:: What is Happening - alphabeat

watching the vid for this song on mtv now and i really like it. i'd lik to cover it. but we'll see how. i just agreed with loo last night tt we should avoid picking songs tt require any vocal harmony to sound good, since we're not ready for tt yet.

i have lots of exciting things to tell. life is picking up but i don't wanna jinx it by declaring tt it's all getting better. i'm happy anyhow {:o)

took mummy to cgh today for her first physio appointment there. i liked today because- so far- it has been filled with nice and kind pple and i like it when pple are nice and kind. the cab driver who took us there was really patient when mummy took a while to get into the cab and when we alighted, he said Happy new year! and tt really made the start of my day pretty cool. then we got directed to the wrong room by main counter staff but the lady ic at tt rm was polite enough to apologise for the mistake and for keeping us waiting and referred us to the right place. mummy told me to go to the foodcourt first so i could decide what i wnated for lunch while waiting for her. but i decided to stay in the end to accompany her. the therapist had a heavy indian accent and mummy kept having to ask him to repeat so i was relieved i stayed cos at least i have more experience with heavy indian accents than mummy does thanks to uni and all so if she needed i could 'translate'. so anwyay, the guy did some stretching for her and i sat and watched as she grimaced trying to manoeuvre herself and i kept grimacing too. how do you sit by and watch someone you love in pain knowing you can't alleviate any of it. the thought of it is so painful. but mummy felt better after all the stretching and so mr india showed me how i could help her with the stretching at home and i then i didn't feel as bad.

we stopped outside tt qiji place cos mummy wanted the mee rebus frm there and i left here in the wheelchair outside while i went to draw money and when i got back she told me one of the aunties working inside came out and offered to order food for her. what a sweet lady. i went in to pay and she made sure i got the mee rebus no chilli and directed me to the counter to pay cos i was looking a bit lost, tt being my first visit to cgh in the last century. while walking out, i got blocked by this big guy in front of me and i stood there waiting for him to pass and then a jolly old man walking in the opposite direction looked at me and remarked "you should sound your horn!.. because the man is blocking you." haha. he smiled and i smiled and said it's ok i can wait and went out and related tt encounter to mummy. is it just me or is today being really good to me? on the way to the taxi stand, we stopped at the weekly cgh fruit stall and bought lots of stuff and the helpful stallkeepers taught me exactly how long to store the avocados for and helped me pick out some nice mangoes and chikus. i like fruits. and i like helpful fruitsellers even better. {:oD

having faith in the goodness of the world doesn't always make me happy but i know tt at least sometimes it does. don't we all like it when things turn out like we anticipated? and i like it even better (sometimes) when things are not wat i expect. i didn't think today would suck when i woke up this morning (yes- BEFORE noon. miracles do happen..), but i wasn't expecting to be showered by a jolly does of niceties. it feels good. being drawn to things i don't expect is probably why i like to hang out with pple like edward and loo; they always say things tt tickle and keep me wanting to hear more. if having something to look forward to this much makes me a sucker, then tt's wat i'll be. i guess i feel an affinity to pple who seem to treat happiness and contentement more as an aim and not just as a by-product of life.

so anyways, i came home and made an attempt at a frittata tt donis taught me how to make in ottawa. i miss tt fella. anwyays, it turned out not too bad and i had it with ketchup and swedosh meatballs with leftover steak sauce tt aunty june brought over yesterday when she made us lunch (she bought us goodies for tea as well, after taking mummy to and from the chiro). after washing up, i hung out the towels to dry and then prepped pesto prawns and honey-soy chicken for dinner. what a fun-filled day. it's days like this (and yesterday, when i couldn't stop smiling while in the wet market and supermarket) tt serve as affirmations tt being a hsewife is indeed my calling. and i'm not even trying to be funny, if you think i am. hah. i'm just really comfortable in this skin. {:o)
