2 things

2 things I realised today.

1. No matter how patient a man is, a woman should never, ever take him shopping

Especially a woman like me.

Fickle, calculative & bad at decision-making.

I've fixed my mind on something olive green (ironically, this was the colour i used to dislike), so that's why my attention was focused only at olive green clothes.

But what to do, the olive green clothes I saw were so expensive, it was almost sinful.

I'll make another round at RH okie, and I'm quite confident I'll be able to find something reasonably priced there. I'll KIV my olive green plans. Any colour will do. I'll do it fast. And I promise I'll get something interesting.

2. I've grown old & thrill rides are just no longer exciting, but merely pain-inducing agents.

I took Nana to the Escape Theme Park today. Instead of excitement (I felt that 3-4 yrs ago), I felt nausea. No joke sitting on Viking for 10 times. Or having yr stomach churned upside down on some Cadbury Inverter. 2 hours later, I was almost begging Nana to go home, but not before she took her final ride on the Viking.

I didn't realise how much my body was in need of help, until I lay down on Nana's bed this evening. My body was aching. No longer as nimble, twirling around in thrill rides.

I've pre-empted Nana though. I told her, that today, was going to be the last time, I'll ever take her to Escape Theme Park. Looking at me, I could almost sense her understanding exactly how I felt.

Oh well...we all have to grow old some day.
