The Perfect Day

The first sip on my tongue and down my throat and I knew every cent of the 60 MYR I spent on that bottle was more than worth it.

Enter 28 of December 2011, an outrageously ordinary day. Nothing beyond the confinement of that little space of my own on campus; nothing beneath a Subway sandwich and a Tesco shopping trip. However, everything seemed extraordinary!

The franchise caught the corners of my eyes 5 days ago when it opened its doors. A good 30-35 minutes walk from my little space. WHO cares! Fast, relatively healthy, fresh food; count me in! 30 minutes walk to build the appetite, 30 minutes to burn a fraction of it off. Life here just got that much better.

The Tesco shopping trip proved to be fruitful! The bottles of bubbly I've been ogling over for a fortnight was still there! Thank God few people know of its significance where I come from! Rewind to my opening statement; one of the best 60 MYR I've spent! I don't keep a list but if I did, it would fall under "Top Five Magical Things I Found On My Own, Bought and Enjoyed".

28th December was wrapped up with a 4km jog under 30 minutes after which the bottle was popped open with a movie on the laptop.

Of course, nothing unprecedented. In fact, quite anti-climatic when I realised the big burn in my wallet; more so living by a limited weekly cash-flow. It is rather quotidian of me to frequent Tesco in the middle of the week to stock up on some supplies. In fact, sans the bubbly and Subway, it would have been a boring day.

Prove that The Perfect Day need not be anything phenomenal!
