The tightening of teeth with metal
The little skin torn at the cuticle
The small and harmless ulcer in the mouth
The muscle aches from a satisfying run
The pain in the abs when you can’t stop a sneeze
The grinding of teeth you can’t stop at night
The look of your loved ones as they bald and age
The knowledge that you can’t do anything more
The disappointment of your once-thought dreams
Hurts

I mentioned on Twitter that I won’t be posting this up till next year, but I can’t help it. I love this dress; how it feels next to my skin, and I marvel at how the drapery is done so intricately and delicately. I snagged this off The Link’s sample sale – no, not a Vera Wang, but a Alberta Ferreti. Love.

A little tug and sunshine rays
Another five minutes
Brushing, splashing, washing your face
Another five minutes
A gentle call, a nagging thought
Scratch scratch on the tummy
Furry, itchy, scratchy scratchy
Wet nose on the mummy
Dog and man they wait
A groggy face, I wake
I’m also exploring tumblr, so I’ve been posting up stuff there as well

Just thought I’ll post something to lighten up my crazymad week.
I can’t remember what the occasion was, but Jon bought a bouquet of flowers to surprise me after work and he brought me to Villa Bali for a nice dinner. Kinda nice to still go out for dates after so long?

Saturdays are great for meeting friends, and for sneaking in nice little dates.
We had a cuppa coffee (two actually, for each of us) before heading to meet our friends for Zach & Cyn’s engagement dinner; and after that, a spontaneous trip to Macs after midnight for some vanilla ice cream cone.
And I just have to say, Papa Palheta is a dream. We were recommended by Soo Ming, a coffee fanatic who really knows his beans, after lamenting how difficult it is to get good coffee here in Singapore. That is, apart from the Kopi-O and Kopi-C which I love too.
So, Papa Palheta is a retail shop selling coffee beans, but they’re also set up like a cafe for you to taste their coffee. It runs on a tipping basis – and I really admire their guts for doing that in kiasu Singapore, and the people there are really friendly. (btw, we gave $20 for 4 cups of coffee – think that’s decent).
(p.s. this is my virgin post from the WordPress app on the iPhone! Maybe it’ll inspire me to write more)

Just watched An Education and I really loved it. I love a romantic, period film with a female protagonist. I’ll say Carey Mulligan is my latest favourite female actress! Other than Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley. I love a classic woman. If I had a daughter, I’ll give her a classic name. It might be generic, but with the hybrid names these days, maybe classic names will eventually be unique again.
Carey Mulligan
Natalie Portman
Keira Knightley

Jon and I possibly made our biggest purchase so far on our own. We gave ourselves a budget but didn’t wanna compromise on the car make, so we looked around for a decent second hand and got ourselves a Suzuki Swift 1.5 litre manual transmission.
Actually, I think the sports rims won Jon over. It seems when it comes to cars, most men have a little ah beng hidden in them. I am dating a closet beng.

doesn’t mean you stop celebrating your birthday. Doesn’t mean you’ve gotta have a quiet, boring evening. My colleagues (I’d rather call them friends actually, but they happen to be my colleagues too) decided I should go partying and insisted they’ll make me drunk.
I worked very hard not to puke, not to get drunk, and aimed to reach a point where I was just happy. I think my wish came true, except I took a little too long (2 days) to recover from one night of partying. And I’m embarrassed to admit this – my knees hurt while dancing. Help me, Glucosamine!
Here are pics of the night. I love my girls. I really do.
The PR team – Rae and Cherie.
Most of the Marcom team.
To sum this year up, I… Read the rest of this entry »
