air purifier

Was online chatting with Laura today, and we were on the topic of how romantic guys are almost extinct in this day and age. She was relating her Mr Romantic story then she asked me: "Is Danny romantic?"

My reply? "He's romantic, but in a practical way."
Laura: "???"

Haha, let me explain. Case and point, scenario which happened recently. He came over to my place saying that he needed to take some basketball shorts from my place. But his hidden agenda was to actually pass me this air purifier thing (the one that swooshes water inside it, with some aromatherapy thingie as well). See, he's romantic in a practical way. Not that I'm complaining, but his mind does work in wonderous ways, no? Haha

Am kinda losing motivation at work again. I call this the 'new job syndrome'. My initial excitement for any new job dies down within the first month, and I'm back to wondering whether I shld jump ship yet again. The good thing is, I'm still young and I can afford to do so. The bad thing is, if I keep doing this, I will never garner enough experience to understand a particular industry well enough. Not that I'm complaining about my new job, but it's just that I seem to lack the motivation to do anything, especially when there's no one to breathe down my neck at work. Some people would love to be given the freedom at work that I currently enjoy, but I can't seem to appreciate it enough; I seem to be always craving and wanting that which other people possess. Sounds kinda 'wolf-spirit' like eh? Geee

Come to think about it, the only job where I didn't suffer from 'new job syndrome' was when I was working as a waitress at Country Manna. Perhaps that's my true calling - to serve and take flak from nit-picking customers. Haha.

Went to Bukit Batok Nature Reserve yesterday on the spur of the moment. Then after we scaled the reserve where we saw tons of extremely cute and panicky squirrels, as well as birds and a baby monitor lizard, we went on to scale Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. By golly, the road there is damn steeeeeep. Been so long since I've exercised and all that inclined walking really had me exhausted. And after that, it was back to Bukit Batok for some basketball.

And I can truly say that Ah Dan has lost her skill. Haha. Ah Dan can no longer 'dan' the ball as and when and score. In fact, Ah Dan shld be changed to 'tyco siao eh' instead. When I take a shot with aim, it doesn't go in. But when I shoot without aiming, it surprisingly goes into the basket. Darn man.

Was tired of watching the guys play so I went for a jog, and I was glad to have run more than I had expected, which was initially only 1 round. In fact, I'm proud to announce, I made 4 rounds! haha. All very slow runs but hey, at least I pushed myself, yeah?

This Saturday will be our 2 and a half months baby! Woohoo!
