End of holidays

So my holiday has ended. I'm sleepy coz I returned from a trip late last night and I'm really tired too. We went to Trinco - another spontaneous family trip. It was a nice experience but it was very VERY hot. We went the day before and came last night as mentioned so that didn't leave us with much time to do a lot of traveling around...

So all we managed were the Hot spring wells, Nilaveli beach with a boat ride to a little island, Koneswaran temple, Dambulla temple on the way back - this was the third time I went and the climb keeps getting more tiresome! and Kinniya ..

It was a lot of traveling which left my butt numb most of the time... and it was exhausting too.

But interesting.. and nice..

Although I do wish it was a proper holiday away from work.. the number of calls I got from office each day was a little annoying.. I mean, after all we do want a break now and then don't we? and this also left my mum annoyed coz I'm always talking work on the phone..

Oh well..


I'm sad that the holiday is over.. I miss the good home food and the endless sleeping..

How is everyone else?

Happy New Year folks!

Let me wish all of you my dearest readers a Very blissful, happy and prosperous new year!

May everything turn out to be good..:) and hope all the celebrations go well..:)

And I really hope it rains coz the.heat.is.unbearable!


on a different note :

I'm feeling a little bugged at the moment coz my mum did something last night.

There's this old book about pregnancies and how to take care of yourself when you're pregnant and all that which she used long long ago. She found it while cleaning her room and casually handed it to be and said 'you will need this'.

As you can see, I'm totally freaked out. I know I'm getting older and all that...but really? pregnancies? now?

I declined the offer and walked to the kitchen to pour myself a drink.

I get it.. she has dreams and all that.. but please... I'm still growing.. one thing at a time pls.

So yea.. I'm bugged.. waaaaaaaaaaah!

The worsening eye-sight problem

I've written about my eye-eight problem long time ago here.

It was time for my annual check and I've also realised that sometimes while driving my eye eight does get blurry beyond a certain point with lenses or specs and it made me think that my eye-sight would've gotten weaker.

And I was right.

I did a mistake by telling this to my mum coz she freaked out even more and spoke about me going blind! gah!

Anyways..

I met my sweet doc and the old man looked worried. He very gently looked at me after trying on so many lenses and trying to get me to read the last two lines coz they're always blurry and I can never read them.

Then he said that my sight has gotten worse and the lenses he had in his hand were the last he can give me and there's nothing beyond that. I felt really sad when I heard that. He said it was the maximum he could go...

He gave me a new prescription and told me to get my lenses and specs changed and that he hopes it doesn't get any worse coz it's going to be a big problem.

I also asked him the option of surgery someday...and he said that I'd have to wait till my sight gets stable and doesn't change for a few years...and from what he sees, it still keeps getting weaker..

Made me feel really sad..especially when my mum's face just fell and she looked really upset.

Oh well...

These things happen.. I guess.

I miss you..

I miss the love and care
I miss the late night drives
I miss the laughter and surprises
I miss the occasional beer and drink
I miss the long conversations
I miss the religious activities we did together
I miss the great examples that made me a better person
I miss the scoldings for wrongdoings
I miss the comfort and safety
I miss the level of understanding we had
I miss the inspiration and advice
I miss knowing that you're there
I miss the strength you provided me with
I miss the happiness and joy we shared
I miss your aura of goodness and kind nature
I miss watching movies together
I miss screaming at you when you ate betel
I miss the times you watched me while I took risks
I miss the confidence you always had in me
I miss having you around
I miss the feeling of being complete
I miss a lot more..and everything
I miss you more and more in ways I can't even express...
And soon, it's going to be 5 years since you left my side...

I still can't imagine how my world revolves without you.. coz many times a day..it just stands still.. without you thaththi..

So....

I've been doing personal training for a month now at the gym. Eventhough I feel better and the clothes are a better fit now, my weight hasn't changed at all. When I mentioned this to my mum, only coz she kept asking me, I felt sad at the way she reacted and the things she said. Honestly, what can I do if nothing works?

Also mentioned here

So I went through my baby pictures and told myself that I was cute once and that should do. I had my chance early.

Today a blogger I barely know had sent me chocolates through a mutually known blogger and you know what? It made me feel good and cared for in a strange way and really made my day.

If the sweet lady wouldn't mind herself being known, pls go ahead and leave a comment.:)

I want to say a big thank you for making me feel good. :) *hugs*

-----------------------------------------------------

There is some work that is being done for a client. An idea I gave was executed beautifully and when I heard that it was selected by the client, I felt such joy. It feels good when my little sparks of creativity make it into the real world.:)


-----------------------------------------------------

I've done my Avrudu gift shopping and the only one left to buy is my mum's gift,which I should attend to within the week. But this time, I bought gifts for myself first and it felt good until I realised that I'm completely broke already. :( Guess I got a little carried away...

------------------------------------------------------

I'm on leave from the 9th till the 16th and it feels gooooooood to know that I'll have some time away from work... but I'm also sure that time would fly...

So what are you guys doing for Avrudu?
