its been a week?!

You know how some people get really cranky and grumpy when they don't get their regular shag?

I'm like that. Only in my case, it's baking.

You would think that baking 10 cakes in 2 days for raya and all that would put me off baking for a long long while, but it hasn't. I haven't baked in about a week, and ooh, i do feel the void in my life. My gosh, most of my time must have been spent in the kitchen then, considering that I've found myself with too much time in my hands rather suddenly.

But nevermind, nature abhors a vacuum. And of course, the whole week has been a whirlwind of activities.

From Guy Fawke's Night having dinner and playing fireworks at David's... to having a whale of a time being super pampered by the guys next door because I was feeling rather miserable. To going with David and his dad to Trago Mills to pick out new decor for my room and have a lovely dinner at The George and then spending a night in Doreen's room after late night tea with Andy, Odil, Harry and Alvin. Oh, and Raymond gave me a haircut, too.

Very fulfilling life I lead. And I'm glad I actually started blogging. Else all these would be forgotten. And moments like these, though seemingly mundane, are the moments that we'll miss most when they're gone.

Come to think of it, it's not the big occasions in life that we miss, because when all is said and done, the little things that we take for granted that we miss most.. Long walks to Asda, Andy's tea and Gaby's coffee, slumber party at Sally's collectively melting into puddles of drool watching Johnny Depp in Ninth Gate, movie marathons on pajama parties, crying on each other's shoulders, hugs and kisses and cuddles from friends.

Whats life without those?

Wait don't answer that. I don't want to know.

But whatever it is, I am happy. I am content to know that whatever happens, I have people around me to look out for me when my eyes are blurry from the tears. I have people around me who will let me wallow in the mud for awhile, and wait for me at the sidelines with a clean towel to dust me off so that I'm all bright and shiny to face the world.

And I'm really thankful for that.
