Nostalgia
Trip cancelled due to the unrest in Thailand. I didn't cancel my leave though. I still want my much-needed rest. Been too buried in work. Colls are nice to search for an alternative for me since I can't go on this trip. Even brought me to Coach sale during lunch today for some retail therapy. But I didn't buy anything cos I would rather get from the US now. They kept chiding me, warning me not to access email from home during my leave. Dun wanna see me replying 2am at night. Haha... It has become a bad habit I think. Can't stop thinking abt work.Wah, coll from another dept juz called me. Kanchiong spider thought we haven't released all the instructions for the transfer. It's a major transfer this time round and I do hope I have everything right. Ok enough abt work for now...

Feeling nostalgic all of a sudden. I thought of the time you picked me up from work last week. I casually mentioned that I missed the Bedok bah chor mee and you just brought me there w/o a word. When we were seated, you went to order and I was just expecting the noodles and drinks. But plates of food arrived one after another. All my favorites - fried oyster egg, roasted chicken wings, otars. So much that we couldn't finish...
Then at the petrol kiosk, you went in to pay at the counter while I waited in the car. Again, you came back with surprises - Her World and Cleo. Not knowing that I am still subscribed to Cleo, you have bought an extra copy. Still rem U were the one who first started me on Cleo by subscribing it for me and I continued to do so year after year. Thanks for remembering all my favorites :)
After that, it was chilling out at Starbucks of Siglap. Everything seems exactly like the past. But it feels different though. Perhaps cos I'm no longer the little gal schooling but is now an office lady. Perhaps time has also drifted us apart. Perhaps perhaps...
Anyway, U got me wondering. Are you really the only one who could tolerate all my nonsense as what my dad said? Are you the only one who will always give in to me and treats me like a little princess? Are you the only one who will never flare up at me? Are you the only one who can purely take me for who I am w/o expecting any changes from me?
Hmmm... I hope someone can tell me that the ans to all of the above is NO.
I COULD HAVE STOPPED CARING.
BUT WHY DIDN'T I?
