monotony

I am one of the very few who has never really appreciated long stretches of holidays like the recent Chinese New Year. I felt completely lost being away from the office for a long period of time. I felt as if my routine was broken and felt nervous thinking about what awaited me on my return. Needless to say, I appreciated being able to sleep in. I got to thinking about the life of homemakers and what they do with themselves everyday. Time seemed endless. I did nothing but cook, eat, read and watch movies ! Baking was a laborious task that I chose to skip. Somehow, through the fog of laziness, I couldn't imagine myself washing up all the greasy utensils even though having a nice butter cake was tempting. Unpacking was another task on my long list that I completely chose to ignore. So I'd need to be honest and add to my year's resolutions. Words that are kind to myself would sound something like choosing to take it easy but in actual fact, I am nothing more than LAZY ! Sometimes I do give in and this is one time....I'll give in. And what did I do this past weekend. Oh well I might as well be honest. I fried keropok, ate keropok, fried keropok, ate keropok, roasted chicken, ate chicken and ate and ate ! If only I could produce electricity from what I ate, I could light up the city of Petaling Jaya !
