I was looking back at the past 5 days of the week and the only words that came to mind is...Oh, what a week! Indeed, I am unsure how I can desribe this slow yet hectic week. It is dreary, I can say that without fail because... I had fallen ill. However, there are always some things in life that we can take solace in, aint that true? Well, that will definitely makes one feel better and i believe it to be so.

Coincidentally, this is also the week that contains a day in the calendar that is deemed as important by many. Feb 14 - Valentine's Day. Perhaps I am not part of a couple or because I am not in love or maybe it could be the fact that i am a realistic person, but i seriously consider the day and the significance of the "festival" to be overhyped. While we are on the topic, let's not forget that it is also "Friendship Day" - too bad eetat straight forwardly denoted it as crap. *sighs* Why do fools fall in love? Perhaps sometimes we all need to be a fool. Anyway, even though i am nobody's fool, i did something really dumb on V-day. Yes, despite being on MC and restng at home, i manage to do stupid things like recognising the wrong person(s) who sent me flowers. It is indeed an embarassment.

I just realised I always do stupid things. At work, I did something that i should not too. I refused to correct this mistake though and so, i guess one just have to live with their errors at times.

Putting aside dreary matters, happy matters to take solace in includes the sweet considerations of a special friend (look at the mask i got) among all other stuff. 

Sometimes, it doesnt takes much to keep me satisfied or happy.  

 *I got a limited-edition mask (one of its kind) and dear Gaspard gets to use it coz I do not want it to be sick like me too*

Definition of Transient:

1.	not lasting, enduring, or permanent; transitory.

2.	lasting only a short time; existing briefly; temporary:

All things are transient, that's what they all says. Sometimes, i wonder if things are really meant to be transient or are they transient becoz we allow them to be so. It is a sad theory either way.

Quote of the day: (I wonder how true it may be) 

"A slight touch of friendly malice and amusement towards those we love keeps our affections for them from turning flat."
Author: Logan Pearsall Smith

I have a strong belief that everyone should always keep that sense of amusement in order to take pleasure in life's every small matters (or almost anyway). Well, this morning I was much amused by the cute antics of my adorable mum who took the efforts to wash the soft toys (previously hidden in some dark corners and forgotten) and just the sight of the bears hanging upside down by the bathroom rack amuses me much. Such efforts coming from a masculine lady who doesnt give a care about soft toys (you guys know how the ladies of this manor detest softtoys - besides kerry of coz), and its a real amusing sight. 

Lately, life seems to have become monotonous. Queries such as "what is the meaning of life", something that i had stopped asking like a long ago, starts to resurface and made me question i-dunno-who, since the questions are never answered. My thoughts are jumbled and my mind is on a strike, refusing to address matters on hand. My fave past time of my past: staring into the space, is being relived. I am getting sick of work and the bottom line is, i don't know what to do with my life. What understatement of the universe indeed.

The above short clip as provided by Mr. Photographer is really interesting and touching. It inspires thinking and although there are certain issues/matters which i had put my mind to making a decision, i found myself wavering after watching the clip. Indeed, I need to re-consider my options and decide on what i really want. This is something which i am dreary of doing so since i always choose the easy way out.

*Sighs*

Yesterday was a leisurely afternoon spent with one of my oldest and dearest friend in the world. Indeed, i haven't met her for months and it just feels good to have that familarity that friends shared among each other. For me, that kinda familarity is comfort. Thanks, my dear, for a leisurely yet wonderful afternoon.

 *With Mei dear at Sushi Tei, Vivocity.

 *Yummy mouth-watering sashimi.

 *Miso soup & Seaweed salad (Mei's favorite).

*Grilled scallops (Disappointingly, it does not taste as good as the grilled scallop from Relations, which had closed down already).

*Steak sushi - absolutely yummy!

 *I particularly like this shot of Mei (we felt like food critics, taking pics of the food to post on blogs!).

 *Lim's Art @ Vivocity - one of the shop which always have the best decor around, thus, gaining my interest everytime i walk past it! This is the CNY theme, i supposed.

I was watching a TV drama just now and an actor quoted: "If you need to take time to consider if doing something is worthwhile, then you might as well not do anything."

That is indeed food for thoughts. Sometimes, i wish to be like a child. Doing things i want to do without thinking of any consequences, doing things just because. Those are the truest of true feelings, actions and self. More often than not though, we think too much and assume too much. Mayhaps, that is why we are all not as happy as we used to be. 

I am not happy indeed.
