthday nor is it Christmas. Anyways, I received some pretty useful stuff this year. Those I’ve put aside. The rest are in a paper bag for next year’s lucky dip. Who says I don’t take recycling seriously?
