Pardon my title, it was just for fun.

Today I received a repaired part of a pen from the Krone (brand of the pen) factory in Italy, how fascinated I was to see a mini musical box function on the part. I think it is the cap of a huge pen, with hand painted chandler lights and highly glossed to perfection. The collectors' kind of stuff.

I wound the little knob at the side and a subtle and sweet little tune followed. How nice it would be to have that while writing...

The fairytale-like music from a musical box never fails to brighten my day. I love the little magnetic man and woman dancing to the tune, or the most common of all, a solitary ballet dancer. One could usually buy musical boxes of all shapes and sizes with different kinds of melodies from most bookshops, gift shops or departmental stores. However, it is pretty scarce now. Either that or you'll find rather boring ones. I miss the old skool ones that are sweet and affordable.

Today proved to be a horrid Monday, besides the thing about the pen, for I felt rather sick in the morning and pissed off about the fact that it's Mon. And some irritating things about work which I reserve to ZQ and myself, and simply just... in a sian mood.

But I guess that's normal. You know sometimes I wonder... would I feel this way if I were a filthy rich tai tai? Would I even have Monday blues?

Come to think of it, I wouldn't wanna be filthy rich. Just make a tad more wealthy than I am now.
