Today's been an incredible Monday.

Yes,incredible.I know-I have an annoying tendency to overuse big words like 'fantastic' and 'great',to the point where they lose their original value and succumb to mere normalities.But today-I woke up after having only four hours of sleep,and in such desperate times when it's crucial to stay lucid I had no choice but to swallow every drop of the overwhelmingly strong (3 spoons) and foul-tasting homemade coffee this morning.But things didn't turn out as I expected.

Usually in my management class-with 3 quarters of them being locals,I'd typically feel isolated a bit and choose to remain quiet-in the process getting friendly,but disapproving looks from my tutor who nonetheless accepts my behaviour as typical Asian anti-social-ness.But today I spoke too much,joined in the jokes and talked to my classmates-total humdrum,I know-but it's a big thing for me,especially on moody Mondays when the weather seems worst and emotions run wild.

Lunch was terrific-and Jan-da-jo-peen is in town for a week so few of us went to Esteller (finally getting my Nasi Pecel) for dinner and the night continued crisply.

I seriously forgot why I wanted to write what I wrote-therefore this post will have no particular significance or intention-except maybe to say that some days can change from good to bad,or vice versa,from the miraculous weight of just one small thing.This morning,I smiled-I laughed hysterically loud,alone to myself -careful to not vommit out the coffee,which now tasted like shit brewing in my throat-as the elevator ascended to the 10th floor at the Redmond Barry building-and just like that,the day felt a whole lot brighter.
