My last stop today was to the GNC shop. They called to notify me that my membership card is ready for pickup. While looking at their products, I saw their Time Release Melatonin was on a 30% off sale. I knew what Melatonin was. I considered buying it because I knew I’ll be needing it soon when my work starts.

The sales lady told me she was also taking the sleep enhancer and that her sleep was never this refreshing. I asked if she felt great in the morning. She smiled to convey her delight as she remembers her mornings with Melatonin. I bought one bottle and on my way home I realized that here in Singapore the people I get to talk to the most (aside from my sister) are the people I transact business with. Today alone I spent 45 minutes talking to different taxi drivers, 20 minutes talking to the Indian-Singaporean guy from the Fedex about their prices, 30 minutes just talking to the GNC lady about Melatonin (actually a hormone that we already produce in our brains unaided) and the countless other sales ladies about countless other unimportant details.

I felt odd (and I had to feign a happy message) going home because I realized how much I miss socializing with friends and family.

I have seen 4 movies alone; Eating out has meant eating alone, or, on occasion, sharing a table with a complete stranger with a face be-speckled with pimples, thick-rimmed spectacles, consuming grease-laden pork, wearing office long-sleeves; My new phone, a motorola that I got for free after getting a Singtel line that I thought would help me connect has been rarely used since it’s purchase. Hence, my fedex.

Home is where the heart is. Cliché or not. So, if my recipient doesn’t agree with my fedex, I wish to drift into the heavy abyss of studies (Carefree, if you don’t want this mutual responsibility).

zzzzzzzzz (I think melatonins working.)

Note: I am using a different version of iWeb now. Better features supposedly. Thing is, some of the comments from the old has to be manually brought to this new. Here they are. I appreciate them all, anonymous though they might be.
