water keeps falling

The weather has been rather unpredictable in a predictable way recently. Days differ but the pattern's there. So, today, most of Singapore is seeing silver threads of water falling continuously from the sky above. Noone should waste this weather attempting to do anything outdoors. The only sensible activity to do on a day like this is to stay home and sleep, or watch some DVD, or just read. Oh. Or play Majong. Or clean up the house.

That's what Dad is doing, I am going to do, Em is doing, Mum+Jasmine+Yanxian are doing, Janet (together with our part timer helper) is doing, respectively.

*looks like the majong session has ended.

It's a happy thing to buy books. Both for friends and for myself.

Chinese New Year is coming early next year. Spring cleaning has started in the house.

I need to start some time soon too...

No, I don't really feel this year has gone past so soon, time has passed so fast. What happened in January felt like it happened in January and what happened in November felt like it happened in well, November.

Maybe cos I really think my memory is getting selectively short these days. I can only vaguely remember most 'important/memorable' things that happened and if it's not something that I invested a lot of time and effort in, I tend to not remember at all. Emman often has to go, "Remember...? No?... Never mind, dear, never mind." Then, I would give him my sorry-I'm-clueless smile.

Nevertheless, I like it this way. Not making much effort to remember things that are supposed to be memorable. That goes the same for unhappy things. I find that I let go of the negative feelings, conversations that made me upset, things that made me disappointed... more easily now than before.

Lesser demands, lesser expectations... Everything that comes, will go eventually, sooner or later, with or without a reason, whether or not you can accept it. It's the order of life.

I suddenly remember a song from Avenue Q. Eveything is only for now... even George Bush is only for now. Now, it should be 'Was only for then'.
