happy post.

while i was going through my financial documents in my punggol room (i attempt to manage my own finances, with limited success.) i happen to see the collection of letters and cards from schooling times, which i store in a drawer under my bed. i read thru a couple of them and felt rather touched. you know how people tend to write nice things to others in cards (if they didnt have nice things to write they would probably not prepare a card in the first place.) the card that struck me quite a bit was the birthday card from so3k. it was really very sweet.

that reminds me that i brought a very small cushion/pillow to hall room. it's like about 10cm x 10cm kind of size, really too small to hug i must say. but it was a birthday present i received in jc, and about the only thing i would want to keep on my bed that is not too big to take up size and at least arguably huggable. my friend would probably never have imagined that it will be used as a bolster of sorts one day.

there was a time that i slept with only a pillow and nothing else on my bed. it was after army, i think i probably had not adjusted back to civilian living by then. combine that with a bed that is almost as hard as wood (in punggol) and you get like close to minimalist living. yay. you cant blame me for having thought about being a hermit or monk or priest of sorts.
