another day another drama

for once i just feel wonderful. truly blessed.

it's almost 11am on monday morning and i'm at home writing blogs. i woke up by the sound of that bright yellow bird that always chirped at my bedroom window, then just laid on bed watching spongebob, not before i texted my colleague saying i'm taking the day off.

now before you judge me, it's not like i'm lazy or anything. i'm not. ok i am sometimes, but today i have a valid reason. no make it 2 valid reasons.

first, i just need a rest. you'd think that after the long lunar new year weekend, i'm all physically and metally fresh and geared up to resume working. not really.

my folks were here for holiday and that means staying up late playing games with my lil' bro, then being woken up early by my father for prayer. and it's not like i could slack on bed all day doing nothing when they are around.

not that i'm complaining. i still love their company.

after sending them off, i was thinking to have an early night before the first day working but ermm.. i hooked up and ended up staying up way past midnight. i'm not gonna right about that but it was amazing, everything just clicked like fitting in that last piece of the jigsaw puzzle.

on time like this, who cares about manic monday.

so i'm all washed up this morning, i can almost feel the puffiness under my eyes. ok i'll start working tomorrow. after all, i always spend half a day typing the weekly report every monday, then quarter day inside meeting. which means, i'm only missing a quarter day worth of working time. quality working time. no big deal.

only one tiny little thing lingering behind my mind. i saw this table stating the auspicious and bad luck day to start working after the lunar rat new year, and my zodiac says i should not start work on tuesday.

tuesday! i mean, it's tuesday tomorrow and i can't possibly call in sick for 2-days in a row. i could say i have diarrhoe or something but still, i already have this massive guilt on my chest. i'm just not used of living across the line.

plus, it's not like it's going to come true, isn't it? maybe i'm just paranoid. who cares about that non-scientific prediction anyway. i mean, tell that to einstein and maybe he'll just laugh it away. i bet he'd purposely take the day off to prove it wrong and come up with some equation or something.

but think about it, on the first day of the new year i kept all my garbage in because i don't wanna throw away any good luck. i do this kind of thing. not that i'm aware of any logic behind it but well, how hard is it not sweeping the floor or throw away rubbish? i already not doing those things in normal day anyway.

so this is what i'll do. i'll go to work tomorrow, and think of some auspicious deeds or something to counter the effect. maybe there's poison arrow deflector or something, maybe put in a fountain beside my desk, or a small aquarium to sthrengthen the water elements on the east corner.

as for today, i must settle my road insurans, then checked out some facts to decide my travel plan to tibet at mid-year. maybe i'll drop by bedok to see if they have new discus stock available. i have a bit of a craving for burger after watching spongebob's crabby patty stories, so i think i'll have burger king lunch today.

it's gonna be a pleasant outta-work day ahead. now if only my phone would beep in certain last night's follow-up message...
