It's been such a great week, despite some minor setbacks (I call them minor setbacks today because I am choosing not to see it as the major f***-ups of yesterday). It's been such a great week because of so many random events that happened for no reason at all, except to make my day.
Like bumping into the nicest stranger, once for her to do me a favour and once again for me to return it. Like the cab driver who saved me from the fumblings of another one, to deliver me to a very important appointment, just in the nick of time. Like a great review from a reader just when I was about to feel very crappy about the Internet in general.
Like pictures like this. Or this.
Like making macaroni and cheese (cheddar and emmenthal, just because you feel like it). Like eating junkfood all the time, because your other 4 female colleagues are slim, junkfood-eating junkies. Like looking forward to watch "Kuliah Cinta" for 'research'.
Like the fact that in the last 2 weeks, I saw the same bright yellow scooter with the two Persian cats (one perched behind the rider and one on the scooter footrest), twice... blaring hip-hop one night and techno the next morning.
Or like the time I caught myself saying, "I could relate to the book, except for the whole two kids and Jesus Christ thing..."

Posted by: Idlan at 2004年02月13日 16:57Counting my blessings (even the simplest and smallest of them) is something that I always do when I feel down. It reminds me that great things did happen and things aren’t that bad at all. I have "My book of Acknowledgement" where i write down all the good things that happened to me. Something I picked up from a seminar and it work wonders for me. If you can rejoice in the small things, it's a sign that your soul is alive. Have a great weekend!!

Posted by: meesh at 2004年02月13日 18:34Anyone interested in doing a "research" meet one of these weekends? {I was advised to go with A LOT of ppl to drown out the noise I'll be making...}
Posted by: Najah at 2004年02月13日 21:30the smallest thing can certainly made me smile... like a small sparkling expensive diamond. :)
Posted by: lucia at 2004年02月14日 00:39Bayah, planning to go within the next two weeks. Will buzz u abt the details.
Posted by: Najah at 2004年02月15日 23:33Will write a brief note to Yusuf Haslam to make sure he releases a typical 'research' movie for Summer 2004, then.
Then I can tell my supervisor I did 'research' when I came home for the holidays!
