I have two toilets upstairs in my house, one in my parents room and another just outside my room, my toilet.

Because my observant mother noticed an ever growing dark patch on the ceiling just above the dining table, she called the plumber to come down, and yes, of course, there was a leak in the toilet upstairs that was dripping down to the ceiling underneath.

And so they began their work. Initially it was just my toilet, so I was relegated to bathe in my parents toilet (with no water heater mind you), so I had to bear with the initial wave of cold much akin to the feeling of the first shower blast on a hot sunny day before jumping into the pool. Stark contrast. But anyway, I survived. And now, as I am writing this, I can feel the reverberations of them drilling in the walls of the toilet, changing the sink which was old and needed to be changed as well…

(This is much like going shopping just to buy a pair of shoes but coming home with shoes, clothes, bags, tops, dresses, skirts)

Well anyway, new sink, and new tiles for me in the toilet. And I have had to cancel my meeting in the afternoon because the tiles in my parents room are still drying, the sink in my toilet is being changed, and so I can’t bathe in time to get there.

HAHA.

My mother says I am a sloth because my room always transcends itself from a somewhat neat (that’s to me, but somewhat messy by her standards), to a somewhat messy (still bearable to me), to an unbearable mess of sloth (that ‘breeds cockroaches’, in her words).

 My mum needs to read Personality Plus, so she will understand her personality type, and my personality type (the parts that are different). I am a Choleric-Sanguine, and she is a Choleric-Melancholy. In short, the sanguine part of me is (a little) messy, and the very Melancholy part of her needs to be sure everything is clean and in perfect order. Needless to say, the two types don’t really get along when it comes to organising things in the house..

Now don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a good thing to be neat. It’s just that… somehow, as hard as I try, the neatness never stays. But to please her, and to make my room a bit more presentable if anyone ever comes over, it is now back to its ’somewhat neat’ state.

What a mindless post.

I like my new criss cross. =) And the inside is pretty too.

See, it’s easy to make me happy. (Well, sometimes =))

Remember my dream last night and lets make that real. It was reinforced by the sharing we heard just now. A, B, C.

Nobody has any idea what I am talking about.

…Tell me what you’re doing on a day to day basis, and I’ll tell you if you’re going to be successful in future.

Someone told me this today and it’s really significant to me.

Daily deliberate action.

We attended my cousin’s wedding on Saturday, both the church wedding in the morning, and the wedding dinner later that evening.

 Weddings are so beautiful, some more beautiful, and some more touching than others, but always a momentous occasion..with snipets that always remain etched in memory.

And the few things that were significant to me;

My cousin, a public speaker and top notch debater, the one with a word for anything, was so overwhelmed with..I dunno, choked up emotions of happiness I guess? At the man standing before her, that she forgot the wedding vows. And this just made things a whole lot sweeter, because later during the dinner when they played the video of the wedding, I noticed that he was actually mouthing the vows to her so she wouldn’t forget them again… it’s things like these that make girls’ hearts melt, it’s always the small things that make us swoon. It’s always the small, sometimes seemingly insignificant things that make all the difference in the world.

I believe sometimes people get married, then they wait to have kids because they want to do things like focus on their careers, live life first, before they settle down with kids, etc. I think it’s purely up to the individual (or couple) to decide whether or not this is a good decision, these are purely my own views.

 Yes, I think circumstances sometimes may have an effect on the way we live our lives, but I also feel that circumstances always exist. There’s always a reason why not to do this, why not to do something else. Why not to get married, why not to have kids, why not, why not, why not.

I choose to change perspective on those two words, and simply say, “WHY NOT?”

There’s always going to be something happening in our hectic lives, there’s always going to be a reason that holds us back, I shouldn’t buy this or I shouldn’t take a step forward, lets wait till circumstances get better, lets wait, lets just wait.

Sometimes one just needs to step out on faith, and realise that circumstances always exist, it is perspective that differs. At the risk of sounding completely superficial at this point in time, after an attempt to sound vaguely profound, I will cite this as a slightly related example.

I like to joke, everytime we’re out, and we see a jewellery store,

 ”Where’s my diamond ring?” (of course, I had told him previously that I only want a 1 carat and above diamond ring, which traditionally costs around $15k)

So when we passed Citig*ems that day and I saw a pretty diamond ring in the window, I told him,

 ”Hey I like that ring! It’s only $3000.” (No, $3000 is Not a small sum to me, but it’s all on a relative scale as compared to $15000)

And he replied, “But that’s Citig*ems” (referring to the fact that it isn’t a top jewellery designer store like Tiffany and Co or the like)

Ok no one will have gotten my point up to this stage. My point is, that you don’t have to wait until you can afford a $15k or $20k or $100k ring. You can always buy me a nice, pretty, more reasonably priced one with quality to boot for its own standing, and then when u can afford more, you know what to do.

That is my point in this whole post.

HAHHAHAAAA
