"Happy Monday!!" Right. It's not Monday, but that's what I always say whenever I greet people on Monday mornings. People find that annoying probably. It's not a bad thing to say is it? But maybe it's not a good thing either?!? What do you think? People dread Mondays, but if you're mentally well enough to get up and head to the office in the morning, isn't this a good day? How one sees his/her day, maybe it's like whether one sees the glass half-empty or half-full. What do you see? I often say it all depends on what's in the glass. Is there a glass? What glass? Why are you asking? What was the question again?! Actually, today IS Monday, I'm just writing my post early.
Right now I'm at work listening to The Well-Tempered Clavier... very soothing. People are bustling around, walking here and there... As for me? I haven't had much to do since I got my notice. I told my clients about my last day coming up and the work's been pretty much diminished. Yay! These days, I'm more like a spectator in a corporate world. It's nice and I really don't mind.
Did you all have a good weekend? I hope so. This past weekend was my grandmother's 97th birthday, and I thought she turned 97 last year! I guess she's not that old! It was also my parents' anniversary as well, I believe it was their 50th, if not 52nd. I never ask for the specifics. Alec and I just bought them little gifts. They never want anything fancy... I'm the same way. We all took pictures. When it was time to sing Happy Birthday to my grandma, my sisters and my cousin started singing the song in Chinese, for which I didn't know the words... It was kinda funny to hear it in Cantonese. My grandma even clapped. It was very nice to see. I've never seen her smile so big and being this joyful before, at least not for the last 15 years or so. My grandfather passed away more than 70 years ago, if only he could see her now... A moment which I won't forget any time soon.

Thanks for letting us celebrate your birthday grandma... I wouldn't miss it for the world.
PS. Well, that was all from yesterday. Funny I never say "Happy Tuesday", hmm...
