Calm has returned...

Finally managed to clear up my tornado-damaged room... It looks so tidy and clean now! YEAH! Took me close to 22 days to go through all the rubbish that has accumulated over the breathless weeks of turmoil and busy-ness... Everything that comes along my way is chucked in piles near my thermarest, making it a tumultous feat just to vacuum or mop the floor...
But now, it's all gone, with only a small stack of stuff on a wheeled chair under my tiny desk... My desk seems to be getting smaller and smaller.. After my notebook sits on it, there's hardly anymore space for me to write and read on.. But it's a comfortable clutter so far... Can still find what I need... =) So it ain't that bad after all...
Well, my room's not large in the first place... If I were to throw in a bean bag and a small television, it would a nice little one room flat... Cosy and self-equipped... Have my stoves and handphone... So I'm still pretty well-fed and self-sufficient... Hahaha... What am I thinking about?!
Anyway, the sense of accomplishment of having a neater environment to work and sleep in, is just great... And I'm rearing to move on from where I left off... Need to start doing marketing! No, no... Not going to the market to get groceries, but start officially with the publicity of my organisation's programmes, particularly the youth market, mainly the schools...
I'll be going off for a dive trip this evening... A long-awaited break from all the hustle and bustle over the past few weeks... Hopefully I do not come forth as the Singapore symbol again... A Merlion! Heh heh... It was only recently that I found out that the Merlion is the figment of STB's (Singapore Tourism Board) imagination! Feel so cheated! I have all the while thought that it was a folklore that was passed down from generation to generation, from our forefathers, who have witnessed something when Sang Nila Utama came to Singapore, or then known as Temasek. But, alas, to my great disappointment *drama mama*, it was just STB's noble attempt to make Singapore more interesting to the tourists and even to our fellow people. Hai... And I actually was so proud of it... Now it's just like the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus... But come to think of it, it's quite a nice thought Singapore has its own stories and well, beliefs? Just like our counterparts, US, China...
Well, time to get back to work... And get ready for diving! YEAH!
