As August approaches, i am getting jittery cos it is not in the mail yet.
Yes, am referring to the Ikea catalogue! It is almost end-Jul and yet i havent had a chance to feast on the latest options. Not that i am seriously gonna purchase anything, since i already had the overhaul done last year. But still … so little else to look forward to right? Lying in bed with dim lighting in my room looking at those dreamy rooms and happy people is contentment for me.
(now that you know what din arrive, guess what did? My bloody income tax charge! Nabey! My tax just about doubled!)
So, when people say spring cleaning, you think of … Dusting the shelves, clearing the closets, housekeeping of random stuff under the bed etc.
Me?
I went through this toiletry bag in a drawer to check the expiry date of my … condoms and lube. Surprise surprise! Had stuff that expired in 2005! After clearing all the expired stuff, found i had 104 condoms left. All of which were from the freebies given out at AfA events (i stopped buying condoms over 2 years ago once i noticed i din have opportunities to use them). Not that i was actively collecting them, one of the give-outers/distributors just dumped a whole bunch in my bag once. Was on the verge of just throwing all away as a symbolic gesture but felt that would be wasteful. So, back in the bag they went, till i get a chance to use them or they expire. Based on recent experience, we know which will be sooner right?
How do i ‘donate’ new condoms to the ‘needy’? I cant just walk along Geylang and hand them out right? Any space where i can deposit them so they get put to better use, or for that matter, any use?
That aside, why the long absence, you ask? Well, let’s leave that for another time, shall we?
