Like Grassy Meadows and Clear Blue Skies

Like Grassy Meadows and Clear Blue Skies

My bitch will be so proud of me today. She has been bugging me for years to inject colour into my wardrobe, and I achieved that this morning! I'm wearing a grass green spaghetti top and a baby blue sarong skirt (my inspiration for the title), and miracles of all miracles, they match! Definitely an alternative to my usual pairing of white/black tops with this sarong skirt. :)

I've been fairly fortunate these two days. Mr. Ram gave me a lift to the office yesterday, and BH gave me one today, just as I was about to sprint for the shuttle bus. You know the saying, "the nearer you stay, the more you'll be late"? It is SO true, especially for me. Haha.

Well, it's finally Friday. Time seems to pass so quickly, yet so slowly. After today, it'll be officially 3 months to the end of my internship. Ah, speaking of ends, it's Adel's last day today, and come next Friday, it'll be BH's, Douglas' and Mark's. I'd definitely miss all the lunch-time nonsense, but there's always Roger, our catwalk model. I'll post up the pictures when I have the time and urge to use the computer at home, haha. Robin's giving our souvenirs from his trip to Bali.. I got a pretty purple sequinned box. Nice!

Went to the Clarke Quay Food Fiesta on Wednesday - nothing fantastic actually, but I got to try the renowned Hooters wings. Not bad at all. :) Proceeded on to Fisherman's Wharf for fish & chips thereafter. Yum.

Met Kenrick after his tanning session at Sentosa yesterday to go shopping for hair dye. Now my hair's coloured what Garnier calls Cashew Nut, but it's actually pretty toned down. Can barely see the colour unless I'm under the light or something. Will be off to Chinatown to attempt to purchase my facial wash, before meeting my family for dinner at the restaurant. Have this urge to on a cd shopping spree actually, haha!

I Wanna Soak Up the Sun

I Wanna Soak Up the Sun

Two of my colleagues are away on half-day today. Just as well, don't wanna pass my flu bug to them, haha. I've been having flu symptoms for several days, but what spurred me to pay the doctor a visit was a phenomenal burping process that start at 10 in the morning and went on all the way till 7 in the evening. 9 hours, what a feat. Especially since I don't burp, I fart. Haha!

Ah well, had to skip my run as it was pouring yesterday morning, and I couldn't do it today as I was hacking my lungs away. I had a really bad experience in Secondary 3 when I tried to run when I had a cough. Throughout the short 1.2km or so, I really thought I was gonna have an asthma attack.

It's been a pretty laidback day today. No deadlines due till Friday, and the inspiration to churn out a press release has yet to strike (if it ever does that is). Currently scouring the papers and tabloids for mention of Sentosa. Seems like there's yet another problem with the Discover space shuttle that took off yesterday. Sure hope it'll return to Earth safely.

Took a post-lunch walk on the beach today, and it was the first time in 1000 days I felt sun on my skin. FABULOUS. One day, one day, I'll bring my bikini to work. But I don't exactly look forward to feeling sticky and sandy back in the office post-beaching though. I'll give it some thought.
Went to see the bikini I've got my eye on as well, but was too lazy and full to try it on. Haha! Today is pay day.. so it'll be mine soon enough! :)

Coffeebean has opened an outlet on the island, yum. Now I can get a proper caffeine fix and not an unsatisfactory one from the (weird) pantry coffee.

Going to Clarke Quay's Food Fiesta with a couple of colleagues after work, and I'm bringing them to have Fisherman's Wharf for fish & chips first. I ought to be shot for having that for dinner, what with my sore throat and lack of exercise, but oh well, I only live once. =)

As Easy as Sunday Morning

As Easy as Sunday Morning



There, my attempt at capturing the famous scene from E.T. It's showing on tv now by the way, and I'm kinda doing a bad job of multi-tasking between blogging and watching the movie. (I'm getting abit worried 'cos ET looks like it's dying.) I vaguely remember liking that show as a kid, and seeing Drew Barrymore as a young girl serves as a reminder of how old the movie actually is.

I'm slowly getting back in touch with the world of tv. Did anyone catch Bring It On last night? Jesse Bradford is hot hot hot. That lopsided grin... I caught the movie with my Secondary 2 class after our chalet back in 2000. Man. Is this a weekend of reminiscing? Lol.

Last night's filming didn't quite go as planned. Why am I not surprised? I must be a clairvoyant! Enough with the sarcasm, and I'm not going to go into it. And you know what, one of the writers from my favourite magazine, the one that I actually plan to do an internship at, was part of the film crew. Well, if she personifies the environment, then I'd better start asking myself some questions if that is really what I want.

So you see, last night's filming screw-ups were miniscule as compared to the implications of that fateful meeting on my future.
