BUSY BEE

wow. may was unexpected busy for me. time seemed something that i was always short of. one constant situation i kept finding myself in was rushing. i was always in a rush; of finishing a task and of from a place to another. my days off were the same, zooming from a place to another with no time for any photography sessions at all. the so-called free time i had i spent it with the boyfriend, if not, at the gym and the spa.
my hand-me-down car seemed like fighting its last stage of cancer. those three trips to the maintenance centre didn't really help. dad's reckoning it was shuuhei's 2008 crash showing its effects. i thought a mazda sedan would be sexy for me though dad thought otherwise. 'why?' he asked over dinner last night and i lied (e.g. i don't need the space; easier to maneuver a smaller car around blah, blah) but he didn't buy. he egged on getting a new suv. of the same model. the chinese in me sighed 'aiyo'.
btw, oli's eta next week. whoopers.

SUNNY ON MY CLOUDY DAY

somehow pippen is now called major pippen mclarry i don't know what transpired.
pippen's behaving like a human and thinks the couch is his. he swept mom off her feet and mom is contemplating to take him home but shuuhei ain't budging.
my sabbathical plan is pretty much on the way. Papers are submitted, the bosses are encouraging, the parents are too (although you can feel 'that' aura around them). the boyfriend is torn in two while the best friend isn't too happy. but i reckon it's gonna be a short posting; 4 months max.
another good news is another best friend from the west is visiting (on business trip-cum-holiday) next month. whoopers. a very nice arrangement before i leave for fieldwork again.
