unplanned

My female owner is coming back to an unplanned holiday. She had not really made plans about what she wants to achieve/ do/ experience during her 6 weeks in Singapore. As she ages, she notices that her organisational skills is left wanting. She tends to live in bliss, without much planning or structure, thinking that things will work out in the end. Maybe it’s called mellowing. At the same time, she gets distressed over this lack of planning and entertains a high level of anxiety and what-ifs.

She was feeling very bored and restless during church yesterday. It was like a kaleidoscope of emotions for her. Elation at the end of another school year, excitement about going home, ambivalence about how Brisbane would be when she returns, sadness at having to say goodbye to Korean Jogging Kaki for good, sense of “this is the end” for Bris09 etc.

My female owner started entertaining herself. She wrote down a list of friends she wanted to meet over the next 6 weeks. She came up with a list of about 30 people (some were categories though). Having done that, she wrote down the food she wanted to eat. For some reason, she struggled to come up with a long list. Perhaps she had already forgotten those yummy foods that once titillated her taste buds. She moved on to places she wanted to visit before leaving Singapore. Sadly, she only came up with about 10 places. Well… looks like people mean the most to her, followed distantly by food… and well… places. This is consistent to one of her mantras of life: doesn’t matter where to go or what to do, it’s the company that matters.
