Ridiculously late now and I have work tmr, but only just showered not long and my hair is far from dry..

Packing the house has really activated muscles which I never knew existed. In other words, I'm aching like I just ran a marathon.

Okay, maybe not that bad. Seeing as how I've never tried running anything near a marathon before. Haha.

Just came down from the rooftop, and it took my breath away.

I did say before that I don't think I ever want to own a landed property in this lifetime (and probably won't be able to), but the rooftop kind of swayed my supposedly firm decision.

Sitting on the lounge chair, staring into the distance and gazing up at the vast expanse of night sky..I wonder why didn't I try going up there earlier. It's my first time up there since moving in, and the experience is nothing short of amazing.

Pity the sky is so cloudy tonight..or I might be able to see my starlit night sky! Even just stepping out of my room on the 1st level, the orion constellation is right above me. What more up at the rooftop? =)

And I suspect that I can catch the sunrise and sunset up there too..maybe not in their full brilliance, but still decent enough in a city land like singapore. Happiness. =)

And ohh! Happiness is when you end work before the sun sets! Make that double happiness when you reach home before the sun sets. Haha. I was so happy to zao early today that I actually captured a shot of the evening sky at 6.35pm as I was leaving office. Lol.

Not that I left early to attend some happening event..the most happening thing in my life now is packing the house for moving on sunday. Tireddddd! Don't know how many nights in a row I've done this..

And damn it, I got my first summon today la! Baskett! What more at my own house carpark..okay fine, so I no longer have season parking there. But I put coupon!

One half-hour coupon. Haha.

Should have expected that it would happen sooner or later..20 freaking buckeroos leh! Shucks man. I can't be placing my entire booklet of coupons in the car just because I'm shifting house right. Engaging movers is already expensive enough!

I am sooo going to appeal against that fine. Refuse to pay 20 bucks!

Regardless of whether it's my fault or not. Bleahh.

Quite lucky that this week not as hectic as usual..if not, no way I'd be able to leave before 8pm and chiong home to pack.

I think next week's going to be horrific though..all the new projects coming my way and clients starting to get on my nerves. Pui.

Can't wait for cny! Heard that maybe we'll get a week off, just like our suppliers. Ultimate happiness can! Hope my other boss agrees! And pray super duper hard that our clients don't demand for things during the cny week. *pray pray pray pray pray!* =D

Feel like leaving the country during that week if my holiday break really materialises..but abit last minute notice, and don't think I have friends who can just take sudden leave to go travelling for a few days.

Have this urge to go cambodia suddenly..I really wanna just visit that beautiful place again, immerse myself in the different lifestyle there, visit the darling students I've missed and properly tour angkor wat. And of course, shop in siem reap!

I don't know why am I so drawn to that country when so many people who have holidayed there before would rather not go again. Maybe it's because the very first time I went there on OCIP trip, the experience was out of this world. And it literally took me out of my comfort zone, the place I've called home all my life.

Surprisingly, I liked it. Alot. Took some getting used to, but if I could have a getaway like that maybe once a year, I'd like to think that I'll learn to cherish and appreciate what it is that I have here in my life in singapore.

Of course, I guess a huge part of that unforgettable experience were the people I went with as a team..the bonds forged..the joy..the tears..and the special friendships with the cambodians. =)

I really, really want to go back there again. Whether OCIP or otherwise.

Feel better today, maybe cos' the weekend's here. Although I have to work, and I'm going to spend both days moving, at least I have the gathering tomorrow to look forward to! Hope I get to go..see how packing progresses.

And each day that passes is countdown to cny! No matter how quiet and different it's going to be, it's still cny after all..a huge event to all chinese. A huge event in my life I've come to love and enjoy.

I shall do the same this time round. And somehow still hope that I get to go travelling. Anyone free? Haha.

Happiness is not by chance, but by choice. Remember, geri...remember.
