Bizarre Workings of the Idle Mind

Obscure thoughts seem to lurk behind my subconscious and they just appear and linger in your head for days. Seems like an awful obligation lot to erase them from my head.

Well, I have been mean in my head a lot of times lately and I always give sarcastic remarks over anything or anybody.

I have not been out a lot also because I was sick for like a week. Down with some virus flu that has a throng of friends named cough, sneeze, runny nose, back pain, shivering and sweating. Must be Lewis' virus.

My neighbours' kids are also becoming noisier each day. They await my arrival every single day from work and rush to my door when they see me. Nope, they don't want to see me, they want to see Lewis my cat, who, in all his feline arrogance would not even bother to go near the kids, instead, he nuzzles up to the wall, stops to look at them then nuzzles up to the wall again before he turns to walk away in his elegant purry catwalk.

My flat has been infested with messy occupants, the bedroom is filled with unironed clothes and who knows what else.

So many things undone these days. My Ali Baba script has been left to write for itself because of my stupid flu. And I just didn't have the energy to finish it anymore and just didn't answer phone calls. Sad, another opportunity wasted.

These days I am researching on "Ethics and Etiquette", "The Powers of Being Tactful", "The Art of Diplomacy". Google seems like an awfule waste of search engine. Search for ethics and etiquette, it gives you some society and some ranting site regarding work places. Type down diplomacy and it gives you a whole bunch of list of the game. Terrible. The more search engines there are the less they can help you. I would have to resort to the age old wonderful way of searching something-hit the libraries or the bookstores.

Dan Brown's set of books is on sale, Djahanne showed me yesterday, Aed.99.00 for the whole four books -Da Vinci Code, Angels and Demons and two other books.

Ennui is seeping in these days also. I am missing something but I do not know what. Some sense of learning probably. Some sense of challenging task. I wish I can open up an art place near my flat. But spaces seem so difficult to find. Maybe tonight I will have the time to see around.

Office has been quiet, except for some all-time urgent issues that can leave you scampering around to get it done only to find out later that it is needed next week. Aah. The joys of being employed.

Just this year alone, there were like 8 people who left the company. Weird times.

Yesterday I ordered in chocolate with banana crepe and fish n chips. I ate a bit portion of it and brought it home with me. Then I changed clothes and went to Abu Dhabi Mall to meet Tin, Bry and Djah. We stayed at Mugg n Bean and I ordered caffe latte while the rest ordered meals. I was looking at the Famous M&B breakfast and I felt hungry so I ordered. But it took them awhile to prepare it and by the time it was ready the gang was almost done with their meals so I ordered mine to-go. It is yummy food. And healthy too.

Ohhh. So many things I want to do, so many things in my head. So many books I want to read, just so many things. Heavens help me.
