dear miss winehouse,

I love you and will wait for as long as it takes for another sick album.

Fuck the paps and live your life however you like it.

my happy television moment

I despise television for reasons i'll share another time. Very much so that its more catchy to say, loathe passionately. I assume you already know that. Not in entirety, of course. I'm a mad cow about Discovery's Travel & Living and watch incessantly when i am home alone.

It's been well over a month since i watched any TV. I rose especially early today just so to get even with two unproductive days of sleeping till the late hours of noon, feeling slothful and bovine. Just to digress a little more, its beginning to look more positive now that i've learnt to be guilty about being a bum AND to paint the picture alive, i've been running and eating healthier. I give me 1 gold star.

So back to where i was, i had a happy TV moment this morning because i..

• happened to be in time for Martha.
• discovered the existence of Australian celebrity chef, Bill Granger (please don't mock me) and fell in love with his show and cooking. Bless you, bill.
• am now inspired by Bill and have two recipes that i'm eager to try.
• found out that Dr Seuss' Cat in the Hat is showing at 6.30 this evening. Yay!
• put on a festive grin because Christmas and the new year took over the channels.

I should give TV a second chance.

p.s i just realised the growing list of readers. Thank you so much! You guys are amazing and have no idea how you make an amateur blogger feel. It's very encouraging, my pioneer readers.. Someday, we can have an all bloggers dinner at my place. That'll be so neat. xx

Hey Yas..

Please?

all things breakfast

Remember the blog i featured called Simply Breakfast? Well, it's sad but Jen (the blogger and photographer) is putting an end to it by this year. So we'll have to bid it goodbye and enjoy what's left of it before the arrival of '09. However, she's not leaving just like that. Jen's releasing her second book. You can have a preview of it here and read her farewell post here. I'm going to make sure that i have a copy for myself.

Just the other day, i had an 'amibitiously planned' day (I'm sorry we're doing a few 'recalls' this time round). That morning, i missed out on breakfast and the run altogether because what wasn't surprising happened and happens all the time, i woke up a quarter to noon and rushed out to grab lunch with Yuki and Sue.

En route, I was still feeling like breakfast and hoping they'd pick a spot where there's at least a sandwich. Just to give in to that crave. So we were headed for Cedele. I've never been there so while my eyes were darting all over the menu, i learnt that..

They've an ALL DAY BREAKFAST MENU. Hallelujah.

So if you're looking to have breakfast at dinner (please tell me i'm not the only one), this is my suggestion for you.

p.s Here's hoping you enjoyed the cold afternoon, i spent most of it snuggling in bed, napping and keeping warm.

W O W

I swear i'll do anything for this whole look. Or at least, just THAT SKIRT.

You have no idea how much of an idiot i was overreacting to this. By myself. In my room.

now that i'm back..

I didn't but should've meant it when i said i'll be back when i wake. What i did instead was get out of bed at noon, cooked brunch and left for town.

Ahh town.. A burst of contrast from my three days of no internet, swanky malls and Class 95's love songs at bedtime.

My trip to Melaka was food for my soul. Very much like an educational excursion to my life, culture and family history. I will have an entire post about it because it was so meaningful and i'm beaming glad i went on it. It made all the difference to my thoughts about being me, the new year and life ahead.

Just a brief update.

Now that i'm back, the rest of the week seems impossible. I'm jammed with chores and sorts. And the chaos of every year end, Christmas shopping.

After contemplating for far too long, this fickle mind has decided. My photo blog is in construction and i will leave flickr alone until a later time. I hope the split makes more sense because i tend to share a hell lot of photos.

Okay, going to bed. Plan for later is to rise early for breakfast and a run, a lunch date with Yuki and then the tearing down of Orchard Road in search of Christmas gifts. If you're anything like me, that's considered ambitious already. Have a good night everyone.

home sweet home

Through the mud, lalangs, and some serious suburban adventures.. i am back home!

And so in need of sleep. Turning in, so i'll see you when i wake, my sweets.

back on Tuesday!

Leaving in a couple of hours..

I'll see you soon and be well!

another rush-for-time post

I'm running through some hundred or more pictures from the flea which i'll post soon. There's some chance they'll end up on my 'photo blog' that's under construction (i'm contemplating on a flickr account at the same time). Times like this, i wish i needn't have to be at work because i want so badly to share it!

Sorry for the snappy entries, i could've been a better blogger if only work didn't feel so much like a race course. But anyway, everything ends by Friday and we'll be running business as usual when i come back from that little vacation over the weekend. So if posts are slow this week, bear with me till Tuesday.

p.s I forgot to mention yesterday that it was World Aids Day and it sucked that i left it to go by without getting involved. Oh well..

Later!

at work!

Happy 1st December! Seems like we dashed through the year didn't we?

And good monday, how'd the weekend go? I have much to share but that'll have to wait till later tonight or tomorrow even. Blogging from 'work' and gasping for time. Hope to see you later!
