I just wolfed down my dinner, yes, I don't mean that I turned into one and ate my meal but yes, I ate it without savouring every bite, just gulping action throughout.
I was that hungry. You see, what happened was that I tried to be miserly to my own stomach and tried to diet today. Usually I don't because I like to eat and actively exercise.
The true motive of dieting was to save some pocket money.
With the weekends looming near, I knew that some extra cash would be handy for my outings with my friends.
I started my day by going to work. As usual for the past 2-3 weeks, I took the train to Bishan, arrive at 9am, registered my IC at the security guard booth at my work building, then spend at least 3 minutes waiting outside the office because the lock requires the thumbprint of full time employees.
Despite the doors being made out of glass, people inside usually have their eyeballs glued to their computer screens and being as busy as a bee.
I wait for the next colleague to arrive, greet them cheerfully (oh joy! I can finally enter), then go in.
I seat myself in the meeting room, prepare my laptop for work then eat my breakfast.
Today's breakfast consisted of a mamee noodle snack and a square of chocolate.
:D
Yes im being miserly today stomach! you better handle it!
So there i was, being a busy bee with work: data entry, filing, checking.
THEN the hunger kicked in at 11am. Hunger kicked in fast and when you least expect it, like a ninja. It kicked my stomach pretty good too.
I drank some water to alleviate it, after all, it was just another hour to lunch, I could last this out...
Yes im being miserly today stomach! you better handle it! No rich with assorted dishes today! No hokkien mee! No indonesian fried chicken set lunch with spicy soup! NO DEEP FRIED SWEET POTATO FRITTERS!
For lunch: Jam sandwich with a fresh apple and a gingerbread cookie in the shape of a pine tree.
I ate them and then sheepishly took quick glances at my colleague's lunch: Tom Yum fish soup with rice and spicy pickles.
you can pretty much picture this in your head, that i am in fact a silly boy. Sadly yes... But for more pocket money to spend during the weekends! Hmmph! thats enough reason to be that foolish!
Then you ask, since I'm working, why am I so short of money?
Well, i haven't gotten my wages yet, that's all. :)
Eh, not everyone is lucky enough to receive so much pocket money from your parents.
then i continued work after 1pm
I left work at 6pm, reached home ravenous.
so that was how my day pretty much was.
pretty interesting right? no?
aw...
i had a really weird but happy dream last night. Everything took place in a school that was non-existent in reality. The best part was that person X appeared and hugged me. I have not seen person X in more than 2 months, who proceeded to hugged me from behind and wouldn't let go. In that moment, i felt so surprised and happy. We both smiled at each other... then i forgot the rest of the dream.
I woke up to find my blanket hugging me instead. Laughs
what a weird dream, i had plenty of deja vus before, so will this happen one day too?
signing off.
