I came home late last night to find that a new air-conditioner had been installed in my bedroom. Ah, cool cool bliss! :D

the unbearable feeling of heat

Yesterday, the air-con nearest my workspace was malfunctioning, the air-con in my bedroom was malfunctioning…… and so I suffered from overheating the entire day. :(

Know what kind of problem this is? You guessed it:

A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM.

It’s 1.22 am, they’re continuing preparations for the second day of a Malay wedding at our void deck (I think it was the first day yesterday), and the smells emanating from downstairs are absolutely heavenly……

Oh my!

The lizard startled me when it popped out from behind my desk once again – and missed the insect by a whisker.

Then he ran back behind my desk.

He peeked out a little just now.

I think my presence is disturbing him, so I’m off to bed.

I hope he does not go hungry tonight!

Five minutes ago, I noticed that the relatively large lizard (tan with a grey ‘www’ pattern), that lives on the ledge outside my window, emerged from behind my desk onto the wall.

(He always sneaks through my window when he thinks I don’t notice, but I often catch sight of him from the corner of my eye.)

Then I noticed an insect flutter just out of his reach.

Poor thing! He’ll have to go hungry tonight!

Then he noticed me observing him, and scuttled back behind my desk.

you are looking into my brain

Apparently nobody else wanted them, so my dad inherited my late grandma’s vintage furniture.

And so I gained a new wardrobe. Cleared my old one and passed it to my brother, whose stuff was previously in piles all over the place. Put all my clothes and bags in my new old wardrobe, and voila!
