It's DAT time of the year again.
When u find urself being plagued by songs wif chiang~chiang~chiang~dong~dong~dong~ as their main instruments when u walk into almoz all the retail shops, u noe, the impending occasion is due soon.
Again. Chinese New Year.
*stares at ceiling for 5 mins in despair before returning to blog*
There it goes again. Meeting of nosey aunties & uncles, trying to poke their fat noses in my life, my increased number of fine lines on my face, the increased mass & flabs on my ass & thighs, my work, my relationship, my marriage plans, my having kids intent, my future estate location, how much i earn, how much i give to my parents, my retiring plans...etc. U get the idea.
I don't get y people r so upbeat about it.
All the shops r closed, restricting our only recreational activity to watching CNY movie. Everywhere else is like a ghost town.
Sheesh. Brace myself.
Days & Nights.
There are those days when u feel like just having a bar of chocolate by urself; just the plain, dark, creamy ones without nuts to interfere wif the o' so classic taste of the silky lusciousness.
Then there are days when u feel like just sitting by the window, enjoying the cool breeze from the rain, & counting on the dose of caffeine to perk u up from the lethargy of the cold.
There are nights when u know u will feel so alone if u cruise among the busy lightings & the bustling crowd in the midst of the hub but u choose to do that anyway.
And then there are those nights when u find that there is nothing apparently wrong with everything around but u simply do not feel anything is that right either. The mind helplessly allows the overpowering inadequacy to linger through the dead of the night & the puzzlement as illustrated by a constant lock of the brows.
Tonight is unfortunately, one of such bewildering nights.
