HALF-DAY

Things to do on a half-day off!

1) Go to the hairdresser and fix your hair which some allege make you look 10 years older. U think it will take 3 hours max to finish at the hairdresser? TEI! Try 5 hours.

2) Go for that body scrub and massage you've been aching for for ages. Remove the grime and rejuvenate the joints! (Sounds good right. I've always wanted to write those spa catelogues. I can even write rhymes!)

3) Sit at a cafe in the CBD and read book for the whole afternoon. Quietly chuckle to yourself as you watch the office crowd hurry from place to place.

4) Stay at home and spend time with your father to ask him how's his business. And if possible, ask him if u can retire. And of course, try to convince him that it's a fantastic idea to have you in the house every weekday.

5) Go and watch 3 movies in a row to catch up on all the films u've missed! And feel your brain going to mash. So don't do this too often.

6) Sleep. Wake up and feel the baby soft skin and marvel at the wonders of sleep. I love sleep.

7) Cook. This is something I've always aspired to do. Especially to learn how to cook something really complicated like oatmeal prawns so that I can impress other people with my special dish. But u know.. as with most aspirations, it remains just that. An aspiration.

8) Meet with a friend u've not seen for ages. But be prepared for him/her to say you look old and haggard now. In which case, revert to activity 1 or 2 on next half day off.

Seeing as how I've had 2 half days off this year, I will not attempt to add to the list any further.. but I've done 1, 2 and 4... so that leaves me with enough activities for 2007!
