a perfect weekend

I practically live for the weekend, but don't all of us corporate slaves do? I have a strict no-work weekend (with exceptions when urgent matters come about of course)(a bit guilty about this rule cos it's not like I pour everything into work during the week--Exhibit A: most Fridays). I used to be out and about on the weekends esp with church stuff for years but these days, a perfect weekend goes something like this:

Fri night - staying up til 3am catching up on my favorite TV shows
Sat morning/noon - brunch with hubby (if he's in) or sleeping in till noon (if he's out/traveling)
Sat afternoon/evening* - no tuition, pottering about the house, cleaning or meeting up with the girls
Sat night - church and/or dinner with hubby and/or best buds
Sun morning/noon - mamak breakfast before church, quick lunch and then coffee and desserts
Sun evening - quick nap on my cool living room floor and then dinner with parents
Sun night - lazing around at home, preferably not having to dread Mon morn

*bonus for Saturday if hubby's not around: not having to talk to anyone until evening (Whatsapp's okay) - I've had a few "silent Saturdays" and they were awesome!



Priscilla Ahn - A Good Day (Morning Song)

Morning, sunrise, open my eyes,
And I can tell it's gonna be a good day,
I can tell it's gonna be a good day

Did you sleep well? Did you dream at all?
Can you tell me the time on the the alarm clock?
I can tell it's gonna be a good day
I can tell it's gonna be a good day

But you can sleep in, you just keep dreamin' for us
I can tell it's gonna be a good day
I can tell it's gonna be a good day

A good day...

I am awake, 2 hours before the time I planned to be. I am greeted by the coolness of the morning (special thanks to my air-cond which pulled a all-nighter). The sun peeks at me lazily through my slightly torn orange curtain. I hear Jon crooning in my head so I hum along. But for the song in my head, it is quiet all around. I fire up the 'Pod to hear Jon better. I poke about FB and some blogs, curious about what people have been up to since I last checked out from consciousness. Some text msgs are exchanged and I smile to myself. Some can wait. I promise myself to get out of bed once I publish this. The husband is already downstairs, his day three hours in, awaiting my company for brekkie. But what I really wanna do is to curl myself up under the blanket and dream a little more.

Good morning, dear friends. :)

priscilla ahn :: a good day (good morning song)

rambling alert. if you want to maintain the illusion that i'm an interesting person, pls skip this post & come back again on Sunday.

class is beginning to tire me out.. i really hate assignments and exams but would reluctantly concede that they are good for me. what was it that the bible say about discipline again? *grumbles* looking forward to a break next sem.. hehe.. i'm glad i could go for classes because i want to, instead of because i have to, or because it's a routine i've developed. and it's not so much of keeping the momentum, cos i'm not in a paper chase. it's just one of those things i really enjoy :).. til the routine gets overwhelming.. and because most good things aren't so good when you have too much of it (4th piece of KFC anyone?), this break would do me good. plus, i've checked the calendar - nothing interests me, so it's just nice! ^^

ok, this is gonna be a l-o-n-g post. so i finally get to use this nifty little tag to hide the bulk of it. i'd like to call it my muu-muu tag. haha.. do click it -- there's a nice song at the end that you could chk out, even if you dun wanna read the rest, which would be probably good for your health. ^^ live long and prosper. _\\// (does that look like the vulcan salute? hahaha..)
