So, let's first talk about yesterday.
As i worked till very late on Thursday night, i was all exhausted on Friday. I would have stayed at home if it wasn't because of a lunch appointment with my aunt.
I called my aunt a day earlier and asked her if she wanna have lunch together since i would be on leave. Don't know why but i felt that i need the company of a friend or family member. Probably am really feeling very down and lonely lately.
And so i had claypot chicken rice for lunch with aunt at Clarke Quay. By the time i finished lunch and headed to Orchard Road, it was already 2.30pm.
I spent only about SGD300 yesterday. Didn't really buy many things, and didn't manage to get the stuff that i planned to buy either. So all in all, it was a somewhat unsatisfactory shopping spree.
Since i was at Takashimaya, i went to Kinokuniya bookstore to check out The Complete Peanuts comics. This is a collector's series of ALL Peanuts comics from the beginning till the end. I haven't been keeping up with the latest sets, and the last one i bought was the set for year 1963 - 1966. Unfortunately, the boxed set for 1967-1970 was sold out even though the latest released set of year 1971 - 1974 was there. I didn't buy it and decided to check out other bookstores or the Internet instead to see if i can get both sets together.
However, i still couldn't resist the temptation of picking up one Peanuts comic book.
It was actually a wrong move for me to buy this thick book, because i gotta carry it in my backpack and continue shopping around, which resulted in my stiff neck and shoulders. But since the book is called "Treasury of Happiness", perhaps it can put some smiles on my face.
Shopping alone is sad. It kinda amplified the loneliness in my life. For so many years, i've never missed the Great Singapore Sales and i always had my 贝 to shop with me, and always at Orchard Road as well.
Now, i realise that i have no one anymore and i gotta do everything by myself. I do not really have any friends in Singapore, or even if there are, it feels different between shopping with friends and your loved one. So when i was shopping at the familiar places yesterday, i seriously did not feel the joy.
I think the exhaustion is taking a toll on me. When the body is low in energy, depression would set in.
That's probably why.
