Dear Readers,
Okay I have fallen off the map again. My bad.
Do you ever have days where (when?) you know you have things to do but you rather curl up in your bed and rot?
Exactly.
Lots of things have happened this last month. I had 3 layoffs (as in I had to have the ‘we have to let you go’ speech 3 times), I had a dispute with a supplier, um, 3 groups of friends visited me, and um, so far i’ve had ZERO terribly bad days!
This is a huge improvement.
Last weekend was a whirlwind, Wels, Kathy, Gilbert (if you guys remember my singapore blog, they are my singapore Elizabeth Towers family) William, Lea and Marcus came on thursday night. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so nice to see everyone (everyone minus William and Lea. I can’t stand them) Especially Marcus!! I haven’t seen him in 7 months!
It was non-stop hussle and bussle til Saturday morning when they left. I really gotta get myself a digital camera because I hardly took any photos!
Grr.
I dropped them off at the airport (ahh, so sad to say goodbye again, I just wanted to cling on and keep them here with me, or have them whisk me away to singapore) and then rushed to meet Jeab and Neha for lunch, took photos in the park (I LOOK HORRIBLE) then met Rachel for dinner!
Phew!
I slept half of Sunday.
Something bugged me the whole day. Yesterday, Dad casually said that people born with beauty marks/moles on their shoulder means that they always carry a burden. And just as he said that, we all checked our shoulders and
I WAS THE ONLY ONE WITH A BEAUTY MARK ON MY SHOULDER.
Actually, Dad doesn’t believe in this stuff, but says we shouldn’t fight it. Maybe I will get it removed sometime this year.
I really do feel that I have the weight of the world on my shoulders.
Dad says that family isn’t a burden, and I guess I agree, family is my responsibility.
Lots of my friends say that this is the way I am, regardless of how chips fall into place, I would had taken this responsibility anyways. But on rare occassions, I have guilty wishful thoughts that this responsibility isn’t mine to have.
I’m serious about my shoulder pain,
Off to bed,
Stacy
