What's up?

It's morning! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and I am curled up in my bed groaning and pulling the covers over my head.

Lovely image.

Been waking up increasingly early these days. I think it's the subconscious feeilng that I need to get up and "do" something, although I usually end up slouching over my laptop and doing some nonsensical, non-productive things anyway. Which is rather ironic because I get sleepy around noon again and continue to be unproductive anyway.

I had fun last night dancing. It didn't rain (According to the Jo-N forecast which insisted that if she says it won't rain, then it won't rain. Wow, dear, you can control the weather!) and we all had a fun time on the rooftop dancing and having barbeque dinner. Michelle had an obsession with the barbequed chicken wings, I found out Jo can really shake his hips, and I felt underdressed. Anyway thanks to everyone for making it happen, and especially to my friends who made the night really fun.

And yes, somehow I was really blue yesterday, as in literally. I wore a blue top and blue yoga pants, then later changed into a blue dress. Reflecting my mood? Haha, depends on how you look at it.

Hm, a week's break for assignments and getting my arse into gear for studying for the finals. I shall punctuate that with some shopping, doing the "blues" and making jokes about sharks. I know this post is rather narcissitic... I guess I'll be more philisophical and deep the next post or something, if I ever get to that stage.

Right now I shall just enjoy the laziness of a Saturday morning.

A Lost Cause?

I lost my purse yesterday.

Granted, it was my so-called contingency purse. I don't usually like to bring my important stuff like my IC out most of the time, but going out with no ID on me makes me feel nekkid. So I just use a small little purse to put some money, student ID and resident cards, things like that.

And I dropped it. So much for "contingency".

I kept berating myself for being idiotic, how could I have dropped it and so on. I only realised that I dropped it when I was walking through the cafeteria in search of my lunch.

And things only got worse.

I had a fifty ringgit note (yes, contingency again. I'm paranoid =p) in my bag, so I was like okay, I'm gonna use this to buy my lunch. And only when the lady had served me the chicken rice on a tray then she told me she didn't have change for fifty. Neither did any of the stalls in the cafeteria either. I was thinking, great, lost my purse and I'm going to have to starve today. (I could have borrowed from my friends, but those were just my cynical thoughts at the moment)

And then she just told me to take it, eat it and pay tomorow.

Truth to be told, I was a bit stunned. I mean, I could have just walked away with the unpaid tray, eat it and not pay her at all anyway. Apparently I look like I have a concsience, haha! I think it was the matter of trust I suddenly felt there. I know that it's a small thing, but somehow in this dog eat dog world, I felt like this lady was trusting me, a total stranger, to pay her back later without even hesitating.

Anyway I did borrow some change from my friend and paid erm, Chicken Rice Lady back a few minutes later.

With a tummyful of chicken rice, I went for lecture, feeling a bit down to have lost my purse. I was quite sure I had dropped it in some untraceable place, that my purse would be doomed to an eternity of lying on the ground, degrading, maybe left there by someone who took the purse, took all the money and tossed it back wherever.

Only to hear that someone had found it!

It was with student services. Apparently someone had found it lying around somewhere and brought it to the reception, who handed it in to student services. And, lo and behold, all my money, down to the last cent, and my cards were in there. I wanted to know who returned it so I could thank him or her, but the receptionist couldn't point me to anyone. I guess, thank you whoever it is.

It sort of just renewed my faith in humanity. Not that I don't believe that there are good people out there, but somehow some... evidence was very nice to know.

Why Sitting in a Teacup?

I'm Patricia and this is my fresh, new blog -- Sitting in a Teacup.

Why sitting in a teacup, you ask?

It's certainly nothing to do with the rides at Disneyland, trust me.

Not exactly about cute little animals sitting in teacups, although I wouldn't totally rule out any influence from that possibility. I am a sucker for little fluff balls anyway.

I'm being totally random because I couldn't come up with other blog names? Partly.

Well, mainly because I like tea. But why not just tealeaves or teacups? Why sitting in a teacup out of all things?

I believe there's a huge world out there and part of being human is wanting to see as much as they can in life, but people hardly ever sit down and look around and be content once in a while. I'm not saying staying around and not exploring options is good, just that sometimes I feel one just needs to take time and appreciate the things around you instead of rushing off trying to get something better, something stronger, something newer. And I tell myself that sometimes too.

Hence, me, sitting in a teacup - symbolising a comfortable place where I can be content and appreciate things, sort of isolated from the outside world, but when I look up I can still see the sky...

Okay, maybe it wasn't about the whole "being content and appreciating" thing, maybe it was about the little animals in teacups. =p

So yes, this is how the name came about.

And this blog, is mainly describing my activities with my friends, or anything that happened to me in one day - sort of a personal blog, I guess. Since I've been quite a failure in the updating sector for my previous blogs, I'll promise myself to update this blog at least once a week, even if it means blathering on about random stuff. I might include my opinions on show episodes, words or basically anything else under the sun.

And it's a way to (*cough*annoymyfriends*cough*) connect as well =)

Do let me know if you want to link me, or if you want to be linked. Thanks! And that's all for now.
