my whole body is aching from the furniture-carrying we had to do last night... My sister has finally moved out of her toh guan flat and her newly renovated place (just next door) is quite nice. Because of the funny architecture of the flats in my block, my nieces' room window will be directly opposite mine. However, due to a sudden turn of events which occurred rather recently, all of us, my sister's family included, will be moving out again in four or five years' time...

Judging from how sore my whole body feels today, I gotta conclude that I'm really out-of-shape and therefore, it might be very prudent to re-start my exercise regime which I had to quit fer awhile a couple of weeks back because of the rainy weather. Actually, I've been trying to gain weight/mass (albeit the natural way, without the use of exorbitant mass-gainers & stuff) for ages but with my apparent propensity to skip meals or have them at irregular times, and my detestation to snack inbetween meals, I haven't really made much progress. Probably, I only have my genes to blame as all those in my family are rather petite-sized anyway... I've heard it said that I take after my late dad in terms of physique and personality; and I must admit, we are gregarious people.. when we want to be. LOL

I think it's really funny how the horoscope section at yahoo.com (kindly provided by astrology.com) is divided into many subsections with each one, sounding quite different from the other. For instance, a reading of the sagittarius starsign goes as follows;

Quickie:You don't have to go all-out. You can live with the cheaper version.
Overview:
Faxes, long-distance calls and visitors you didn't expect to see until your next life are on the agenda. Better clear off everything you really weren't looking forward to.

Daily Extended Forecast:
The stars fill you with love, but your passion may cool later in the day. Practicality becomes your main motivator, which may be a good thing at this time. Make sure your generous spirit isn't too easily moved to excess. Rein it in a bit, both emotionally and financially. A conservative approach is always the best for a long-term gain. Set aside some money, and save some emotions until you are sure they are properly directed. Anything worth having is worth saving for.

I've grown rather addicted to horoscope-reading... It's one of the first few things I do with regularity every morning. I'm not sure what kind of perverse pleasure one could derive from such a silly habit but somehow, it gives me a sense of satisfaction... Perhaps I'd just like to believe that the world around me makes sense, and to have the events that occur in my daily life reaffirmed in writing, as if evrything has been pre-ordained and beyond my power to change, somehow relieves me of my own culpability in my life. But of course, I'm such deluding myself --- The stars do not have divine power over me; they merely project a possible outcome.. an extrapolation of a possibility.

However, for all the practicality and good sense I often exhibit, I am a firm believer in kismet. Go figure~
