What was the very first popular song you ever remember taking a liking to? I’m not talking about children’s songs or old traditional songs… but the kind of songs you’d hear on the radio.

Are you easily frightened or startled?
Yes, it’s why I never visit haunted houses.
(Purely whimsical supposition. Suspend disbelief for a bit)
If you were a ghost, what location do you think you would haunt? Is it the same or different from the location you’d want to haunt?
I’m afraid I don’t have much imagination about this sort of thing right now. My brain is more of less fried from working two 12 hours days, will probably do that again for the rest of the week. So my simple answer is I would haunt either my house or my grave site but then I might not have a grave site. So my house it is.
What do you see in your mind’s eye when you close your eyes? (I know somebody will answer ‘the inside of my eyelids”, so I took the temptation away by answering that first! Feel free to use that answer if you like though, or pass. It’s ALL good!)
As much as I’d like to laugh and say “the inside of my eyelids”, I can’t because I never see the inside of my eyelids when I close my eyes. When I close my eyes, my imagination comes alive. Story plots begin to swirl in my mind’s eyes.
Lately, each time I close my eyes, I keep seeing a old plot from one of my unfinished short stories. It keeps trying to push forward and continue the story but then it’s like it’d hit a wall. Then it would rewind and play it over like an object hitting the wall over and over. My imagination is very annoying sometimes.
If a Semi (Big Rig in Americanese) (lorry or trolley over the pond) were about to smash into a crowd, and you could divert the vehicle’s course to hit only one person, would you? How would you decide who would become the victim?
This reads like a question my business philosophy professor asked the class on the first day of class to demonstrate utilitarianism and altruism. I think I would divert the vehicle’s course but unless Superman or someone near-invincible is in the crowd, I don’t know how I’ll decide who would become the victim.

I went to a cousin’s wedding in 2017 while I was spending a long 4 months break in China. In China, weddings are apparently a big deal. It’s basically a party of which everyone is invited as long as you’re related to somebody at the party. There are limousine involved and singer and dancer, photographer. It sounds expensive, if you ask me.

This Monday has been brutal so far. I didn’t want to get up this morning and the moment I did, I wanted to curl back under my comforter. It was so cold and I was so tired. I wanted to turn on the heat but mom was having hot flashes and sweating like crazy. She even had the windows open. It’s 40-some degrees outside, come on!
Is this what it feels like after a 56-hour work week? I’ve been working overtime every week since I started but never have I worked on a Saturday. I think being mentally strained is worse than being physically strained.
And of course, having a mom and family like mine, God forbid I should have one day off. My aunt dragged me out yesterday to have me take her to work and buy two boxes of cup noodles for her on my way home. Of course, when I visit a big box store, there’s no way I would ever make it out with just 2 boxes of cup noodles. I ended up getting some batteries and 2 gigantic (27 gallons) storage containers for my garden stuff.
They looked big at the store and even bigger in the back of my car but when I started putting stuff in them, they were smaller than I thought. I might need one more…or two.
After all of that was done, I was so tired and sleepy even though it was only 2 PM.
That’s what I get for skipping my morning coffee…
I barely dozed off when mom woke me up to help her plant some roses in the front yard. No, it’s the ones I propagated last week. They are these beautiful petite rose bushes from her house – the one she refuses to live in.
I ignored her for the first 15 minutes or so but to be honest, I was so tired I couldn’t even open my eyes without them automatically shutting less than 30 seconds later. She stomped her feet – boom, boom – and shouted, “do you know how much pain I’m in? I only do this for you, you know. If you don’t want to do it, fine, do ask me to do anything else for you again.” She stormed off, muttering angrily beneath her breath.
I should’ve replied, “I didn’t asked you to do this, you know,” but that would dredge that conversation from a few weeks ago which ended with her throwing something across the room, nearly missing my head. I didn’t see what it was because I was outside and out of harm’s way by the time what ever it was landed with a thud.
Anyway, I should return to work now.
