8.38am on a Thursday morning
When I close my eyes :
I hear random construction work going on faintly in the background, buses passing by in the distance. 

I smell freshly cut grass, and I hear birds chirping. 


It's funny how closing your eyes heightens every other sensory organ.


8.40 am : I wonder what every other person on this planet is doing right now. A huge bulk of the population would be settling into office , booting up the computer, checking emails, getting their morning fix, catching up on the day's work, scuttling into meetings. The other part of the population would be....making their way to work , buried in their mobile devices or plugged in with eyes closed on the MRT or bus or taxi.

If there were families driving to work, there'd be kids, or just couples alone in the car . From what I've mostly seen, the guy and the girl in the car would just stare stonily ahead, no conversation, no form of touch or even acknowledgement of existence between them . The person in the passenger seat would normally be fiddling with a device or napping or ...just sitting in silence.


And that's sad. The last moment with your partner before you part ways for work, and you spend it like this, almost every day. Some may say it's the pre-work moment that's hard to lighten, but I say why not have some fun before you start the day??? 


Elsewhere in the world....

The many very important ministers would be probably in foreign land, attending meetings or media interviews. *yawn*

1 timing, so many different activities. 


Do you find yourself lapsing into " And then he/she was like blahblahblah" often during conversations with friends? I do. I think it's a pretty deformed way of talking, but it's so convenient. And! We mostly use this phrase when bitching about someone, no?


I've been much more involved in my life lately. I like it.  This means more meaningful conversation (at times), less checking on social media, more attention to the people and things around me. Being Happy. So underrated. 


I'm so caught up in work nowadays, trying to earn and save up more to spend on my Europe trip. Le woes of a broke girl who pays for her own shit. I will be richer when I stop my piano lessons yay. 


ME.




Go ahead, spill
