weekend celebrations!

The weekend is here! I cannot remember, but I think this might be my first weekend alone, here. And I'm celebrating it!

I guess that I better get use to living alone, during weekends. Going back each weekend is not no longer an option, as doing that would really eat into my pockets. So, when my housemate decides to go back for those weekends which I don't, I will be here alone. Like this weekend. So, celebrate it, that's what I have been doing.


First Celebration : Wake up late! This girl decided to sleep in this morning. Only a little after 8am did she wake up. Oh yes, that's late, way after her alarm, which started ringing at 0650..Hahaha..too lazy!

Second Celebration : Read before washing up! Had continued reading my book, which I started yesterday afternoon, before even washing up for the morning! Hahaha..my mouth was busy gobbling up breakfast of bread and coffee, while my eyes were devouring the pages of the love story! Relaxing, man!

Third Celebration : Wash my curtains and floor rags! Decided to go crazy and wash my curtains. Nothing wrong with that, you might think, but hey, I don't have the luxury of using the washing machine! Crazy me but I'm glad! Getting freshly washed curtains tonight and clean rags, hopefully tomorrow!

Fourth Celebration : Wonderfully delicious home-cooked lunch! Haha..What a wonderful day! My treat for my weekend alone is to cook prawns. Experimented cooking prawns, meat slices and some pieces of capsicums with loads of cili powder (in an attempt to make something similiar like sambal udang) in some lime juice turned out wonderfully, even I was surprised! Tasted so yummy!

Fifth Celebration : Nap time! Nap wasn't in my agenda today. Wanted to be a good girl and avoid napping in the afternoon. No apparent reason. Guess gave in to the combination of nice after the rain weather, tummy filled to the brim with good lumch, and tiredness of doing housework. Best part was, here I am, awake, right after the half hour nap! No stealing time! Congratulations, girl!


Only half the day gone, and yet already so many celebrations! I feel so motivated...This has been a good, productive day so far, and I intend to keep the momentum going as long as I can! Continue with planning more ways to celebrate the weekend, happily alone!

Inconsiderate

How inconsiderate some people can be! Very irritating to come across people like when you are very motivated.

I had wanted to swim today, having postpone my date with the pool for the past 2 days. Furthermore, coming home early was another push for me to fully utilize my time and myself. I am in progress to get fit and on diet. So naturally, with the pool so conveniently located in this apartment unit, swimming is the first choice, if not walking.

Hence, with the grey skies looming above, I had thought that I should not miss the opportunity. Blaming the weather for the misses in swimming is just too convenient since now is the rainy season. So, my motivated-self decided today, I must go before it starts to pour.

I changed and went down, all done by 5. Walking towards the pool, I did hear children playing in the pool. Voices told me that there were quite a number of them. I suspected they must the same group of children who plays there almost each time I past by. Yes, I was right. The same group of children, playing about in the pool and it's surrounding.

I had thought it was alright. The pool's big enough to accommodate all of us. So, undeterred, I went it. They were outside of the pool, playing a game of catch, I presume. I swam, at the side of the pool.

Barely completing a lap, I noticed that some of them using the pool to like get away from being caught by their friend. I was appalled! After running barefooted outside the pool, they just conveniently dipped in! Then, there was the thing of not giving way. I was swimming laps, they were walking around in the pool. Do let me past when I was coming, but no. They instead forced me to stop, and divert my course!

Gosh, how inconsiderate people can be! Kids or not. Wonder why our children of such character? Where's the problem, what's the best solution? Sigh, for the our future generation, so bleak..Shudder at this thought!

not yet 1600 and I'm posting!

I'm back home, posting this! And it's not after 1600 yet. A week ago, exhausted me would be heading home only after 1600. Today, my principal announced that all teachers are allowed to go home at 1300. So, here I am, at home, that too after hanging around in school for a while.

It's so different! I'm full of energy now, feeling so motivated. I think after all the browsing and reading news and all, I will do a little studying. Yes, I need to catch on my studying, brush up my English, especially in speaking. It's really, corrupted.

If it had been announced earlier, I guess that right now, I will be on my way back to my home sweet home, historical city. I would have packed all the necessary things and also those things that I would like to bring back, load them all in the car. Once I am done for the day, it would be straight back home.

Unfortunately, since it was made known only this morning, I've made up my mind to stay put here this weekend. Planning to get some studying, cleaning up, washing, and clearing done this weekend. Heading home only next weekend, together with Wonderful Guy. Yes, that Wonderful Guy will be home next weekend! So, I must get things moving and gone this weekend.

So here I am, posting while sipping a cup of coffee, while my former team members are there slogging away in the front office. I felt kinda bad to leave them like that, yet, I've moved my cheese else where. Change is inevitable, adaptable is viable. Speedy recovery, me, you, and all. Happy weekend!
