Home alone

J's in the States for a business trip, so I've been left to my own devices for two weekends, after which I'll fly up to join her.

Woke up late this morning, and spent quite a bit of time wondering where to go for lunch and after, searching for places I'd heard of but never been to like Colbar (search result: presumed closed).

I'm hopeless when it comes to deciding where to eat, which is why I usually end up having fast food when alone. McD's last night, and today's lunch too - but that's because I wanted to play with the free WiFi connection + O2 Mini. Mother, in her infinite wisdom, has arranged dinner for both nights this weekend with family, so I've been spared two potential junk-food meals. Thanks Mom! ^.^

After lunch I figured I would go take photos of John's soccer boys during their training session, but it turned out that they have a big game tomorrow morning and would be resting today. Oh well.

In the end, I took a rather pleasant photo-walk around the Joo Chiat area. It feels strange that I actually grew up around the East side but haven't really seen much of it for myself - well today that changed a little bit, and I'm glad I took the time to. Will probably put some photos up at the usual place later.

Got home and took my first swim for the year today. I haven't been exercising for ages; it feels really good now that I've more or less recovered from last year-end's bad spell.

And I've decided to be lazy and start bringing laundry back to Mom's for washing.

Speaking of which, I'm late for dinner, gonna scoot.
