The Bright Sunshine

The sky looked so promising as I sat by the window, plurking away on my laptop.

Until I hear a sudden downpour.

SHYT! My clothes are outside!

In the attempt to save the clothes, I ran to the kitchen. Knocked the toe against the door ledge, held on to the dining chair for support, skipped (hopped) a few steps. Thought I managed to balance myself. Alas! I fell, and the dining chair fell with me.

And my first instinct was to check if the toe was bleeding. As expected. I saw blood.

(After taking the clothes in) Washed the wound, walked back to the room like nothing happened.

I thought things are fine. No pain anyway.

As I made another trip to the kitchen to get myself some water, I felt something wrong.

The wound on the toe wasn’t in pain, but the nerve connecting to it was! All the way to the knee! Gosh! WHAT’S HAPPENING!

Slightly swollen toe. =(

The pain was gone during dinner time. Thankfully.

But I felt another kind of pain. The kind of pain you get when you have blue-blacks.

And I can’t bend the toe.

Sigh.

I’ve made the first step. Making this blog a part of ping.sg.

Starting to wonder how geeky will I get? I’m like the only one in my dept who blogs? Though not the only one in the company.

Sometimes I wonder too.. how long will this internet craze last? I’ve had interest in internet since secondary school days, but no interest in blogging until 2003, despite having a diploma in Internet Computing. Such an irony. I remembered started blogging when I started reading Grouser’s blog. Got influenced by her to start blogging. And, yes u got it, not long after, I got myself this domain. But the only thing I do with it, is blogging (with 3 urls thus far).

Currently working in a digital agency, means my job scope is so digital that my babies are published on the internet. Sometimes work has gotten me so tired of the internet that I don’t feel like blogging (but I still LOVE reading blogs).

I’ve not been a fan of publishing my blog to public – this blog has been kept private from search engines since day 1. With the move to publish it on ping.sg, I wonder how different it can be. More people have access to this blog now, be it via search engine or via ping.sg, does that mean my blog content has to be changed?

Shall see how it goes. When there comes a day I want to hide away from too much publicity..

Yes I know.. I’ve not been posting regularly these days. The last proper update was one month ago.

But there are times I want to blog, yet was feeling lazy. Lack of motivation to edit the photos taken during company’s Away Day.

As usual in almost all my posts, many thoughts came but difficult to pen them down. Just not my style to blog about stuff that are too personal, or stuff that might spoil the very-nice-girl-next-door image that many of you have of me.

Have been clearing leave, since they can’t be brought forward to next year. I thought these 5 days was a good break. Really had the chance to relax, popped by lele’s house coz I missed him, fixed some pieces of the jigsaw puzzle that I bought 6 years back, cleared more episodes of a show that I’m currently watching. Spent the whole sunday night till this morning 6am helping friend with his school assignment. Felt tired but it was a good feeling. How I wish real life applications are as easy as those assignments.

Managed to have a good chat with the friend as well, another friend whom we seldom meet but yet still able to chat and discuss on issues I don’t usually do with others. Feels good. It’s like the burden being lightened.

Reflections done over the past 5 days as well. If I’ve not been a good friend, or a good cousin, don’t tell me. Haha.. I know I’m not a good sister, so there’s no need to add on to the list.

I’ve come to terms that life is really fragile. Finally gotten out of the depression period, something which I wouldn’t want to go through again. Six months of torture is enough. No more!

All I want now, is for the small boy to be able to have a smooth transition as he embarks on his new journey to primary school. It had been tough persuading him to wear his hearing aid, now that he’s used to it, next step is to help him cope with school. I know we can do it. He can do it. Coz he’s loved by all of us.

Enough rantings for now. Time to get ready for work tomorrow.
