I've got to admit, the week leading upto CNY was kind of depressing. Everyone was going away somewhere for the long weekend, and by the time I decided on the place(s) I wanted to go to, everything was booked and super expensive. Added to this, the Sri Lankan passport I own commanded the need for month-long visa procedures, so needless to say, I found myself stuck in Singapore for the holiday.
But it turned out to be one of the best long weekends yet.. And I was home alone, with the whole house to myself to do whatever I wanted *evil grin*...
So I pretty much set up camp in the living room, close enough to the kitchen to keep the supply of potato chips, grapes, cookies and juice going strong.. And right in front of the television, which a bit disappointing really, given our lack of cable, and with my laptop and a stack of assorted movies and books next to me :D Heaven in a 2 square metre area!
Other happenings that made the weekend even better: A spontaneous trip to the airport followed by a huge breakfast at 1pm, cooking my first decent meal of rice, dhal and assorted odds and ends (under supervision of course) and being too full to move for the rest of the afternoon, and CNY dinner at Beck's followed by a round of Black Jack that left most hong baos wiped out haha... :D
Going back to work today (specifically waking up in the morning today) was painful... If only we had more 4 day weekends! :(
