happy day alone

[Original entry posted here.]

Saturday. I decided I must reward myself by spending the day doing all the things that I like and always wanted to do.

I wanted to be alone. So I set off alone on my little excursion without telling anyone where I was going. I also wanted to avoid the dinner gathering that was to happen at my apartment. I don't always fancy such big group gatherings and especially if the topics are going to revolve round which school is best for my kids? which surburb's property should I buy? or what kind of financing am I looking at for my property purchase? etc. And I just happened to be in this I-wanna-be-left-alone mood these days.

First stop: KTV!!! I have been wanting to sing karaoke for ages but haven't been able to find a suitable k-partner since Ed left. And so I popped into Greenbox plus and sang for 2 hours nonstop. With nobody else to fight for the mike, I got to sing til I almost lost my voice.

I then spent a solid hour browsing through dvds, cds, etc deciding on what to get for my weekday after-work nightly entertainment. Eventually got 2 korean drama series - Spring Waltz and Autumn In My Heart. I had recently just finished watching Winter Sonata.

And I then happily went to buy a movie ticket for Resident Evil 3 - Extinction. Always a fan of Resident Evil although the game freaks me out.

I had 2 hours to kill before the show and went to satisfy this huge craving of mine for Ichi Ban Boshi's cheese ramen. Very satisfied. Very very.

It's actually very enjoyable spending the day alone. I think this is preferable to hanging out with people I don't really click with. I'm planning to hit a nice beach, sip some cappucino at a beachside cafe with a good book, maybe get a pack of ciggies (I've been getting these cravings for a smoke these nights and I'm not even a smoker!) and just laze the afternoon away next weekend.
