it's 14th Aug.

done with 2 weeks of work. been quite hectic since the 1st day. the usual traffic counts... and the unusal carpark survey around CBD. walked for hours on this stupid survey. having to explain to numerous security guards what i was doing... tried to enjoy some of the moments as i walked along raffles quay, like looking at the tall structure of marina bay sands and thinking of the time i was up there at the 57th storey some weeks ago... sipping on my white chocolate mocha from starbucks while taking a break from walking... and most imptly, becuz it's the CBD, the pretty office ladies would crowd the streets when it's lunch time. and seriously, pretty. wonder if it's the make-up. i still can't figure out how can females make their eyes look significantly bigger just by using some colors and brushes. i must say that cosmetics is, and will remain, one of the greatest creations mankind has ever made (even if it's for the vanity of female). haha.. i'm still against cosmetics on myself, even though my face ain't that ideal.

holidays ending in 2 weeks. i don't really care.
i managed to do some things i've planned for this sem break, though most are still on the post-it strips just right infront of me. right in my face, and one of them is 'learn cooking from mum'. haha.. this has been forever on my mind since i graduated from jc. plus wugui's tank. still procrastinating after so many years.

today i realised again, that i feared that my closed ones are feeling lonely. i'm less concerned abt my loneliness, becuz i know i can deal with it. but for my family, i'm just afraid they may feel this way. my sis is rather contented with her job and life, can sensed it from her, and also her fb photos. dad, more or less occupied with work in the day, the babies in the evening, and mahjong during the weekends. i'm more worried about mum. she's the housewife who's taking care of the whole family, and it seemed like she has the least amount of time to herself. often tired and exhausted from taking care of 1 adolescent, 2 babies.. so much so she became physically sick. today she spent almost the whole afternoon and night playing zuma, some game i downloaded for her entertainment. haha.. but while it filled her time, i thought she might actually desire something more meaningful, something more interesting, perhaps a hobby or something. the game is just a choice out of no choice. i'm contemplating on buying Wii for her amusement, and also the family. wonder if that would actually help to add some colours to her weekend. at least it's something action, not clicking away with the mouse. or should i engage her in some other activities? hmm.. oh well.

14th august. happy 23rd kris~!
and it feels kinda stupid that i still haven't send the letter even though i wrote it yesterday.
