do what you have to do.

*edit

I know I can’t be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have the sense to recognize but
I don’t know how to let you go

i've been practically hermit-like in my stayathome stance (under the guise of quality family bonding) for the past 2.5-3 weeks [evidence of this provided by my own MOTHER's remarks (to my friends at my dinner party) on how i'd been at home almost every single day since my return].

happy to languish in the bliss of going to bed/waking up/doing whatever, whenever i please and not having to shoulder the weight of dealing with... society, until a not-so-gentle reminder from gen hits me like a ton of bricks; at the end of the month i'll be leaving AGAIN! so it's 'bout damn time i awaken from my deep/lazy summer slumber and re-immerse myself in society slash orchard road, regardless of how much i occasionally despise/avoid certain members of... society. (predominantly male, in case you were wondering. on second thought, it's a tie on the hate-count between both sexes.)

notice my use of the word 'occasionally', *shrugs* it's not like i duck under the carseat whenever mum drives past certain houses in the estate. oops, wait, wasn't that just last week... ?

doctor/dentist appointments, CT scans, lasik surgery/recovery aside, i'm ready and raring to go! calling up old friends for lunches and dinners and suppers and drinks. you name it... it's on 'the list'.

plans, puh-plans plans plans.
