naked

I feel so naked! Have you had one of those times when you feel naked because something is missing? The feeling when you forgot or lost something that you've had on you all the time? Today it is my wrist watch. I kept touching my left wrist to feel for my watch but it's not there. The strap of my wrist watch broke and I could not find the buckle anywhere to put it back so I left home in the morning with the watch in my pocket. However, my right hand couldn't help feeling for it on my left hand, even when I do realize that my wrist watch is broken. It wasn't the weight of the watch that made me feel exposed. It is more like the feeling that something is not there. I have been wearing this watch since PMR, which was when my grandma bought it for me and I have it on almost all my waking hours, except when I take my bath. I also have the habit of adjusting it everytime I am nervous or bored. Maybe I will start figuring out a new habit without it....

It is a cheap watch but it has been with me through every path of my life journey. Now it is just sitting my pocket while my hand still misses the feel of it and I feel naked without it.

:) :) :) I was rubbing my eyes when I saw the post title.

I thought you have gone explicit :) Like really explicit following Hsin's advise to read The Sleek Black Mercedes' Blog :) :) :)

I do feel that something is missing too when I lost my diamond watch, again...

I used to have a problem before. Not having a watch by you felt so hard. However, I finally abandoned the faith and embrace solely on my handphone. I can make calls, SMS and yet it's a clock at the same time.

This allowed me to carry less stuff (less stuff leads easier management if I intend to go out) which is my wallet, keys and handphone. Simple as ABC...
