Quaint Melody

As you can see, I haven’t been posting regularly as usual. I am going through moments of mental shut-down recently. Not feeling like going out or interacting with anyone, basically rejecting any form of social interaction. Just want to shut off of everything and live in my own shut down world. I think I’m going through a heavy case of social withdrawal syndrome right now. Normal self will be up and running in a few days.

Please pardon my craziness, I’ll go and stare at the walls for a little while.

I have over hundred of blogs on my RSS feed reader list. I used to read through these blogs almost daily, but I’ve been so busy lately that there is not much chance to blog-hop and leave a comment or two as often as I’d like. I love reading through the blogs for interesting articles and get a peek of what other people has been up to. It is my relaxing moment of the day, reading through, leaving comments and checking for any replies for my comments. I really hope to get back to the regular blog hopping routine soon. So, if you have not been seeing my name on your comment list, wait for me ya, that doesn’t mean I’ve gone MIA, I am just late.

I love to look into a child’s eyes, they tell wonderful stories, a story of innocence, when things are simpler and pure. Here, I leave you with a photo I took a long time ago, with my trusty old Nikon D50 SLR film camera. Happy Weekend!

p/s: Between busy schedules and sleep deprivation, I am officially burned out. Will spend the whole weekend resting. Thanks for those who has tagged me, will do them in a bit. Sorry for the delay ya! Normal posting will resume on Monday. Stay tuned!

Mr K and I were going through some photos today and a conversation between us went like this.

Me: Aiyo, these are not good photos at all.
MR K: What?! These are great photos, look at the back drop! It’s perfect!
Me: Are you kidding me? Look at me, I looked so fat! My face is not bright, and I…
MR K: But it’s beautiful!
Me: Ok, let me educate you something about women. When we look at a photo with us in it, we go straight to ourselves. If we don’t look good in it, it’s a bad photo, even if the backdrop is mount everest.
Mr K: That is ridiculous, have to look at it as a whole!
Me: That’s right, as a whole, if we don’t look good, nothing looks right.
Mr K: Woman can be so vain.
Me: Again, right.
MR K: ……

My fellow sista, agree or not?

funny conversation

I did not sleep well last night. The nice people over at CCTV inspections decided to do their pipe cleaning and inspections at 10pm. The loud noise continued to well after midnight at around 2am and started again at 5am! Are you freaking kidding me?! To create such loud noises at these hours in a residential area, on a week night no less! And guess what? It will continue to 12th of June. Yeah!

I am already sleep deprived! So I woke up this morning, lack of sleep, grumpy and frustrated. Let’s just say there’s a weird sight of huge panda walking around the metro area today.

It is 6am now and it’s 5 degree Celsius. I am freaking freezing! It’s not even winter yet.

I have been up since 3am. After turning and tossing in bed for a good half an hour, I knew I wasn’t going to fall asleep and decided to do some blog-hopping online instead. I use a RSS reader to keep track of all my blogs of interest. It has over a hundred blogs on the list. Have been quite busy and haven’t been able to read through all of them. So forgive me if I haven’t been coming to your blog and leave my two cents worth ya!

I love leaving comments and I love receiving them even more! Every time I get a notification email telling me I have a new comment, I’d be smiling with joy, with my adrenaline pumped up. I always make sure I reply all the comments that are left in my blog, as they are the results of someone taking their time to left their thoughts on things I wrote and I really appreciate that. So, thank you for all of you that have been commenting and keep them coming! You are making me very happy.

OK, I am freaking cold now and cannot think straight, have to go and sit next to my heater.

Yes, that’s our brand spanking new recycle bin. As you know, I wrote in my previous post that our recycle bin got stolen for the SECOND time. So there I was calling the city council telling them I needed another bin because my replacement got stolen again. The guy who answered the phone laughed out loud and said the new one would be delivered to me in 5-10 days. Judging by his laughter, I guess it happens a lot. There are a lot of ridiculous bin thieves out there. Bah! Somewhere out there, there’s a house fulled of new bins. Maybe the thief is trying to use the bins to build a big fort to set a Guinness world record. Ha.

Anyway, as you can see I have written our house number on both sides of the bin THICKLY with an extra-black marker. Hopefully this one won’t suffer the same fate with its peers.

Autumn is my favourite season of the year. Everything just seem to be more beautiful in this lovely time of the year. I love the luscious colours the season brings, the colder air, and the beautiful scenery. To me, autumn seems to bring along a more vivid world and enriches my imaginations. Went to the city today and captured some photos of the season’s grace. Hope you like them as much as I do.
