The Dust Starts to Settle!

It has just been 65 days since I came back from Beijing and 11 days since my guy said his goodbyes to all things familiar (including me *sobBBB*) to him in his 30 day stay with me.

It has been a busy good two months for me, but yes, the dust has finally started to settle down.

As I blog, am sitting here in my study room, eating one of the tropical delights of my country - honey nangka (aka jackfruit) bought in Tesco for RM6 (pretty expensive huh!). It's one of the tastiest fruit that I've ever sunk my teeth into. I swear I can finish the whole pack (9-10 pieces inside) and probably a second pack in one night alone. Am trying to recall what other fruits that I'm so crazily in love with (Sorry, babes....hehe), and the only answer that I come up with is, watermelon and the pink jambu. But am not so crazy about them, but honey nangka, whoo weee.... I made such frequent stops to my previous local fruit shop to enquire on their availability, that they asked me to leave my phone number. Go try some yourself. You'll love it but remember, HONEY nangka and not the normal ones.

Am done with most of my unpacking, YAY!!!!! Except still for the kitchen - am still cooking on temporary hobs. Don't ask, it's a long long story. It's a pretty small condo - probably about 600sq ft with a open space area for the kitchen, one bathroom, and two rooms which one has already been turned into a study room/ partial store. Those who have been to my previous house would understand the amount of junk that I have - and yes, I officially hate moving, and dread the day that I would have to move away from this little place of mine. Honestly, I got this place because it had great facilities - Gym, Squash Courts, Swimming pool!!!

P/s: My future visitors would either have to bunk right next to me in my bed (Disclaimer: Provided its not already filled up by my darling!) or the sofa. And my sofa is BIG! (Yes, my sofa - not my bed! Better that, than my bed...haha....) Hmm, I still wonder if I should have a housewarming, or maybe a BBQ party at the swimming pool. (Sorry guys, the gals will not be decked out in bikinis much to your disappointment!). Hmmmmm...

ANYWAYS, today, Nemo officially has two new partners in crime - a Coral Banded Shrimp and a Sailfin Tang. (Yes, I have a two feet saltwater aquarium at home! My own little piece of the ocean.) I had always wanted to put an end to Nemo's lonely bachelor life. He didn't seem too appreciative about it today. Ever got attacked by Nemo before? Well, I did - NUMEROUS times this evening. And it actually did hurt. Yes, I am such a baby but talk about literally "Biting the hand that feeds you". I would have thought that such a small little thing like that would have fear for hands 10 times bigger than him, mind you, both of my hands were in the tank, but NOoOOOo, he went for them anyways. Small kids bully me, and apparently, small fishes as well.

As we speak, Nemo is suspiciously eyeing the shrimp, bobbing up and down from a safe distance. I hope the Sailfin survives her seven days quarantine. She was playing dead in the first five minutes in her makeshift home - a red pail. Sea creatures are such fascinating creatures - I could sit for hours watching them.

My days recently have been very focused on establishing a comfy zone. Am trying to get some sense of routine into my life these couple of days in preparation for a bigger "purpose". And yes, am also trying to fill up the empty space left behind by a certain someone. It was nice having someone in the house to bump into, to say good morning and good night to, to share a tea session or ice cream session with, to listen to various random unexpected noises and expressions all day and night, to have a smile returned, to watch him sleep peacefully next to me.....Yeah, I definitely got used to the good life.

It is more difficult than I thought it would be to get used to this quietness in the house - I leave the music in the daytime blaring loudly and proceed with my day, and yet, it still doesn't feel the same. Something is missing, someone is missed.

But life still goes on - we both have things to accomplish at our side of the world. Until then, patience is the key word.

All good things come to those who wait. And thus, I shall wait.

What???!! Again???!!! ^%!#$!# Argghh!!!!

I am only kidding. haha. Of course, I shall wait - Anything for you, Babes.

(Hopefully, not for too long. Come back, come back where ever you are! =P)
