me: how did you teach your cats to open doors? did they go to insead and have an MBA?

josh: oliver is a smart cat! he learns by observing....

me: that is amazing. so i better lock the door at night when i sleep just in case he comes into the room and fucks me senseless.

josh: haha. i think so too......

day 3, singapore: josh is away on a business trip so i'm house guest and cat sitter. except i've never had cats as pets in my life so i'm learning the ropes. there are two of them and they are rather adorable and out of control like all good pets should be. oliver has a knack for opening room doors that are shut and i had a cirque de soleil show at 4am where he leapt from the floor onto my bed and onto the top of the wardrobe. it went on repeat for a couple of times while i watched in amazement, half asleep.

i've been very spoilt with my family and friends shuttling me between home inspections and socials, not wanting to expose me to the real world. so nothing has hit me yet other than the vast changes in the city which makes me feel very lost in a place that was once my home eight years ago.
