Dear Heart,

You are unwell at the moment. I know. While I usually rationalise to try to make sense of all these madness, you feel the effects most acutely for you emote.

I can’t profess that I know what’s bugging you. Perhaps it’s stress or the moon’s placement. It might even be the fall of the fortress where you’ve kept yourself locked up for so long that’s causing this vulnerability.

I spent the weekend agonising if I should write and lay bare my thoughts.

I’m still contemplating…

“Let’s meet and catch up soon”, he messaged on Facebook.

“Sure!” was my response and we left it at that – just another polite exchange.

Months passed and out of the blue, I received a sms from an unfamiliar number asking if I was free for lunch. Being one who usually ignores all calls and smses while I’m at work, I was piqued to find out who it was…

“J” was the reply.

So for the first time in the last couple of weeks, I stepped out of the office… for lunch!

Today I am utterly horrified!

I was picked up while having a ciggie break.

It was a young Swedish chap, rather cute, a finance adviser (or so he says) who has only been here for 3 days… He mistook me as a fellow foreigner.

Slight melancholy… a lil down.

Uh oh! The fortress cannot fall!

I’ll gladly and willingly attribute it to Monday blues.

Since I intend to go to sleep with a smile… I’ll look out the window and hopefully I can see stars against the backdrop of the night sky. Then I will smile… and remember.

I’ve been awake for a while now
You’ve got me feelin’ like a child now
‘Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tinglees in a silly place

It starts in my toes
And I crinkle my nose
Wherever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time
Wherever you go

I don’t quite know how to start this entry…

I’ve been through a slew of emotions today – stressed, distracted, exhausted amongst others. Now I’m readying myself to be hit by the sneezy snotty bug. The head feels heavy and the nose seems somewhat blocked. Doesn’t bode well in all aspects.

Actually I feel like having a shoulder or chest to lean against… Sigh.

Except, I’ve been trained well, to be without, so instead I have my trusty lil diaper-wearing care bear confidante sitting on my lap whilst I am typing away on this keyboard.

So let’s see…

A few days have passed without a single blog post. Shame on me! Looks like it’s gonna take sometime before I get into gear again.

Let’s start with something I meant to write last week.

You see, I received the biggest compliment of 2009 so far! From none other than the “fan” who happen to owe me some drinks and shall be referred to as “jaffa” in this post.

I’m lazy to paraphrase so I’ll just post part of the conversation here…

I’m known as quite the semi-heretic… or so I like to think. But the thing is, I do believe in the powers that be…

It so happens that I am quite the blind bat as well so every time I’ll be sure to ask in all earnestness to have the blindness lifted from my eyes should there be a sign or something I should note.

Well, yeah… so obviously the signs came to me in the most glaringly cannot-be-missed ways possible.
