the thing about using your face is…

…you suddenly see your face everywhere.

Imagine the shock i got when i saw myself in the advert column on fb?

Note to self: Kill Colin when i see him next.

On other news, i am actually quite excited to go down to mediacorp tmr to see how radio adverts are executed.

Working on a Saturday makes your Monday horrible. eeck.

I shall go hide one corner with a book because tmr’s going to be another day.

I honestly hope all of you are coping well today!

love,

L

Back to Monday

BUTS’09

First up, my mouse at home is not working. and my desktop is working slower than a tortoise’s stroll. I think i want need a powerful system. -.-

Girls got tickets to go catch BUTS at Fort Canning. Did you go?

I liked how they shifted from being purely classical to something more upbeat. i LOVE the finale, that was so hot.

M is off to the UK later this year and SH is off to Aussie. my heart is oh so painful.

Lobster fest.

16 live lobsters from France.

I reeked of lobster when i got home. the smell is oh so strong!

Speed Bump

Nothing catastrophic… not enough damage to make my life undrivable… just enough to deflate my heart a little. Making me wonder of the speed im traveling at, you know, in case i don’t see the next one, which im very sure is coming my way sooner than i can yell ’speed bump’.

When you have many speed bumps on the road, do you pick another route? Or do you simply roll over them?

They are there for a reason right? What are they telling me?

Stagnancy

There is this level of stagnancy im starting to notice and it is starting to scare me. Is it wrong to want more? :/

I suddenly want things that i should have asked for years back.  Wondering whether it’s abit too late for expectations.

Weekend

Friday hinted signs that it was going downhill and boy was I right. You know, there are certain things that i cannot stand. Childish behaviour comes up tops, followed by acts of idiocy… weightless reasoning come close. I got all of that thrown into my face over the weekend.

On both mornings my sleep was disturbed by an equally angsty woman. I am not sure which level of PMS she was at but boy was I hoping mad.

oklah, writing about it doesn’t actually help. -.- In fact now ive just wasted 10 minutes of my life going through the entire weekend’s brouhaha, which makes me sick to the stomach.

My weekend’s precious, when it gets destroyed like that, it just makes the week so painful to survive. sigh.

On other news, dad is back safely from Jakarta. When my indon colleagues informed of the bombing, the fear…..

and when i saw dad walked through the gates at the airport, i gave a little prayer to god for bringing him back home safely.

i’m getting nothing fresh and it’s making me listless.

i want nobody nobody but yooouuuu…

Have you heard this song from the Wondergirls? it’s been on loop on my laptop. and the dance moves, so addictive.

but these boys… they stole my attention. Check out the boy in glasses, he dances better than i can!

i want nobody nobody but yoooouuu….

heh.

I Heart Zee Avi!

I bought her CD a month back and i oh so love her voice! Bitter Heart’s been playing non stop on radio now but i like this fun one… cracks me up everytime i hear it.

one more time: I heart Zee Avi!

before work kills my mood tmr.

Are you Men’s Health Enough?

Got invited to see the finals of Are you Men’s Health enough.

Hahaha, truth to be told, the tag line should have been enough to warn me, or us girls.

“We are not looking for models, we are looking for role models.”

HAHAHAHA.

cannot make it. There was only one guy that i consider man enough.

Last contestant, number 10.

I found a photo, feast your eyes:

I didnt stay throughout but i think the winner was the canadian dentist.

look who i met!

Jonathan!! we were squealing from across the dance floor!

feature writer with asian geographic. You’ve done well! mighty proud of you!

We ended up at Indochine but my eyes cldnt take it anymore. so oldddd….. eeck.

Guess who went boarding???

Hello!!!

stuffed myself with chicken rice and a whole basket of wanton after with S.

and then dad bought singkong from Batam so guess who ate more after that?

It is of little wonder why i can’t fit all my clothes from last year.

the good news is, i get to buy new ones!

I just started my Saturday!

I spent my Saturday sending dad’s baby to the workshop. I think he’s not happy i scratched his new car. eeck.

but really, which is more impt? Daughter’s safety or tiny weeny meeny scratch on Merc’s rims? :/ I kept telling him i love him so so so so much. Dont think it worked.

When i have to go incur his wrath, ill put on my puppy face.

note: Puppy face is an expression you put on to get things your way. Most of the time when you use it correctly, it works. Sometimes not, which leaves you that awkward few seconds to change it quickly  to another one that works.

And then i spent the other half sleeping. I only woke up at 11 to go have dinner with S at Newton. Plan to go to the arts thingy at Bugis failed cause it was raining and i think the whole event ended earlier.

Daddy’s birthday! stuffed with so much food i thought i was going to die frm overeating. as always…

MJ Tribute @ Zirca

Got an invite to the tribute. I tell you, the public queue was oh so long! i wouldnt have bothered really.

even after i left, the queue was still looooonnngggg!

hate goodbyes

Im going to miss her.

im already missing her.

we were such sms buddies. meh.

