Monday was a mixbag of both dread and excitement. I took the day off to see my accountant (hence the dread) first thing in the morning to sort out my returns for the year. I did not expect to leave his office with a smile on my face but hey, i had a 22 dollar smirk nonetheless. This sucked considering i used to walk out with a multi-thousand dollar smile but at least i'm not forking out any more dough. It was exciting monday becos Vanessa is in town and we've spoken about catching up the first time we met. I went baring welcoming gifts of Leaf cupcakes and after a very short stint of window shopping at the fancy Claremont district (that's always nice and always overpriced), we headed towards the waters for a nice lazy lunch with a charming view. Sometimes i have to remind myself this girl is not someone i have known for years, but someone i met thru' our respective websites and have no history beyond that. We fell into a comfortable and familiar chatter, we caught up with our lives since we first met, and her boyfriend found out then that we met only months ago! Such is the yummy goodness of internet friendships. Leaving them to prep for their long trip towards south the next day, i headed home to enjoy the rest of my day off, feeling thoroughly relaxed and slightly sun burnt.
