Weekends..

Weekends.. Weekends! I look forward to weekends. Days where I can sleep in, getting into the routine of morning swims and generally laze around, not having to do anything. I am not the type who like to pack a tight schedule for weekends and maybe because I do not have a lot of friends to begin with so I am "spared" from having to entertain and catch up with a lot of people. Last weekend I slept late on Friday night, listening to old pop songs. Grooving to the beat of songs from Backstreet Boys to TLC and Aqua. While SS was trying to get me to play songs from Pet Shop Boys which I never heard of.  Then came Saturday where we had to attend my ex-colleague wedding dinner. It was great seeing them and catching up with them, including SOC.  They still look good. One of them still look hot and sexy despite being a mother of three. She almost seems ageless. The night ended with a little drama on my side while getting home. Nearly crashing into the road barriers as no cars gave way for me to filter into their lane.  Sunday was out the whole day. Swimming in the morning followed by sale shopping at expo and supermarketing. We were dead tired by the end of everything. Work been busy and was slightly more relaxed this week and it was bad news on my waistline. As my team then wanted to go out enjoy food before the madness starts again next week. When we are busy, we sat the whole day and eat at our desks. When we are not busy, they want to enjoy food. Equally disastrous on wallet.  On the way to work daily, I often see this tall guy on his tiny vespa zipping by. It was pretty amusing to see a tall guy slouching over his vespa. It felt as though if he was to brake hard, he might just flip forward.  Often I grumbled and complain to SS about the lousy commuters I encountered daily ranging from smelly commuters to inconsiderate ones. But I realized the smelly commuters might not be smelly themselves. It was due to the seats that were dirty and transferred onto the clothes. On some occasions, I would be wedged on both sides and dragged into the trains by commuters not wanting to wait for the next train. On one occasion, I was dragged in and the door closed right behind me. When I tried to shift a little in the tiny space around me, I realized I couldn't. The doors caught some of my hair when it closed. I was trapped.  Luckily that the doors opened again and I quickly pulled my hair to the side as the doors closed one last time.  Onto other things. One night in the kitchen, I was preparing my sandwich breakfast and I opened a drawer. I saw something startled and moved. I too was startled and slam back the drawer, thinking it might be a cockroach. Moments later when I was more composed, I opened the drawer again slowly and saw it more clearly. Yup, a cockroach stomping around among the ladles. I was at a loss of what to do. I couldn't spray insecticide into the drawer and I totally scared of them. Quietly I closed the drawer with my feet (ready to bolt should it ran out suddenly) and quickly do my bread, fearing the cockroach may run out from some corners to get some bread. This weekend was generally quiet. We had our swim with another friend and went for shopping at expo again. We just burnt a hole in our pockets. But they were good buys. So hope it justify. On Friday though, I caught up with SOC. It been a long time since we spent time together alone. He got a bike to commute to work and I was happy to be his pillion rider, though it was a little scary. Perhaps not used to the speed on bike as compared to being in a car. Had nice dinner chatting away at Keppal Bay and going to Lab. park for a stroll. We were quite surprised to see a number of people mingling around at the park. Guess I did miss seeing and spending time with him after so long. Spent a few hours being in each other company. Time flew by being with him. Soon we had to leave. I hope to see him again soon.  SS has been very sweet too. Breakfast in bed.  Giving in to my whims and fancies. I love the guys in my life.

Had nice dinner chatting away at Keppal Bay and going to Lab. park for a stroll. We were quite surprised to see a number of people mingling around at the park. Elf, just a caution to be very generous with mosquito repellant on any exposed skin when you walk along the water-front there by Labrador Park. I go running down there sometimes and even though I'm not especially delicious to mosquitoes - smile - they practically eat me alive if I don't slather on repellant. That may be the single worst place for mosquito bites that I have experienced in Singapore. I imagine elf-flesh would be practically irresistable to the swarms of pests. Bad enough that they bite you, but dengue is always a possibility as well. Nice place - just remember to protect yourself.