I really should be sleeping cause i need to be up in a few hours to go boarding!

god, it has been so long, i am oh so excited.

and i am certainly not looking forward to Monday cause i have tons of deadlines to meet s0 guess who will be flooded with work again?

siggghhhhhh….. i wanna go on a holiday!

PS: if you must know, Shelly is really cranky these past few days. her whinings are really starting to annoy me!

note to s: FEED HER MORE FISH. AND STOP GIVING HER THE CHICKEN BISCUITS!

Lyd

Weekend’s almost over. :(

Hello from Hard Rock!

It’s been eons since i last stepped into this place, if i can recall i think the last was with the starbucks crew watching Kumar in action.

hmmm…..

i think the place is overpriced as with all other places. HA HA.

Aurick is such a big boy now it’s crazy! i tell you babies grow up faster than you can say i made a baby!

Daddy enjoying the attention on stage. heh.

Mio just flew off to Japan today and she was busy smsing me telling me what we’re both gonna wear (with Yuki) for d and s’s wedding.

She’s gonna hunt for a piece for me in Japan! :):)

i just pray it’s all covered up because i stood in front of the mirror yesterday and i look like a sack of potatoes.

And S has clearly been desensitized because he pinched my roll of fat and excitedly exclaimed, “muffin top!”

he thinks it’s funny.

Tennis

We had a good round of tennies yesterday although i still cannot slice. i cant even hit the bloody ball! i wonder how murray/venus can do it so easily.

Serena won! unbelivable. i was banging my hopes on Venus. but she gives me hope. At least ‘big’ girls still can play well on court.

Cat Show

Went to a cat show @ simei yesterday. I want to have a Bengal. It is oh so pretty. Can i dye Shelly those colours?

Robinsons sale

Last day today at Expo! go! bought knickers from La Senza. cheap cheap!

stuff from Esprit, Nine West, Fcuk. Guess who had to buy new pillows because the pillows he attempted to sun on the roof deck got drenched in rain water?

Past week @ work

It’s been such a painful week if you must know. It is filled with you know what and you know who. It is so frustrating! :/

Daddy’s dinner

i have an hour left to go get ready before we whisk daddy off for dinner!

giving face

People don’t do this very often anymore do they? almost saddening.

Run

Dawn and i are running for a race we have not registered for! i have unsuccessfully persuaded Sha to join us. She said she will stand on the side to pass us water. -.-

SHA! RUN WITH US.

Vicious Cycle

How do you get out of a vicious cycle? anyone knows how to without killing someone? Let me know.

In need of a holiday

Guess who misses the fishies underwater?

which reminds me, i have still not uploaded the HK pics!

but right now, im too busy hunting for a dinner place.

Talk soon!

PS: Ayam penyet at Bugis doesnt come with rice. You need to add additional 60 cents on top of the 5.50 if you want rice. what? that’s like ordering Fishball noodles with noodles! or chicken rice with rice! or Kebab with pita! ok, u get me. but seriouslllyyyyy………

x,

Lyd

5 in the morning

i can’t sleep. ugh. mind’s too occupied. bleargh.

colin made it to the news and im so so proud of him. Although having ppl i havent heard from for AGES text me after seeing my picture is pretty startling. hahahaha. 

let me go find the expat magazine with my face on it as well. i dont know where i chucked it………

P2 Dictation

“The white cuckatoo likes it steamy and hot.”

do you?

Samuel’s bday @ Hard Rock

Went to Hard Rock on Wednesday. i have to say i like the female singer that night! she’s goooodddd…

no time to upload the pics.

can’t wait for e weekend!

Hong Kong

which reminds me, ive yet to upload pics for this.

Brewerks

With Dawn on Monday. Chairs were oh so not comfy. me no liikkkeeeyyy.Guess who’s joining a run in september??

hungry

me. sobbbsss….

Team.

A team comprises a group of people or animals linked in a common purpose. Teams are especially appropriate for conducting tasks that are high in complexity and have many interdependent subtasks.

A group in itself does not necessarily constitute a team. Teams normally have members with complementary skills and generate synergy through a coordinated effort which allows each member to maximize his or her strengths and minimize his or her weaknesses.

Clearly there is none in my sight.

Can’t wait for the weekend to release all these pent up frustrations!

i am sitting on my bed exploring options on how to inflict maximum pain without leaving behind a single fingerprint.
this is not good.

i shall go burn my essential oils and massage my throbbing temples.

in the words of Serena Williams: Ai Yi Yi!

PS: but if you have any idea at all, feel free to let me know.

3 things:

1. maximum pain
2. no evidence behind
3. the longer the duration, the better.
