Damn moody

Am feeling absolutely disoriented and disorganized.
My apt needs to be cleaned. My clothes remain unironed. I have a pile of laundry to wash. My bunnies' cage needs to be cleaned. I have yet to prepare my red packets for Chinese new year. My packing is in a mess...*sobs*
I need to get my act together and prioritize.

Quality time

A bottle of Rosemount O sparkling white wine
Cracked pepper crackers with Camembert cheese
A bright red picnic mat laid out right in the middle of our study room
Just the two of us.

Sometimes, that's all that's needed. =)

Keeping head under wraps



I've been meaning to own one of these multifunctional headwear for the longest time but I feel they are a tad overpriced. But thanks to my wonderful friends (and my shameless hinting. haha! ;)), I now own not 1 but 2 of them! Happy me! =)

Bored to smithereens...

Since stopping work last week, I've been spending my days spring cleaning and packing at home. It's amazing the amount of stuff we keep that we don't really need! Tough job having to organise and decide where all our things should go and it certainly doesn't help that I am left to do this mostly on my own. *bleah!*
Anyway, hubs came back from work the other day and asked me if I had been talking to myself at home. What a weird question to ask! :P Well, I answered "no" which was the truth. I had spent the day talking to the rabbits, the lone plastic container that I had missed to throw away, the housefly that was hovering about my apt and annoying me..yada yada...
In case you are wondering, no I am not mad. Just bloody bored. Guess house moving could be fun if I have someone to do it with me but oh well....
Anyway, it helps that I have guests coming over tomorrow and my upcoming week has been planned out with farewell lunches & dinners. At least I can have some life then! Yay! =)

So long, farewell...

It helps that my leaving the department was a fairly quiet affair. I was afterall only going away on 3 years no pay leave. So no goodbye gifts and no farewell speech which I was kinda glad since I am not good with farewells. My own team did a little surprise dinner for me (which I discovered b4 they could surprise me. ha ha!) and they took turns to say nice things about me which was really sweet. =) Had a little party at my place for my colleagues on Sunday as well. And as I waved goodbye to my last guest that night, it suddenly dawned on me that things will never be the same again. I know I will never come back to doing the same work and I am indeed moving on to the next phase of my life. As I walked up the road back to my apartment, I looked up at the barren tree set against the backdrop of a full moonlight and I felt a modicum of sadness...
