alot to be thankful for

these days i find myself having alot to be thankful for, grades that unexpectedly go wonderfully (notice its for non-accounting cores) and the lull has begun with all presentations over and done with.

unscath, this girl finds herself very secured and thankful.

with a heavy heart.

much discussion went into it yesterday amidst tears (mine) and shouts (mine) which led ultimately to a very quiet, dissipation of an anticipation.

India has been on the forefront of my heart recently, tickets booked, itinerary planned, budget worked out. much laughter, much frustration, much joy derived from just planning it with the wife and twinkletoes.

but in light of recent, VERY recent events,

1. Goa girl ‘drugged and assaulted’

2. Scarlett’s mother fears for safety

3.Bomb blast kills Sri Lanka priest

 

i think given the worries of the very concerned father and the very worried mother, it looks like I am gonna shelf plans to visit the old country. 

i’m sorry girls, i really am. but i realise that perhaps now is not the best time.

rainfall

cooper is moping around the house because he cannot go outside; poor sulking thing. he even went upstairs to sniff around and got chased off by the studying pea. 

anyway, the paper is tomorrow, and i’m sitting on my nice new sheets contemplating if i should continue reading my very exciting book, or to just take (yet another) nap or actually start doing up my “consolidation sheets” for the paper tomorrow. 

just, (finally) loaded up leopard. after the first laggy hour, i am happy to report that its working well. *cross fingers*.

chickeedees. whoopla, its gonna be a bumpy ride.

the pea

so the pea and i had a heart-to-heart last night from the hours of around 1.15-3.45am, and suffice to say, many things came up, just as many things were clarified and put in order. just as a few insecurities came up and a few new-old revelations were made.

i dunno if the talk will prove eventually beneficial, or if this is the start of a paradigm shift in status quo. the age old line “honesty is the best policy” juxtaposed against the bright big “what one doesn’t know won’t hurt you”, the ends of the spectrum that blaze at us “half truths are not truths” and the other end that chills to the bone. “dont poke the sleeping dragon in the eye”

there is much to do, but my nocturnal way-of-life does not permit brain function in the light–something which obviously i have to do something about considering.. just considering.

the body has gone off on its own tangent these days: from cramps to headaches to sloth and binge eating. its time to put that diet in place, for real, for real.

i’m tired know? i have no grounds to complain, what of my life, little sloth can i possibly be tired about? perhaps its been just the deprivation of movies and books that do not involve the word “share capital” and “retained earnings” or stacks of paper which throw “equity” and “bona fide purchaser for value without notice” in my face.

for once, in the car there are no words spoken because we’re both caught up with the screams from inside our heads. for once, in the night there was no laughter, because of the shattering of fragile glass-stained window panes.

in my world

butterflies will be pink and sparkly

water will taste like pink dolphin

dogs will talk and comfort

school will be all fun and learning

family will be laughing and hugs

travel will be a matter of closing your eyes and clicking your heels

friends will be live-in

and oranges will be banished, like lizards and celery.

getting into the groove of things

this day is a beautiful day; with the rain on the panes and the perfect day for snoozies and languid lullabies. (lullabies. who would have thought the plural for lullaby is lullabies. surely its not pronounced “la-la-bees”, is it? that made me laugh a little.)

this is not going to be a gripe post, because all i’ve been doing in gripping (pronounced “gripe-ing” or “gripp-ing”? (hehe)) about how i’ve got the blasted AFA test this friday (which i know very, very little) and my much much need-to-be-done-or-i-cant-grad report due on the same day or the law of confidence.. exam on the following thursday, followed by the slew of meetings for AFA presentation the following monday; and the very probable slew of meetings for AT presentation that same wednesday.

where’s the fun in reading a blog like that?!

but today, despite the mild panic and the sleeping bug that bit me resulting in waking up at 12 then falling asleep by one, only waking up at 3 plus, to drive to clementi (to drop off a precious pea, and photocopy something) and back, i feel like its a good day for concentration and work.

cooper is sulking over the rain. (probably; wonder what goes on in his little doggie mind–(what’s mango doing now? oh there she is, sleeping by my tail. ooh cat! shall i bark? wonder when dinner is. what’s mango doing now? oh there she is, sleeping by my tail. i shall sleep too. what’s mango doing now? oh there she is, sleeping by my tail. what’s mango doing now? oh there she is, sleeping by my tail. shall i wake her to play? she doesn’t want to. ooh car. the other dogs are barking. what’s mango doing now? oh there she is, sleeping by my tail. )

i’m getting into the groove of things; hopefully this lasts.

Pools of sorrow waves of joy / are drifting thorough my open mind

(title credits to the beatles; across the universe)

so my favourite class of the sem ends today, and it has been an amazing treat truly, with the professor (and peer) coming in with judges’ robe and the funny wigs and addressing “counsel” and each other as “my lord”

hoopa, i have an advanced financial accounting quiz this friday; and my law finals next week. coupled with the community svs %^&*() report due too! gee whiz. funny how, the only thing i want to do tonight is to curl up and watch lauren graham and alexis bledel saunter and jibber-jabber and chuckle the night away.

breastfriend, are we going on our day-long road-trip to our nearest and dearest neighbour-country?

i am considerably cheered today, i get to go for a movieeeeeeee! (if it comes through) whee! ; the pina colada stayed over last night and had breakfast with my dad while i slept on in the prefect’s room. i wanted to sneak cooper into the room to wake him up actually, but i overslept. so much for my morning surprise.

i am re-reading the harry potter series. i’m loving it, i have lost count (>7) of the no of re-reads i’ve gone through (i even have audio books) and i cannot find my HALF-BLOOD PRINCE!! (who has it?! return it!!!) its ridiculous! we have 2 copies! (cher-poot and i each got a diff copy so we could read at the same time) and yet, BOTH HAVE GONE MISSING.

and since cher-poot has recently introduced a new monkey into our little bubble world, we shall henceforth refer to said new monkey as sweatyboy.
