Catch Up with Mark
Wow hey that rhymes somewhat. Just off the top of my head.
My last post was such a long time ago indeed. The CNY cum vday weekend was great! I had a good rest and it was during this period my insomia seemed to have melted away. Think I have a lot to thank my dear for. It was quiet, eventful and all. We had good meals, began afresh after the last big quarrel which we did set ourselves out to do better in things and I am happy to say it has worked out wonderfully. My dear’s really sweet and has learnt how to handle me while I’ve learnt a lot on how to handle ‘us’ together. I have still quite a fair bit to improve on but I think I will! Great days, wonderful nights, I actually got depressed when it all ended but it wasn’t for too long thankfully 
Pictures and all are on my facebook. I have been wondering if I should put them up here..
I’ve also gotten my brand new trunks from TYR and a pair of new goggles from TYR too, all from my dear. I love them! It has given me a huge incentive to get back into the pool, something that has made me happy and has melted quite a lot of stress away. Comparing today to the start of the month, I am happier, less uptight and cranky, more positive and stuff and I do really have to thank my dear and mei mei for walking the pricky roads with me during this time. THANK YOU..!
I’ve also been busy with looking up interior designers (I am still open to knowing new ones so let me know if u have someone to recommend!) and I have visited Harvey Norman, and other places to get a feel of things. You know I’ve always said, things happen for a reason. I was set to buy 3 beds from Sealys at Tangs. I needed my credit limit reviewed so that I can swipe all 3 beds at once to get rebates and points. I said if my review was done in time I will buy. It didn’t. Instead I was at Robinsons last weekend, strolled into Serta and there and then I got a deal on the mattress that I wanted. A deal that I couldn’t refuse. It was at a 80% discount! So that would have been my first purchase.
Today I strolled into expo and walked away with a bed for mei mei! She tried it, she liked it. I tried it and I said its a yes too. I just needed the price to be right. It was expensive, but a deal was also worked out and after considering a few things, I went ahead with it. I don’t think it is impulsive though. I have seen many TVs that were tempting, yet not tempting enough for me to buy on the spot. Same goes for the washing machine cum dryer, and the fridge. Good offers but I have yet to make my move and use the ‘tatics’. I can’t really state what they are but if you do wanna know I can tell u in person!
I don’t want people to visit my place n head straight to our beds to try it out. Beds are a very personal area for me and I am very particular about who gets on it. I can smell n detect if someone else has been on it, even if it’s for a split second. Seriously. Very personal. What I can disclose is, the price of my king bed and her queen bed combined is a near 5 figure sum. Combined, we paid 30% of the price. I think it’s quite good. I am happy. Happy that I have a bed that I like that I can share with my partner and rest comfortably on. I will also sleep better at night knowing my dearest mei mei will be zzzzz away nice and comfy too. You see, it pains me a lot to see that she has her problems with her sleep cause I know too well myself, what insomnia and a terrible sleep will do. I was fighting with my partner at least once a week and it was all just so tiring. If something lets me rest better and puts me in a better mood it benefits not just me but people around me. The net result? Priceless!
Next up, to finalize stuff with the IDs, complete the property transaction, buy my washing machine cum dryer and the fridge. TV aircon etc etc can wait for now.
Gonna head to bed soon. Gota pick my dear from the airport, head back and stuff before heading out for some sing-a-long. There are major events happening this week. The arrival of one mattress (can’t wait and mei mei I promise when u get it, it will be as how I got it, except maybe it carries a lil of my scent only hehe), completion of the property (which means I will become the legal owner of it), sashimi, malacca road trip, and more! I can’t wait..!!
Time to head to bed for now. I’d like to wish everyone a very happy CNY, may each one of you attain the dreams that you’ve wished for soon! It’s the 15th day so I am not too late still!
