Right here, right now
So just right now I was thinking about the moments that made me smile in the last week and I realised that it is the little, old-fashioned pleasures that made me recollect with a wide, wide grin:
1. Cycling at east coast, wind in my hair, sipping sugar cane juice while watching the sunset.
2. Strolling into haig road hawker centre for our fave sliced fish and homemade ice lemon tea. Ah, soul food. That’s my little tradition with my good friend.
3. Pinic at the Botanics, twice! 4 of us with 4 boxes of the best pizza in the world and growing all silent once we began devouring the pizza from Casa Verde.
4. Driving along the expressway when “Hey, Jude” comes on and we exclaim in unison because it’s Jude’s song.
With the exams drawing near, we’re planning one last blast before we charge towards that finishing line. With a flood of deadlines and a series of co-curricular commitments, I am driven to planning and scheduling each week/ weekend. What I miss most really, is doing things spontaneously, on the spur of the moment. So l said yes immediately after the fabulous flea asked if I was up for cycling after our bakefest this weekend. I have all these little plans and thought bubbles in my head (mostly about fun stuff and sometimes about unresolved areas in the law because I am a geek like that) and this weekend, I’ll be taking one of my first, preliminary steps towards acting on my plan to be less like Hurricane Katrina and maybe a bit more like Julie in the kitchen. Wish me luck 
(Will not be updating this for awhile till the exams are over, sch is reeling me in but I am lovin’ every moment. Then again, I always say I won’t update and somehow I find myself back here!)
