Bummer

Have been bumming for the past 9 days.. after having my second (and final) wisdom tooth extracted, I felt greeeeeeat.... however, it should leave me in discomforts for the next few months as I understand from previous experience, it takes some getting used to..

I have been giving myself excuses before my vacation to pend doing things in the house.. after my vacation comes and goes, my list remains uncrossed... see, once a bummer always a bummer... but I did get something done afterall.. at least the laundry is done and the toilets are washed... I also did alot extras.. such as shopping.. for clothes, more clothes, blah blah blah... and almost read a book!! It has been ages since I last read a good book... I remember the last was Tuesdays with Morrie.. after that no other books deserve a quote from me.. except this one, its really good.. Marley and me is the title.. its one of the bestselling books in US and UK... I saw this book in Times bookshop a few months ago but it was the American edition that costs 40+.. I got mine, a UK edition, from Popular Bookstore costing half the price.. it makes no difference to me whatsoever.. Its about the author's life and his now-deceased dog Marley.. it already looks like a good book before I even read it.. so I bought it without considering further.. Indeed it turns out.. it grabs me... I havent finish reading it yet but I already know the ending.. since I am nuaing at home I should be able to devour the book in 1-2 days. However, I took my time to read it, giving myself quota each day as I wanted to make my money well spent.. Out of curiousity, I read the last few chapters and found that the dog is dead now.. so sad.. it made me tear.. Should I say I hate the book as it made me cry..? Losing a dog, like losing a companion, is a terrible experience.. I lost my girlgirl 6 yrs ago and I am still thinking it almost everyday... Now I have a senior citizen celebrating his 12th birthday in Sep.. how can I not worry which day I will lose him..? whenever AhPok feels unwell, puke or behaves abnormally, my heart skipped a beat.. just so afraid of the ultimatum.. it made me scared.. I hope that day shall never come..

Going back to work tomorrow and hope to have a fresh start afterwards..
