Melancholy Sunday

I'm all alone today. Sundays are like that aren't they ? Lonely and slightly blue, with most people winding down and getting ready to go to bed early and go to work on Monday. Sometimes I feel that Sundays are worse than Mondays when the melancoly factor is considered.
 
Earlier I was contemplating whether I should go and watch King Arthur, but since this is the first weekend after the opening I decided not to. I'd rather wait till next week for the crowds to thin a bit.
 
Last night I went to Kilkenny, that pub that
Shook was telling me about with Leon, Angelie & Susan. The place was okay, not exactly a standout but I've been to worse places. The one thing that did stand out was the Irish draught. Dark and bitter like stout (but not as thick) but much, much smoother than any beer I've ever tasted in Kuching. Despite its rather exorbitant cost, I had three pints. I'm going to drink this again very, very soon. Me & Susan was supposed to go and meet her friend somewhere later but neither one of us was feeling up to it. The three pints that I had earlier was enough to render me unable to speak, literally. I could not string two words together without me sounding like a jammed Gatling gun. I guess three pints is a bit much. So there went my Saturday evening.
 
I'm feeling strangely melancholic today. Strange because I haven't been feeling any melancholy for a good to months now. Sometimes I do that, be melancholic for no apparent reason. It usually happens on Sundays. I haven't been able to explain it properly, but if there's one day of the week that I feel a little bluish for no good reason, it's usually Sunday. I've also noticed that I'm the only person I know that has this pattern. Maybe I should get myself analysed by a psychiatrist to help figure this out ?
 
But never mind. The melancholy is temporary, blowing over a bit later this evening usually. I shall enjoy my alone time and not entertain any sad, negative thoughts. Being alone is nice sometimes. I've been doing a fair bit of socialising the last two, three weeks so I think I'll chill out by myself today. Just to keep the balance, you know.
 
And tomorrow I'll have an early morning at work. I hope that kam pua stall in Tabuan will be open.
 
Have a good week and hope that I can post something more interesting next time.

Oh and check this out. It's really interesting.
