Its day 7 of the month and the 2nd day
of the long weekend.
Remember how excited I was about the long weekend
coming up and 4 days of holidays and all that, now I am raring to get back to
my work! Yes! The same conundrum! The fact that the grass is always greener on
the other side.
The thing about staying in a place long enough (in
my case – 6+ years) is that you have seen all that there is to be seen, done
all that there is to be done and now there is nothing to do. And the other
thing about staying in the world’s most expensive city is that the minute you
step out of the house you end up spending at the very least 10$ … sometimes
there is nothing called self-control. Case in point today evening, I stepped
out in the evening with friends and ended up buying a pair of tan coloured pants
of which I had no need!! My justification to self was that new clothes I can
always end up using! :P Sigh! Yes! I know.
But like I was saying, the thing about staying in
a place too long is that everything apart from regular or even impromptu shopping
is ‘been there and done that’!! Oh, I can hear you saying that why did you go
out of Singapore somewhere. This is just one of those times that none of the
plans materialized. Next long weekend, wait and watch this space ;-) I have big
plans!! But coming back to Singapore, especially on the eve of Chinese New
Year, when everything is closed. 90% of the shops in the mall we went today to
were shut! This was at 7 in the evening! And as far as going out and partying
is concerned, I would rather end up settling in bed with a nice book and all
snuggled up inside my quilt. The days of pulling a night-outer are well past. Oh
the perils of growing old ;) :P
And now I have no idea how to end this post. Do I go
on and on about how boring Singapore is on long weekends, or do I go on about
how things change as soon as you hit the 30s. I think I just got an idea for my
next blog post ;)
And as for this one, I think I will end it by
wishing you all …..
A VERY HAPPY GONG XI FA CAI AND A HAPPY YEAR OF
THE MONKEY! :)
Stay happy and stay blessed! :) :)
