the happy girl.

today didn't start out great. i'd anticipated waking up bright and early, making me a yummy breakfast of yoghurt and scrambled eggs, pottering around for a bit and then hitting the pool for some laps and to soak up the sun and get my required dose of vitamin d.

i woke up at 10am instead, rather groggy and sleepy. i intended to head out at noon (with sunblock lotion in tow, of course!) but i decided to bum around at home instead. i watched oprah, cooked some udon noodles for lunch, hung out with the guinea pig a bit, but got restless.

then at 3pm the sun came out. gorgeous blue sky, breezy, sunny weather. i put on my swimsuit and pulled a tank top and a pair of shorts over it. grabbed my gym bag and stuffed in a towel, some shower cream, a bottle of water, my wallet, phone, MP3 player and a copy of shape singapore magazine and left.

i swam for an hour and felt my muscles get a great workout. yay for that! (: then after cooling down and stretching out, it was time to bask in the sun. the sun was glorious! i love getting a dose of vitamin c this way, but i must remember to cap my sunbathing time to an hour or else i'd burn, and sunburns as we all know, are not fun.

lying on a deck chair, with my favourite songs plugged into my ears, a healthy magazine to entertain me, and lots of sunshine on my face, arms and back. simply delicious!

and then on a whim, i walked into a salon and made an appointment for a haircut. so now i've got my nice short 'do back. it's kinda like a cross between a really short bob and a pixie cut...perhaps i'll post a photo of it sometime.

me time: essential for a happy girl.
