9:57 AM
Of frazzled nerves and reckless swerves.
I used to be able to be pretty much in control of myself. I ward off distractions and focus fairly easily. It's a blessing that I am truly grateful for. But lately I seem to have been robbed of that ability, and I don't like it one bit.
This afternoon at home I caught myself just in time when I realised that I had put a potentially explosive porcelein bowl into the microwave and set the timer ticking. Thank God, oh thank God. I stopped the timer immediately and stood there for a while. I've never put this bowl into the microwave before. What was I thinking?
Then I reached out and opened the cupboard on the right for the sugar, but saw the soy sauce instead. Oh right, the sugar's in the left cupboard. What was I thinking? Lots, apparently.

Recently I just qualified myself as a bona fide member of the youtube generation by signing up for an account and uploading some videos of my own. After the registration process, I was directed to my account page.
You have nothing in your video log. (ok that's fine with me)
You have no favourites. (doesn't bother me)
You have no subscribers. (no prob, I still think my videos rock.)
You have no friends.(......oh.)
No kidding, I literally paused for a few moments as those 4 words kept replaying in my mind. Does youtube have to be THAT harsh? Technically the most attractive step to take next would be fleeing to friendster and clicking furiously on "You have 278 friends."
But hey, I'm not THAT insecure.

Last night I lounged in front of the TV taking in programme after programme of frivolous entertainment. But amidst all of that, a line from After Hours caught my attention.
You have ignored a woman's emotions, and that, in her dictionary, is a capital offense.

Tomorrow sees a group of three happily flying to the beautiful island of Krabi. Have fun please. :) You'll be in my prayers, and you'll be sorely missed. Awaiting your return. LYDDDD!
