What a wonderful day twas

I was wished to have a wonderful morning by a very special person in the morning today(24th Jan)....I woke up all pumped about the day...planned to catch the earliest bus to the Motor Registry to get dates for my license testing....

I was dressed in my favorite top(which i thought looked hot on me) .....just then my house mate walks in and informed me that today's weather forecast was going to b 37 degrees cel. for that day.

I congratulated the weather on his victory of how the hottest day was gonna be the day i wanted to go out as well. Then i took a look at my favorite top....it was a woolen typed black top...i knew i was gonna be baked close to a cake in that....

I spent close to 20 mins trying to get the right clothes to match the weather...and when i finally found them i set off in a bounce...bobbing away to my ipod....it was a hot morning and the heat was having it's effect on me already. I looked at my watch every second(literally) for the bus....and i had exactly 3 mins for my bus and lo and behold i realized that i had left all the documents needed for registration at HOME!!!

I sat there staring at the sky on how ridiculous it was....'I' was rather!!!! i had to go back to get those...and the next bus to the registry was only an hour later!! I started out and saw my bus zoom past me.....and by that time i could feel the sun feast on my skin....but mind you i had 3 layers of sun block but still could feel the heat...

I got home....thankful for the air conditioning left on by my house mate...i fetched my document file and sat down for a bit since i had time for the next bus. Meanwhile, i set out to find myself a cold drink...and in a lame attempt opened the food cabinet knocking over an oil bottle...i couldn't believe my luck....but little did i know that was just the beginning!!

I finally found myself some juice and before i could even take a sip from it...my top decided to have a taste of the drink....alas...my blue top was stained orange!!! i stared at my orange juice for 5 mins.... unbelieving of the scheme it decided to play on me...i spent the next 10 mins washing my top and ironing it then wiping down the table. Finally after world war 3 i finished my drink and set out to catch my bus.

I successfully got  into the bus that i needed....and amidst of enjoying the luxury of seating and air conditioning at the same time...i missed my stop.....i got out of the bus and hiked a up-sloped hike for 20 mins  with the sun literally eating away at my skin...finally i reached my destination hot, sweaty and red...and with a million eyes assessing me on how dirty i looked!!!

Finally i got through the lovely arvo...got to the malls...chilled out a bit...and the day didnt seem so bad after all! Hey..at least i got a ride back from the malls from my cousin!!! and took the clothes from the line before the showers bucketed down!!! So maybe it was a wonderful day!!

Till next time....

The Wait

It was a gloomy Saturday afternoon.....Skye slowly opened her eyes to catch the dull sunny rays pouring into her room through the beige blinds in her room. It was chilly and Skye pulled her blanket closer and snug deeper into her bed. She reached for her phone on the side table pressing some buttons to wake him up too. No new messages....but some new mails. She set back her phone to its original place and rolled over her side. It was late and she knew she had to wake up. 'Wake up to what?' she asked herself....after 10 more minutes of staring at the roof...she rolled out of bed...quick to adjust the bed sheets, she walked herself to her routine morning bath.

Skye eagerly switched open her computer in wanting to check her mail. She might have gotten a reply from something she had been waiting for months. Her face fell back as she saw ‘0 mails’ in her mailbox. “Maybe tomorrow Skye” she told herself, but for some odd reason didn’t believe that either.

She prepared for her morning meals, her usual routine everyday. Thinking heavily about if Skye will ever hear from them made her add salt to her cup of tea instead of sugar. Skye stared at the cup for long as if trying to tell her salty tea to magically become proper. Cursing she emptied her tea into the drain and prepared to make a fresh one. Skye realized how much she hated waiting, she’d rather hear a NO response from them instead of this wait. This wait was costing her too much but who should she talk about it to?

Skye’s twin sister April walked into the kitchen texting simultaneously where Skye was lost in thought. “You alright Skye?” she asked her sister with a concerned expression after spotting her. “Yea of course! Why wouldn’t I be?” Skye lied to April.

“ Well…these days you seem to be fading away” April replied. “Fading away?” Skye managed to fake a laugh. “What does that supposed to mean?” she asked her sister knowing exactly what she was talking about. April shrugged, “Alright, if you say so” she replied walking away.

Skye switched on the TV hoping there would be something she liked….a cartoon perhaps! She flicked through the very limited channels and found nothing interested. She sighed switching the TV off. Skye’s parents did not want the family to subscribe to cable. It was reasoned out that the girls would lose focus which the girls never really understood!

She went back to her waiting laptop in the room. Maybe she should just……wait.
