Being a grown-up

is tough work. Many a time I wish I could just relapse into childishness. (And on a lot of those occasions I do.) But calling in sick due to the blues doesn't seem to be sufficiently justified for that.

Last weekend was rather more eventful than usual, but not necessarily better. I was invited to a rather exclusive (not every girl in the office was asked) dinner at Brewerkz. :D Admittedly it could just be because I could get a 15% discount there. ;p Anyway it was mainly a girls night out. (There were a couple of thorns amongst the roses; my boss and the husband of one of the girls were there too.) A drink at Indochine after concluded the evening. It was a relaxing time of good company and delicious food.

Saturday afternoon I met up with Zan and some of her JC friends for a while. We chit-chatted for a bit before separating to get to other appointments. It was good seeing her.

I made my way to Ed's (a colleague) place for his housewarming party. I wasn't really in the mood for being in a big crowd and thus had to drag my feet a little to it. His new place is very spacious and well-furnished. A condominium with 3 levels! Hanging out with a gorgeous little girl at the party made me feel slightly happier. She's so amazingly sweet and beautiful! Soft blond hair, bright blue eyes, snow-white skin. I really should put up pictures on this blog. I'll do it soon. (As soon as I get down to revamping this blog... which is something I need help with... And that means it'll take a while...) I wonder if it was that she could feel my sadness that day thus was especially nice to me. She gave me cuddly hugs while we sat on the couch and talked. (She's 4 so we talked about her family, school etc. :D) Then I read her a bedtime story before she slept.
That night though, I had one drink too much and too fast and soon found myself rushing to the washroom a few times. Fortunately a friend offered to pick me up and sent me home safely.

Sunday was then blissfully spent at home reading and sleeping whenever I want.

Okay, gotta go down to my animals...

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
