Midway through using the toilet earlier, i had a kind of premonition/feeling that something would happen to my towel rack, located directly to the left from my position at the time. that thought had barely finished forming when one of the suction cups came loose and one end of the towel rack fell. thinking back on it, i'm actually not sure which happened first - the thought, or the towel rack actually falling. but whatever the case was, i was able to shoot my left hand out and catch it before it fell to the floor. makes me wonder if a parallel universe version of me did the same thing before...or after? who knows, with whatever spacetime things.

recent happenings have made me realize that my thinking and attitude towards relationships have changed. background info: i started talking to this singaporean guy who's currently living in australia. he's quite keen on getting into a long-term relationship, and he seems to have decided i could be the one after about a day's conversation. previous versions of me would probably be jumping at the opportunity, but present me is a bit more...realistic, i guess. it is a bit refreshing though, to be the one being chased instead of the one doing the chasing. i'm not sure how it'll go, for a multitude of reasons, but i will at least meet him once when he's back. he's also indicated that he wants to be monogamous with his future partner, and i'm not sure how i feel about that now. well...no use worrying too much, i think the best thing to do is to just let things happen.

got a few engagements this coming week. first is going to my aunt's place tomorrow to pick up some letters. dinner with the guildmates on tuesday (don't forget this time!). gym guy might be coming over on wednesday. nothing special on thursday; might go visit the judo elder if he hasn't been discharged by then. there's a unit meeting on friday where management is supposed to unveil measures to improve employee satisfaction. the spoiler i've heard is that nothing's changing. need to pack my smaller suitcase for qingdao after tuition or preferably on friday night, as i'll be going to the airport on saturday night and flying off in the early morning on sunday. must admit that it still feels a little wasteful in a sense, as it seems like i'm spending a disproportionately large sum on money on a short trip. should remind myself that i can afford it, and it's ok to use the fine china once in a while!
