It was a super duper long weekend, and it serves me right really, for so happily taking Friday off, because I've just returned to a whole load of crap in the office Monday morning. Never never again will I allow myself to indulge in such decadently long weekends. (You do know I'm being sarcastic here don't you?!)
I don't know what is it with long weekends, but I seem to make use of my brains more. I mean, look, 3 whole new blog entries just over the weekend! Never have I been so productive! It usually takes me 2 weeks to churn out a single blog article, and that explains why my blog is so scarcely populated with content even though it's been in existence for 3 months I think!
Anyway, it's what I so relish about these long spaces of time; I actually have time to engage my brain! I mean, on a normal weekday, I finish work at 8ish, and then there's dinner, and I need to space out in front of the TV for a bit, pretending to appreciate the intricacies of the murder happening in CSI, when all that's really happening is that nothing is happening. In my mind at least, it's a total blank. Kaput. Zero. Nothing. And hey, before I know it, it's time to go to bed so that I can wake up in time for work the following day. In the morning, it's a mad scurry to ge dressed decently, and then be in the office by 9am, 9.15am if there're unforseen circumstances (according to stringent HR policies)! And then life is an unceasing fluster of meetings and calls and what not, and even lunch, the only break that we have is sometimes a five-minute affair, or even if there's more time, we have 5 people fighting to get their words in edgewise.
Is there time to even breathe, much less think, I ask you?!
Anyway, the one extra day over the weekend provided me with much fodder for future blog articles. All the insights I've gotten are merely one-liners that may not make any sense when you read it, but has definitely greater depths and insights. I mean, that's the way geniuses work...

You know the miniature sharks that they have at the Wisma Atria aquarium? Why don't they ever grow bigger? Are they some kind of species of miniature sharks? Or are they even real?
How did people work before computers exist? I mean, can you imagine, I'll be telling my client to check out the fax of the creatives I just sent over.
Is Singapore the only country who actually has National Day songs? Other countries have their folk songs and their folk lore, and we have National Day songs. Gee, that's really embarassing.
I think people like reading blogs because it's an electronic form of mental voyeurism, and it's the only form that's legal! It's fun to 'look into' people's minds, and thoughts, and ideas, and crap.
I think I'm a failure when it comes to killing mosquitoes. I can't kill one that was sitting right on my knee and drinking my blood! And I doubt I'll be able to kill a lame mosquito flying with one wing, and the size of a tennis ball either. Is there some way I can improve my mosquito killing skills?
Winnie the Pooh? What the heck is a 'pooh' anyway?!! It is a combination between a bear and a puppy and something?
If whales are mammals, and they supposedly mate like mammals, how do they actually do it without hands? I wish National Geographic will do a documentary on it. That will be interesting!
And a goldfish supposedly has a 3-second attention span right? What goes through their teeny weeny fish brains in that three seconds I wonder? Foo... Fo...Ood..Hungr...Starv..Dyin... No wonder my goldfishes all dies young, they didn't have a chance to finish the thought they started out with, so they all starved to death. (Now you know what I mean when I call you 'Fish-brain'!
